Important information about Corpus Christi car rentals

Rental cars in Corpus Christi are a great way to travel to this Gulf Coast capital and explore some of its magnificent attractions, including expansive beaches, the USS Lexington, the Texas State Aquarium, and Blucher Park. Although there’s not much traffic in this laid-back city, expect to get busy motorists along Hwy 358 and Hwy 286, both of which lead to the city’s most iconic destinations. If you plan to visit the beach, then make sure you get a parking permit sticker on your car as they are required for parking in some places, including along the bright blue beaches. There are about 17 car rental locations in Corpus Christi, giving you a wide range of options to choose from.

Is it worthwhile to rent a car while visiting Corpus Christi?

Although getting a free parking space for rental cars in Corpus Christi may be difficult, there’s an array of private parking lots in numerous neighborhoods, with hourly fees and daily parking rates to meet your needs. If you are traveling during rush hours, avoid taking South Staples Street as it’s one of the busiest streets in this city. Padre Drive Island starting from SH 286 to Ayers Street is also one of the busiest freeways to avoid when visiting Corpus Christi. Corpus Christi car rentals are also an excellent way to venture into some of the fantastic sights out of the city center like the South Texas Botanical Gardens & Nature Center, which is about 14.5 miles from the city center. Walking around the city can be a tiring venture and a cheap car rental in Corpus Christi comes in handy.

What laws should I keep in mind while driving in Corpus Christi?

Keeping in mind some of the specific traffic laws will help you to safely navigate a luxury car rental in Corpus Christi. For instance, if you’re traveling with kids younger than seven years, then it’s unlawful to leave them alone in the car longer than five minutes unless they’re in the company of an individual who is at least 14 years of age. If you intend to have a bottle of your favorite drink after a long trip, then it’s important to note that it’s illegal to have a blood alcohol count exceeding 1% while operating a motor vehicle. It’s thus critical to check with Corpus Christi’s department of motor vehicles for any recent changes in traffic laws.

Will I need a special driver’s license or permit to drive a rental car in Corpus Christi if I’m visiting from another country?

With a valid driver's license from your home country and proof of lawful presence, you can rent a car in Corpus Christi, such as an electric car rental or a passenger van rental, for the duration of your visit. The state of Texas does not recognize an International Driving Permit as a valid license, and you may not use it if you want an economy car rental. Additionally, you’ll have to be 21 years or older to get a driver's license. However, Texas teen driving laws allow you to get a learner's license, but you’ll only be allowed to drive if you have a licensed adult of 21 years or older accompanying you in the front seat. Most car rental companies in Corpus Christi prefer credit cards as the mode of payment.
