How old do you have to be to rent a car in Downtown Houston?
Downtown Houston requires drivers to be 21 and above to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and stricter home conditions. Most companies impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the usual home rate. This covers the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and economy) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Downtown Houston?
You'll need to present your driver's license and a credit card at the home counter. Prior to pickup, check with your chosen home company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of insurance.

Where can I find a Downtown Houston car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies that operate in Downtown Houston. They often have different age policies. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, be aware that additional costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before picking up your vehicle.
Can I drive in Downtown Houston with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., 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 you used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
