Honda Accord rental in Austin: four adults, three bags, long highway days

The Accord is the sedan for trips where the back seat is actually used. Two colleagues and a client heading from a downtown hotel to a meeting at the Domain, grandparents in town for a graduation, four friends on a road trip to San Antonio: a mid-size sedan gives the rear passengers real legroom and keeps the cabin quiet at 70 mph, which a compact does not quite do.

Where an Accord makes sense from Austin

Texas distances are long, and the Accord is built for them. From central Austin, the River Walk in San Antonio is about an hour and twenty minutes down I-35 without traffic. Houston is roughly two and a half to three hours east on SH-71 and I-10. Waco is about an hour and forty minutes north, and Dallas around three hours. On those stretches a bigger sedan is simply less tiring than a compact, and it is still easy to fuel and park at the other end.

Closer to home, the Accord is comfortable on the curves of Loop 360 and on US-290 west to Dripping Springs, Johnson City and Fredericksburg. Our Hill Country day trips guide lists routes and stops.

It also suits a long day inside the city. A schedule that runs from a downtown office to the Domain, about 20 to 30 minutes up MoPac, then out to dinner in Bee Cave or on South Lamar adds up to a lot of time in the car. A mid-size sedan keeps that comfortable for everyone on board, and it still fits a standard garage space at every stop.

Accord or the cars next to it

Against the Toyota Corolla or similar at $98, the Accord adds a third large suitcase and noticeably more room in the back seat. If it is just one or two of you, the Corolla is the better buy.

The Mazda CX-5 or similar costs the same $114 a day and also takes five people and three bags. The choice comes down to taste: the Accord is lower, smoother and quieter on the interstate; the CX-5 gives you a higher seat and a hatch that makes coolers and strollers easier to load.

Three typical Accord rentals in Austin

• A business trip with a team. Land at Austin-Bergstrom, load three people and their bags at the curb and go straight to meetings. See how curbside delivery works on the Austin airport rental page.
• A UT graduation with the whole family. Four adults moving between a hotel, the campus and a dinner reservation is exactly the job. Our UT parents' weekend and graduation guide covers the dates that book up.
• A longer stay that includes a road trip. A week in Austin with a day in San Antonio or Waco is where the weekly rate pays off. Read what a week or a month costs or ask about monthly rates in Austin.

Frequently asked questions

Will I get exactly a Honda Accord?

You reserve the mid-size sedan category. Most of the time it is the Honda Accord; when it is not, it is a similar car of the same class, seats and year range, at the same price.

Do you deliver to Austin-Bergstrom International (AUS)?

Yes. Send us your flight number and the car is at the curb when you land. Airport delivery in Austin is free.

What do I need to rent in Austin?

A valid driver's license, a major credit or debit card, and a minimum age of 21. We confirm everything by phone within the hour of your booking.

Is a Honda Accord comfortable for a drive from Austin to San Antonio or Houston?

Yes, that is where it shines. San Antonio is about an hour and twenty minutes down I-35 and Houston roughly two and a half to three hours east. A mid-size sedan is quieter and roomier than a compact over those distances, especially for passengers in the back.

Should I rent an Accord or a Mazda CX-5 in Austin?

Both cost $114 a day and carry five people and three bags. Choose the Accord for a smoother, quieter highway ride; choose the Mazda CX-5 or similar if you prefer a higher seat and a rear hatch for coolers or strollers.

How many suitcases fit in an Accord?

Three large suitcases in the trunk, plus small bags in the cabin. For four checked bags, look at the Hyundai Santa Fe or similar.
