Before you can take the wheel in Houghton, you'll need a valid driver's licence and a credit card that matches the name on your licence.

Requirements may vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you select a rental company.
What side of the road do you drive on in Houghton?

Where can I find a Houghton car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Houghton providers will rent to drivers under 25, and others won't. Policies differ between suppliers, so you'll want to do some research. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some outlets will apply a surcharge to young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
