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

Accepted Answer

If you're 21 and above, you can hire a car in Columbus. Take into account that most rental suppliers will charge young drivers an additional fee, which helps cover the higher damage or accident risk involved.

Question 6

What do you need to rent a car in Columbus?

Question 9

Where can I find a Columbus hire car if I am younger than 25?

Accepted Answer

Age policies are different between hire companies, so be prepared to do a little homework. Found a Columbus supplier that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Terrific! Just take note that a surcharge often applies to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're considering will have all the information you need.

Question 10

Can I drive in Columbus with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't possess a driver's license from the U.S, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, 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 used to hire the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hired cars in the U.S. Are:

Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car hire website before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
Driving limitations: Be sure 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 Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hired car. Please read the details before you book!
