Tips for Columbus car rental in 2025
Car rental prices in Columbus
In the past week, the daily price of rental cars in Columbus was as low as $57*. Prices can vary based on season, car rental type, rental period, and more – but with Expedia, you can find great deals on cheap rental cars in Columbus regardless. After you've picked up your rental car in Columbus, you can either head north-east to Atlanta, Georgia's capital and most populous city, or travel north-west to Birmingham, Alabama, nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. Alternatively, historic Montgomery, Alabama, is less than two hours drive away and is known for its arts scene, museums, and Civil Rights legacy. It may also be possible to get a one-way car rental for these destinations as well, which can lead to gas savings and a cheaper price for your road trip.

In general, you'll tend to find better deals in the winter, when fewer are traveling, compared to the summer months when students from Columbus State University and other residents are going on trips and renting cars.

Advice on car rental in Columbus as an American
To rent a car in Columbus, you'll need to have a valid driver's license and photo ID. If you're wondering where you can rent a car without a credit card, it's best to get in touch with the rental company beforehand. For most, it's not possible to just rent a car with a debit card. Also, be aware that the minimum age to rent a vehicle in the US is 21 years old. Most car companies charge additional fees to drivers under the age of 25, which can raise car rental prices for younger drivers.
