With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience everything that Selma, 45 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights starting with Edmund Pettus Bridge, Museum of Slavery and Civil Rights and Brown Chapel AME Church. Tuscaloosa is another wonderful option. It’s 50 miles away and home to a variety of fun things to see and do. Bryant-Denny Stadium, Tuscaloosa Amphitheater and Tuscaloosa River Walk are only the start.
