Top Tips for Renting an SUV in Columbus

  • Driving Columbus SUV rentals is both a fun and expedient way to explore this vibrant city that is both quaint and modern, nestled in virtually the center of Ohio. If you are in this capital city on a business trip, you and your colleagues can ride around together in comfort with plenty of room for briefcases, purses, and presentation materials. If you are in town to visit family, you and your relatives can go everywhere together, relaxed and comfortable with plenty of room for whatever you pick up along the way. Columbus SUV rentals make it possible to get the most out of your trip to central Ohio.
  • If you want to pick up your SUV rental in Columbus but drop it off in a different city or even in a different state, several car rental agencies in this city can arrange a one-way rental for you. When you are booking your reservation, make sure you indicate that you want a one-way rental and where you want to drop off the vehicle. Keep in mind that this type of rental usually costs more than a rental where you drop off the Columbus SUV rental at the same place you picked it up.
  • For those wanting to drive north in Columbus SUV rentals into Canada, make sure you mention this to the car rental agency when you arrive to collect your vehicle. They will have to make sure you have the proper insurance and issue you a cost-free Canadian non-resident card. This card is proof of insurance that you must show to officials at the border. At the border, you must also show your valid US driver's license and your rental car contract. You and anyone else in the Columbus SUV rental must also show border officials your passport, Nexus card, or passport card.
  • When you are flying into Ohio to visit Columbus, you will most likely be landing at the capital city's John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH). At CMH, follow the purple signs to arrivals, where you exit to board a complimentary shuttle to the on-site rental car center. Agencies at the John Glenn Airport that include Columbus SUV rentals among their vehicles are Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, National, and Thrifty.

FAQs About Renting an SUV in Columbus

  • Do I have to purchase insurance for my Columbus SUV rental?

    When you arrive to pick up the Columbus SUV rental that you have reserved, you can, at that time, purchase car rental agency insurance.

The Nissan Sentra I was given ran very smoothly for my trip, and I enjoyed most of my experience. However, when I returned from my trip, I went home first to drop off my luggage. After about 7 minutes of the car being off, I started it again, and suddenly all the warning lights were on. Brake light, engine light, oil light, and the steering wheel locked. None of these lights had come on at any point during the previous drives. When I called Budget to explain why I was not going to return on time, instead of telling me at once that there was an option to have the car towed since it could not be driven, their representative had me extend my reservation another day. They claimed this would cost less than returning the car late. I made efforts to fix the car and ascertain the issues its lights indicated, but nothing I did seemed to help or change the car's condition. Since I was parked on the side of the road, I put the car in reverse to get it into my driveway for safety, at which point the car would only go forwards. I immediately parked it, called Budget back, and explained in greater detail that I needed them to pick up the car. At that point, they did send a tow truck within an hour and a half. I have little experience renting cars, but friends have told me that the first Budget representative's actions were wrong, and I concur. I believe that I made it clear that the car could not be driven during this call, but the representative did not say anything about helping me get it towed, and I had no idea it was a potential service of the company until my second call. The tow truck driver also told me that Nissan cars suddenly locking up and breaking early in their life is very common. I would likely not use Budget again despite my good experience with the car up to that point, based solely on the poor handling of this situation at the end.

When I got there, they took it up charge me for fuel that was for an electric car at about $50. I refused and then they told me I could upgrade to a standard vehicle for $10 more. I declined and I went online and canceled my reservation on the phone before hand Reserving a vehicle to rent from Columbus airport to Cleveland airport. It was totaled $49 and then I got the bill and it was $447 and I filled out the gas right before I dropped it off and then on my bill it shows that the tank was not full and they charged me $9.99.a gallon Now I must also mention that they gave me a dirty car inside and out and it smelled like marijuana, but I didn’t have time to deal with that. I must also say that they charge me a $300 one-way fee that was not disclosed at the time of purchase and I went over all the aspects of the contract that the size of the vehicle, the price insurance and everything with the agent at the gate before I picked up the car so they basically switched everything in the contract and said that that’s what I reserved and then I do a chargeback and I’m Losing

