KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Tulsa
- Oklahoma, Tulsa included, is a state that is built for cars. Tulsa itself features very limited public transportation options, so if you want to make the most out of your time there, a hire car is the best choice. There really is no other way to get around town, especially at night and on weekends when the public bus service is limited.
- Excited to hit the road upon landing in Tulsa? If you are like many travelers, step one of your trip is to pick up your hire vehicle. For travelers with flights landing at Tulsa International Airport, you will find the airport’s hire car counters located in the lobby of the Arrivals Hall.
- Tulsa is a beautiful city and Oklahoma is a gorgeous state, most particularly during the wintertime. However, if you plan on visiting during the winter months, then be extra prepared to drive in potentially heavy snow. Winter comes on hard in Oklahoma and a storm can blown in quickly. When driving in inclement weather like a snow storm, drive in a lower gear as your car will have an easier time with it.
- Drivers can expect rush hour traffic in Tulsa to pick up in the morning around 7:00 a.m. and to last until 9:00 a.m., while in the afternoon rush hour usually starts around 4:00 p.m. and finishes up around 6:00 or 7:00 p.m. during the week. Broken Arrow Expressway is the main road to look out for during rush hour, as its short merging lanes can often become congested during peak traffic hours.
- Book your car hire in Tulsa at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Economy hire cars in Tulsa are around 55% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about hiring a car in Tulsa
What type of car is recommended for driving in Tulsa?
Tulsa’s streets are large and wide and are perfect for accommodating all size of vehicles. Whether you end up renting a sedan or an SUV, either one will have an easy time navigating the city’s wide roads. Parking both streetside and in lots will also be a breeze for all vehicles -- even the largest of trucks -- so truly any car will be suitable for your time in Tulsa.
What’s the speed limit in Tulsa?
Residential and urban areas in Tulsa often feature a starting speed limit of 25 mph. After that, limits bump up to 35 to 50 mph on major roads, while on highways and interstates the speed limit typically ranges from 65 to 70 mph, depending on the size of the highway.
Where are the best places to park in Tulsa?
If you plan on visiting the downtown area and the central business district, parking garages and lots are going to be your go-to parking option. Another plus of parking garages is that they are fairly cheap, usually costing just a couple dollars per hour. Outside of those central areas, streetside parking will be more than sufficient.

Cons:
Car was not ready. They tried to charge for things in a very shifty way. They did not disclose information that was important to the rental. They were emphatic that there was to be no smoking of any kind in the car and gave us a car that reeked of smoke - and then said that it was the cleaner they used to sanitize due to COVID. RIGHT!!! They charged us (prepaid) for a full tank of gas upon return, said we had a full tank of gas when they gave us the keys, but the car was only half full. When we pointed all these things out, they became defensive, dismissive and resorted to lies.2.0 Poor

Pros:
Nothing. Car was paid for but no car was available on the same day I was planning on getting it. Terrible experience. And to put the icing on the cake, I've been charged for the car and insurance that Hertz did not deliver.Cons:
When I pay for a car and insurance in advance, I expect there to be a car for me. Is that so unreasonable. I WILL NEVER USE HERTZ AGAINNational

Ami, Jun 2021
Pros:
I liked the option with Payless to pick up the car on airport property vs. needing to shuttle to another location. Returning the car was simple and easy, which was appreciated.Cons:
The staff was friendly at pick up, but we had to wait in line in the garage to get the keys for much longer than one would expect. A parking garage is not the safest of places to try to wrangle a toddler who has been stuck on a plane for several hours. When we got to the car, the vehicle wasn’t as clean inside or out as one would reasonably expect either. Despite paying more for a mid-size SUV to comfortably fit our standard sized car seat that easily fits in a similar mid-size SUV, it took quite a bit of effort to get the seat installed due to it being a tight fit and then not the most comfortable ride for the driver who had to scoot the seat closer to the steering wheel than preferred.10.0 Wonderful

Cons:
Car was dirty inside and out, had 40k miles on it, oil change came on mid trip, outside was all scratched up on all sides, no attendee or exit gate to report scratches, you just exit the airport and then you are on the road, the most we have e we had to pay for such a poorly maintained rental car10.0 Wonderful

Anonymous, Jan 2020
Cons:
The staff was helpful, but the Avis's policy on accepting payment is nonsensical and downright idiotic. They would not accept my debit card. I literally use this card EVERYWHERE -- travel, retail, etc. -- both offline and online for much larger and much smaller purchases, and I've never had an issue. Then, Avis says they can't use that to rent the car to me? Are you kidding me? I'm a Preferred Plus member and have rented cars from you many times. You know you can trust me to pay, and you know who I am. (I literally could've walked over to an airline ticket counter, used my debit card to buy a refundable ticket, returned to Avis to rent a car [since that's the only way they said they'd accept my debit], and then returned to the airline ticket counter for a refund. That makes NO sense.) AFTER THAT FIASCO AND ARGUING WITH THE STAFF TO NO AVAIL, I tried to see if they could use my American Express card that's in the system (since I use it regularly for work). They needed a code, but I didn't have the card (it was in my home in another state). I got on the phone with American Express, and they were willing to give a 1-time code (they said they do this regularly with companies when their clients don't have their cards). Unfortunately, Avis didn't accept that offer either. GRRRRRRR. I ended up having to get a local family member to swipe a credit card of theirs. So frustrating!7.6 Good

$250 for an economy car we used for 2 hrs from Tulsa to Joplin seems pretty steep! High price for convenience. The process was very smooth, from online rental to pickup to return.10.0 Wonderful
