No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your booking at Salt Lake City Airport are clearly shown at the time of reservation and in your confirmation email, so you know exactly what you are paying before you arrive at the counter.

On top of that, every Hola Car Rentals booking includes the No Extra Charges© guarantee. This is a pricing guarantee (not insurance) that protects you if the counter at Salt Lake City Airport charges you for something that was not listed on your confirmation and was not an optional add-on you accepted. If that happens, Hola Car Rentals will work with the rental partner to remove or reimburse the charge after verification.

The only costs outside this guarantee are:

• Optional add-ons you choose at the counter (GPS, child seats, prepaid fuel)
• Usage-based charges (tolls, fuel shortfall, traffic fines)

At Salt Lake City Airport, all major on-site rental brands have their counters in the Gateway Center, a shared facility connected to the parking garage at approximately 3920 West Terminal Drive, Salt Lake City, UT 84122.

After collecting your bags, follow the signs across one of two skywalks or bridges from the baggage claim level. The walk is roughly 350 yards and no shuttle or people mover is needed for on-site brands. Vehicles are parked in the garage directly behind the counters.

The following brands operate on-site at Salt Lake City Airport: Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, National, Payless, and Thrifty.

Some off-site brands such as Sixt, Fox, and ACE use a shuttle that departs from the west side of the parking garage. If your booking is with one of those brands, look for the shuttle stop signs after exiting the terminal.

Counter hours at Salt Lake City Airport vary by brand. Here is a summary of typical operating hours for on-site brands:

• Budget: 24 hours, 7 days a week
• Avis and Payless: 5 a.m. to 2 a.m.
• Alamo, Enterprise, and National: 7 a.m. to midnight (some Enterprise listings show 6 a.m. to 11:59 p.m.)
• Dollar, Hertz, and Thrifty: 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.

If your flight arrives outside a brand's operating hours, you may not be able to pick up your vehicle until the counter reopens. Budget is the only brand at Salt Lake City Airport with confirmed 24-hour service. After-hours vehicle returns are generally available via a key drop box in the garage, but after-hours pickups are limited to brands whose counters are open.

Always verify hours on your booking confirmation before travel, as hours can change on holidays or due to operational adjustments.

When renting a car at Salt Lake City Airport, the main toll system you may encounter is the I-15 Express Lanes, a cashless managed lane network spanning approximately 62 miles from Spanish Fork to Layton Parkway, passing through the Salt Lake City area.

Tolls on the I-15 Express Lanes are dynamic and range from a minimum of US$0.25 to a maximum of US$1.00 per segment for solo drivers. Carpools with two or more occupants can qualify for a 100% exemption by switching an Express Pass transponder to HOV mode. Regular lanes on I-15 remain free.

Rental vehicles at Salt Lake City Airport come equipped with an electronic toll device. At the counter you can choose between:

• An unlimited toll package: typically US$11 to US$25 per day depending on the brand
• Pay-per-use: actual toll charges plus administrative or processing fees billed after the rental

If you drive through a cashless toll without enrolling in a program, the rental company will bill the toll at the highest applicable rate plus administrative fees, which can appear on your card weeks after the rental ends. You may also use a personal Express Pass or E-ZPass transponder to avoid rental program fees, but inform the counter agent so the vehicle's default device can be deactivated to prevent duplicate charges.

Yes, every booking made through Hola Car Rentals includes Tolls Cashback, which reimburses up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your rental at Salt Lake City Airport or anywhere else on your trip.

This is especially useful if you drive the I-15 Express Lanes near Salt Lake City Airport, where tolls are charged electronically and can add up across multiple trips.

To claim your cashback, email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle and include:

• Your Hola Car Rentals reservation confirmation
• A copy of the rental agreement signed at pick-up
• A receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid (toll provider invoice, final rental invoice with itemized toll line, or transponder statement)

The refund is processed to the same payment method used for your booking and typically takes 7 to 10 business days after approval. Claims submitted after 30 days are not accepted. This benefit does not mean tolls are included in your rate; you still pay tolls normally and claim reimbursement afterward.

