Frequently asked questions

Our Customer Service Portal has information about this. In almost all cases, total refunds are provided if a booking is cancelled a minimum of six hours prior to the collection time. Be sure to read your rental agreement to see if there are any exemptions.
What types of cars can I rent in Houston?
Mini, economy, full-size, premium ... Whatever you prefer! However, compact models are the most popular in Houston. If you're looking for something small and affordable, but not too small, this rental car category is the perfect choice. Navigating bustling streets will be a cinch in one of these. Compact cars are a little roomier than economy models and are suited to families on a budget, couples or solo travellers.

There's lots on offer in Houston, but head further afield and you'll find even more magic. Arrange a set of wheels and you can discover the surrounding area at your own pace. Add these awesome drives to your to-do list:

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Houston?
Rental vehicle rules in Houston require drivers to be 21 and older. Are you a young driver? Surcharges and restrictions may apply. Rental suppliers impose what is known as a young driver surcharge, which is an extra fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions usually apply to the types of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may differ between companies, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Houston?
The main requirements are your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you prefer to opt out. Make sure you check with your supplier to avoid any hassles.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Houston?
You can, and the awesome news is companies often offer lower rates the longer your rental term. Browse our long-term car rental deals in Houston and drive off with a serious bargain.
Where can I find a Houston car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so be prepared to do a little homework. Managed to find a Houston supplier that does rent to under 25s? Awesome! Just keep in mind that a surcharge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're considering should have all the information you need.
