Where can I find a Houston car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to rent a car in Houston, it'd be wise to check the terms and conditions of the car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. Surcharges may apply if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any surprise fees and charges at the rental counter, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
Can I drive in Houston with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, 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 required for you to drive in the U.S., be aware that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. 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 regulations, and with the car rental company before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with your rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
