Top tips for hiring a car at Houston George Bush Airport

  • A car rental at Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) is ideal for moving about Houston compared to other transportation means. First, you can travel per your schedule without having to wait for buses or taxis. You’ll also have the freedom to move about the city, especially if you’re going to explore multiple areas. Another reason to rent a car at the airport is the possibility of quick travel, whereby a car ride to downtown Houston can take about 25-27min while the bus time can clock close to an hour. You’ll also avert inconveniences stemming from hidden taxi or shuttle fees.
  • Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport has a car rental center onsite that operates daily 24/7, making the process of renting a vehicle simple. The rental car center lies a short 5min shuttle ride from the IAH terminals A, B, C, and E. Note that shuttles leave the terminals every 5min between 7 am and 11 pm and every 10min between 11 pm and 7 am, so don’t worry if you don’t get a ride immediately you exit Arrivals.
  • Houston highways are notorious traffic hotspots that can make it difficult to leave or access Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport, especially when traffic comes to a halt. The I-69 and the I-45 are common routes to take to and from the airport, and they usually experience morning and evening rush hours at around 7-9 am and 4-7 pm. You might want to avoid heading into the airport during morning peak times (to drop off your rental car) or leaving the airport during evening rush hour (after picking your vehicle). It’ll be beneficial to schedule your plane arrival or departures outside the peak-hour times.
  • Like the pick-up process, returning your Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport car rental is a seamless procedure. It generally comprises taking the vehicle back to the pick-up point. From the I-45 or I-69, merge onto John F. Kennedy Boulevard and drive along Will Clayton Parkway. Look out for signs to the Rental Car Center and head to the specific agency parking lot. Head towards the company rental counter, where a staff attendant will take the keys and contract. You can board a shuttle to the airport Arrivals Terminal after completing the return.
  • Book your car hire at Houston George Bush Airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs about hiring a car at Houston George Bush Airport

  • What is the fastest way of getting to the Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport rental car center?

    Taking a shuttle ride from the Arrivals Terminal is the quickest and easiest way to reach Houston Airport’s rental car center. At terminals A, B, C, or E, exit Baggage Claim through doors with Rental Car signs. You’ll find blue and white courtesy buses outside with markings for Rental Car Shuttle. Board one of these buses to the consolidated rental car facility, a ride that’ll last approximately 5min.

  • Which vehicle rental companies at Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport are easiest?

    Besides having on-airport locations for easy car pick-ups, rental companies offer various features that enhance ease of use. For instance, Avis offers a Preferred Service that lets you skip the counters and avoid long lines.

Alamo also has a self-service kiosk that enables renters to pick up rental cars without enduring the long rental counter lines.

  • What type of documents do I need to rent a car at Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport?

    You must submit a driver’s license that should be valid for the entire rental period to be eligible for a car rental at Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Foreign nationals also require their home country driver’s licenses to rent a vehicle, and an International Driving Permit isn’t a requirement to rent a car in Texas.

The BMW was extremely comfortable, but we had a heck of a problem trying to figure out which button to push for various things. The people at the checkout counter, the key distribution and the return were simply a lot of fun. All of them were smiling and laughing when appropriate. That is a good operation! We were very impressed.

I was quoted a price upon reservation. When I arrived to pick up the car I was told the car did not have GPS which I assumed it would have and absolutely needed. The car with GPS cost me more than TWICE as much as the initial quoted price and it was not a category update. I have consistently rented with Sixt for years in Paris, France. You can look it up. GPS was never an issue. To say the least I am extremely disappointed at what I consider as misrepresentation, and will steer away from Sixt in the future.

I had reserved a car ahead of time at least 2-3 weeks prior to my trip! And had paid it for it ahead of time. When we got to the Thrifty rental site, we chose to use the kiosk to sign in since the agents were busy with other customers and thought it would save time. When we checked in the kiosk , at the end of submitting all info we were told it could take several minutes to process our information. At that moment an agent was available and said he could help us but we told him that we had put all info in and we were waiting for the machine to process our information. He said there was nothing he could do to help us. We had to wait. Fortunately we had only to wait only 3-5 minutes. Then we were able to go to another agent who made us go through all the information we had provided at the kiosk! Next we went out to the garage to get our car and thought all was good after a frustrating and lengthy experience at the rental counter. As we were driving out with our car at the exit office our car was scanned and we were told IT WAS NOT RENTABLE!!!! The booth agent then took a marker out and starting writing on the window that car was not rentable and had us back up and drive it back to Thrifty pick up. When we returned to Thrifty pick up, we were told we could not park the car in pickup and had to take it back to drop off! We had not even left rental pick up lot! We parked the car in the pick up lot and had to wait as the pick up agent showed other people to their cars. Finally we were given a car and had no issues leaving the airport. That night was not terribly busy but we had to wait at least an 1hr and 15 min. to leave the airport. I have had way better experiences working with other car rental companies in large airports like Houston and never had to go through this. I will not be using Thrifty again because the service was POOR. The car was clean and comfortable though!

