Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Columbia car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours in advance of collecting the car, most prepaid rentals offer a refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it's important to read the rental agreement. Read through your itinerary for the specifics or click through to our Customer Service Portal to find out more.
What types of cars can I rent in Columbia?
Reasonably priced, easy to handle and great on mileage, it's no coincidence that compact cars are the most booked rental category in Columbia. Tour this city in one of these and you'll be able to park in tight spaces and easily get around busy streets. A compact is ideal for city adventures or short road trips. But they're not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy ride or stretch out in a full-size or premium — the choice is all yours!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Columbia?
If you're 21 and over, you can rent a vehicle in Columbia. Be mindful that rental providers will charge young drivers an extra fee, which helps cover the higher damage or accident risk involved. Also, young drivers usually aren't permitted to rent luxury or specialty vehicles. Carefully read the terms and conditions before you book to avoid any hassles during pickup.
What do you need to rent a car in Columbia?
Any rental company you select will require two things — a valid driver's licence and credit card. If you decide to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Columbia?

Where can I find a Columbia car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental companies operating in Columbia. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, bear in mind that additional costs may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before collecting the vehicle.
