How old do you have to be to rent a car in Houston?
Houston rules state drivers must be at least 21 to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and tighter home conditions. Most providers impose a young renter fee in addition to the normal car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Houston?
While terms and conditions can differ between car rental outlets, the essentials are a current driver’s license and a credit card. You don’t need to take out insurance with your home company. However, proof of alternative coverage may be necessary.

Where can I find a Houston car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a car under the age of 25 in Houston often depends on the home supplier you select. Some businesses have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, however others may not apply any additional costs for this age group. It’d be smart to go through the terms and conditions of your preferred home company to escape any surprise charges at the home desk.
Can I drive in Houston with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the U.S, then you might need to get 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., know that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you 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 on ferries or go off-roading with your rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
