At John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) in Ohio, rental car pickup requires taking a shuttle from the terminal to the Consolidated Rental Car Facility (CRF).

• After collecting your bags, follow the purple signs from baggage claim to the designated shuttle boarding area.
• Board the airport shuttle, which runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to the CRF located at 4106 International Gateway.
• Once at the CRF, locate your rental brand's counter, present your booking confirmation, driver's license, and credit card, and complete the agreement.

Counter hours at CMH vary by brand. As a reference, some counters operate from 8:00 AM to 1:00 AM daily, with staffed late-night coverage for after-hours arrivals. If you arrive after the counter closes, a key-drop box is available at the return lane for after-hours drop-offs.

At Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) in Ohio, shuttles depart from the Ground Transportation Center on the north end of the terminal and travel approximately 5 to 7 minutes to the off-airport CRF at 19601 Maplewood Avenue. Shuttles run 24/7, though counters typically close by 11:30 PM and reopen at 7:00 AM. At Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), no shuttle is needed; walk directly from baggage claim following Ground Transport West signage to the on-terminal Rental Car Center.

Yes, Ohio has a major toll road that many rental car drivers use: the Ohio Turnpike, which runs 241 miles east to west across northern Ohio (I-76, I-80, I-90) from the Indiana border to the Pennsylvania border, passing near Toledo, Cleveland, and Akron.

The Ohio Turnpike accepts both E-ZPass (electronic transponder) and cash or credit card at toll plazas. Typical 2026 passenger vehicle tolls for the full westbound trip are approximately US$19 with E-ZPass or US$27.75 by cash or credit card. Eastbound, the rates are approximately US$16 with E-ZPass or US$23.50 by cash or credit card, meaning E-ZPass saves roughly 33%.

Rental cars in Ohio do not come with a built-in E-ZPass transponder by default. Your options are:

• Enroll in the rental company's toll program (such as Enterprise TollPass or Avis e-Toll), which typically charges the actual toll amount plus a daily service fee of around US$4.95 per day, capped at approximately US$34.65 per rental.
• Pay tolls manually at the plaza using cash or a credit card.
• Prepay tolls online through the Ohio Turnpike website before or during your trip.

If you drive through a toll in Ohio without paying or enrolling, the toll agency will bill the rental company, which will then charge the toll amount plus administrative fees to your card. Ohio has no congestion charges or emissions zones.

To pick up a rental car in Ohio, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:

• A valid, original driver's license in the main driver's name. If your license is not in English or uses a non-Latin alphabet (such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic), you must also carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) as a translation alongside your original license.
• A major credit card physically printed with the main driver's name, with sufficient available credit to cover the security deposit hold (typically US$300 to US$400 for standard vehicles at Ohio locations).
• A valid passport or government-issued photo ID.
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher.
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets if you are visiting Ohio from abroad.

All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted at the counter in Ohio.

The IDP is not a standalone license and must always be carried together with your original license. If you think you may need one, obtain it in your home country before traveling to Ohio, as U.S. issuers such as AAA do not issue IDPs to non-U.S. license holders.

Yes, all bookings include Tolls Cashback, which lets you recover up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your Ohio rental, including any tolls incurred on the Ohio Turnpike.

Here is how it works:

• You pay tolls normally during your Ohio trip, either at the plaza, through the rental company's toll program, or via the Ohio Turnpike website.
• After returning the vehicle, email [email protected] within 30 days with your Hola Car Rentals reservation confirmation, a copy of the signed rental agreement, and a receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid.
• The refund is issued to the original payment method used for your booking and typically processes within 7 to 10 business days after approval.

The cashback is capped at 5% of your booking total. For example, if your Ohio booking totaled US$500, the maximum refund is US$25. If you paid US$18 in Ohio Turnpike tolls, you receive US$18 back. If you paid US$40, you receive US$25 (the cap). Claims submitted after 30 days from vehicle return are not accepted.

Ohio enforces several driving rules that directly affect rental car drivers, and some differ from neighboring states.

Cell phone use: Ohio bans all handheld cell phone use while driving, including texting, calling, and browsing. A first offense carries a US$150 fine and 2 points on your driving record. This is stricter than Kentucky, where calls are permitted for drivers 18 and older, so visitors accustomed to more lenient rules should be aware of Ohio's policy.

