Convertible car rental in Houston

Stretching from Shepherd Drive out to Sabine Street, Buffalo Bayou Park is a 160-acre urban oasis nestled neatly between Allen Parkway and Memorial Drive. To reach the park, drive west from downtown Houston along Allen Parkway. With your convertible's top down, you’re free to enjoy scenic views of the downtown skyline as you cruise beside the bayou.

The park offers hike-and-bike trails, kayak rentals and the historic Cistern - an underground reservoir-turned-art-space. Don't miss the Waugh Drive Bat Colony, where thousands of bats emerge at dusk. Finish your visit with a meal at The Dunlavy, a unique glass treehouse café offering picturesque views of the bayou alongside its Southern California-inspired menu.

Embark on a breezy coastal drive by taking I-45 South from Houston to Galveston Island, which is about a one-hour drive away. After crossing the Causeway Bridge, exit at 61st Street and continue down to Seawall Boulevard. With the Gulf breeze in your hair, you can drive along the seawall, enjoying calming ocean vistas and all the beachfront attractions.

Then perhaps explore Galveston’s Strand Historic District, known for its Victorian architecture, unique stores and local eateries. For a more relaxed experience, visit East Beach or take a ferry ride to Bolivar Peninsula. Galveston offers a perfect blend of sun, sea and history for convertible enthusiasts.

Discover Houston's more eclectic neighborhoods by heading west from downtown on Allen Parkway to reach Montrose, and then north on Shepherd Drive to enter The Heights.

Then continue to The Heights, characterized by its historic bungalows, tree-lined avenues and thriving boutique scene. Both neighborhoods offer a unique blend of culture, history and flair, making them ideal for relaxed exploration and spontaneous stops at local cafés or stores.
