Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Houston?
Within the past seven days in Houston, you could have driven away in a home for as low as AU$102 per day.
Can I rent a car from Tupelo Regional Airport (TUP)?
You can rent a set of wheels from Hertz, which is just a short commute from Tupelo Regional Airport (TUP).
What happens if I need to cancel my Houston car reservation?
We appreciate that things change at the last minute. That's why a large number of bookings allow for a total refund if you cancel a minimum of six hours before collecting the car. Your home policy should contain all the specifics you need. If you can't see the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is available 24/7.
What types of cars can I rent in Houston?
Small in size but big on perks, economy vehicles are the number one pick in Houston. They're a cinch to handle and park, which is ideal if you'll be doing mostly city driving. And with terrific mileage, these reliable wheels will have you touring around on the cheap. Prefer a larger car? Browse our mid-size, full-size or premium vehicles.
Where can I go on a road trip from Houston?
Book yourself some wheels, collect the keys and get ready to explore the endless attractions of Houston. But with tons of things to see in the surrounding areas, don't let your journey stop there! Set your navigation system to some of the other awesome places in the region:

  • Boasting attractions galore, Memphis is approximately 177 kilometres from Houston. First stop of the day? Head on over to Graceland, one of the city's biggest highlights.
  • Around 153 kilometres away, Tuscaloosa is another location worth adding to your travel itinerary. Be sure to check out University of Alabama during your stay.
  • Get away from the hustle and bustle of the city at Birmingham Botanical Gardens. Approximately 209 kilometres from Houston, it's a gorgeous place to hang out in nature.

Why should I rent a Houston car with Expedia?
If you want to rent a set of wheels in Houston, there's no better place than Expedia. Our member exclusive offers, discounts and rewards programme will help you score a bargain. And with home suppliers to take your pick of, there's plenty of choice. Eager to save more? Combine your bookings into a holiday package.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Houston with Expedia?
Scoring an amazing deal on your Houston rental car is a breeze with Expedia. Choose your preferred car class, add in a few more details and compare the offers across popular suppliers. Why not add flights and hotels to your booking? You'll score even bigger savings when you combine your bookings into a package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Houston?
You'll need to be 21 and over to sit in the driver's seat of a rental car in Houston. Bear in mind that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car classes, such as economy and compact. Higher age limits usually apply for larger vehicles like premium SUVs. Many providers will also charge an additional fee for young renters. Read through the rules before booking and factor any surcharge into your travel budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Houston?
Be prepared to present your driver's license and a credit card when you get to the home counter. Prior to pickup, check with your home supplier whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Houston?
Expedia makes it a breeze to pick up a long-term car rental in Houston. Simply click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and explore your possibilities.
Where can I find a Houston car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Houston holiday home providers you're considering. If you're under 25  be mindful that some will charge additional costs. It's better to know about this ahead of time so you can have the funds ready. Each holiday home car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
Can I drive in Houston with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental car. Please read the details before booking!
