Large vehicles are very common in Houston, so visitors to the city may want to consider renting an SUV or another large vehicle because otherwise they may find their view of the road obscured by the other large vehicles. The roads are constructed with large cars in mind, so small parking spots and narrow lanes are not a concern.
Drivers in Houston will see a wide range of road speeds from 20 - 30 mph in residential areas to 30 - 55 mph on larger city roads. For highways in Houston, the speed limit is almost always 70 mph, though occasionally speed limits of 75 and 80 mph will be seen on the larger highways.
Parking garages are your best bet for finding affordable parking in downtown Houston, especially when an event such as a Houston Rockets game is going on.

Cons:
Only one person left to check in over 12 customers. Waited almost an hour to get checked in. Car was not clean but was the only one available. I was told the car wash was broken. Disappointed because I was attending a funeral with family.4.0 Mediocre
Apr. 2021
Pros:
Unfortunately I didn't have a good experience with any of this process at the Hobby Payless/AVIS location. I hate leaving bad reviews however each part of the process was full of problems and deceiving tactics.Cons:
They had no vehicles ready to pick up that were in the size that I had a confirmation number for. They use this excuse to force you into having to pay to upgrade to another vehicle. I was asked to either wait (an unknown amount of time) or pay 20.00 a day more for a truck. Then after you agree to the new price they tell you they will email you all the paperwork. So you leave with no proof of cost and absolutely no paperwork. I logged in to my credit card account later that day and noticed I was charged 540.00. My original rental was confirmed as a full size car at 310.00 and that included the taxes and fees. So if you add the 20.00 each day you will get 60.00+ a few dollars for additional taxes. So let's add 20.00 for those. So it should have been 390.00. The drop off was easy and I spoke to the lady checking me back in and asked her if I would be charged an additional hour because I arrived at 11:09 and I was supposed to be back at 11:00. She said absolutely not. She knew I had to wait on 2 cars to figure out how to return there car and make their way into the lot. They is why I was 9 minutes late. She even said that she would make sure I wouldn't be charged for the additional hour. Guess what..... I got charged for 31.00 additional dollars for the hour.27 locations in Houston
