Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Houston car reservation?
Don't stress. You should be eligible for a complete refund if you cancel at least six hours before pickup. Your confirmation contains details about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all bookings will receive a refund though, so you may want to check the car's cancellation policy.
What types of cars can I rent in Houston?
Whatever meets your needs! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you're with the family, or scale up to a premium if it's sophistication you're after. Or, choose an economy model — the most popular rental in Houston. Affordable and with excellent mileage, they're perfect for singles, couples or anyone else who doesn't require a whole lot of room. They're especially suited to city exploring. Getting into narrow parking spots will be a snap!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Houston?
You'll need to be 21 and over to pick up the keys to a rental vehicle in Houston. Be aware that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car categories, such as compact, economy and medium size. Higher age limits usually apply for specialty and luxury vehicles. Additionally, most outlets will charge a fee for young renters. Read the rules carefully before clicking book and factor any extra fees into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Houston?
Renting a car in Houston is simple. Normally, all that's required is a valid driver's licence and a credit card. After selecting your ride, look up the terms and conditions to make sure there are no additional requirements prior to pickup.
What side of the road do you drive on in Houston?
You'll be driving on the left-hand side of the road in Houston. This means that the driver's seat and other controls are also on the opposite side. Allow for some extra time to familiarise yourself with your new car before setting out.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Houston?
Yes, so you won't need to rebook a rental vehicle mid-holiday. Click through to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and lock in a ride that's all yours for however long you want.
Where can I find a Houston car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do a bit of homework. Found a Houston outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? That's great! Just bear in mind that extra charges often apply to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're interested in should have all the details you need.
