Generally, the age limit for renting a car in Houston is 21—the same as it is across the rest of the United States of America. If you are under 25, you might also need to pay a surcharge. Be sure to read over the rental agreement to figure out what the total is before you reserve your rental.

Almost all countries require the driver to have insurance. You might be able to purchase additional insurance through rental car supplier for your trip, if you are concerned your insurance won't cover your rental during your trip. Otherwise, as a United States citizen, you can also purchase Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout. Although many of the major card issuers, like Visa or American Express, give some insurance, there are usually restrictions. For instance, they may not cover your rental car if you reserve a larger or luxury vehicle. Check the policy before you decide.

Most suppliers give you a choice of fuel policies. Here is a list of the typical policies.

We usually advise that you choose the full-to-full policy. This policy simply means you bring your rental back to the full, and you're all set.

Unlimited mileage is a good choice for anyone who don't want to worry about watching the odometer their whole trip. Just make sure that your policy really provides unlimited miles. Check the details on mileage limits before you book.

Be sure you check out a few items prior to leaving the rental lot. You should take time to:

• Inspect the vehicle and determine if there is any damage or scrapes. If you notice any, write it down on your paperwork
• Inspect the trunk to see if the spare is properly inflated and the jack and lung wrench are there
• Get familiar with the controls of your car. Adjust the mirrors and seats, and note how to turn on the lights and windshield wipers
• Get comfortable working the entertainment and GPS (if available). You don't want any unneeded distractions in a new city
