Avis Car Rental at Houston Airport

The George Bush Intercontinental Airport is found in Houston, in the United States of America, and is known by its IATA code of IAH. It is a large airport, handling around forty million passengers every year, and is a hub for the airline company United Airlines. The airport is well equipped with numerous facilities, including car hire companies, such as Avis Houston. Avis is one of the leading brands of car rental agencies in the United States, as well as around the world, and strives to provide their customers with the most competitive car rental rates and car hire services of the highest quality.

The car rental companies of George Bush Intercontinental are not within the terminal buildings, but at a new consolidated rental car facility on the east side of John F. Kennedy Boulevard. A common bus system is used by all the car hire companies for the transport of their passengers who are arriving at the airport, and these shuttle buses can easily be found by following the ‘Rental Car Shuttle’ signposts from any of the five terminal buildings. The buses are white and maroon in colour, and will take you to the car rental facility in less than five minutes. Disabled passengers are able to use the bus service as well, and passengers are able to transport their luggage items. The Houston Rental Car facility opened in August 2003, and is a two level facility on a 140 acre site. The car rental companies are all found on the same level, and there is only a short walk to the rented vehicles which are parked nearby in an undercover parking area. Avis Houston Airport is open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

At the majority of Avis locations in America the primary renter will need to be at least 25 years of age, however, younger renters are also permitted to hire a vehicle, provided they are 21 years of age or older. An additional $27.00 per-day underage surcharge will be applicable for any person between the ages of 21 and 24, and although many vehicles can be hired, a few categories will be unavailable to younger renters. These categories include Luxury cars, Minivans, 12-Passenger Vans, Specialty cars, Fullsize SUVs and Premium SUVs. The underage charge is also applicable to all young drivers registered on the rental contract.

Besides a valid drivers license that has been issued either in the United States or Canada, the primary renter will require a major credit card for car hire from Avis. The cards accepted at the Houston Avis Car Rental facility include American Express, AT & T, Diner’s Club Int’l, GE Capital, JCB, Discover, PHH, Sears, Visa and Mastercard. An Avis Charge Card may also be used. At the start of the rental period, person’s over the age of 25 can use a debit card with the Mastercard or Visa logo. A hold will be placed on the account for the estimated rental charges due at the end of the rental period. The final payment can be made by debit or credit card, by renters of all ages. All cars are recommended to be reserved in advance from Avis. Online Avis car rental reservations are often considered to be most convenient. An early booking is especially necessary if Avis hand controls for a disabled driver are required from the Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Hand control equipment is free of charge, and is available on certain automatic vehicles.

The airport car rental companies usually allow one way hires, which enable the customer to return their vehicle to a different car rental location. Avis one way hire services may have additional charges, but could be more convenient for certain travel itineraries. From Houston Airport, one way hires are recommended to be reserved in advance as well. Along with your vehicle from Avis, child seats and satellite navigation systems can be hired. Child seats come in various sizes, ranging from those smaller and more suitable for infants and toddlers to those which are large enough for young children of up to seven years of age. In North America, all persons in a vehicle are required to wear seatbelts. A GPS system is very useful for any driver who is unfamiliar with the roads of Houston, or for travellers who will be driving longer distances.

Cheaper car rentals from Avis Houston Airport can be found in the Subcompact, Compact and Intermediate categories, with cars that are similar to the Hyundai Accent, Ford Focus and Chevrolet Cruze, as larger cars such as the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Impala are usually hired with more expensive rental rates. SUVs and Minivans could be more pricy as well, but are sometimes ideal for Houston travellers. Avis’ range of SUVs include the Chevrolet Traverse, Ford Escape, Chevrolet Tahoe, Ford Edge and Chevrolet Suburban, and the Dodge Grand Caravan is a Minivan for seven passengers. Avis’ largest vehicle is the Ford E350, with room for twelve passengers. A wide selection of vehicles are found in the Specialty category as well. There are convertibles such as the Chevrolet Corvette Convertible and Chevrolet Camaro Convertible, special SUVs such as the Lincoln Navigator and BMW X3 and even more stylish cars such as the Mitsubishi Eclipse Coupe, Ford Mustang Coupe and BMW 528.
