How old do you have to be to rent a car in Houston?
Houston requires drivers to be 21 and over to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and some restrictions. Most companies impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the normal car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like economy and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to premium and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Houston?
Any home company you choose will need these two things — a valid driver’s license and credit card. If you choose to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it’s time to pick up the keys.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Houston?
You can rent a vehicle for a month or longer in Houston, so go ahead and extend your stay! Just enter your trip details into our long-term car rental deals page and book your perfect ride.
Where can I find a Houston car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Houston companies will rent to drivers under 25 and others won’t. Policies differ between suppliers, so you should do your homework. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some outlets will pass on a surcharge to customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
Can I drive in Houston with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the U.S, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., be aware that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car rental. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
