How old do you have to be to rent a hotel in Texas?|168089

Im about to get married. I_m 18 and I_ll be 19 by then and I want to rent a hotel. We_re really not calling it a honey moon cause we want to spent more time out of the hotel and on the streets then in it. We really don_t want to use our vacation days from work at home. I heard that you need a credit card. Is this true for ALL hotels? I have ID. Can any one help?

Well, first of all, if you do not have a credit card then you will have to pay each night upfront, in cash and a bit more for potential extras like the phone, movies,etc.. If you do not charge anything to the room they will refund that amount. No one is required by law to have a credit card (thank goodness) so no hotel can require a credit card.
I_ve never reserved in advance without a credit card so I_m not sure how or if that is do-able.
As far as age, the chains might have regulations to follow but the unique hotels will have more flexibility.

You absolutely have to have a credit card for all _incidentals_. I rented rooms in Texas when I was your age, so age won_t be a problem for you.

If you have a hotel in mind, call them ahead of time and find out what their policy is about payment... many just want the security of a credit card for payment, and it doesn_t necessary have to be your card.

The 4 or 5 Star ones usually require a CC. Hotels like Days Inn allow you to stay under 21. I stayed @ one when I was 20: you just need a photo ID. The bigger _ nicer ones like Hampton Inn, Hilton, Sheraton _ Marriott require a CC .

My question is why are you getting married @ 19. That is way too young. You_ll be divorced within a few years. It won_tt last. I waited until I was 21 _ the jerkhead STILL cheated on me.

I_m pretty sure that nowadays you must have a credit card to rent a hotel room.

I did it at age 18 without a credit card, but that was back in the winter of 1978. Times have changed.

Oh, and congratulations on the upcoming wedding!

Most hotels in Texas DO require a credit card. The minimum age is 18. In Texas the owner does have the right to refuse service to anyone.

Your best bet would be to find a place you like and email them about their policy_s.

18 is the minimum age and you don_t have to have a credit card or debit card.

some hotels charge a 200 deposit for everyone under 25 so watch out for that

ALTEST 19 AND UP!
