How old do you have to be to rent a car in Houston?

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.

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!