It needs to be explained better on which cars need a major credit card and which ones can be rented with a debit card. I reserved a rental for a trip and when I went to pick it up they denied it because all I had was a debit card. So unfortunately I wasn't able to make my trip. I'm very disappointed in the service that I was given

The drop off location on the contract was not the right place, and when I called customer service to fix the problem, they said that the Houston branch imputed my wrong birthday, so they couldn’t modify my reservation for the correct drop off location. I ended up taking it to Galveston (my original drop off) and they kindly took the rental in, and even offered me a ride to the cruise terminal. I am impressed, and great full for the Galveston branch.

Pros:

The pick-up and drop-off was a smooth as I could imagine. Especially when looking around at how the other providers were operating.

Cons:

I got swindled by the associate checking me in. When choosing refuel options, I was shown a price per gallon that I would pay for them to fill up the tank. They "forgot" to mention that I would be charged for a full tank of gas at that price, regardless of amount of fuel used. Definitely tainted the image I previously had of Enterprise.

This is honestly the easiest best rental car experience I’ve ever had. It was quick to check in/pick up and even easier to drop off. What I really liked was the fact that I got to literally just go pick a car on my own, not be told which car I’m getting. It felt cool to walk down an Isle of cars and be able to get into whichever one I like!

The low price is a trap, they will add them on when you check in. They were friendly when you enter the room, but have you wait there forever, while I was waiting, I saw people complaining about the adding on price, I saw people complaining why no car for them yet, I saw people had trouble returning the car, I had to google what is Easirent, all their reviews very poor, I decided to give up my money I've already paid (no refund 2 hours before checking in), before they rip off, they even had no people to help me while I was waiting there for 40 minutes.

More information would have been better. I was surprised by the $500 deposit. And then I now have to wait 3 to 10 business days before it's returned to me.

The guy grabbing cars was in a rush! I was suppose to have an intermediate SUV, but got a mid-size car. He pulled up and got out, moved on to next costumer. He did not even look over the car

The rental was $29 in your website but I ended up paying $70. The dissatisfaction comes from being falsely misled by your company.

I suppose it’s the future. So you aren’t actually seeing someone in person. The instructor comes on the screen and everything is done virtually. Not bad or good, just very different for those who’ve never experience it.

No airport shuttle. Pick up and drop off was inconvenient. Promised to reimburse for uber to replace shuttle. I submitted receipt but never heard back. Will not recommend to others. Not worth the savings.

AVR Houston is not located at the airport. Trying to make arrangements for pickup was a bit challenging. We had an early morning flight and asked about after hours returns. We were told they had a contract with a local hotel for drop off and the hotel shuttle ran every 15 minutes. We arrived at just after 5:00 am at the hotel. The front desk person was on a shuttle run and informed us that the hotel shuttle only ran every hour and we could not leave the hotel until after 6:00 am. We almost missed our flight.

Pros:

The van I expected was not available the day of pick up. I did receive an email saying my rental is ready for pick-up at 11 a.m. the day before. I was dropped off and never received a call or email saying my van is no longer available. I had to rent a vehicle from a different vendor for triple the price of the van I requested.

Cons:

Communication to your customers. You sent the initial email saying that the my van was available for pick up yet NO ONE bother to notify me when it is no longer available.

Pros:

While I was on my way to pickup the vehicle I called the facility to let them know instead of 5 I am expecting to arrive there at 530pm. I was told by the staff member on phone that they close at 4pm and she was told by her boss not to wait and asked me to come next morning at 8 am if still of interest.

Cons:

I will let other traveller's to note even when the booking is accepted for 5pm doesn't necessarily means the facility will be open

They did not let us rent a car even though we had confirmation through kayak. They only rent to travelers who are flying into IAH. We are waiting for the refund. We were very disappointed and ended up having to go to another rental agency and delayed our trip.

