KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Friendswood

  • Friendswood car rentals provide convenience and flexibility, allowing visitors to explore the city and its surroundings at their own pace. A rental car offers greater mobility and access to remote or less frequented attractions than alternative public transit. Worthwhile destinations that become more accessible with a vehicle include Galveston Island with its beautiful beaches, the Space Center Houston, and the Kemah Boardwalk, offering an enjoyable experience for tourists and locals alike.
  • At Houston Hobby Airport (HOU), travelers can rent a car on-site from more than ten car rental companies. The rental car offices are conveniently located in the Consolidated Rental Car Facility, accessible by a free shuttle from the airport terminals. Also, off-site rental companies offer pick-up services from the airport. Still, before arriving, travelers must make prior arrangements to ensure a smooth and complimentary ride to their rental locations. This flexibility provides visitors with various rental choices and easy access to transportation for their Houston journey.
  • Friendswood offers a reasonably safe driving environment, focusing on adherence to traffic regulations and consideration for others on the road. Driving is generally calm and relaxed, with most drivers respecting traffic rules. While occasional impatience or aggression may occur, they are not prevalent. The city has a moderate presence of bicycles and pedestrians, making it essential for drivers to remain vigilant and cautious. While trucks can be spotted, cars and SUVs are the most common vehicles on the road.

During these periods, major roads like FM 528, FM 518, and FM 2351 are most affected by heavy traffic. Similarly, some seasons, like summer and winter, may bring increased tourist activity or adverse weather conditions, leading to potentially challenging driving conditions in the city.

Did not get care because they changed the terms of pickup and wanted to downgrade to a smaller car. They do not take debit, which is the closest thing to cash. Wil not even call them. Staff is not courteous and act like you are a bother. Look elsewhere, everyone else is just as affordable.
