Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Houston?
Within the past seven days, the lowest daily price for a cheap home in Houston was AU$68.
What happens if I need to cancel my Houston car reservation?
You should get a complete refund on your prepaid booking if you notify us at least six hours prior to collecting the car. Look through the home agreement for the finer details. Our Customer Service Portal may have what you need too.
What types of cars can I rent in Houston?
Not too small and not too big, compact vehicles are the number one choice for many travellers to Houston. Featuring excellent gas mileage and easy parking and manoeuvrability, they’re perfect for navigating the city. A compact car has slightly more room than an economy vehicle, so you can travel around in a bit more comfort. Want something bigger? Browse our standard, intermediate and full-size options.
Where can I go on a road trip from Houston?
It’s no secret that Houston is one of the leading holiday destinations in Johnstone. But you’ll also find lots of other terrific places to explore when you lock in some wheels and hit the open road. We’ve pulled together a few ideas to get your journey off to a superb start:

  • Roughly 88 kilometres from Houston, Edinburgh is a must-do for many visitors. With leading attractions such as Edinburgh Castle, you’ll have no shortage of places to visit here.
  • Another destination popular with travellers is Dundee, around 121 kilometres away. Discovery Point is just one of the many reasons people love coming here.
  • No trip is complete without a wander around Duthie Park Winter Gardens. This famous nature spot is approximately 209 kilometres from Houston. Get out into the fresh air and relax!

Why should I rent a Houston car with Expedia?

How do I find the best car rental deals in Houston with Expedia?
Expedia makes it easy to compare prices, offers and providers, and to check customer ratings. Bundle your Houston car rental with flight or hotel bookings and you’ll make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Houston?
Drivers aged 21 and above can hit the highway in Houston in a home vehicle. If you’re a young driver, a daily surcharge will apply. You’ll usually have fewer car categories to pick from, such as compact and mid-size, and may also have to purchase comprehensive insurance. Always enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to find out if any restrictions apply to you.
What do you need to rent a car in Houston?
Most of the time, all you’ll need is a driver’s license and credit card in your name when collecting the keys to your vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be required if you’d prefer to opt out of the company’s insurance policy. Rules may differ between home companies, so remember to check while booking.
What side of the road do you drive on in Houston?
Unlike the States, people in Houston drive on the left. Having the steering wheel and controls like indicators on the opposite side can also take a bit of getting used to. Spend some time familiarizing yourself with the vehicle and its quirks before driving off.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Houston?
You can, and the good news is suppliers often offer lower rates the longer you rent. Browse our long-term car rental deals in Houston and score an incredible bargain.
Where can I find a Houston car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between holiday home suppliers, so you’ll have to do a little shopping around. Found a Houston outlet that does rent to drivers under 25? That’s great! Just take note that an extra charge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each holiday home car you’re considering will have all the information you need.
