Houston car rentals: the key to exploring

Houston car rentals make exploring this highway-heavy town a breeze. Like many Texas towns, Houston is big and attractions that locals consider "nearby" can be as far as 70 miles from the airport. Fans of art, space exploration, or gorgeous Southern gardens will need a Houston rental car to see it all, so use RentalCars.net to find the best Houston car rentals and start exploring.

Eye on art from a Houston rental car

Located in Houston's museum district, the Menil Collection anchors a neighborhood filled with art galleries and boutiques, just drive your Houston rental car to the district and park. The Menil family's private collection features an eclectic grouping of more than 15,000 pieces and is among the most valuable private collections of our time.

Keep your Houston rental car parked and walk down the street to Rothko Chapel, a serene place where art and spirituality meet. Paintings and sculpture in the chapel were commissioned by the Menils to create a space for contemplation. Mark Rothko's paintings are paired with a scuplture by Barnett Newman that honors Dr. Martin Luther King. Walk back to your Houston rental car and prepare to explore some more.

Touring South Texas

A Houston rental car allows you to consider spirituality from another angle at Space Center Houston, where the mysteries of the universe are explored. It also allows you to make this amazing drive to outer space. Step into a Space Station module that reveals what life is like for the astronaut. Kids love tearing through exhibits designed just for them and smart families who book ahead can get their kids into space classes at the center, too.

In Houston car rentals come in handy if you want to see the ocean. Drive your Houston rental car south to Galveston Island to see its sandy-white beaches and explore Moody Gardens. This amazing complex alone is worth a Houston rental car splurge -- you'll tour an aquarim, rainforest and Discovery Museum, all housed under glass pyramids.
