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

Some places have a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years old, but others may not have any additional costs for this age group.

Can I drive in Columbus with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the U.S, you may be required to get 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 current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before you book 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 hiring a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your hired car. Please read the details before booking!
