The airport is open 24/7, but it's always wise to check the working hours of the car rental company before your flight.

Choosing the Right Car Class

When choosing a car class, consider the nature of your trip. Economy or compact cars are great for short city travels, while an SUV or a Minivan provides comfort for family trips or if you’re planning to explore the South Carolina countryside.

Navigating From the Airport

Driving from Columbia Metropolitan Airport to the city center is a breeze. It’s just a short 15-minute ride via I-26 E and US-176 E/US-21 S. However, local traffic during rush hours can be heavy, so plan your journey accordingly.

Closest Gas Stations

Remember to check the fuel policy of your rental car. There are several gas stations like Shell, BP and Sprint Food Stores within a few miles of the airport, allowing you to refuel before returning your car.

Local Climate and Currency

South Carolina enjoys a subtropical climate. Winters are short and mild, while summers are long, hot and humid. Be sure to dress accordingly. The local currency is the US Dollar. ATMs are available at the airport and throughout the city of Columbia.

Exploring Surrounding Cities

With your rental car, don't miss the opportunity to explore surrounding cities such as Charleston, Greenville, and Spartanburg, all within just a few hours' drive. The charming beaches of Myrtle Beach are also a must-visit for any South Carolina adventure.
