Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some places will apply a surcharge to young customers between 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
Can I drive in Columbus with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the U.S, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., be aware that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
