Top tips for renting a car from Avis in Columbus

  • It is a good idea to book Avis car rentals in Columbus, Ohio, because having your own vehicle gives you the flexibility to explore and travel on your own schedule. If you're planning to stay in the city and primarily need a car for urban driving and commuting, a standard or full-size sedan is a practical choice. If you're visiting Columbus during pleasant weather and want to enjoy the open road, consider renting a convertible for a fun and exciting experience. For eco-conscious travelers, you might opt for a hybrid or electric vehicle to reduce your environmental footprint and save on fuel costs.
  • The Avis Preferred loyalty program provides numerous advantages to individuals who book Avis car rentals in Columbus. Members can enjoy expedited service at the preferred service counter, reducing wait times and ensuring priority assistance, which is particularly valuable during peak travel seasons. Avis Preferred members earn points for each eligible rental, which can be later redeemed for complimentary rental days. The more you rent with Avis, the more points you can accumulate.
  • Understanding Avis's cancellation policy is essential when you book Avis car rentals in Columbus. In the event of a cancellation, Avis typically processes the refund within approximately seven business days, and the refunded amount is credited back to the original credit card used for prepayment. It's important to be aware that there is usually a processing fee if you choose to cancel a prepaid reservation before the scheduled rental date, although the specific fee amount can vary. Additionally, if you return the rental vehicle earlier than the originally scheduled return date, Avis typically does not provide a refund for the unused portion of the payment.
  • For those planning to book Avis car rentals in Columbus, it's worth noting that Avis offers various extras to enhance your rental experience. These include GPS navigation devices to assist with navigation in unfamiliar areas, child car seats designed to ensure the safety and comfort of young passengers, and a range of fuel service options, including the choice to prepay for a full tank or return the vehicle without refueling. These options cater to different travel needs and preferences.
  • Compact rental cars from Avis in Columbus are around 26% cheaper than other car types, on average.
