Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some outlets will apply a surcharge to young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Houston with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, then you might need to apply for 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 identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car 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 must be at least 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or go off-roading with your car rental. Please read the regulations before you book!
