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

You'll generally be restricted to a few car categories, such as compact and mid-size, and may also be required to buy inclusive insurance. Always enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to learn if any restrictions or surcharges apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Columbus?
A current driver's license and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? In that case, you're also likely to need proof of your own coverage. Requirements may differ between rental companies, so read through your policy.

Can I hire a car for a month or longer in Columbus?

Where can I find a Columbus hire car if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental companies operating in Columbus. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, keep in mind that additional fees may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before booking your hire car.
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 might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car. 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 forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hired a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car hire website before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your hire car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
