Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Central Ohio car reservation?
Depending on your rental policy, you may be eligible for a refund. Many bookings offer a total refund if you let us know a minimum of six hours before picking up the car. Still have some queries? If you can’t find the answer in your itinerary, our Customer Service Portal is always accessible.
What types of cars can I rent in Central Ohio?
Inexpensive, easy to drive and with excellent mileage, it’s not surprising compact cars are the most sought-after rental in Central Ohio. Drive around this city in one of these and you’ll be able to slide into tight parking spaces and easily get around busy streets. A compact is perfect for city breaks or short road trips. But they’re not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy model or stretch out in an intermediate, a full-size or premium — the choice is yours!
How do I find the best car rental deals in Central Ohio with Expedia?
Expedia makes it quick and easy to compare prices, offers and providers, and to check reviews. Bundle your Central Ohio car rental with flight or hotel bookings and you’ll save even more.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Central Ohio?
Central Ohio requires drivers to be 21 and over to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and some choice restrictions. Most providers impose a young renter fee on top of the normal car rental rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like economy and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Central Ohio?
Any rental company you select will require two things — your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you’d like to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Central Ohio?
You can, and the good news is companies often offer lower rates the longer your rental term. Scroll through our long-term car rental deals in Central Ohio and drive off with an incredible bargain.
Where can I find a Central Ohio car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Central Ohio providers will rent to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won’t. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you’ll have to do your homework. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some outlets will have a surcharge for young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