Pros:

I booked a car rental for the Columbus Airport. When I arrived at the Enterprise desk, they told me my rental was across town. I asked for help to get across town or get the car to me (no longer an enterprise offering), but the desk clerk basically said "nope, you're on your own". Kayak also provided no additional help. I rented from Avis desk, don't know why I would use Kayak again

Cons:

Having the car available where I landed

Pickup (CMH) staff did not apologize for giving me a car with a dead battery and made it seem like it was my fault. Drop off (PHL) shuttle bus drivers did their best to avoid picking up passengers - a few of us had to walk to the terminal. Hertz used to be a premium brand - now they are just average.

You should remove the option for Ft Wayne airport return. Hertz is not at the airport - I had to ask the protocol from the other car rental companies that basically said “ this is hertz MO” to charge the extra fee. Thankfully I didn’t have a flight - just a return. Had to drive to a downtown location (closed) to return on time.

I did not rent the car from this location. Upon arrival, attendant required proof of own car insurance. I do not have own car or insurance, which is why I was renting the car. The alternative provided was $40/day for complete insurance from the location itself. I rent cars very often - this has never been a requirement before as my credit card offers great insurance coverage.

Hertz still charges an extra daily fee to add a spouse as an authorized driver. Luckily it looks like a lot of car rental companies are moving away from this, but it's ridiculous

There was an extra charge for a second (spouse) driver which I don’t think we have ever had from another company. When I looked back at the agreement it did mention additional charges for another driver but didn’t say what they were (13$/day). I would have looked at another rental company if I had been aware upfront (like, the info not buried in the middle of the rental agreement) as it did push the price much past the competition’s price. The car was nice, clean, etc.

Horrible. Waited an hour and a half to get a car. I rented a Jetta or equal and got a crappy sounding Corolla. Never use Avis columbus again.

Cons:

The Thrifty location was farthest from terminal. The staff was occupied with one customer. The wait was long. The attendant did not know how to open the back of SUV. Therebwas no one there when the car was returned---not a single person and they were aware fo when I was returning. Thrify is cheap for a reason!

Ran out of cars despite having a reservation. Had to wait over an hour. Staff were not very polite and car had dirt all over back seat. Drop off was simple which was the best part of the whole experience.

Trying to submit lost & found report and no way to contact them and link sent from phone logic tree is invalid when selecting my return location.. calling the location directly results in being put on hold for 10 minutes and hung up on. Caling the corporate customer service live agent directed me to Avis website.. They are unreachable and it seems like its intentional.

Pros:

I was not given clear direction to where to go pick up. I was in the garage for over 20min looking. After locating a person he pointed me to a vehicle that didnt have any keys... frustrated at this point i walk back to the booth and demand they get the van and bring it. That took forever.

Cons:

Have an attendant on hand. It SHOULD NEVER BE THE CUSTOMERS RESPONSIBILITY TO FIND THE VEHICLE

Pros:

Staff was not there at the time of my pick up no help on the phone when I called dollar corporate services. Staff was late opening on the second day when I went back to get my car. Not wearing facemask. Very bad experience!

Cons:

Communications between dollar rental and carrentals.com, through who I made my reservation. More punctual and professional help both at the counter in person as well as online is needed.

Cons:

We made a “reservation” for a Suburban. When we got there all they had left was a little 4 door car. We have 7 people in our family so that wouldn’t work. The man working was nice enough, but he told us when you reserve with a lower cost rental company it’s hit or miss. Sometimes you get what you want, and sometimes you don’t. He showed us a long list of people he had to call to tell them they didn’t have any cars available. I would not recommend renting from Dollar because there NO GUARANTEE that you’ll get what you reserve, or any car for that matter!

Cons:

They should have notified us that they close at 2pm and that, they would not be able to rent us a car. Their sign says go upstairs to the 2nd floor and someone will help you. Then upstairs it says we close at 2pm. So we had to pay double what our original reservation was and book with Hertz there on the spot.
