Austin’s iconic swimming holes are easy to enjoy with your rental car

Is there anything more southern-sounding than a Texas swimming hole? Austin is full of them. The city features numerous natural pools, including the famous Barton Springs. The Barton Springs natural pool is fed with underground water from the Edwards Aquifer. Boasting an average temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit, Barton Springs is ideal for swimming at any time of year. So, throw on your swimsuit, pack your Getaround car rental with a towel and lounge chair, and head to Barton Springs for a break from busy Austin.

Go bat-watching in Austin with your rental car

Did you know Austin is one of the best places in the world to go bat-watching right in the city center? In the 1980s, the Congress Avenue Bridge was reformed and transformed into an ideal bat cave. Approximately 1.5 million Mexican free-tailed bats now call the bridge home for a few months every year. From late spring to early fall, head to the bridge at sunset and watch the bats take over the skyline as they emerge to find their next meal.
One of the best spots to watch the bats fly into the sunset is at the Statesman Bat Observation Center. Paid parking is available for your rental car at the Austin-American Statesman or in the surrounding areas.
Live music, swimming holes, bat caves, and more await you in Austin. Get your rental car booked now and get ready to enjoy the unique Austin!
