KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Amarillo

  • Since it’s not a large city with an extensive public transportation system, it’s recommended to explore Amarillo with the convenience of a personal car. If you can’t bring your own, consider renting one from car rentals in Amarillo. Most of the cars have updated maps to help you easily navigate the city and its surroundings without having to worry about getting lost. You can explore destinations such as Cadillac Ranch, 10 miles south of Amarillo, then find your way to Paro Duro Canyon State Park, 26 miles from Amarillo.
  • Once you arrive at the Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport, you can choose your car from the car rental facility located within the airport. You can easily find the rental car counter in the baggage claim area and the car will be parked right outside the baggage claim. Some of these rental companies include Avis, National, and Enterprise. You may find it easier to book your car through KAYAK and have it waiting for you at the airport terminal.
  • One important thing you should be wary of when driving in Amarillo is cell phone prohibition. It’s largely prohibited in Texas, so be careful if you plan to venture out and enjoy the attractions the state has to offer. Still, you may use a hands-free feature such as Bluetooth, speakerphone, or a voice-activated device.
  • There is little to no traffic in Amarillo, making the locals refer to their rush-hour as "rush minute" instead. This is mostly between 7am and 8am. Ross-Mirror Street, Washington Street, and Georgia Street are among the busiest roads in Amarillo. Only a few Downtown Amarillo streets are slightly tricky to navigate, as they are one-way streets. However, this is no different from most towns, so if you’re careful, you’ll be okay.
  • One of the things that drivers of car rentals in Amarillo need to know about before they get behind the wheel are the seatbelt laws that exist in the state of Texas. In the state of Texas, every passenger in a vehicle needs to be wearing a seatbelt when they're riding in car rentals in Amarillo. Children that are eight years old or less or are less than 4'9" tall must ride in either an approved child safety seat or a booster seat. Remember that it is the driver of Amarillo car rentals that is responsible for every passenger having the proper safety belt or car seat.
  • While we all love to have our mobile devices with us at all times, there are specific rules and laws regarding the use of mobile devices when driving car rentals in Amarillo. Laws in Texas state that you may not text, email, browse the internet, or browse social media while you are driving a vehicle. You can use a mobile device to do things such as use the built-in GPS in the phone or to make and receive phone calls on a mobile device so long as the driver is doing so in a hands-free manner.
  • Some of the reasons that people had to Amarillo and make use of cheap car rentals in Amarillo is because of some of the amazing annual events that occur in the city every year. No trip to Texas would be complete without a rodeo, and in June, a great thing to do with Amarillo car rentals is head to the Coors Cowboy Club Ranch Rodeo. The event takes place in Amarillo Tri-State Fairgrounds. Therefore, to be on the safe side, you will want to avoid driving along 3301 10th Ave.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Amarillo for $63 or less
  • Book your rental car in Amarillo at least 2 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate rental cars in Amarillo are around 23% cheaper than other car types, on average

Pros:

Great quick friendly check in despite the computer being down.

Cons:

The car smelt like cigarettes. Leaving the airport on the chip seal road the car was very loud but I assumed it was just as it was a new road so the small pebbles we're making the noise. ~20 minutes later when I got on the highway the car was making a sound like the wheel was going to fall off or something. I pulled over and verified the wheels were all tight and assumed it was a pebble from the road stuck behind the brake shield and was too far from the airport to make it to my destination in time. The noise came and went depending on speed and eventually turned into a very loud dragging noise. I pulled over and looked under the car to find a splash shield was dragging under it. I was able to tear it off and all noises were gone. Can't believe Avis let the car leave this way, I am glad I am a mechanically inclined person to find and resolve this issue.

I am not sure why kayak gave me that car. It was one way rental and AVIS called me before I went to pick up the car and said they do not rent one way cars and canceled our reservation. By that time I could not reserve a flight back to San Antonio, because the flight was already gone. Anyhow, it was very stressful and it took many hours of waiting for the next flight. By the way, I tried kayak again for another car rental and it always showed AVIS and no other company.

Flight didn’t get in to Amarillo until 9:30 pm as scheduled. Attendant thought we would be there at noon.? Requested a mid size SUV and received a small suv. Front right tire kept losing air while In Tx and Az. and had to get air about 5 times. Not sure if problem was with tire or info gauge inside car. Problem resolved itself once we got into Nevada. Drop off was convenient and attendant was a very nice lady.

Pros:

The staff was very rude and blunt. I called to let them know I was going to be a little late picking up the vehicle and the had asked about it and was told they didn’t have the vehicle we had booked for instead gave us something bigger (not what we wanted). Representative was like we don’t have any other vehicle available and was asked if we wanted to cancel the reservation she didn’t even wait for a response and just walked away from us. We were not happy. Representative just walked into the office.We still kept the reservation but the customer service was very rude and we didn’t feel like they wanted us as customers.

Cons:

Better customer services!!! I been there twice and same interaction. Thought that the second time would be different. Staff need to train more on customer service. If this keep up they’re going to lose customers.
