Where can I find a Houston car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies that are found in Houston. They often have different age policies. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, keep in mind that additional costs may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before collecting the vehicle.
Can I drive in Houston with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., be aware that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
