What happens if I need to cancel my Houston car reservation?
We appreciate that things change at the last minute. That’s why a large number of bookings allow for a total refund if you cancel a minimum of six hours before collecting the car. Your home policy should contain all the specifics you need. If you can’t see the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is available 24/7.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Houston?
You’ll need to be 21 and over to sit in the driver’s seat of a rental car in Houston. Bear in mind that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car classes, such as economy and compact. Higher age limits usually apply for larger vehicles like premium SUVs. Many providers will also charge an additional fee for young renters. Read through the rules before booking and factor any surcharge into your travel budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Houston?
Be prepared to present your driver’s license and a credit card when you get to the home counter. Prior to pickup, check with your home supplier whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Houston?
Expedia makes it a breeze to pick up a long-term car rental in Houston. Simply click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and explore your possibilities.
Where can I find a Houston car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look into the age policy of the Houston holiday home providers you’re considering. If you’re under 25 be mindful that some will charge additional costs. It’s better to know about this ahead of time so you can have the funds ready. Each holiday home car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
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 required, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must also 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’ll need to be 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you slide 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 Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental car. Please read the details before booking!
