Driving Tips for San Antonio

Once you pick up your car rental in San Antonio, your adventure begins. Keep these recommendations in mind for a smooth driving experience:

  • Rush Hour: San Antonio’s roads can get congested in the early morning and late afternoon. Try to avoid I-410, I-10, and I-35 during these times if possible.
  • Texas Heat: Being at the southern edge of Texas, San Antonio gets hot especially during summer. Be sure to park in the shade whenever you can.
  • Share the Road: In the downtown area, you’ll likely encounter lots of pedestrians and cyclists. They always have the right of way, so be sure to slow down and drive with caution.
  • Speed Limits: As a large city with a grid layout, the speed limit in the urban area is typically 30 mph.

These and our other tips for driving in Texas will help you drive like a local in San Antonio.

Although there is a long line when I first got there the staff was able to pull in more people and start working through the backup and everybody was so friendly. What seem to start out as a frustrating typical travel experience actually ended up very positive.

My flight was delayed twice, and when I finally got to Sixt at the San Antonio airport, I encountered another issue: my driver's license had been damaged. I was told I couldn't rent a car with a damaged license. However, Nakayla, an employee there, went out of her way to help me find another solution and get everything sorted out. Even though I was already frustrated, she really saved the day. I highly recommend the company and appreciated the cleanliness of the vehicle.
