KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Lakeway

  • Using car rentals in Lakeway offers distinct advantages. It grants unparalleled convenience, enabling you to explore the city and its scenic surroundings at your own pace. Unlike relying on public transport, a rented car ensures flexibility and autonomy, allowing you to reach off-the-beaten-path destinations easily. With Lakeway's diverse attractions spread out, a car offers efficient access to attractions, dining, and outdoor activities. With Lakeway car rentals, you can visit areas like the beautiful Hamilton Pool Preserve, the charming Hill Country Vineyards, and the scenic Lake Travis, all of which are more accessible if you have a car.
  • If you fly to Lakeway, you'll probably land at Austin Bergstrom Airport (AUS), about 26 miles from Lakeway. At Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, you can conveniently locate rental cars on-site, in a Consolidated rental car facility. You'll find the pedestrian crossing adjacent to the baggage claim area. Opting for a car rental at AUS will offer you the convenience of immediate access upon arrival, streamlining your journey and saving time.
  • Driving car rentals in Lakeway is an unforgettable experience, especially if you follow the designated rules and regulations. Driving in Lakeway generally reflects a calm and relaxed style, with residents tending to adhere to traffic rules. The community places importance on road safety and respects regulations. While bicycles are present, they are less numerous than in larger cities, and trucks are commonly seen due to the suburban landscape. Jaywalking is less common, and pedestrians usually use designated crossings. Typical vehicles include sedans, SUVs, and pickups, reflecting the city's suburban character.
  • Navigating car rentals in Lakeway may pose challenges during rush hours, typically between 7 and 9 am and 4 to 7 pm. Traffic congestion can be notable along Ranch to Market Road 620 and RM 2222, significant routes connecting the city to Austin. These roads experience increased volume, potentially leading to slower travel times. It's advisable to plan your travel outside of these peak hours to avoid delays and ensure a smoother driving experience. Another challenge is winding and hilly roads, particularly in the hilly terrain surrounding the Lake Travis area. These roads might require extra caution and skill, especially for those not accustomed to driving in such conditions.
  • Standard hire cars in Lakeway are around 42% cheaper than other car types, on average

Pros:

One needs to be very careful in checking puck up and drip off locations. My pick up was NOT at the airport . The airport location told me there would be a sleight upcharge to redo the reservation and start a new one. The price was DOUBLE and there is no refund on the Priceline reservation!

Cons:

The airport should have helped there customer and traveler and explained to me where the other location was. They should have advised me to take a 30$ Cab ride and saved myself over 500$. I had to jump through hoops to get it right. In all fairness, the Representative at the OTHER location was awesome! He was helpful, honest and empathetic to my situation.

Staff very friendly. But my gas tank wasn’t full and my bill was $900. So now I get to spend prob an hour on the phone tomorrow fixing this.

6,0 Okay

Chris, May 2021

KAYAK

Pros:

The car functioned

Cons:

I showed up late to my reservation so the rate changed, increasing my bill for a one-week rental by $150, which was my fault. But the agent at the desk didn't tell me my rate was increasing, instead obfuscating the increase with a bunch of fees, one of which was a fee for prepaid gas which I explicitly declined. I called support to inquire about the rate increase, which I only noticed later, and it took over an hour to get a straight answer. During that call the service agent said she'd remove the prepaid gas free, since I declined it, and she didn't. So... yeah, the car functioned fine but the customer service was terrible.
