Top tips for renting a car in Fort Worth
- Enjoy the convenience of booking car rentals near Fort Worth Central Station. The distance from this train station to Fort Worth city center is 0.4 miles (0.6km) via Commerce St or Jones St. Though it's a walkable distance, Fort Worth car rentals are the best choice, especially if you've got heavy luggage. Again, picking a car from the train station makes it easy to return it if you must travel by train. Some popular rental agencies near this train station include Hertz and Avis. Here, you can book premium or cheap car rentals in Fort Worth, depending on your preference.
- Be careful when driving in streets that lack pedestrian sidewalks in the city. For example, when navigating your rental vehicle on Humbert Avenue, Como's Street, Horne Street and Littlepage, you'll notice that they lack paved walkways. Therefore, many pedestrians walk on the roads throughout the day. Driving can be tricky if you're used to driving in streets with pedestrian lanes. Thus, check for signposts displaying speeds and major crosswalks in the city to avoid injuring pedestrians. In addition, you should research the best roads to drive in the city to avoid such complicated streets.
- Like other states, Texas has its unique traffic laws. Before driving your rental car, you should get familiar with the traffic laws in Fort Worth to abide by the law. The regulations require you to slow down when approaching tow trucks, flashing emergency response cars, and before changing lanes. You must also stop when you see a school bus stop sign to avoid five years in jail or paying a fine between $1250 and $2000. Again, avoid using a cell phone when driving near a crossing zone such as a school. However, the law allows you to use a hands-free device when you have stopped your vehicle.
- Fort Worth, like all of Texas, is absolutely best navigated in a personal vehicle. It is recommended that visitors rent a car because many of the sights and attractions are too far apart to get to without one. For example, say you want to catch a Dallas Cowboys game; it is a 20-minute drive of 15 miles from Fort Worth. But on public transport? It is close to impossible to get to because of all of the connections you would have to make.
- If you are like most passengers landing at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, then picking up your rental car is your first order of action upon arriving. There is a designated shuttle on the lower level of the terminal that passengers can take to the rental car center. If you have trouble finding it, just look for signs directing the way.
- One thing to be aware of when driving in Fort Worth is that throughout the city and throughout the state of Texas, there are numerous red light cameras. Such cameras record any drivers who run red lights so that the police can issue a ticket to the driver at a later date. While no drivers set out planning to run any red lights, of course, it easy to make a mistake when sliding through a stale yellow light. So make sure to keep that in mind during your time in the city.
- Fort Worth regularly suffers from moderate bouts of rush hour traffic, especially on its major highways. During the workweek, the morning rush hour period goes from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., while in the afternoon and evening it lasts from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on many of the key outlets out of the city.
- Book your rental car in Fort Worth at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Compact rental cars in Fort Worth are around 56% cheaper than other car types, on average

Jul. 2020
Pros:
The gentleman that helped me was very nice. It was really hot that day & I had to wait outside for close to 45 mins while he helped other customers before I got my vehicle. He was always communicating with me & was very professional & friendly.Cons:
The car was very dirty & smelled like cigarette smoke. There was previous damage to the vehicle (scrapes & crack in the windshield-which was all recorded before I took possession of the vehicle). And I was about an hour into my journey, figuring out off the gadgets when I came across the tire gage. All 4 tires where WAY off (47, 45, 31 & 33) YIKES! I pulled over & adjusted the tire pressure. That should have been taken care of prior to me getting in the vehicle.7.6 Good

Received an email Wednesday before my rental date of Saturday that they did not have a 7 pax vehicle which was reserved for me. Then had the nerve to say contact them if I wanted a smaller vehicle. I might expect such from a smaller company but not Budget!! I had to look around for another vehicle which was not available. Not too happy with this inconvenience.Hertz
