2. Leave Houston Behind

   Pull away from the rental location and follow the turn-by-turn GPS directions. As you travel farther from the city, busy streets give way to open landscapes, wooded stretches, rural communities, and scenic Texas backroads.

3. Enjoy the Open-Air Drive

   Settle into the Slingshot, turn up the music, and enjoy the route at your own pace. There is no tour guide or caravan to follow, but drivers must remain on the programmed route, obey all traffic laws, and keep track of the four-hour rental period.
