If you're a traveler looking into rental cars, Austin is a remarkable city to explore from behind the wheel. Home to the University of Texas, Austin is nationally renowned for its music scene and nightlife, and as a gateway to the gorgeous Texas Hill Country.

Here are some suggestions for drivers on where to go and what to see in their rental cars in the vibrant, fun-loving capital of the Lone Star State.

Visitors won't have any trouble finding rental cars. Austin has car companies at the airport, downtown and elsewhere in the region.

Travelers can set out in their rental cars for Austin's imposing, pink granite Texas State Capitol, which was built in the 1880s. Nearby are the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum and the LBJ Presidential Library and Museum.

For the next Austin stop, drivers can take their rental cars across the river to 360-acre Zilker Park, home to Zilker Botanical Gardens and Barton Springs Pool. Nearby is Umlauf Sculpture Gardens, featuring works by renowned sculptor Charles Umlauf.

There are plenty of other great options for travelers with rental cars. Austin calls itself the "live music capital of the world," and the two top entertainment areas are along Sixth Street -- with its 80 restaurants and clubs -- and in the Warehouse District -- featuring 30 bars and restaurants.
