Houston Car Rental for Drivers Who Still Want a Manual
Most rental counters cannot guarantee the exact car - or transmission - you will receive. Third Pedal Rentals offers a manual-only Houston-area fleet for drivers who want to choose the vehicle, understand what is included, and book it directly through Turo.
Drive something worth remembering?
A rental car does not have to be an anonymous appliance. Whether you need an efficient hatchback, a turbocharged hot hatch, or a practical manual SUV, Third Pedal Rentals gives Houston drivers access to vehicles that are increasingly difficult to find at traditional rental companies.
Every vehicle in the current fleet has a manual transmission. Guests should already be comfortable operating a clutch and driving a stick shift safely before booking.

Third Pedal Rentals handles the parking charge; the airport delivery price, if any, is shown during Turo checkout.
Delivery may also be available in Katy, Tomball, Sugar Land, Humble, and other Houston-area locations. Availability, distance limits, and pricing depend on the selected vehicle and trip details shown on Turo.
The Third Pedal Advantage
Every trip includes practical equipment selected to make an unfamiliar car easier to use: a phone mount, charging cable, three-port charger, 12V adapter, sunshade, and Houston radio guide. SiriusXM is also available in select equipped vehicles.
