KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Katy

  • Houston and the surrounding area, including Katy, don't have as much public transport as many other major cities, so booking car hire in Katy can be very useful. Katy is only around 30 minutes west of Houston's city centre, so you can easily visit the city's top attractions while staying in a quieter area. Additionally, you'll be around an hour to 1 h 30 min from natural landmarks, like the Sam Houston National Forest and Lake Livingston State Park. With your own car, you can see everything this area of Texas has to offer at your own pace. If you're staying for a while, you can even consider taking longer road trips to major cities like Austin and Dallas.
  • If you're visiting Katy, you'll likely fly into one of Houston's Airports. At George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), you'll need to take the complimentary shuttle from the terminal to the car hire centre. It takes around 5 minutes and runs 24/7. You'll also need to take a quick shuttle bus for most companies at Houston Hobby Airpot (HOU). Some companies may not have cars at the airport and will offer transportation to their offices in the city. You'll usually return your vehicle to the same location.
  • Toll roads are common throughout Texas, and nearby Houston has 11 of them. However, many toll roads don't have toll booths that let you pay by cash or card, instead, you'll need to have a toll tag. Without one of these, you'll receive a bill later in the mail, which is often more expensive. Check with your Katy car hire provider to see if they'll charge you as you go, or add your toll charges to your final fee. Whether you're driving on toll roads or normal roads, if you find yourself approaching a stopped emergency vehicle with its lights flashing, you are required to either move over a lane or slow to 20 mph while passing.
  • Rush hour gets busy in Houston, so avoid driving into the city between 07:00 and 09:00 and out of the city between 16:00 and 19:00. In particular, avoid the busy Galleria Mall area. If you're driving outside the cities, you'll want to keep an eye out for animals on the road, particularly between dawn and dusk. You may not associate Texas with snow, and while it's unlikely to snow in south Texas, if you plan on heading up North or into areas at higher elevations during winter, you may want winter or all-season tyres.
  • Book your car hire in Katy at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard hire cars in Katy are around 26% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What is the speed limit in Katy?

    On rural interstate roads, the limit varies between 75 mph, 80 mph and 85 mph. On urban interstates, the limit is generally 70 mph, and in built-up areas, you'll usually need to stick to 30 mph, though this may drop to 25 mph or even 15 mph in school zones. Remember, if you get fined for speeding, you'll usually also need to pay a fee to the company you've booked car hire in Katy with.

  • Where are the best places to park in Katy?

Most major buildings including the Katy International Sports Complex and Katy Mills Mall will have their own car parks with plenty of space.

On-street parking in Central Houston is free from 18:00 to 07:00.

Pros:

NO !

Cons:

I made the reservation for a car , I was assured it was there , and if I had'nt called to make a time change for pickup I would not have known there was no vehicle available . I passed on two sure oppurtunitys and that's what I got ! I was also told that someone would call me back and that never happened ! I drove to Enterprise location the next morning and got zero results . I then called Enterprise Corporate office and they wanted to make me a reservation for the following Monday ! The lady there assured me a district manager would contact me and that never happened ! Todaybis 3/10/21 and I still have not heard a word from Enterprise !!!To Enterprise : I will walk before I rent from you again !

Cons:

Perhaps informing car rental policy Prior to making reservation. A major credit card is needed. Without one, a debit card will not suffice. I was told when picking the car up, credit card with debit symbol is not accepted. No help either as you're spoken to as if you are a thief. No kindness given looking at you as well tone of voice so direct you’re spoken to with disrespect. The worst experience ever renting a car!

My experience with the Katy Budget office was outstanding. They were professional, friendly and able to accommodate my request for earlier pick up. The Jeep Compass was clean and drove beautifully.

The manager at the Fry road location in Katy Texas had poor customer service skills. She was very aggressive and rude during our vehicle pick up. Customer service is important to me so I will not be renting from budget again.

we had an appointment to pick up our car at 4:00. We could not get our car because the line was too long. We would have missed a life or death appointment. We had to take a cab.
