Very much the beating heart of the state of Texas, the affluent and very upmarket city of Dallas has its roots firmly planted in the oil production industry. Following the opening of its railroad link with Houston in 1873, the city quickly began to prosper and today stands proud as one of the most appealing and interesting destinations in America's Deep South. Dallas boasts a stunning array of architecture, ranging from Gothic revival buildings, Neoclassical and Victorian residences, and some of the most striking post-modern structures in existence. Visitors new to the city are drawn to the area that witnessed the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on Friday the 22nd of November 1963. A special attraction called the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza recounts the incident in graphic detail within the context of 1960s history and culture. The perfect place to reflect on this grisly moment in American history is the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden, a 66-acre treasure trove of ornamental shrubs, rare trees and several unique plant collections located along the shores of White Rock Lake, very close to the city centre. With a car rental in Dallas you'll also have the opportunity to visit one of the world's best-known film sets, that of Southfork Ranch where the popular television series Dallas was made.

" The T&C were written in UK English using insurance terms that a UK person will understand, third part, full comp etc. The price was good in comparison with other similar deals from the same location. "
" Almost new car, great to drive, return quick easy. On collection I asked for two x one day second driver insurance, the first and last days of our rental. I had checked with Autoeurope in the UK before we flew that we could have 2 x single day second person insured. Counter staff at pick up point blank refused on offering single day insurance for second driver only offering for whole rental period about $300 dollar rather than 2 x $15. I was very disappointed as all the other parts of the rental were great. "

" I might have liked the option to have an insurance excess and pay a little less. Similarly, I might have liked the option to pay a little more for satnav. The hire rate seemed a bit high to me, but it was also the best I could find, so maybe I just picked a bad time! "
" The rental process was smooth and I was not subjected to any hard sell for optional items. No manual was provided for the car, which meant it was not clear how to operate cruise control or other ADAS features, nor was it clear how to open the rear doors from the outside (answer: you need to press unlock twice on the front door). The type of fuel to be used was not specified. The car had various minor blemishes, which were not itemised. At the departure gate the attendant said these could be ignored since I had full damage waiver with no excess, but it still made me feel a little uncomfortable. The car was not checked in my presence on drop-off, which was also a bit weird. "

" When I booked I hadn't realized that the car would be supplied by Dollar. Also, the booking said that the desk was in terminal. It wasn't. Dallas car rentals are a 10 min shuttle bus ride away. "
" I reserved a car weeks in advance of my arrival. I had to wait 2 hours before my car was made available. The excuse was that they had NO cars. After travelling for 16 hours this is the last thing I needed. Other travelers who has reserved cars that day were told that they would not get a car a car and a couple I spoke to had been overcharged by hundreds of dollars - an issue that the staff could not rectify because it was a 'system' issue.

" Although I'd pre-booked there was still a hold up at the collection desk as the operator needed to consult with the supervisor regarding the booking on their system. The car had some scuffs that I took photos of (although no one seemed bothered about) but was easy to use. Drop off was quick and other then a check of the mileage I had no interaction with Avis staff "

" Auto Europe very helpful on the fun and makes it easy to book. Budget are useless and don't care about sustained service and find it easy to lie rather than solve a problem. "
" Very very poor..I was lied to repeatedly just for them to charge me extra. Nobody can answer anything. They pass the buck. Charge for miscellaneous things and then lie about it. Say will refund then double charge. Not auto Europe's fault. Just budget. Advise people to take a picture of ya reading before take car back because we got lied to at that. They said they scanned it and that was true because there was zero way for this to be possible as I took the same car out again and didn't clock it in with anyone as I was in the parking lot from the furthest point and the person at the cash desk said that's fine. Also my recite said the tank was full. All in all I would tell anyway to run for the hills when it comes to budget. "
