Car Rentals in Houston, USA

With your own vehicle, exploring the surrounding areas is a piece of cake. Houston is a wonderful place to start, but there's lots more to see in the region. Grab the keys to a hire car, throw your luggage in the trunk and take a peek at these other amazing spots:

• Roughly 50 miles from Houston, Birmingham is a must-do for many road-trippers. With top sights like Sloss Furnaces, there's no shortage of things to see and do here.
• About 50 miles away, Tuscaloosa is another city worth adding to your travel itinerary. Check out University of Alabama while you're there.
• After a long stint on the road, treat yourself to a dose of fresh air at Chewacla State Park. It's approximately 150 miles from Houston.

If you don't have a license issued in the U.S, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hired a car in the U.S. Are:

• Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the hire car company before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
• Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your hired vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
