You’ve probably heard a lot about Austin: Indie music haven, outdoorsman’s playground and of course, home to time-honoured Texas traditions like brisket, antiquing and haunted jails. Its motto may be “Keep Austin Weird”, but there’s nothing weird about Wotif’s awesome Austin car hire deals—snag one today and get moving.
Prep for the nightlife by chillin’ out all day: Book car hire in Austin and head west to Zilker Metropolitan Park. Make a “ripple” in your holiday with a paddle around Lady Bird Lake, get in the spirit of the locals with a bike rental or just take a dip in the three-acre, au naturel Barton Springs Pool.
The park also hosts the famous Austin City Limits music festival, so look into Austin packages if you want to get your groove on.
With a town officially nicknamed the "Barbecue Capital of Texas" just 50km south, how can you resist? Answer: Don’t bother trying. Give in to the call of the brisket and stuff your belly with smoked meats in Lockhart.
If you can still fit behind the wheel of your Austin car rental, motor downtown and rummage through the antique shops to try to work off those calories. Or use those feet to tour the castle-like Caldwell County Courthouse, built in 1894, then grab a flashlight and pretend you’re in your very own thriller as you explore the abandoned County Jail. Boo!
Keep your holiday itinerary as weird as you like it—and on your own schedule—when you book a car of your own on Wotif. We’ve got awesome Austin flights and hotels, too, and if you’ve got a layover at LAX on your way home, you’re in luck! Check out our hotels in Los Angeles and get star-struck in the “City of Angels”, if only for a night.
