Car rentals from Budget in Columbus are charged per day. If you rent for more than 24 hours, you will be charged for an additional day, so plan accordingly.

If sharing driving responsibilities, check the policies regarding additional drivers. Some companies charge fees for each extra driver, while others may include it for free under certain conditions.

Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.
