Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Columbia car reservation?
There are always times when plans change. That's why we give your money back on most prepaid rentals if cancelled six hours in advance of the scheduled collection time. Remember to double-check the rental policy — sometimes it's not offered. Can't find the details there? Our Customer Service Portal has more information.
What types of cars can I rent in Columbia?
Ease of parking, affordability and great mileage are just some of the reasons compact vehicles are the preference in Columbia. Their smaller size makes them ideal for city driving. They're a good match for solo travellers, couples or budget-conscious motorists. Of course, how you cruise around is up to you! Go even smaller with an economy or mini, or give yourself more space with a full-size or an intermediate. In need of some luxury? You'll love our premium options.
Where can I go on a road trip from Columbia?
There are lots of things to see and do in Columbia, but head further afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Grab a set of wheels and you can cruise around the surrounding region at your own pace. Add these awesome places to your travel plan:

  • Head off to Nashville for an excellent sightseeing adventure. About 64 kilometres from Columbia, it has many inspiring attractions like Grand Ole Opry.
  • Next stop? Make it Bowling Green, which is around 161 kilometres away. National Corvette Museum is one local highlight you really shouldn't miss.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Columbia?
Drivers aged 21 and above can hit the road in Columbia in a rental vehicle. If you're a young motorist, a daily surcharge applies. You'll generally have fewer car categories to pick from, such as economy and mid-size, and may also have to purchase an all-inclusive insurance rate. Always enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to find out if any extra fees or restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Columbia?
While rules may differ between car rental outlets in Columbia, the essentials are your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. You don't need to take out auto insurance with your rental provider. However, proof of your own coverage may be required.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Columbia?
Yes, and you'll find your perfect wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Just enter your trip information and we'll list terrific options from a range of reputable companies.
Where can I find a Columbia car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Columbia rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, be mindful that some will charge extra fees. It's good to know about this in advance so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
