The youngest age you can rent a vehicle in Houston is 21. A young driver surcharge generally applies, so check before you book and factor in any extra costs. There could also be restrictions on the types of vehicles available to young drivers. For example, some companies will only hire out economy, compact and medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Rules may be different between providers, so be sure to read the fine print carefully.

Two things — a valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Car hire companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you choose to opt out. We recommend checking your policy terms and conditions to avoid any hassles.

You’ll need to check the age policy of the Houston rental providers you’re considering. If you’re under 25 years of age, some companies will charge extra fees. It’s ideal to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can budget accordingly. Each car hire company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so it’d be wise to do your research.

If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the U.S, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the car hire process. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

• Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car hire company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
• Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your hire vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
