The city is a regional hub with gas stations, hotels, and restaurants along the main streets.

Caicó with its famous São João festival is about 85 km to the south via RN-288 - an easy day trip with a rental car.

Are there any sights near Currais Novos to visit with a rental car? Yes, Açude Gargalheiras (a popular water sports reservoir) is just 5 km from downtown, and Parque Estadual Mata da Pimenteira is about 15 km away. Are the roads in the Serridó region suitable for a standard rental car?
