Top tips for renting a car in Dallas
- When you are visiting Dallas and you're ready to start driving in car rentals in Dallas, it is important to know about the seatbelt laws you'll find in Dallas and in the state of Texas. In Texas, the law states that everyone in a vehicle needs to be wearing a seatbelt. For any children that are less than eight years old, they must ride in either a child safety seat or a booster seat. The only exception to this rule is if these children are taller than 4'9". If anyone in the vehicle is not properly restrained, the driver of the vehicle faces potential fines.
- When you are ready to head out in Dallas car rentals, it is important to know about certain rules regarding using your cell phone while you drive your car. Doing any type of texting, whether that is sending or receiving text, is always illegal while you are driving a car. It is also important to remember that using a handheld device in a school zone is always illegal. Drivers can use a handheld device while they are driving a car so long as they do sell in a hands-free manner. Check ahead with cities you plan to visit, as some cities ban all cell phone use while driving.
- Plenty of annual events take place in Dallas, which is a great reason to get car rentals in Dallas. The Red River showdown takes place in October at the Cotton Bowl and pits two of the biggest college football programs against each other every year. Another great event that you would love to have Dallas car rentals for is the Riverfront Jazz Festival. This event covers three different days and three different venues, all of which occur in the Dallas area during Labor Day weekend.
- Undeniably, driving is the most convenient way to get around Dallas, as it simply is a car city. For instance, if you plan on heading to AT&T Stadium to see the Dallas Cowboys play or to Globe Life Park in Arlington to see the Texas Rangers, then driving is your best bet as public transport from Dallas to the stadiums is very limited
- Need to pick up your rental car after landing at DFW Airport? Fortunately for travelers, the Rental Car Center is just by the south entrance to the airport and is accessible via a 24/7 shuttle bus that can be found on the lower level of the terminal. As for Dallas Love Field Airport, the rental car desks are within the terminal and there is a shuttle bus that will take you to the rental car lots.
- Many intersections in Dallas and all over Texas feature red light cameras, which record traffic as it passes through. That means you are liable for a fine if you drive through a red light even if the police don’t catch you, as the lights will record your license plate number.
- Though Dallas, and Texas in general, features some of the larger and more impressive highway networks in the U.S., it still falls victim to rush hour. Rush hour in Dallas normally goes from 6:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. and from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Some of the major areas to avoid during rush hour include Highway 66 and the Dallas North Tollway.
- 25% of our users found rental cars in Dallas for C$ 56 or less
- Book your rental car in Dallas at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Off-airport rental car locations in Dallas are around 10% cheaper than airport locations on average
- Compact rental cars in Dallas are around 64% cheaper than other car types, on average

Nov. 2020
Cons:
When we made the reservation we chose Alamo specifically because it said the pick up would be in the terminal while others said a shuttle would be required. A shuttle was still required, and was packed with people (no social distancing), but the ride and check-in were both very quick. Our vehicle was in excellent shape and there were no hidden charges. I would absolutely rent from Alamo again.8.4 Very good

Staff were friendly, and the car was clean when i received it.Cons:
Having my reserved car ready to go, instead of having to wait for over 4 hours in line and to see if i even will have a rental car, (the staff told us they are out of rentals) Also.....have your Thrifty counters open! Both locations were CLOSED and i had to deal with another rental company to just get my reservation for pickup/drop off.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
The staff at the pickup was great!!! The car was excellent and provided a safe journey over our 1600 mile trip.Cons:
At pickup and drop off, we ended up going to the old Thrifty locations and had to be redirected to the Right location. Communicating that you have merged companies and local ions for drop off and pick up would be really helpful. But I’m the end, your staff at DAL and LAX we super awesome and friendly.2.0 Poor

We could never get ahold of the company to get our rental. We would like a refund. No where was it mentioned that the company was closed on Sunday and that there would be no way to get ahold of them.Cons:
Letting the renters know when the company is closed and when it would days would be best to rent.3.2 Poor
Aug. 2020
Cons:
This rental company is off, off, off the DFW terminal property. Getting to their location was a complete mystery. The number to call for shuttle service did not work. I was never able to contact a live person, so I had to walk-up to the Budget counter at the real rental car center at DFW - and got the most amazing van on the spot for an incredible price. Don’t go off-brand, even if you need a van.2 locations in Dallas
