Can I hire a car from George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH)?
Not from George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH). The good news is there's a great selection of options just moments from the terminal. Find your ideal ride with Dollar, Enterprise, Avis, National or Payless.
What happens if I need to cancel my Houston car reservation?
We have good news! You should be given a total refund if you cancel at least six hours ahead of collecting the car. Your confirmation contains details about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid hires qualify for a refund though, so it's a good idea to read through your car's cancellation policy.
What types of cars can I rent in Houston?
Affordability, ease of parking and excellent mileage are among the reasons compact vehicles are the number once choice in Houston. Their smaller size makes them perfect for getting around the city. They're a great fit for solo travellers, couples or budget-conscious motorists. Of course, how you get around is up to you! Go even smaller with an economy or mini, or give yourself more room with an intermediate or a full-size. Need a little luxury? Browse our premium rides.
Where can I go on a road trip from Houston?
There are many exciting adventures to be had in Houston, but head farther afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Hire a set of wheels and you can cruise around the surrounding area at your leisure. Add these fantastic drives to your travel schedule:

  • You'll discover Moody Gardens and many other amazing sights in Galveston. From Houston, it's around 45 miles away.
  • Why not check out the wonders of College Station too? Top attractions in this colourful city include Texas A&M University - College Station. College Station is around 85 miles from Houston.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Houston?
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.
What do you need to rent a car in Houston?
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.
What is the cheapest car hire in Houston?
£34 and £35 were the lowest daily rates for hired cars in Houston within the past seven days. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I hire a car for a month or longer in Houston?
You can. Expedia partners with reputable suppliers that offer long-term rentals for many car classes. Pick up one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every inch of Houston — or beyond!
Where can I find a Houston hire car if I am younger than 25?
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.
Can I drive in Houston with my current driver's license?
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!
