How old do you have to be to rent a car in Columbus?
In Columbus, the requirement is 21 years of age and over. Most companies will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can vary depending on the home location. Home agreements for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as luxury cars, and require inclusive insurance to be taken out. It's always a good idea to read the fine print carefully before choosing your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Columbus?

Where can I find a Columbus car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Columbus providers will rent cars to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Policies differ between suppliers, so be prepared to do some research. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some outlets will apply a surcharge to customers between 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
Can I drive in Columbus with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car rental company before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental car. Please read the details before booking!
