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.
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. Budget has a Fastbreak Service in place for you to avoid the long lines on counters when picking up or dropping off your car rental at Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Alamo also has a self-service kiosk that enables renters to pick up rental cars without enduring the long rental counter lines.
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. Depending on the rental agency, you’ll have to carry along your debit or credit card for deposit requirements and credit identification.
On average a rental car at Houston George Bush Airport costs ₪255 per day.

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

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

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.One location in Houston George Bush Intcntl Airport

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.One location in Houston George Bush Intcntl Airport

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.One location in Houston George Bush Intcntl Airport
