Book the perfect carRoosevelt’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.

Vaughn for his service to anyone flying in to Columbus GA for any civilian or military functions.
This was a convenience for me, especially since a lot of car rental places were out of cars, and the one that was available costed an arm and a leg, so going through Turo and renting from J was a all around great experience.

Best Columbus driving roads
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.

The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
