No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Dollar booking in the United States 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 Dollar 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 Dollar counter in the United States 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 Dollar 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)

To pick up a Dollar rental car in the United States, you must bring all of the following physical documents to the counter:

• A valid, original driver's license in the main driver's name
• A major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card, in the main driver's name, for the security deposit hold
• A valid passport or government-issued photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets if you are visiting from abroad

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 alongside your original license. For other non-English licenses, an IDP is strongly recommended. The IDP is a translation only and is not valid without your original license.

All documents must be physical. Digital copies shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted at the Dollar counter in the United States.

Yes, Dollar requires a physical major credit card in the main driver's name at pickup for the security deposit hold in the United States.

The card must have the driver's name printed on it and must have sufficient available credit to cover the hold. Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual or digital-wallet-only cards are not accepted for the deposit at Dollar locations across the United States.

At most Dollar locations in the United States, the typical security hold for a standard vehicle is approximately US$300 to US$400. This is a temporary authorization, not a charge, and it reduces your available credit until your bank releases it after the rental ends. Banks can take up to 15 business days to post the release.

Even if you prepaid your booking in full, you must still present a physical credit card at the Dollar counter in the United States. Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined, and notify your bank of your travel dates to prevent fraud blocks on the authorization.

Toll roads across the United States are almost entirely cashless, and your Dollar rental vehicle will come equipped with an electronic toll device or be enrolled in a plate-based billing system.

At the Dollar counter in the United States, you have two options:

• Purchase an unlimited toll package, which typically costs between US$11 and US$25 per rental day depending on location, covering all tolls during the rental period
• Decline the package and pay per use, in which case Dollar will charge the actual toll amount plus administrative or processing fees to your credit card, sometimes weeks after the rental ends

Toll systems vary by region across the United States. Common systems include E-ZPass in the Northeast and Midwest, FasTrak in California, TollTag and TxTag in Texas, and SunPass in Florida. All of these operate electronically, and your Dollar vehicle is recognized automatically at toll gantries.

If you opt out of the Dollar toll program, you may pay some tolls directly through the toll agency's website or app within the allowed window to avoid processing fees. Always review the rental agreement before signing to understand the daily cap and fee structure that applies at your specific Dollar location in the United States.

Yes, all bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include Tolls Cashback, which lets you recover up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your Dollar rental in the United States.

Because toll roads are widespread across the United States, including cashless highways in California, Texas, Florida, New York, and the Chicago area, this benefit can add up meaningfully on longer trips.

To claim your cashback after returning your Dollar vehicle in the United States:

• Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle
• Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback - HOLA followed by your confirmation number
• Attach your Hola Car Rentals reservation confirmation, the signed rental agreement, and a toll receipt or statement showing charges paid during the rental period

The refund is issued to the same payment method used for your booking and typically processes within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Claims submitted after 30 days are not accepted. Note that Tolls Cashback reimburses tolls you already paid; it does not mean tolls are included in your Dollar booking rate.

The minimum age to rent a Dollar car in the United States without a surcharge is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent but will be charged a daily young-renter surcharge, and most vehicle classes are restricted to drivers 25 and older.

Two states have different rules:

• New York: Dollar and other rental companies are required by state law to rent to licensed drivers aged 18 and older, though a young-renter surcharge still applies
• Michigan: Similar public-accommodations law requires rentals to drivers 18 and older, with a surcharge

For drivers aged 21 to 24 at Dollar locations across the United States, the vehicle classes typically available are Economy, Compact, and Intermediate sedans or SUVs. Classes such as Full Size, Standard, Minivan, Van, Luxury, Premium, and Convertible are generally restricted to drivers 25 and older.

The young-renter surcharge at Dollar in the United States is approximately US$13.50 per rental day, with a maximum charge of US$189. Always confirm the exact surcharge amount on your booking confirmation, as it can vary by location.

Yes, Dollar supports one-way rentals across more than 10,000 locations in the United States, so you can pick up at one city or airport and return to a different one.

A drop-off fee may apply depending on the route. This fee is set by Dollar and varies based on the cities involved, the distance, the season, and the vehicle class. The fee is not included in your prepaid rate and is due at the counter at the end of the rental.

When booking through Hola Car Rentals, the drop-off fee for your Dollar one-way rental in the United States will be shown on the rate details page under the section labeled as charges due at destination. Review this before confirming your booking.

