To avoid any surprises at the rental desk, 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 possess a driver's license from the U.S, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., know that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and 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 slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
