Plan smart routes & returns
One‑way rentals unlock flexible routes without backtracking—but they’re subject to stock and drop fees. Start by mapping your direction of travel and aligning pick‑ups with flight times. For the broadest fleet, consider LAX Airport car rental to kick off a west‑to‑east route.
If you’re finishing on the Strip or starting there instead, compare Las Vegas car hire for late‑night arrivals and early returns. Pricing can shift around conventions and holiday weekends—search a few date combinations to find the sweet spot.
Heading into Arizona? For solid inventory and straightforward returns, tap Phoenix Airport car rental. Hola Car Rentals lists total prices (including taxes and fees) and, on selected itineraries, All‑Inclusive+ with maximum coverage so you can skip upsell pressure at the desk.
For desert drives and mountain detours, comfort pays off. Many travelers opt for SUV hire in Phoenix to balance highway stability and cargo flexibility. If you have loyalty perks with a particular brand in LA, you can also choose Alamo car rental at LAX while keeping Hola Car Rentals’ price transparency.
How to reduce one‑way fees
- Reverse the route and re‑price—some directions have lower drop fees.
- Pick popular corridors (LAX↔LAS, LAS↔PHX) for better stock and competition.
- Choose smaller categories; full‑size SUVs usually carry higher one‑way charges.
- Book early, then re‑check—Free Cancellation up to 48 hours before pick‑up lets you lock a deal and switch if it drops.
FAQs
Can I cross state lines?
Most itineraries allow it, but mileage rules vary. Check the rate details in Hola Car Rentals for any geographic limits.
Do I need the same driver for the full trip?
Name the primary driver and add authorized drivers as needed; extra driver fees may apply. Keep licenses and payment cards handy at pick‑up.
Payment holds, mileage & drivers
One‑way rentals usually require a standard security deposit hold; credit cards are widely accepted and some debit cards have restrictions. Mileage is typically unlimited on intercity routes, but always confirm—especially on specialty vehicles. Add additional drivers during pick‑up to keep coverage valid; sharing driving on long desert stretches is safer and more relaxing.
Category choices that save
- Compact and midsize cars often carry the best one‑way pricing and fuel economy.
- If you need cargo space, compare small crossover SUVs against full‑size options—you may get 90% of the room for less.
- Avoid one‑way drops into small towns; big‑city to big‑city pairs usually price better.
When plans are fluid, remember you can make a cancellable reservation to protect price and stock, then re‑shop the same route if fares fall. Hola Car Rentals’ upfront totals and clear fuel policies help you avoid desk‑side surprises.
Return‑day checklist
- Refuel within 5–10 miles of the facility and keep the receipt.
- Empty every door pocket and seatback before you lock up.
- Take final photos and confirm mileage/fuel with the agent.
Sample corridor: start at LAX, aim for a sunset arrival in Vegas, then cut across to Phoenix for flights home. Flip the route and prices change—always price both directions and adjust vehicle category if you don’t need third‑row seating. Plan pick‑ups midweek when possible; weekends tend to draw more one‑way demand.