Turn signals: Ohio law requires you to signal at least 100 feet before turning or changing lanes. This is shorter than Indiana's 200-foot requirement on highways, but it is still enforced.

License plates: Ohio requires both a front and rear license plate on all vehicles, including rental cars. Indiana and Kentucky only require a rear plate, so this is a notable difference if you are crossing state lines.

Speed limits: Most Ohio highways are posted at 65 mph, with some rural interstates at 70 mph and urban freeways often at 55 to 65 mph. School zones are 20 mph during active hours. Exceeding the limit by 30 mph or more adds 4 points to your record.

Move-over law: Ohio requires drivers to move over or slow down when passing emergency, tow, or maintenance vehicles with lights activated. Violations carry fines and points.

Headlights: Ohio requires headlights in rain or low-light conditions such as dusk.

Ohio winters can significantly affect driving conditions for rental car drivers, particularly on highways and bridges across the state.

Ohio uses a county-level snow emergency system with three levels:

• Level 1: Roads are hazardous due to snow or ice. Drive cautiously and allow extra travel time.
• Level 2: Roads are very hazardous with blowing or drifting snow. Only essential travel is recommended.
• Level 3: Roads are closed to non-emergency vehicles. Driving on Level 3 roads can result in arrest.

Bridges and overpasses in Ohio ice over before road surfaces, creating fishtail risks even when main roads appear clear. During heavy snow events, highway speeds can drop to 20 to 25 mph and travel times can double.

Before driving in Ohio during winter months, check real-time road conditions and construction alerts at OHGO.com, which is operated by the Ohio Department of Transportation. County sheriff websites also post current snow emergency levels.

Ohio does not have a statewide requirement for winter tires on rental cars, but driving cautiously on icy Ohio roads is strongly advised. If you are picking up your rental at CMH, CLE, or CVG during a winter storm, confirm your counter hours have not changed and allow extra time for shuttle transfers between the terminal and the rental facility.

Yes, a major credit card is required to rent a car in Ohio. Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit hold at the counter.

The credit card must meet these requirements:

• It must be a major credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, or similar) with a line of credit, not linked to a bank balance.
• The card must be physically present at the counter with the main driver's name printed on it.
• It must have sufficient available credit to cover the security hold, which is typically US$300 to US$400 for standard vehicles at Ohio rental locations.
• Virtual cards, digital wallets (Google Pay, Apple Pay), and single-use card numbers are not accepted for the deposit.

Even if you prepaid your Ohio booking in full online, you are still required to present a physical credit card at the counter in Ohio for the security hold. The hold is a temporary authorization, not a charge, and is released after you return the vehicle. Your bank controls how quickly the hold disappears from your available credit, which can take up to 15 business days.

If you are traveling to Ohio from abroad, notify your bank before your trip to prevent fraud blocks on in-person transactions, and consider bringing a backup credit card in your name.

Most bookings include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection, which can be especially useful if an incident occurs while driving in Ohio, such as a medical emergency on the Ohio Turnpike or a breakdown in a rural area of the state.

Core benefits typically include:

• Travel and medical coverage for up to 5 passengers per event.
• Legal assistance in the event of a road accident in Ohio.
• Compensation for baggage lost by the airline on your way to Ohio.
• Flight cancellation insurance.

To reach assistance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, call +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free) or contact via WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your booking confirmation number ready when you call.

Important: this travel assistance benefit applies only to non-North American customers. Residents of the United States and Canada do not qualify for this coverage. It also does not cover damage to the rental vehicle itself (that is handled by CDW/LDW) or third-party liability (covered by LIS/ALI/SLI). Pre-existing medical conditions are excluded. Always review the exact terms on your booking confirmation, as coverage limits and conditions vary by itinerary.

In Ohio, the minimum age to rent a car without a young-driver surcharge is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent in Ohio but will be charged a daily young-renter surcharge, and most vehicle classes are restricted to drivers 25 and older.

Vehicle classes typically restricted to drivers 25 and older in Ohio include full-size sedans, full-size SUVs, minivans, vans, convertibles, luxury, and premium vehicles. Drivers aged 21 to 24 are generally limited to economy, compact, intermediate, and compact SUV categories.

