KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in El Paso
- Visitors to El Paso, whether they are there for business or pleasure, are highly advised to rent a car as they will find that there really is no other way of getting around town. Although there is a public bus and a trolley in the downtown area, the city is simply a car town. It can easily take upwards of an hour to get across town via bus when in a car it would be just a short drive.
- Ready to get started on your trip to El Paso? Step one is likely to pick up your hire car. Travelers landing at El Paso International Airport will find the hire car counters located in the Arrivals Hall of the airport.
- Red light cameras are legal in Texas and are found at many intersections in El Paso and across Texas. What this means for drivers is that, if you by go through a stale yellow light as it turns red -- or just roll through a red light -- you may be on the hook for a fine. This is because red light cameras take pictures of any drivers who fail to stop for a red light.
- El Paso experiences its share of rush hour like many cities in the U.S. that rely upon private transportation. However, the congestion is not nearly as severe as it is in other major cities in Texas such as Dallas or Houston. El Paso’s rush hour runs primarily from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Mesa Street is one road to avoid during rush hour, though, as it can get quite bogged down.
- Book your rental car in El Paso at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Compact rental cars in El Paso are around 34% cheaper than other car types, on average

Pros:
The vehicle was perfect for our trip.Cons:
Let customers know they must have a major credit card to rent a vehicle. The first representative that I spoke to when I went to pick up the rental was very rude, did not help. He was very sarcastic which was very upsetting because at that moment I thought my air b&b had been paid for I did panic and your representative did nothing to help again was extremely rude. I finally was able to get my brother to go to the airport drove from the west side to help me rent the car your second representative was extremely nice, helpful and professional I wished I would have gotten both their names.10.0 Wonderful

The cancellation. I booked a car and was under the impression I could drop it off in another location. The employee at the El Paso airport location told me that wasn’t the case. And that I can’t have my money back. Never picked up the car but still charged. Very very shittyOne location in El Paso

Anonymous, Nov 2019
Pros:
Price was ok. No line at pick-up (which should have warned me)Cons:
It took two people ten minutes to check me out (not including actual car pickup). During that time, I saw another person in line leave out of frustration. The car they rented me did not have a remote key, even though it should have had one. Only one door lock on the whole car. Had to lock the doors before closing, and I accidentally locked the key in the trunk once, which required me to call AAA. I'm positive they charged someone else that expensive key replacement fee in the past, and never got a new key.2 locations in El Paso
