Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Columbus?
The daily price of rental cars in Columbus within the past seven days was as low as CA $76. With your own affordable set of wheels, the sights in and around this destination are well within your reach.
Can I rent a car from John Glenn Columbus Intl. Airport (CMH)?

How do I find the best car rental deals in Columbus with Expedia?
Expedia makes it easy to compare rates, offers and rental companies, and to check customer reviews. Combine your Columbus car rental with hotel or flight bookings and you can make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Columbus?
Rental vehicle rules in Columbus require drivers to be 21 and older. Are you a young driver? A few surcharges and restrictions could apply. Rental providers impose what's known as a young driver surcharge, which is an extra fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions generally apply to the categories of cars available to young motorists as well. Age limits may vary between outlets, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Columbus?
Any rental company you choose will require two things --- a current driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you choose to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.
What is the cheapest car rental in Columbus?
The lowest price for a rental car in Columbus within the past seven days was CA $76 per day. The next best deal was CA $79. 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?
Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and then secure your ideal ride. Whether you're staying put in Columbus or discovering beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an amazing rate.
Where can I find a Columbus car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so be prepared to do a bit of shopping around. Found a Columbus outlet that does rent to drivers under 25? Great news! Just keep in mind that extra charges often apply to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're interested in should have all the details you need.
