Air Fare, Hotels & Car Rental -
There are numerous options for air travel to Columbia, SC and the Midlands area. Multiservice travel options include Booking.com (map below), TripAdvisor, Expedia, Priceline & Travelocity. With these, you can secure your flight, hotel and car rental usually with some discount for bundling the three.
Alternatively, you can approach these separately and book air travel thru Delta, United Airlines or US Air and connect directly into the Columbia, SC airport or about a 1 1/2 hours drive further thru Charlotte, NC.
The next task would be securing the car rental from the airport to your hotel destination. I prefer and recommend Rentalcars.com or alternatively Hotwire or AutoEurope. Of the several services, I rank National the highest since I get to pick my car and usually avoid lines signing up for service. Of course with the multi-car agency services that may not be the most affordable option.
And finally on to reserving your hotel. There are numerous options in Columbia with a new Hampton Inn & Suites being built in the Northeast part of the city as we speak. My preferred brands are Hilton with the Hilton Honors program, Marriott, IHG (Holiday Inn Express) and Best Western. Strategize your hotel planning near the bowling sites or choose one near the downtown area to take advantage of Columbia's nightlife options.
