Houston Rental Cars

Houston is the fourth-largest US city by population and the largest city in Texas. Rent a car in Houston, and you can go everywhere, from Tomball to Sugarland to Clear Lake. Visitors can enjoy various parks, an eclectic museum district, a high-quality zoo and aquarium, and more.

Houston has multiple toll roads and uses a system of highways with one-way frontage roads that run alongside the main roads. You can use frontage roads to avoid tolls, but the tollways offer the most direct routes. Avis Houston offers an e-toll system for your convenience while traveling to and from other Avis locations in Texas

Find Avis Car Rental at Houston Travel Hubs

If you’re out and about in other parts of town, you can still find convenient Avis counters for rental cars in Houston to help you get where you want to go. Some of our most popular locations are:

Does Avis Offer Car Rentals at the Airport in Houston?

Houston Travel FAQs

Houston is famous as the home of the NASA Space Center. “Houston” was actually the first word spoken on the moon by astronauts as they communicated with NASA. The city is also well-known for its museums, like the Houston Museum of Natural Science and the Museum of Fine Arts. You can access any of these Houston attractions easily in your rental car.

Somewhat surprisingly, Houston is known for its Louisiana Creole cuisine, thanks to Houston’s “Frenchtown” and large Creole population. Houston also has a reputation for its Vietnamese cuisine. And, of course, Houston is known for its Tex-Mex and barbeque, which are classic Texan staples throughout the state.

We recommend staying near Downtown Houston because you’ll be closer to many popular tourist attractions and restaurants during your stay. You’ll find luxury apartment buildings and friendly hotels near downtown to make your time relaxing. Hop in your rental car and explore Houston neighborhoods like Montrose, an area just outside downtown known for its fun, bohemian eccentricity. 

Rush hour in Houston lasts from 7 AM to 9 AM on weekday mornings and from 4 PM to 7 PM on weekday evenings. During events and holidays, traffic can be even worse. Highway 290 in particular can get crowded during rush hour, so do what you can to avoid it. (source)
