An SUV is a convenient model to choose for a rental car in the region, as it will provide you with stability when driving in the rain. Since this type of vehicle is spacious, it’ll also provide you with extra comfort when embarking on longer road trips to some of the many state parks in the surrounding region. Recreational activities are common, including biking, hiking, swimming, and fishing, and an SUV will have enough room for you to store any necessary equipment.
Residential and business streets will usually have a maximum speed limit of 30mph. If you’re driving near a school, you can plan on following a speed limit of 20mph instead. Streets that are in more remote areas of town may have limits up to 40mph, while highways usually have a limit of 65mph. The city has traffic cameras at many of its main intersections, so it’s important to follow speed limits to prevent receiving a ticket or fine.
The city offers a substantial amount of free parking and street spaces. There is the Parking Lot on Van Buren street, which is both free and centrally located. If you’re unable to find free parking, you can always choose to park in one of the several paid parking garages that are offered, such as the La Plaza Parking Garage that is located in the heart of downtown. The airport is also known for having several large paid parking lots to choose from, both short-term and long-term parking options.

Cons:
Apparently I booked with Hertz in Brownsville instead of at the Brownsville airport. The two behaved like separate entities. Not enough space here to go into detail, but they could've handled this much better.10,0 Wonderful

Apr 2021
Pros:
The person working the counter on the morning of 04/24/2021, was dishonest and cagey. The entire process was a waste of time he stated that the car would was being washed and would be ready in 30 minutes, after more than hour he was stating the same lies and would just walk away and go outside.Cons:
If the vehicle is not available just tell me it is not even though I had a reservation. Just wasting time waiting for a car that is not going to be available. Do not lie and expect that a customer would be satisfied. I had to use a different company that had a car available at a lower price and was able to rent without any problems2,0 Poor

Pros:
Nothing because they canceled my rental the day before I was supposed to get my rentalCons:
It would have been better if they didn’t gave me false hope by letting me book the rental. If they don’t have the car to be rented, they shouldn’t let me book or reserve the car. In allowing me to reserve, they have stopped me from looking for a better alternative2,0 Poor

Pros:
Picking up the car went very smoothly.Cons:
The car very was dusty inside and did not have windshield wiper fluid. When returning the car to the airport, there were no signs for Dollar Car rental. It was very confusing and stressful trying to return the car. I was never told that I was supposed to leave it in the Hertz rental car spot. It was also annoying providing a receipt showing that I refilled the car within 10 miles of the airport. The company should be able to turn on the car and see that the tank is full.One location in Brownsville
