Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Austin?
Get bang for your travel buck in Austin, with car rental prices within the past seven days starting from as low as a day.
What happens if I need to cancel my Austin car reservation?
Our Customer Service Portal has information about this. In most situations, full refunds are available if a prepaid booking is cancelled at least six hours ahead of the collection time. It's a good idea to scan the home policy to see if there are any exclusions.
What types of cars can I rent in Austin?
Busy city streets and cramped parking spots are no match for an economy car — the most commonly booked home type in Austin. Get behind the wheel of one of these and negotiate traffic effortlessly. Affordable, reliable and with terrific mileage, these small rides pack a punch. But Austin can be explored in almost any type of home you like. Compacts, SUVs and full-size vehicles are among your options.
Why should I rent an Austin car with Expedia?

How do I find the best car rental deals in Austin with Expedia?
Getting the best deal on your Austin rental car is easy with Expedia. Choose your preferred ride, add in a few more details and compare prices from major suppliers. Why not add flights and hotels to your booking? You'll score even bigger savings when you create a holiday package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Austin?
Drivers 21 and over can hit the highway in Austin in a rental car. If you're a young motorist, a daily surcharge will apply. You'll usually have fewer car categories to pick from, such as compact and mid-size, and may also have to take out an all-inclusive insurance rate. Be sure to enter the correct age of the primary driver when booking to find out if any restrictions or extra fees apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Austin?
A current driver's license and a credit card in the same name are essentials. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? If that's the case, you may need proof of your own coverage. Rules may differ between home companies, so read through your policy.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Austin?
Yes, and the wonderful news is companies often offer lower rates the longer your holiday home term. Check out our long-term car rental deals in Austin and cruise off with a serious bargain.
Where can I find an Austin car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between home companies, so you'll have to do a bit of homework. Found an Austin supplier that does rent to under 25s? Awesome! Just be aware that some companies charge extra fees to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're looking at should have all the information you need.
Can I drive in Austin with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Additional requirements for car rentals 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 areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your home. Please read the regulations before you book!
