How do I find the best car rental deals in Columbus with Expedia?
Getting an awesome deal on your Columbus rental car is a cinch with Expedia. Choose your preferred car class, add some details and compare the offers across top suppliers. Why not add flights and hotels to your booking? You'll get access to even bigger savings when you combine your bookings into a package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Columbus?
If you're 21 and over, you can rent a car in Columbus. Keep in mind that rental suppliers will charge young drivers an extra fee, which helps cover the higher accident or damage risk involved. Also, young motorists usually aren't permitted to rent luxury or specialty vehicles. Check the terms and conditions before booking to avoid any surprises at pickup.
What do you need to rent a car in Columbus?
Two things — a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of alternative coverage if you opt out. Make sure you check your policy terms and conditions to avoid any problems.
What is the cheapest car rental in Columbus?
The two lowest daily prices on offer in Columbus within the past seven days were AU$99 and AU$105. Now that's what we'd call an awesome deal! 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?
Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and then choose your perfect ride. Whether you're basing yourself in Columbus or exploring beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an awesome rate.
Where can I find a Columbus car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies that are in Columbus. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25, be aware that additional fees may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before booking your rental.
Can I drive in Columbus with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the United States, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, know that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:
- Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
- 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, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with a rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
