Tour this city in one of these and you’ll be able to park in tight spaces and easily dart around busy streets. A compact is ideal for city escapes or short road trips. But they’re not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy ride or stretch out in an intermediate, a full-size or premium — there’s a style of vehicle to suit you!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Columbia?
In Columbia, the rule is generally 21 and over. Most outlets will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can vary based on the home location. Home agreements for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as luxury cars, and require comprehensive insurance to be taken out. Don’t forget to read the fine print before booking your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Columbia?
Renting a car in Columbia is easy as pie. Usually, all you’ll need is a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name. After selecting your perfect set of wheels, look up the terms and conditions to ensure there are no extra requirements prior to the pickup date.

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 holiday home providers you’re considering. If you’re under 25 years of age, be mindful that some will charge additional fees. It’s best to know about this in advance so you can have the funds ready. Every holiday home car company has its own rules for young drivers, so it’d be wise to do your research.
Can I drive in Columbia with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the United States, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you’ll also need to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home. Please read the details before you book!
