Your Guide to CFD Airport Car Rentals

Bryan Coulter Field Airport (CFD) is a public general aviation airport. Rental car operations are compact, with counters generally located in the main terminal building or within a short walking distance. Follow the signs to the baggage claim area where you will find the customer service counters for our on-site partners. For some smaller operators, phone-in shuttle services may be available directly from the front curb.

Main Passenger Terminal

All rental car counters and ready lots are located directly inside the main terminal, adjacent to the baggage claim area. Simply exit the secure area, walk straight to the welcoming lobby, and you will see the rental service counters. No shuttle is required; the vehicles are parked just outside the terminal exit doors.

¿Qué Necesito Saber Sobre el Repostaje de un Coche de Alquiler en Egipto?

En Egipto, la mayoría de las gasolineras ('benzina') son de servicio completo. Pague en efectivo (EGP), ya que no siempre se aceptan tarjetas. Verifique el tipo de combustible de su coche (normalmente 92 o 95). La mayoría de los alquileres en el aeropuerto HBE tienen una política de 'lleno a lleno', así que devuelva el tanque lleno para evitar cargos adicionales.

Bryan Texas Car Rental FAQs

Everything You Need to Know Before Hitting the Road in Bryan College Station

Can I rent a car in Bryan with just my US driver's license, or do I need an International Driving Permit?

If you're a US driver, your valid home-state license is all you need at Bryan counters (Enterprise, Hertz, Budget at Easterwood Airport or University Drive). International visitors must carry both their original license and an International Driving Permit (IDP) from AAA, since Texas does not recognize foreign-only licenses. Most agencies also require a minimum age of 21, with drivers under 25 paying a young-driver surcharge of roughly $20–$30 per day.

What are the speed limits and toll road rules around Bryan and College Station?

On Highways 6, 21, 47, and 30 around Bryan, posted limits run 65–75 mph; city streets drop to 30–45 mph and school zones to 20 mph during flashing-light hours. There are no toll roads in Brazos County, so you can skip the toll tag entirely—just watch for TxDOT speed cameras and Highway Patrol, especially on SH 6 where tickets often exceed $200. Always signal and stop fully at stop signs; Texas does allow right-on-red after a full stop unless posted otherwise.

How much should I budget for gas, and what fuel type do rental cars in Bryan use?

Most Bryan rental fleets run on regular unleaded 87 octane, though SUVs and trucks often need 89 mid-grade. Stations are plentiful along Texas Avenue and Earl Rudder Freeway, with prices around $2.80–$3.20 per gallon in 2025. Expect a full tank (12–15 gallons) to cost $35–$48. Bring the car back at the same level you picked it up, or you'll be charged refueling fees of $8–$10 per gallon plus a service fee.

Is parking free downtown, and what happens if I get a ticket in Bryan?

Downtown Bryan and Northgate near Texas A&M offer plenty of free public lots and 2-hour street parking, but read every sign—some spots near bars and meters require payment or app payment via ParkMobile after 5 pm. Campus lots at A&M require a permit, and towing is aggressive (fees $150+). If you do get cited, you can pay online at the City of Bryan or Texas A&M portal; rental companies typically add a $30–$50 administrative surcharge on top of the fine.

What insurance coverage do I really need when renting in Bryan, Texas?

Texas law does not require you to buy the rental company's coverage, but Texas is a fault state with high minimum liability ($30,000/$60,000), so the state minimum alone leaves you exposed. Strongly consider the full Collision Damage Waiver ($20–$30/day) to avoid being billed for scrape repairs, plus supplemental liability ($10–$15/day) if you don't carry personal auto insurance. Before paying, check whether your credit card (Chase Sapphire, Amex Platinum) already includes primary CDW—the savings can reach $50 per day.

Are there any seasonal driving hazards in Bryan, like ice, flooding, or hurricanes?

Summers are brutal—temperatures hit 95–105°F, so let the A/C run and check tire pressure monthly since heat over-inflates them. Spring (March–May) brings severe thunderstorms and flash flooding on low-water crossings along Highway 21 and the Navasota River—never drive past a 'Road Closed' barricade. Winter ice events are rare but shut down the city for days, so watch forecasts in January. Hurricane season (June–November) rarely hits Bryan directly, but heavy rain and tornado warnings are common—keep your gas tank above half.
