Getting around Tulsa

The local airport is Tulsa International Airport (TUL), which is 15 minutes from downtown Tulsa. Use our Expedia tool below to find flight, hotel, and rental car options.

Kevin says it’s a good idea to rent a car when visiting Tulsa because public transportation is not that robust. For the best rental car offers, visit Avis, Budget, or Hertz.

Uber and Lyft are excellent ways to get around. The city also operates an on-demand “micro-transit” ridesharing service that’s less than $2 per person. This option is a great way to save money and avoid renting a car.

When you only need a car for a couple of hours, you can rent by the hour with Zipcar. Join now to get $25 loaded into your account.
