Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Houston?
Within the past seven days in Houston, you could have driven away in a rental for as low as $27 per day.
What happens if I need to cancel my Houston car reservation?
Browse over the policy to be sure, but nearly all prepaid reservations are eligible for a full refund if you notify us a minimum of six hours before collecting the car. There are some exclusions though. Your confirmation will have more information, or just jump onto our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Houston?
Get behind the wheel of a compact car in Houston and you’ll be in fine company. The most in-demand type of rental car, these rides are economical, good on gas and a breeze to park. With a compact car, you’ll easily handle the bustling city streets. Of course, you can always think big. Browse our range of larger rental models including mid-size, full-size and premium. However you like to roll, we’ll have your perfect ride.
Where can I go on a road trip from Houston?
With your own wheels, adventuring around the surrounding areas is a walk in the park. Houston is a great place to start, but there’s so much more to enjoy in the region. Grab the keys to a rental, fling your bags in the trunk and take a peek at these other inspiring spots:

  • Home to attractions galore, Edinburgh is about 55 mi from Houston. First up on the itinerary? Head straight for Edinburgh Castle, one of the city’s biggest highlights.
  • Dundee, around 75 mi away, will also show you a memorable time. Need some sightseeing inspiration? Discovery Point is our first pick.
  • Escape the busy city at Duthie Park Winter Gardens. Approximately 130 mi from Houston, it’s a great place to get your fill of nature.

Why should I rent a Houston car with Expedia?
You’ll find savings for the smart traveler on Expedia. Whether you’re looking for something that’ll fit the whole crew or just you, browse the deals from the car rental companies in Houston.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Houston with Expedia?
Whatever type of wheels you want, Expedia will help you find the best deal. Simply compare offers from quality rental providers and book the option that suits you. Love to hit the road with even more in your wallet? Bundle your Houston car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Houston?
Drivers aged 21 and above can hit the highway in Houston in a rental vehicle. If you’re a young driver, a daily surcharge will apply. You’ll usually have fewer car categories to pick from, such as compact and mid-size, and may also have to purchase comprehensive insurance. Always enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to find out if any restrictions apply to you.
What do you need to rent a car in Houston?
Most of the time, all you’ll need is a driver’s license and credit card in your name when collecting the keys to your vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be required if you’d prefer to opt out of the company’s insurance policy. Rules may differ between rental companies, so remember to check while booking.
What side of the road do you drive on in Houston?
Unlike the States, people in Houston drive on the left. Having the steering wheel and controls like indicators on the opposite side can also take a bit of getting used to. Spend some time familiarizing yourself with the vehicle and its quirks before driving off.
What is the cheapest car rental in Houston?
With car rental rates starting from as low as $27 and $30 per day in Houston within the past seven days, you’ll be speeding off with your own fantastic deal before you know it. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Houston?
You can, and the good news is suppliers often offer lower rates the longer you rent. Browse our long-term car rental deals in Houston and score an incredible bargain.
Where can I find a Houston car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so you’ll have to do a little shopping around. Found a Houston outlet that does rent to drivers under 25? That’s great! Just take note that an extra charge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you’re considering will have all the information you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Houston?
It’s a good idea to have collision protection to safeguard your Houston rental car against theft, accident damage and vandalism. And with Expedia, you can easily add this insurance to your vehicle during the booking process. Providing up to $35,000 in primary coverage, it also offers 24/7 emergency help and no deductible if you need to make a claim. Change of plans? If you cancel your policy before your scheduled pick-up time, you’ll receive a complete refund.
