Driving in Columbia

On the other side

Remember, unlike the UK, the US drives on the right side of the road, so take a little time to familiarise yourself with this change.

Attractions Aplenty

With your rental car, you’re free to explore all that Columbia has to offer at your own pace. Make a beeline for the Riverbanks Zoo & Garden, Congaree National Park, or the EdVenture Children's Museum if travelling with little ones.

Parking in Columbia

Downtown offers numerous parking garages, as well as metered street parking. Do pay attention though, as many streets have restrictions during certain hours.
