Can I rent a car from Lambert-St. Louis Intl. Airport (STL)?
Take your pick of a great range of car rental outlets not far from the airport. Enterprise, Dollar and Budget are popular with travelers. Avis and Alamo are some other reliable options.
What happens if I need to cancel my Columbia car reservation?

  • You’ll feel the rhythm of a city bustling with life the second you pull into Springfield. Some 100 mi from Columbia, it has a ton of amazing places to discover, like Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum.
  • Decatur, around 120 mi away, will also show you a memorable time. Wondering what there is to see? Millikin University is our first pick.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Columbia with Expedia?
Nabbing an amazing deal on your Columbia rental car is a cinch with Expedia. Choose your preferred car class, add some details and compare prices from leading brands. Why not add flights and hotels to your booking? You’ll get access to even more savings when you combine your bookings into a package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Columbia?
Drivers with a valid license aged 21 and over can rent a car in Columbia. While some companies may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21, a fee will be added. Find out what age range the young renter fee applies to, and the associated cost, before locking in your ride. Companies also restrict the types of cars available to young drivers. Higher limits are in place for luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Columbia?
Any rental company you choose will require two things — a current driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you’d like to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it’s time to pick up your ride.
What is the cheapest car rental in Columbia?
The two cheapest daily rates offered in Columbia within the past seven days were $47 and $49. Now that’s what we’d call a fantastic deal! These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Columbia?
Yes, and the awesome news is providers often offer lower rates the longer your rental term. Scroll through our long-term car rental deals in Columbia and cruise off with an amazing bargain.
Where can I find a Columbia car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Columbia often depends on the rental supplier you choose. Some places apply a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, whereas others may not have any extra fees for this age bracket. Be sure to go through the terms and conditions of your preferred car rental dealer to escape any surprise charges when picking up your keys.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Columbia?
After carefuly planning your vacation, don’t skimp on safety — purchase collision protection while booking your Columbia rental vehicle with Expedia. There are plenty of advantages to this plan, including up to $35,000 in primary coverage for collision damage, theft and vandalism. Plus, with no deductible and 24/7 emergency assistance, you can breathe a little easier should a mishap occur.
