Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Houston?
Motoring around Houston doesn’t have to break the bank, with daily car rental prices starting at just within the past seven days.
What happens if I need to cancel my Houston car reservation?
We’ve all been faced with times when plans change. That’s why we offer your money back on many prepaid bookings if you notify us at least six hours before collecting the car. Don’t forget to double-check the policy — sometimes it’s not included. Can’t find the details there? Our Customer Service Portal has more useful information.
What types of cars can I rent in Houston?
Cost-effective, zippy and great on mileage, it’s no wonder compact vehicles are the most sought-after rental category in Houston. Drive around this city in one of these and you’ll be able to fit into tight parking spaces and easily get around busy streets. A compact is perfect for city escapes or short road trips. But they’re not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy ride or bigger with an intermediate, a full-size or premium — there’s a style of vehicle to suit you!

Everyone knows that Houston is one of the top getaways in British Columbia. But you’ll also find plenty of other terrific spots to explore when you book a vehicle and head out on the open road. Here are some ideas to get your escape off to a perfect start:

  • Home to attractions and activities galore, Hazelton is approximately 70 mi from Houston. First stop on the itinerary? Make a beeline for Ksan Historical Village and Museum, one of this city’s highlights.
  • Another city that’s a hit with travelers is Smithers, around 35 mi away. Smithers Par 3 & RV is just one of the many reasons why people keep coming back to this place.
  • No trip is complete without a wander around Metlakatla Wilderness Trail. This renowned nature spot is roughly 150 mi from Houston. Breathe in the fresh air and relax!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Houston?
Rental car rules in Houston require drivers to be at least 21. Are you a young driver? Some restrictions and surcharges could apply. Most rental providers impose what is known as a young driver surcharge, which is an additional fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions generally apply to the categories of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may differ between companies, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Houston?
Be prepared to present your driver’s license and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your rental supplier whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.

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 rental providers you’re considering. If you’re under 25 years of age, some companies will charge extra costs. It’s better to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so be sure to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Houston?
A comprehensive insurance plan is a wise choice for your Houston escape. That’s why we suggest opting in to collision protection while reserving your rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may require a minimum level of liability insurance. It’s possible that this is included in your rental cost or your own auto insurance, so check what you’re covered for and if you need it.
