Cheap car rentals in Midland
KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Midland
- Midland International Air and Space Port is located roughly 11 miles from downtown Midland. Driving cheap car rentals in Midland to downtown takes about 20 minutes in normal traffic. Exit the rental parking lot and drive about one and a half miles east on La Force Boulevard. Join the I-20BL E and continue for about six and a half miles. Jump onto W Wall Street for about two and a half miles, then make a right to S Big Spring Street. Expect slight traffic on some sections of W Wall Street. The street will take you to Midland downtown, just a few feet away.
- The grid layout of Midland is surrounded by the I-20 and Texas State Highway Loop 250. The former cuts along the eastern and western edges, while the latter runs on the eastern, western, and northern edges. The I-20 gives direct travel to Odessa and Midland International Airport. It also provides cheap car rentals in Midland with access to Dallas and Fort Worth. Cutting across the heart of Midland is the Texas State Highway 158. It heads to Ballinger and Goldsmith in the east and west, respectively. It also connects to the I-10, providing access to San Antonio.
- Roads in Midland are prone to flooding during the wet season, which starts in May and ends in October. Drivers of Midland car rentals should drive conservatively on wet roadways, which are dangerous. Avoid roads known to experience the worst flooding at all times. These include Faudree Road and Highway 80. Some tips to help you drive safely on wet roads include slowing down your speed and maintaining a reasonable distance between vehicles. Avoid making sharp turns on wet roads and always turn on your headlights to improve road visibility. Ensure your wiper blades are working before exiting the rental location, especially if you’re in town during the wet season. You should also avoid driving close to the edge or wet roads as water tends to be deep on these sections; stick to the center where the water is shallow.
- Midland is a relatively small city in Texas and having a rental car can help you explore everything it has to offer in a relatively short amount of time. A rental car could allow you to visit all the attractions and do all the activities in your itinerary without having to worry about keeping up with anyone's schedule. Additionally, you will have the comfort that other modes of transportation may not offer, and you'll have control over who you share your personal space with. It's also cost-effective because you can rent an economy car from car rentals in Midland, and you'll have the flexibility to venture out to places like the Heart of West Texas Museum, which is about 78 miles away, at your convenience. Simply put, renting a car when visiting Midland will give you the utmost freedom to enjoy your trip.
- The Midland International Airport has a car rental facility within the airport terminal. You'll find it on the first level across from the baggage claim. To get an ideal car for Midland, compare Midland car rentals on KAYAK, then reserve your car of choice and collect it at the airport. Once you arrive at baggage claim, go to the counter where the manager in charge will give you the contract and car key, then show you to your car. If you would rather not drive yourself from the airport, you can reserve the car at the rental agency in the city and pick it up from there.
- Midland roads are relatively uneventful, but you need to watch out for motorcyclists and cyclists. You should also know that Midland winter roads can get quite dangerous due to black ice, snow, sleet, and ice. It's advisable to avoid such roads unless you are an experienced driver to prevent accidents. Even so, you should consider staying off the road or driving slowly and keeping a distance from the other cars, especially on Interstate 20.
- The morning commute on Midland Road lasts from around 7am to 10am, after which it goes back to normal and peaks again from about 4pm to 8pm.
