Car Rental Corpus Christi International Airport

Texas' gateway to Padre island, Corpus Christi is the state's largest coastal city. Serviced by the Corpus Christi International Airport, the city is popular with in-state and out-of-state tourists. With the largest carrier at the airport being American Eagle, the most popular routes at the airport include the nonstop services to Dallas and Houston.

The most popular means of travel in Corpus Christi is arguably by car. With an accessible highway system, and not much by way of public transportation, car rental in Corpus Christi Airport is popular. Fashioned in a classic city block schematic, it is easy to navigate and user friendly. A rental or personal vehicle is easily the best way to tour the city.

From the airport, visitors can access the Crosstown Expressway, which takes motorists all the way to the bayfront. South Padre Island Drive is another popular route to the waterfront, however, contrary to popular thought it does not take motorists out to Padre island. Harbor Bridge can be accessed with budget car rental in Corpus Christi Airport to arrive at Corpus Christi Beach, one of the most visited destinations in the city.

Aside from the coastal beaches and nearby islands, Corpus Christi offers an array of sightseeing including The Art Center located right on Shoreline drive, and The Bayfront, which is just down the street from the Art Center. Also popular is the K Space Contemporary Gallery located in the historic Kress building. All of these facilities can be accessed on the same stretch of road, which can be reached using car rentals in Corpus Christi Airport.

Just south of the downtown area is Cole Park. Although not as prominent as Corpus Christi Beach, Cole Park is also a great place to sunbathe, swim, and enjoy the coastline. The barrier islands off the coast make popular day trips including Padre Island and Mustang Island. These are just a 30 minute trip offshore and offer a variety of activities.
