I had an exceptional experience with this rental from start to finish. The pickup and drop-off processes were incredibly smooth and efficient. I have to give a special shout-out to Ty who assisted me—he was an excellent host and provided top-tier, professional service that really set the tone for the trip. As for the vehicle, it was an absolute pleasure to drive. The self-driving features were truly impressive and made the entire journey effortless. I couldn’t have asked for a better rental experience and will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!"

As a first time Tesla driver, they even took the time to show me how everything worked, which made me feel super comfortable and taken care of. Pickup and return were both easy and convenient.

Top tips for renting a luxury car in Columbus


Luxury cars often have more power or added features compared to conventional sedans and SUVs. That can make driving them feel like an entirely different experience from economy cars and other options. Here are some tips to help you luxuriate on the road safely.


Tips for driving a luxury car in Columbus


Practice handling: This is more important if you rent a luxury sports car or something with a lot of horsepower behind it, but it's important regardless of the model. Especially if the driving conditions are different than what you're used to, take some time to get used to how the vehicle accelerates and handles.


Familiarize yourself with features: Luxury vehicles often have standard features that other vehicles only use as add-ons. This means you're more likely to encounter some safety and entertainment functions that you might not be familiar with. Take a look at the features when you first get in the car so that you're not trying to figure out how to control them on the road. Some safety features, especially, might make extra sounds or change the way the car handles, so it's extra important to take some time beforehand to get used to them.


What is parking a luxury car like in Columbus?


Parking a luxury car in Columbus is like parking just about any vehicle, just with some added need for caution. Parking can be limited during busy seasons, particularly downtown. However, like most places, Columbus has plenty of parking around many businesses. Be sure to lock your vehicle and keep it secure for the best all-around parking experience.


How to choose the perfect luxury car for your Columbus trip


There's no one single way to choose the perfect luxury car rental: It all depends on your needs! For extra room for passengers and cargo alike, opt for a luxury SUV. Luxury sedans might be a better bet for business trips or weekend getaways, while trucks may be the choice if you need to cover bumpier ground.


Great driving roads around Columbus


Downtown Loop: The downtown loop gives you unique views of the downtown Columbus area while keeping you in proximity to all the entertainment available there. It's part of the Scioto Mile, great for cruising for a view or just getting downtown.


Olentangy River Road: For a more nature-driven scenic route, try driving along the Olentangy River Road. It's tree-lined and verdant, primed for experiencing the calmer, more natural side of Columbus.


Historic National Road (Route 40): Take a drive on the National Road, and you'll ride through Ohio's history. Drive over Ohio's oldest bridge, the Blaine Hill Bridge, or make your way to the restored historic tavern that is the Pennsylvania House Museum.

Do I need to be a certain age to rent a car on Turo?

To rent a car on Turo in the US, you must be 18 years old or older.

What kind of license do I need to rent a car on Turo?

Turo accepts valid licenses (not expired, suspended, or revoked) that allow for full driving privileges; this includes driver’s licenses issued outside of the US. Licenses that Turo doesn’t accept in the US include any that have expired, have been altered, are conditional, probational, provisional, or restricted. Learner’s permit/instruction permits are not accepted.

How does car rental insurance work on Turo?

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.

Is there unlimited mileage car rental on Turo?

Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit — you’ll need to check on each rental car individually to see if this service is provided. 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.

Can other people drive the car that I rented?

Yes, multiple guests can drive the car you rent on Turo, as long as they are all approved to drive. The primary driver (whoever rented the car) can add additional drivers with no fees or additional charges. Only the primary driver can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.

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.

How much does it cost to rent a luxury car in Columbus? 

The cost of a luxury car rental in Columbus can vary depending on car type, booking length, extras, and delivery. For cheap luxury car rentals in Columbus, look out for discounts on longer-duration bookings and early bookings.

What luxury rental car types are there in Columbus?

The availability of rental cars on Turo will vary depending on the time and length of your booking, but you're sure to find a variety.

Take a Land Rover Range Rover for a spin with the whole family, or experience the speed of an Audi RS e-Tron GT.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.

For questions or information about the third party liability insurance that is included in protection plans, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site.
