Get your feet wet in Columbus

Bounded by the Chattahoochee River, Columbus is a popular place for whitewater rafting, zip lining, and other outdoor adventures. While the Whitewater Express, the world’s longest urban whitewater course, is something you won’t want to miss, Columbus is also home to thriving farmers markets, free concerts, and U.S. history.

So unwind and prepare to get wet in this colorful riverside metropolis.

Chattahoochee RiverWalk

From Indian traders and Spanish explorers to steam boat passengers, Columbus’ history is closely tied to the Chattahoochee River. At this 15-mile park, you can amble along the Chattahoochee River and learn about the city that grew up on its banks.

Coca-Cola Space Science Center

Space geeks will go wild at the Coca-Cola Space Science Center. Tour a space shuttle, watch a planetarium show, and learn about the Challenger mission. You can also see Apollo artifacts and take a virtual tour of the International Space Station via a 360-degree theater.

Flat Rock Park

If you’re in the mood for a peaceful day out in nature, Flat Rock Park is a pleasant forested area with a waterfall and hiking and biking trails. Pack a picnic and plan to take a dip in the river, just beware of the slip-and-slide rocks.

Roosevelt’s Little White House

FDR’s Georgia home has been carefully preserved with all the details just as he left them, which makes it a treat to visit. While there, you can also see FDR’s 1938 Ford convertible, listen to his famous Fireside Chats on a 1930s radio, and view exhibits about the Depression-era United States president.

Providence Canyon State Park

Georgia’s Little Grand Canyon includes 10 miles of hiking trails, including the Canyon Loop Trail, which takes you around nine of the canyons in about two hours. Unlike the Grand Canyon, Providence was created through poor farming practices in the 1800s. But the result is some stunning scenery.

Pasaquan

Only about 40 minutes from Columbus, you won’t want to miss this intriguing art destination. Created by Edward Owens Martin over 30 years, Pasaquan is a seven-acre art environment that fuses African, Native American, and pre-Columbian Mexican designs, embodying a new ideology called Pasaquoyan.

Best Columbus driving roads

Purple squiggle

Meriwether-Pike Scenic Byway

If you’re visiting FDR’s house, you can continue your excursion by driving north through a historic area called the Cove. This rich region was carved by a meteor billions of years ago. Pull off in Woodbury to see Georgia’s oldest covered bridge, then stop in Gay for an old gristmill and millpond.

Enduring Farmlands Scenic Byway

Grab a tank of fuel, then travel back in time as you cruise through 60 miles of rolling farmland. Along the way, there are plenty of historic small towns to stop at, including Hawkinsville with its old opera house. If you’re lucky, you can catch a farmers market or even see a wild hog in Abbeville.

431 to Providence Canyon

Providence Canyon is worth seeing, and if you take the slightly longer route to get there via 431, you’ll experience plenty of beautiful forested scenery along the way. You may even catch a few glimpses of the serene Chattahoochee River.

Do I need my own insurance?

No, you don’t need personal insurance coverage to rent a car on Turo.

In the US, any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your Turo protection plan. When booking a car in the US, you’ll choose between three protection plans — Premier (eligibility requirements apply), Standard, or Minimum — to get the level of protection that’s right for you. On each trip, you’re covered with third-party automobile liability insurance provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company.*

In New York state, you’ll also choose between Premier (if available), Standard, or Minimum. With each plan, you’re covered with liability insurance of $1,250,000.* Protection plans for New York trips also include access to roadside assistance, priority phone support, and 24/7 customer assistance.

What types of cars can I book in Columbus?

Browse the wide selection of vehicles for all kinds of occasions and budgets on Turo. Find a full-size SUV for a family road trip, a pickup truck for some errands, or a sporty convertible for a special night out in Columbus. For the lowest prices, use the “budget-friendly” filter to browse economy vehicles.

How can I drive unlimited miles during my trip to Columbus?

Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit. On the vehicle pages, you’ll see the total miles or kilometres you’re allowed to drive under the heading “Distance included.” You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the “Unlimited distance” filter.

What payment methods does Turo accept?

Turo accepts most credit cards issued by major financial institutions, including American Express and Discover cards, as well as debit cards with a Visa or Mastercard logo that are linked to a checking account.

Apple Pay and Google Pay on mobile devices are also accepted, but Turo does not accept cash or checks as valid payment methods.

What is the cancellation policy for guests on Turo?

You can cancel and get a full refund up to 24 hours before your trip starts, unless you opt to receive a non-refundable trip discount when you book. If you book a trip with less than 24 hours’ notice, you have one hour after booking to cancel free of charge. If you cancel after the free cancellation period ends, you will be charged a cancellation fee.

In the rare event a host cancels, you’ll be notified immediately so you can book another car, or we’ll help you find one. Your refund can be temporarily held to expedite rebooking, or the funds can be returned to your bank account — your choice.

What are the cleaning and safety policies on Turo?

Under the enhanced cleaning policy, hosts are required to clean and disinfect their vehicles thoroughly before every trip, so you can feel safe and comfortable behind the wheel. Turo hosts have access to training materials on enhanced cleaning practices, using the latest recommendations compiled from the CDC, EPA, WHO, and vehicle detailing experts, to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Is Turo a rental car company?

No. Unlike rental car companies, Turo is a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace where you can book directly from trusted local car owners in the US, Canada, and the UK. Turo does not own any vehicles — Turo hosts share their own personal cars and set their own prices, discounts, vehicle availability, and delivery options.

Are there cars available near the Columbus airport?

Yes, there are hundreds of cars available on Turo at airport locations. After arriving at the Columbus Airport, Montgomery Airport, or Atlanta Airport, skip the rental counter and have your car rental alternative delivered for pick-up and dropoff at your Columbus hotel or the address of your vacation rental to save time and hassle.

Is there a fee to add additional drivers to my trip?

There is no fee or additional charge for adding a driver to your trip on Turo. Only the guest who booked the trip (primary driver) can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to request to add authorized drivers before your trip starts, though guests in the US and Canada can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress with no extra charges.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.

What types of sports cars, luxury cars, or exotics can I book in Columbus?

You can find nearly endless options for sports cars, luxury cars, and specialty vehicles on Turo. As you search by city, filter your search by category, vehicle type, or vehicle make to refine your results, or try the “Deluxe Class” and “Super Deluxe Class” filters to browse high-end luxury car rental alternatives near Columbus.

How easy is street parking in Columbus?

Street parking can get tricky in downtown Columbus, but there are often spots to be found the further away you get from the center of downtown. Many street parking spots are metered, and city public parking garages have cheap rates in Columbus.
