Fetch your luggage, stroll out of Waco, TX Airport (ACT-Waco Regional), and collect your rental car. Which one you motor off in depends on where you’re headed. If you’ll be spending the majority of the time driving in downtown Waco, around 6 miles from the terminal, choose something small. A compact car that’s easy to handle will be perfect for those bustling city streets. But with loads of things to see, like the glorious sandy shores of the surrounding region, you may want to add some pit stops. A bigger vehicle, like an SUV or a full-size car, will make lengthier road trips more comfortable.
