What types of cars can I rent in Columbus?

Affordable, reliable and good on gas, these small cars pack plenty of punch. But Columbus can be explored in almost any type of rental you like. Compacts, SUVs and full-size vehicles are other options to consider.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Columbus?

Most providers impose a young renter fee in addition to the standard rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like mid-size and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to luxury and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Columbus?
You’ll generally require a valid driver’s license and credit card in your name when picking up the keys to your vehicle. You may also need proof of coverage if you’d like to opt out of the company’s insurance policy. These requirements often differ between rental companies, so it’s a good idea to check before you book.
What is the cheapest car rental in Columbus?
Based on prices found over the past seven days, you could’ve slid behind the wheel of your own rental car for just $49 a day. The second lowest daily rate offered in Columbus was $59. 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.

Where can I find a Columbus car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Columbus providers will rent cars to drivers under 25, and others won’t. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so be prepared to do your homework. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some outlets will have a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Columbus?
After carefuly planning your road trip, don’t skimp on your insurance — purchase collision protection while reserving your Columbus car rental with Expedia. There are numerous benefits to this plan, including up to $35,000 in primary coverage for theft, accident damage and vandalism.
