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 $77. With your own affordable set of wheels, the attractions in and around this destination are easily within your reach.
Can I rent a car from Dane County Regional Airport (MSN)?

What happens if I need to cancel my Columbus car reservation?
No problems! If you can cancel your booking at least six hours before pickup, you may qualify for all of your money back. It's a good idea to scan the cancellation policy as there are some exclusions. Head to our Customer Service Portal for more info.
What types of cars can I rent in Columbus?
Keep it simple with an economy, style it up in a premium ride or go for something in between, like an intermediate. But it's hard to beat a compact car — the number one choice in Columbus. They're a snap to handle and park, fuel-efficient and a wise idea if you're road-tripping around bustling cities. A step up from economy, you can expect slightly more room and comfort at a price that won't break the bank.
Where can I go on a road trip from Columbus?
When you've checked out all of the great sights in Columbus, there's plenty more to explore in the region. Grab the keys to a rental car, toss your luggage in the trunk and hit the open road. We've come up with some road trips we think you'll enjoy:

  • Make your way to Chicago for an excellent sightseeing adventure. Approximately 193 kilometres from Columbus, it's home to numerous inspiring sights like Wrigley Field.
  • Next stop? It has to be Appleton, which is around 113 kilometres away. Hearthstone Historic House Museum is one local draw card you won't want to miss.
  • Indiana Dunes National Park is around 241 kilometres from Columbus and is one of the region's most spectacular nature spots. Stretch your legs and enjoy the fresh air here.

Why should I rent a Columbus car with Expedia?
Expedia is the place to go to book a set of wheels. With suppliers in Columbus to choose from, we work hard to get you amazing deals.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Columbus with Expedia?
It's easy to track down an amazing deal with Expedia. Just choose your preferred ride, select your dates and pickup and drop-off points, and browse offers from all the top rental brands. Save even more when you bundle your Columbus car rental with hotel or flight bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Columbus?
Drivers 21 and over can go road-tripping around Columbus in a rental car. If you're a young renter, a daily surcharge applies. You'll usually have fewer car categories to pick from, such as compact and mid-size, and may also have to take out inclusive insurance. Always enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to find out if any surcharges or restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Columbus?
You'll generally require a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when collecting the keys to your car. You may also need your own proof of coverage if you choose to opt out of the company's insurance policy. Requirements are likely to differ between suppliers, so it's wise to check before you book.
What is the cheapest car rental in Columbus?
The lowest rate for a car rental in Columbus within the past seven days was just CA $77 per day. The next best deal on offer 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?
Whether you're planning to hang around Columbus or explore what's beyond, you can reserve a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip information and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll help you find fantastic long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Columbus car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so be prepared to do a bit of research. Managed to find a Columbus outlet that does rent to drivers under 25? Terrific news! Just keep in mind that some companies charge additional fees to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're considering will have all the information you need.
