Where can I find a Houston car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Houston companies will rent to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won’t. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do your homework. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some outlets will apply a surcharge to customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
Can I drive in Houston with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the U.S, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., note that you’ll also need to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent 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 renting from before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car rental. Please read the details before you book!
