Top tips for renting 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.

May 2021
Pros:
Pickup & drop off was relatively painless. Neither rep demonstrated a welcoming attitude. All business. Pickup rep was eating while helping the customer ahead of me at pickup.Cons:
A quick review of operating functions would have been helpful. I am a senior citizen not used to the new electronic wizardry. My wife & I spent a few minutes doing that at pickup and later again with headlight & windshield wiper settings. Picking up a vehicle and being thrust into traffic with rainy weather is not my idea of fun.10.0 Wonderful
May 2021
Pros:
Everything went very smoothly. I was shocked that I didn't stand in any lines to talk to someone.2.0 Poor
May 2021
Pros:
Nothing- see belowCons:
This was the worst rental car experience of my life. I got to the airport and was told that my reservation was cancelled with no warning! Apparently Alamo had sold out all their cars. This was a major inconvenience for me, as I ultimately had to spend $270 getting to and from my destination, instead of the $120 I had paid. If I had also known this before arriving I could have also tried making different arrangements, but also found out that everyone else was sold out by the time I got there too. This was a massive inconvenience and I will never use Alamo again, and it made me seriously question my use of Kayak as well10.0 Wonderful

Pros:

We were deceived we arrived and the car that we ordered it was not there and they tried to give us a very dirty and scratched car when we asked to replace it with another one we were told that this is the only pickup that is where we lost half an hour of time to cancel the order and change the company that provides rental cars, fortunately, the other company was in the same airport room but our experience showed that this is very not professional and looks like a customer's deception.Enterprise Rent-A-Car

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.6.0 Okay

The Payless counter was closed at the IAH rental car center and they were directing Payless customers to the AVIS desk (This, mind you, was the Thursday before the Easter holiday). It took 45 minutes to an hour to get to a customer service rep. Then, they were out of the size car we ordered so they upgraded us to a small SUV. Which we thought would be good until we got in and it smelled like cigarette smoke. Not a great experience.6.8 Okay

I stood in line for over two hours to get to the counter. The guy at the counter said that they didn’t use third party apps so he couldn’t honor the price on my reservation. When I called the next day to extend my rental one more day, the lady said that she couldn’t do anything over the phone and that I would have to go to a thrifty counter and do it there. The only thrifty counter that I found was in the airport and that was another hour and a half wait to be able to extend my rental. I will NEVER use Thrifty, Dollar or Hertz again.Avis

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:

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:

Sep 2020
Cons:
Getting ahold of someone is nearly impossible. I was given no instructions for after hours drop-off. I shouldn't have assumed. I had to listen to an automated phone message 4 times to get the address to the hotel correct. This hotel happens to loan out their shuttle bus for pick ups and drop offs, DURING BUSINESS HOURS ONLY! Dropping off the vehicle at any other time, with the hotel they tell you to use, will cost you an extra $20 for them to retrieve it. They are like 3 miles away from this hotel. They are inexpensive so I guess I can't complain too much but almost every other rental agency has provisions for getting you to and from the airport regardless of the time as a part doing business with them. Apart from this, I guess they're okay.Right Cars