To collect your rental car at Salt Lake City Airport, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:

• Your original, unexpired driver's license with a photo
• A major credit card in the main driver's name, with the driver's name printed on the physical card, for the security deposit hold
• A valid passport or government-issued photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
• Round-trip flight or travel tickets

If your driver's license is not in English and does not use a Latin (Roman) alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory. For licenses in other non-English languages that do use Latin characters, an IDP is strongly recommended but not strictly required at Salt Lake City Airport.

The IDP is a translation document only and must always be carried alongside your original license. It is not accepted as a standalone license.

All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted at the counter. If you are unsure whether your license qualifies, obtain an IDP from your home country's automobile association before traveling.

Yes, a major credit card is required to rent a car at Salt Lake City Airport. The card must be in the main driver's name, with the driver's name physically printed on the card, and must have sufficient available credit to cover the security deposit hold.

At Salt Lake City Airport, the typical security deposit hold for a standard vehicle is approximately US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount varies by brand, vehicle class, and rental duration. The hold is a temporary authorization, not a charge, and is released after you return the vehicle. Your bank controls how quickly the hold disappears from your available balance, which can take up to 15 business days.

Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual or single-use card numbers are not accepted for the deposit at Salt Lake City Airport. Even if you prepaid your booking online, you must still present a physical credit card at the counter.

Tips to avoid issues at the counter:

• Notify your bank of international travel before arriving at Salt Lake City Airport to prevent fraud blocks on the authorization
• Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined
• Confirm your available credit covers the hold amount plus any expected charges

When renting a car at Salt Lake City Airport, several fees and taxes are added on top of the base rate. These are standard charges associated with operating at the airport and in Utah, and they apply regardless of which brand you choose.

• Airport Concession Recovery Fee (ACRF): typically 10 to 12% of the base rental rate, charged by the rental company to recover the cost of operating at Salt Lake City Airport
• Customer Facility Charge (CFC): approximately US$4.50 to US$5.00 per rental day, covering the cost of the Gateway Center rental facility
• Utah state vehicle rental tax: 10.25% applied to the rental

These fees are bundled into the quotes shown by all major brands at Salt Lake City Airport. Depending on your booking, some or all of these may be listed as included in your prepaid rate, or they may appear as amounts due at pick-up.

Check your booking confirmation carefully. If your confirmation shows taxes and fees as included and you are still charged at the counter, the No Extra Charges© guarantee may apply. Contact support after completing your rental with your rental agreement and receipt.

Yes, one-way rentals from Salt Lake City Airport are possible, but they typically come with a drop-off fee that varies significantly depending on the destination, vehicle class, and rental brand.

For routes to destinations in the Mountain West region, such as National park gateways or ski area hubs, one-way surcharges from Salt Lake City Airport can be substantial. For example, luxury or large 4WD SUV one-ways to destinations like Bozeman, Montana have been reported starting at US$600 per direction, which is higher than typical one-way fees at many U.S. airports.

Key things to know about one-way rentals from Salt Lake City Airport:

• The drop-off fee is shown during the booking process under the section labeled as amounts due at destination, not in the base rate
• The fee cannot be prepaid and is not covered by No Extra Charges© unless it was not disclosed during booking
• Changing your return location after booking may reprice the rental and increase the fee
• Cross-border one-ways (for example, into Canada or Mexico) may be restricted or require prior authorization from the rental brand

Always confirm the drop-off fee on your booking confirmation before finalizing a one-way reservation from Salt Lake City Airport.

At Salt Lake City Airport, the minimum age to rent a car is 21 years old. Drivers aged 21 to 24 are subject to a young-renter surcharge, which is a daily fee charged at the counter in addition to the base rental rate.

Drivers aged 25 and older are not subject to any age-related surcharge at Salt Lake City Airport.

