What happens if I need to cancel my Houston car reservation?
We've all been faced with times when even our best-laid plans get upended. That's why we give your money back on the majority of prepaid bookings if cancelled at least six hours in advance of the pickup time. Remember to double-check your cancellation policy — sometimes it's not available. Found nothing there? Our Customer Service Portal has more useful information.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Houston?
Drivers need to be at least 21. But there are some age-related restrictions to keep in mind before you reserve your Houston wheels.

The precise surcharge, and which ages it applies to, differs between outlets. Take a few moments to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Houston?
Your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? Then you may also need proof of your own coverage. Rules can differ between rental suppliers, so read your policy thoroughly.

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.
