Pickup Truck rental in Austin

Texas can get warm in the summer months, so head over to Barton Springs pool to cool off. It’s an outside pool where people can enjoy a swim, situated by Zilker Metropolitan Park, taking just over 10 minutes to journey across the Colorado River from downtown Austin. The water comes from natural underground springs, which maintain a sizzling 68 degrees all year long. Relax and soak up the Texan rays, and get ready to unwind at this must-visit city staple. It’s not open every day, as maintenance is sometimes required, so it’s best to check before heading there.

If you’re a keen photographer or just love snapping for fun, there’s no better place to do it than Mount Bonnell. It takes around 15 minutes to drive the 5.6 miles from downtown, and, once you get there, it’s panoramic vistas galore. See breathtaking skylines of the city from an 800-foot elevation, with gorgeous views of the Colorado River. If you’re going with kids, take extra care, as it’s quite steep. You’ll have to park your Austin pickup truck rental at the base of the hill and climb up the stairs to reach the iconic views at the top.

If you’re after an adventure among lush greenery, must-see wildlife and the relaxing sounds of flowing water, add Westcave Outdoor Discovery Center to your Austin itinerary. It’s quite a bit outside of the downtown area, taking just under an hour to drive the 30-or-so miles west. This is where renting a truck in Austin comes in handy, as you don’t have to rely on public transportation and can explore Westcave to your heart’s content. Once there, tour guides can take you through this blissful corner of Austin, where you’ll see waterfalls, caves and much more.
