Travel:
Although Austin has a mass transportation system (link
to Austin's Capital Metro transportation system) it is not as
convenience as in some larger cities. Therefore, a rental car would make
traveling around Austin more convenient. Most major car rental agencies
are at the airport (link
to transportation from airport).
