KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in El Paso
- El Paso is a diamond among gems when you think about charming places to visit. Finding a cheap car rental in El Paso is of paramount importance to immerse yourself in so much of the town’s history and culture. You can opt for a trip to major attractions such as Franklin Mountain State Park on a passenger van rental. The park is situated approximately 20 miles from El Paso city Centre. If you want to head further afield, for instance, visiting the El Paso Museum of art or a trip to the El Paso Zoo, SUVS will be a perfect choice. They provide exceptional handling in rugged terrains and offer comfortable driving. There are numerous SUVs available at El Paso International airport.
- Load up your travel crew and hit the road during weekends. There is numerous free parking in any location on Sundays. Parking is free at the downtown shopping districts on Saturdays. If you are heading to the El Paso Museum of Art, San Jacinto plaza, or any area close to city hall, there is a vast parking lot at 222 N Kansas St Garage. If near Magoffin Home State Historic Site, the El Paso Museum of History, or El Paso Scottish Rite, the County Garage has a generous parking lot where you can leave your car.
- It is essential to conversate with El Paso traffic rules to avoid being on the wrong side of the law. For instance, avoid using electronic devices such as phones and tablets while driving. El Paso has sidewalks along the parking lots. When pulling out of the parking lots, always stop to yield to pedestrians or oncoming traffic. Ensure you stick to the recommended speed limit. Avoid exceeding the set speed limit, which is 60 mph and a minimum of 45 m.p.h. Always stick on the right side of the road. It is against the law to drink and drive in El Paso. To avoid being frowned upon by the El Paso Department of roads, you can visit the department to get more insights into traffic law changes.
- Visitors to El Paso, whether they are there for business or pleasure, are highly advised to rent a car as they will find that there really is no other way of getting around town. Although there is a public bus and a trolley in the downtown area, the city is simply a car town. It can easily take upwards of an hour to get across town via bus when in a car it would be just a short drive.

- Red light cameras are legal in Texas and are found at many intersections in El Paso and across Texas. What this means for drivers is that, if you by go through a stale yellow light as it turns red -- or just roll through a red light -- you may be on the hook for a fine. This is because red light cameras take pictures of any drivers who fail to stop for a red light.

El Paso’s rush hour runs primarily from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Mesa Street is one road to avoid during rush hour, though, as it can get quite bogged down.

Pros:
The vehicle was perfect for our trip.Cons:
Let customers know they must have a major credit card to rent a vehicle. The first representative that I spoke to when I went to pick up the rental was very rude, did not help. He was very sarcastic which was very upsetting because at that moment I thought my air b&b had been paid for I did panic and your representative did nothing to help again was extremely rude. I finally was able to get my brother to go to the airport drove from the west side to help me rent the car your second representative was extremely nice, helpful and professional I wished I would have gotten both their names.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
Price was ok. No line at pick-up (which should have warned me)Cons:
It took two people ten minutes to check me out (not including actual car pickup). During that time, I saw another person in line leave out of frustration. The car they rented me did not have a remote key, even though it should have had one. Only one door lock on the whole car. Had to lock the doors before closing, and I accidentally locked the key in the trunk once, which required me to call AAA. I'm positive they charged someone else that expensive key replacement fee in the past, and never got a new key.2 locations in El Paso