Daily young-renter surcharge amounts in Ohio vary by rental brand:

• Avis, Budget, and Payless: approximately US$13 per day plus taxes, capped at US$65 plus taxes.
• Hertz, Thrifty, and Dollar: approximately US$13.50 per day plus taxes, capped at US$189 plus taxes.
• Alamo, National, and Enterprise: approximately US$15 per day plus taxes.

If you are aged 21 to 24 and from Latin America or the Caribbean, certain Ohio bookings fulfilled by Avis or Budget may waive the young-renter fee for the main driver, provided the waiver is explicitly shown on your booking confirmation and you select an eligible vehicle category. Check your confirmation carefully before arriving at the Ohio counter.

Rental cars in Ohio follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy by default. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.

At pickup in Ohio, check the fuel gauge with the rental agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on your rental agreement. Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and gauge before leaving the lot.

When returning your Ohio rental, refuel within approximately 10 miles or 15 km of the return location so the gauge does not drop below full before you arrive. Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address.

If you return the vehicle below the recorded starting level, the rental company may charge:

• A fuel shortfall at the partner's refueling rate, which is typically higher than the pump price.
• A refueling service or administrative fee on top of the fuel cost.

For after-hours returns at Ohio airports such as CMH, place your fuel receipt in the key-drop envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge on your phone as evidence. If the car was not full at pickup, ask the Ohio counter agent to record the exact level on the agreement and return it at that same level to avoid charges.

Yes, after-hours returns are available at major Ohio airports, though the process varies by location.

At Columbus International Airport (CMH) in Ohio, return the vehicle to the CRF at 4106 International Gateway. Follow the Car Rental Return signs to your brand's lot in the parking garage. For after-hours drop-offs, park and lock the vehicle, then place the keys and rental contract in the secure key-drop box located at the front of the return lane next to the preferred booth. Some counters at CMH are staffed until 2:00 AM, with an agent available again at approximately 4:30 AM for very early returns.

At Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) in Ohio, return the vehicle to the off-airport CRF at 19601 Maplewood Avenue. Counters at CLE typically close by 11:30 PM and reopen at 7:00 AM, but 24/7 shuttles continue running from the CRF back to the terminal even when counters are closed.

At Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), return the vehicle to the on-terminal Rental Car Center near baggage claim.

For any after-hours Ohio return, keep a photo of the vehicle's condition and fuel gauge, and retain your rental agreement and fuel receipt. Liability for the vehicle generally remains with you until the rental company officially checks it in the next business day.

The insurance and protection coverages included with your Ohio rental depend on the rate plan you selected at booking. It is important to review your booking confirmation carefully before arriving at the Ohio counter.

Common coverages and what they protect:

• Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): reduces your financial liability for damage to the rental vehicle itself from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation states zero deductible. CDW/LDW does not cover damage you cause to other vehicles or people.
• Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI): covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving in Ohio. Some U.S. states require rental companies to include state-minimum liability, but not all do. Adding supplemental liability coverage up to US$300,000 is strongly recommended for driving in Ohio.

CDW/LDW and LIS/ALI/SLI are separate protections. Pairing both gives you coverage for the rental vehicle and for third parties.

Neither coverage includes your personal injuries (that requires Personal Accident Insurance) or your belongings (that requires Personal Effects Coverage). Coverage is void if an unlisted driver operates the vehicle, so add all drivers to the Ohio rental agreement at the counter.

Yes, one-way rentals that start in Ohio and end in another state are generally available, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on the route, rental brand, vehicle class, and season.

How drop-off fees work for Ohio one-way rentals:

• Same-city airport to downtown Ohio: often no drop-off fee.
• Ohio city to another city within the same region: a drop-off fee typically applies and varies by distance and vehicle class.
• Ohio to a different state (such as Indiana, Pennsylvania, Michigan, or Kentucky): a drop-off fee usually applies.
• Cross-border rentals (Ohio to Canada, for example): may be restricted or require prior approval from the rental partner.

The drop-off fee for your specific Ohio route is shown during the booking process on the rate details page under the section labeled To Pay at Destination. It is not included in any All Inclusive or All Inclusive+ rate and cannot be prepaid.

If you need to change your drop-off location after booking your Ohio rental, the route will be repriced and the drop-off fee may change. Mid-rental route changes must be approved by the rental partner. Always confirm cross-state driving is permitted under your rental agreement before leaving Ohio.
