How old do you have to be to hire a car in Columbus?
Columbus requires drivers to be at least 21 before they can hire a car. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and stricter rental conditions. Many companies impose a young renter fee in addition to the hire car rate. This helps cover the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to luxury and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Columbus?
While terms and conditions may differ between hire car outlets in Columbus, generally the essentials are your driver's license and a credit card in your name. You don't need to take out auto insurance with your rental provider. However, proof of your own coverage may be required.
What is the cheapest car hire in Columbus?
£38 and £39 were the two lowest daily rates for hired cars in Columbus within the past seven days. 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 hire a car for a month or longer in Columbus?
You can hire a car for a month or even longer in Columbus, so go ahead and extend your hard-earned holiday! Just enter your trip dates into our long-term car hire deals page and secure your ideal ride.
Where can I find a Columbus hire car if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to book a rental in Columbus, it'd be wise to check the terms and conditions of the various hire companies you're interested in. Some may hire to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be additional costs if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To avoid any surprise fees and charges at the hire desk, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
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 apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the car hire process. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the car hire company before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hired vehicle. Please read the details before you book!
