Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Columbus?
The daily price of rental cars in Columbus within the past seven days was as low as $44. With your own affordable set of wheels, the sights in and around this destination are well within your reach.
Can I rent a car from John Glenn Columbus Intl. Airport (CMH)?
Touch down at John Glenn Columbus Intl. Airport (CMH) and then head to Hertz or Enterprise, both a short distance away. You'll be exploring Columbus in your rental before you know it.
What happens if I need to cancel my Columbus car reservation?
Canceling a prepaid rental with six hours notice should allow for a full refund. But this is not always guaranteed. It's a good idea to check your booking details and cancellation policy. Still stuck for answers? Jump onto our Customer Service Portal.
Where can I go on a road trip from Columbus?
Columbus is full of adventures, but don't limit yourself to just the one place. Grab a set of wheels and hit the open road to discover what else awaits in the surrounding area. Here are some great options we've come up with:

  • You'll find Great American Ball Park and loads more amazing attractions in Cincinnati. From Columbus, it's roughly 100 miles away.
  • Why not check out everything on offer in Akron too? Popular attractions to see here include Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens. Akron is around 110 miles from Columbus.
  • Make your way to Geneva State Park to discover some local nature. Pack a picnic to enjoy or just recharge your batteries in the fresh air. From Columbus, it's 170 miles away.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Columbus with Expedia?
Expedia makes it easy to compare rates, offers and rental companies, and to check customer reviews. Combine your Columbus car rental with hotel or flight bookings and you can make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Columbus?
Rental vehicle rules in Columbus require drivers to be 21 and older. Are you a young driver? A few surcharges and restrictions could apply. Rental providers impose what's known as a young driver surcharge, which is an extra fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions generally apply to the categories of cars available to young motorists as well. Age limits may vary between outlets, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Columbus?
Any rental company you choose will require two things — a current driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you choose to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.
What is the cheapest car rental in Columbus?
The lowest price for a rental car in Columbus within the past seven days was $44 per day. The next best deal was $53. 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 Columbus?
Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and then secure your ideal ride. Whether you're staying put in Columbus or discovering beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an amazing rate.
Where can I find a Columbus car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so be prepared to do a bit of shopping around. Found a Columbus outlet that does rent to drivers under 25? Great news! Just keep in mind that extra charges often apply to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're interested in should have all the details you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Columbus?
After carefuly planning your escape, don't skimp on safety — choose collision protection while reserving your Columbus car rental with Expedia. There are loads of benefits to this plan, including up to $35,000 in primary coverage for theft, accident damage and vandalism. Plus, with a zero-dollar deductible and 24/7 emergency support, you'll be able to breathe a little easier if you find yourself in a pickle.