Little far from the airport. When going through a 3rd party instructions should be provided. I had to google the company and figure it out after I already head to the rent a car center and had to head back. They wouldn’t send a pickup until I texted them my id and insurance. Then when I was told about the tolls I opted out when I returned the car he charged me for the daily pass even tho the other person said I didn’t have to. The car it’s self was great the business was not professional

They made the pick up process so complicated and tried to upsell insurance and other extras that I don’t need. I have rented cars at many places. This was the first time they asked to see a full insurance policy I have, even the insurance card with policy # and expiration date was not sufficient for them. They gave me a car with so many damages…

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. This was the absolute worst rental car company I have ever used. Its "office" is not at the rental car hub with all the other companies, but in a long-term parking lot. It took over 30 minutes to get there after you get in the underserviced long-term parking shuttle bus line and waiting to be the last one dropped off after riding around the entire long-term lot. When you finally arrive you enter a filthy shack with only Webcams, tv screens, and an automated lock box holding the keys (no employees on site). One TV was broken from an obviously frustrated prior renter. The biggest kicker is in order to keep the price you booked the car for you must give a $1,000 deposit that will be held for up to 15 business days (i.e. 3 weeks!). Otherwise, you can pay about 40% more than your booked price to only hold $500 for the same amount of time.

The address is wrong on Kayak. Cost me extra Uber to find the company. The car was not equivalent to a Honda CR 5. I have never heard of a car rental with no refunds. 30 minutes after making the reservation I realized it was at the wrong airport in Houston. I called Kayak and York with no refund policy and got no refund. Cost me extra Uber to get to the right airport. Kayak did not make the refund policy clear and did not make the differential between the two airports clear. The new car rental place of business is a mess, nothing more than an empty warehouse. After explaining my dilemma to the people at the place of business the people were unapologetic and rude. I will not rent with Kayak again, I am a stockholder of Expedia, I am sorry I tried your site.

First called several times the phone number to arrange the pickup when I was at the assigned location, no one answered. Then, after several attempts someone answered and said they just closed the shuttle at 6pm, without any notification and knowing I was arriving. Since they were not able to provide me the service, tried to cancel it and the AI bot just mentioned was not possible and then the live representative say they need to verify with the York location what I was reporting and to wait several days for just an answer, extremely poor Customer service, resolution and experience. Will never go ahead and trust a service with Kayak.

Wait time for pick up at the airport was extremely long. Tha rental place had only one man rin pick up and drop off. The rental place is being run from an hotel lobby which looks awkward to me. I had 2 flat tires which made it impossible to move, on calling the rental, they told me to call my insurance company because towing assistance wasn't part of the contract, so, incase you rent from York Car Rental any problem you encounter during the duration of your rental is entirely yours. The usual practice that the rental place will send you another vehicle as replacement is out of it at York. I had to spend additional $320 out of pocket to tow and replace the tires🙁🙁🙁. Even with this experience, I will give kudos to the Driver, who is an amazing guy 👍🤝.

Half is directed at Kayak, and half towards Advantage. Kayak did not send me to Advantage to continue the rental, but instead took me to Expedia, completely unexpectedly. Not sure if these two search engines are now connected? But then for Advantage, when I did receive an email confirmation, again it came wrapped in a poorly formatted email from Advantage. All the instructions were in an unformatted paragraph, and seemed also like spam. It wasn't until I took the rental car shuttle in IAH did I find out that Advantage wasn't located there. Rather than taking the shuttle all the way back and then to passenger parking, I canceled the reservation and booked directly with a competitor. In not of these complaints, I had specifically requested a rental company that was onsite and not off the airport property. As I discovered, ALL companies are off-site in IAH, but Advantage was off-off-site

We waited over 30 minutes for someone to get to the counter. Located away from airport in a sketchy hotel lobby. Car received was smaller than we paid for but “all they had”. Was given a receipt at counter with additional charges separate from what we p as I’d online! Will not rent this way again. Hidden fees. Ended up not being a savings.

A nightmare! I will be filing a formal complaint. I want my money refunded. When I called to inquire about picking up my rental car, the business was closed, nobody answered. It was Sunday at 6pm. Out of frustration, I called a few times and left a message. I asked where my car was. I had no alternative but to rent a car at another car rental. I received a text one hour later from American Car Rental, asking if I received my car, good grief, really? This experience was dreadful and highly unprofessional.
