KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Westerville
- Having a Westerville car rental has many benefits over traveling with public transport. You can explore Westerville at your own pace, as you are not tied to routes or schedules as with public transport. You can go off the beaten path or make impromptu stops at attractions. Rental cars offer comfort; they have air conditioning, heating, and entertainment systems. Traveling with children is easier as transfers are not involved. Moreover, a rental saves your vacation time as you don't have to wait for buses or trains to arrive. Be sure to include Inniswood Metro Gardens and Good Vibes Winery in your travel itinerary.
- When going to Westerville, you will fly into John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH). The car rental kiosks are in the Main Terminal building in the Arrivals Area. Once you have signed the rental agreement and been given the keys to your rental car, you will proceed to the multi-story parking facility attached to the terminal building. Your car will be parked on the ground floor. Only drivers over 21 will be given access to rental cars, and you must have your passport, valid driver's license, and major credit card.

Cons:
My reservation time was 3pm for a mini van. I did not get my SUV until 5:30pm. Apparently reservation means nothing to Avis I not only got the wrong kind of vehicle I got it 2 1/2 hrs late! As for Kayak the contract was not very clear on the LIMITED millage and apparently do not really partner with Avis on the insurance, which is also not clear when booking!10.0 Wonderful
