Question 1

What are the major attractions in Dallas?

Accepted Answer

If your trip to Dallas is all booked but your travel itinerary is looking a bit empty, let us give you a helping hand.

Your friends and family will be positively green-eyed with envy when you share with them all the incredible pictures of you at Dallas World Aquarium and Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center. And after you've finished telling them all your amazing stories about Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center and American Airlines Center, they'll already be halfway out the door wanting to book their own getaway to Dallas!

You'll have to rise early if you want to see all the interesting attractions that this place has to offer. Nasher Sculpture Center and Sixth Floor Museum are no-brainers. Fair Park and Cotton Bowl shouldn't be missed either.

Plan a stop at Reunion Tower. It's one sight you'll find on most travelers' to-do lists. Dallas Zoo and Dallas Museum of Art are also a stone's throw away and worth taking the time to see.

Question 4

What kind of rental car should I get for Dallas?

Accepted Answer

Making your way to Dallas to check off AT&T Stadium and Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center? Now that's what you call a dream road trip! But it's a good idea to give a little thought to just how you'll get around. Driving in this urban jungle can be nerve-wracking, so pick smaller wheels, like a compact or an economy car. You'll be weaving in and out of traffic and parallel parking like you lived there your whole life. If you'd rather leave the driving for outside the city, that's fine too. Book something more comfortable and a little roomier, like a four-wheel drive, and explore the sandy shores of Texas.

Question 5

Should I get a luxury rental car in Dallas?

Accepted Answer

You'll be glad to hear that there's a broad range of both economy and high-end rental vehicles in Dallas. What you go with will depend on how much you want to spend and what you're hoping to do. Prestige vehicles often spare no expense when it comes to comfort and class. If you want to indulge yourself, why not pick an SUV with all the bells and whistles, or perhaps a stylish medium-sized vehicle? Alternatively, if you're just after a car to get you around town as cheaply as possible, maybe go for an economy vehicle (or something else that won't burn a hole in your pocket).

Question 6

Is it difficult to park in Dallas?

Accepted Answer

Locating a car space in Dallas should be relatively easy. Of course, it can depend on the time and place — you may find it tricky parking right in the center during busy periods.

Does Dallas have peak-hour traffic?

Question 9

What happens if I get a speeding fine while driving a rental car in Texas?

Accepted Answer
