Where can I find a Houston hire car if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to hire a vehicle in Houston, we recommend reading the terms and conditions of the car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be surcharges if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To avoid any nasty surprises at the hire counter, make sure you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Houston with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the United States, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car in the U.S. 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 forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for hire cars 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 places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with a hired car. Please read the regulations before you book!