Additional rules that apply to renters under 25 at Salt Lake City Airport:

• Vehicle class restrictions apply: most brands limit under-25 renters to economy, compact, intermediate, and compact or intermediate SUV categories. Premium, luxury, full-size SUV, minivan, and convertible classes typically require the driver to be 25 or older
• Additional drivers aged 21 to 24 may also be subject to the surcharge or may not be accepted, depending on the brand. For Avis, Budget, and Payless, additional drivers are generally required to be at least 25
• All standard document and credit card requirements still apply regardless of age

If you are between 21 and 24 and from Latin America or the Caribbean, certain Hola Car Rentals rates with Avis or Budget at Salt Lake City Airport may waive the young-renter fee. Check your booking confirmation to see if the waiver is explicitly listed.

Returning a rental car at Salt Lake City Airport is straightforward. The return lanes are located in the same parking garage as the rental counters in the Gateway Center, directly behind the on-site brand counters.

Steps for returning your vehicle at Salt Lake City Airport:

• Follow the terminal signs directing you to the rental car return lanes in the garage
• Park the vehicle in the designated return area for your brand
• Lock the car and drop the keys at the customer service booth or key drop box
• A rental company employee will inspect the vehicle after you leave

Before returning, refuel the vehicle to the level recorded on your rental agreement (Full-to-Full policy). Refuel within approximately 10 miles of Salt Lake City Airport so the gauge does not drop before you reach the return area. Keep your fuel receipt as proof in case a fuel charge is disputed.

For after-hours returns at Salt Lake City Airport, place the keys in the drop box provided. Take a photo of the fuel gauge and odometer before leaving the vehicle. Your responsibility for the car ends once the keys are dropped, but the inspection will occur when the branch reopens.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your rental at Salt Lake City Airport, either as part of your booking or at the counter during pick-up.

Some Hola Car Rentals rates include one additional driver at no extra cost. Check your booking confirmation for the phrase additional driver included or additional driver free of charge. If it is not listed, a daily fee applies at the Salt Lake City Airport counter:

• Avis, Budget, and Payless: US$13 per day plus taxes, capped at US$65 plus taxes
• Hertz, Thrifty, and Dollar: US$13.50 per day plus taxes, capped at US$189 plus taxes
• Alamo, National, and Enterprise: US$15 per day plus taxes

Requirements for adding an additional driver at Salt Lake City Airport:

• The additional driver must be present at the counter at pick-up
• They must present a valid driver's license and any required IDP
• They must meet the minimum age requirement (21 at Salt Lake City Airport; 25 for additional drivers with Avis, Budget, and Payless)
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement

Only drivers listed on the rental agreement are covered by the rental protections. Anyone who drives the vehicle without being named on the contract may void coverage.

When renting a car at Salt Lake City Airport, there are two main types of protection to consider: coverage for the rental vehicle itself, and coverage for damage or injury you may cause to others.

Coverage for the rental vehicle (CDW or LDW) reduces your financial liability if the car is damaged or stolen. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation explicitly shows zero deductible. CDW and LDW do not cover third-party liability.

Third-party liability (LIS, ALI, or SLI) covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to other people or vehicles while driving. In Utah, not all rental companies are required to include state-minimum liability by default, so it is strongly recommended to add supplemental liability coverage when picking up at Salt Lake City Airport.

Common exclusions to be aware of at Salt Lake City Airport:

• Damage caused while driving under the influence or off-road
• Drivers not listed on the rental agreement
• Tires, wheels, undercarriage, and roof damage (often excluded unless a specific add-on is purchased)
• Incidents not reported promptly to the rental company

Review your booking confirmation to confirm which protections are included in your rate before arriving at Salt Lake City Airport.

Yes, most Hola Car Rentals bookings include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection, and this applies to rentals starting at Salt Lake City Airport.

This benefit is particularly relevant if you plan to drive into more remote areas of Utah after picking up at Salt Lake City Airport, where access to medical facilities or legal support may be limited.
