KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Gahanna

  • Car rentals in Gahanna have a number of advantages over public buses, which are quite popular due to their affordability. A rental car enhances your flexibility when connecting to various parts of the city, since you can choose your own convenient routes and departure times. This is not possible with public buses, because they follow fixed routes and departure schedules. Gahanna Lincoln Stadium is one of the places you may consider visiting with your rental car to enjoy different games. If you want to visit as many attraction sites as possible, using Gahanna car rentals are cheaper than getting taxis every time.
  • Port Columbus International Airport (CMH) is the main gateway to Gahanna for international travelers. It also doubles up as the best pick up location for car rentals in Gahanna. Upon landing and collecting your baggage, proceed to the Rental Car Shuttle following the Purple Rental Car Shuttle Signs on the Arrivals Level. The Rental Car Shuttle is located between the purple columns at the arrivals. This shuttle takes about 5 minutes to arrive at the car rental facility, which houses, among other agencies, National, Avis, Enterprise, and Alamo.
  • When driving in downtown Gahanna, you should remember that most of the roads have a high number of pedestrians and cyclists, especially in the morning and evening, who tend to jump into roads without checking oncoming vehicles. Apart from this, a number of drivers in Gahanna, particularly those with large trucks, disregard the right of way and enter junctions at any slightest opportunity without caring if they are obstructing other motorists. However, Gahanna roads are generally in good condition and have appropriate roads signs, which makes driving in the city less hectic.
  • The convenience of using car rentals in Gahanna reduces drastically reduces during the morning rush, which are usually between 6 am and 9 am, with the period between 7 am and 7:30 am experiencing the heaviest traffic. A similar situation happens in the evening from 4 pm to around 6 pm on all weekdays, with Friday being the worst day. Compared to the other roads in the city, Interstate 480 (I-480) record the heaviest traffic.
  • Book your rental car in Gahanna at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate rental cars in Gahanna are around 44% more expensive than other car types, on average

Pickup (CMH) staff did not apologize for giving me a car with a dead battery and made it seem like it was my fault. Drop off (PHL) shuttle bus drivers did their best to avoid picking up passengers - a few of us had to walk to the terminal. Hertz used to be a premium brand - now they are just average.

You should remove the option for Ft Wayne airport return. Hertz is not at the airport - I had to ask the protocol from the other car rental companies that basically said “ this is hertz MO” to charge the extra fee. Thankfully I didn’t have a flight - just a return. Had to drive to a downtown location (closed) to return on time.

Hertz still charges an extra daily fee to add a spouse as an authorized driver. Luckily it looks like a lot of car rental companies are moving away from this, but it's ridiculous

There was an extra charge for a second (spouse) driver which I don’t think we have ever had from another company. When I looked back at the agreement it did mention additional charges for another driver but didn’t say what they were (13$/day). I would have looked at another rental company if I had been aware upfront (like, the info not buried in the middle of the rental agreement) as it did push the price much past the competition’s price. The car was nice, clean, etc.

A little high priced fir a one day rental, otherwise clean car. No ‘cleaning product’ odor which was nice!

Tom, Mar 2021

Pros:

The staff didn't seem overly friendly but were helpful enough. They failed to mention their return method at this location which caused a little confusion when I returned the car.

Cons:

I felt that they should have clearly explained their return method (or at least mentioned it).

Pros:

I was not given clear direction to where to go pick up. I was in the garage for over 20min looking. After locating a person he pointed me to a vehicle that didnt have any keys... frustrated at this point i walk back to the booth and demand they get the van and bring it. That took forever.

Cons:

Have an attendant on hand. It SHOULD NEVER BE THE CUSTOMERS RESPONSIBILITY TO FIND THE VEHICLE

Pros:

People were nice, even if not Covid-19 safe.

Cons:

Had to check at three different rental car checkpoints before finding someone with the Enterprise group that could give us our rental car. Person who got our car wasn’t wearing a Covid-19 mask over her nose, and I had to touch the computer to finish. Lastly, the Ford we rented had a terrible navigation and audio interface, both of which were dangerous to use.

Cons:

We made a “reservation” for a Suburban. When we got there all they had left was a little 4 door car. We have 7 people in our family so that wouldn’t work. The man working was nice enough, but he told us when you reserve with a lower cost rental company it’s hit or miss. Sometimes you get what you want, and sometimes you don’t. He showed us a long list of people he had to call to tell them they didn’t have any cars available. I would not recommend renting from Dollar because there NO GUARANTEE that you’ll get what you reserve, or any car for that matter!

They should have notified us that they close at 2pm and that, they would not be able to rent us a car. Their sign says go upstairs to the 2nd floor and someone will help you. Then upstairs it says we close at 2pm. So we had to pay double what our original reservation was and book with Hertz there on the spot.

I was definitely a lack luster experience.
