With a rental car, you'll have the freedom and flexibility to travel as you please, go where you want when you want, and explore off-the-beaten-path destinations that may not be easily accessible by public transit.

On the airport's arrivals level, look for the purple signs directing you to the rental car shuttle pick-up area, located between the purple columns in the center of the arrivals median. Once you've been shuttled to the consolidated car rental facility, head to the rental counters on the first floor. In addition, car rentals in Upper Arlington feature a minimum rental age of 21.

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 againCons:

They could have my car cleaned before I head to pick it up. They make me wait for 20 minutes until they cleaned inside and outside. At the end, they just perform a very quick and light clean on the outside and inside. A very bad impresión.10,0 Wonderful

Cons:
Made a reservation 2 months in advance for a car as we were driving a long distance, we were given a jeep while watching another customer without a reservation drive off with the exact make and model of car we reserved. Had to go back in as the reservation was put under the "other driver" which would have made insurance a nightmare had anything happened. Made for a more expensive trip as gas cost is way more then a car would have .... was all just a nightmare7,2 Good

I reserved a car on Friday March 10th for Saturday March 11th. As I was leaving the home they called me and told me they have no available cars. Thus, I both missed my trip (which means missing my spring break) and the insurance cost which I had paid to KayakHertz

Pros:
They gave me a great car and it took maybe 3 minutes to pick up. Friendly staff great service great vehicle.Cons:
I called to change my reservation to pick it up about 7 hours before I originally wanted to and was told there would be no issue. I talked to 3 customer service people who were clueless and basically said I couldn't, or said the price would be totally different, before being connected to the guy behind the desk at the location I was picking up at. This guy understood what I wanted, made the change and charged me less than the others said I'd be paying! Train your customer service people to match your front desk people and you'll be much better off.8,0 Very Good