Some route combinations within the same metro area, such as an airport location and a nearby downtown Dollar counter, may carry no drop-off fee at all. Cross-country or remote routes tend to carry higher fees. If you change your return location after booking, the fee may be recalculated and could increase.

Dollar rentals in the United States follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy by default. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid fuel charges.

At pickup, check the fuel gauge with the Dollar agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on the rental agreement. Take a photo of the dashboard showing the gauge and odometer before leaving the lot.

When returning your Dollar vehicle at any United States location:

• Refuel within approximately 10 miles or 15 kilometers of the return location so the gauge does not drop below full before you arrive
• Keep the fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address
• Show the full gauge to the agent or leave the receipt in the key-drop envelope for after-hours returns

If you return the vehicle below the recorded starting level, Dollar may charge a fuel shortfall at their own refueling rate, which is typically higher than retail pump prices, plus an administrative service fee. Using the correct fuel type is also important, as wrong-fuel incidents are not covered by the fuel policy and may generate additional charges.

Travel assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection is included with most Hola Car Rentals bookings, but there is an important exception: this benefit does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada.

If you are visiting the United States from another country and renting a Dollar vehicle, your booking may include:

• Travel insurance with medical coverage for up to 5 passengers
• Legal assistance in the event of an accident
• Compensation for luggage lost by the airline
• Flight cancellation insurance

This coverage is designed for travelers who are abroad, which applies to international visitors renting a Dollar car in the United States. It does not replace CDW or liability insurance for the rental vehicle itself.

If you need assistance during your Dollar rental in the United States, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day at +1 888 980 9992 or via WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready. Always check your booking confirmation for the exact coverage terms and limits that apply to your specific reservation.

Adding an additional driver to a Dollar rental in the United States costs approximately US$13.50 per rental day, with a maximum charge of US$189 for the rental period. This fee is paid at the Dollar counter and is subject to local taxes.

Some Hola Car Rentals rate plans include one additional driver at no extra cost. Check your booking confirmation for the line that reads additional driver free of charge before arriving at the Dollar counter in the United States.

Requirements for adding an additional driver at any Dollar location in the United States:

• The additional driver must be present at pickup with a valid driver's license
• They must meet the minimum age requirements for the rental location
• An IDP may be required if their license uses a non-Latin alphabet
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement

Only drivers listed on the Dollar rental agreement in the United States are covered by protections such as CDW and liability coverage. Anyone who drives the vehicle without being named on the contract may void those protections entirely.

Toll costs vary significantly by region when driving a Dollar rental across the United States. Here are typical ranges on some of the most common routes:

• San Francisco Bay Bridge: approximately US$8.50 for a two-axle vehicle, rising by US$0.50 per year through 2030
• Southern California SR-91 Express Lanes in Orange County: approximately US$3.25 to US$28.10 depending on direction and time of day
• Southern California SR-133: approximately US$2.04 to US$7.59 depending on distance traveled
• Dallas North Tollway in Texas: approximately US$0.28 to US$5.44 with a transponder, or US$0.53 to US$8.16 via plate billing
• Chisholm Trail Parkway in Fort Worth: approximately US$0.32 to US$12.74 with a transponder
• Austin US 183: approximately US$0.65 to US$3.72 plus a US$1.00 plate billing fee

Dynamic pricing applies on some express lanes, meaning tolls rise during peak hours. Your Dollar vehicle in the United States is recognized automatically at cashless gantries. If you use the Dollar toll program, a daily fee of approximately US$9.99 covers the transponder and tolls at standard rates. Always review the rental agreement at the Dollar counter to understand the exact program terms for your location.

When renting a Dollar car in the United States, two main types of coverage are relevant to most renters:

• Collision Damage Waiver or Loss Damage Waiver (CDW/LDW): reduces your financial liability for damage to the Dollar vehicle from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation shows zero deductible. CDW/LDW does not cover damage to other vehicles or injuries to other people.
• Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI): covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving the Dollar rental. Some states in the United States require rental companies to include a state-minimum liability amount, but not all states do. Hola Car Rentals strongly recommends adding supplemental liability coverage of up to US$300,000 for any Dollar rental in the United States.

These two coverages work together: CDW/LDW protects the Dollar vehicle itself, while LIS/ALI/SLI protects you against claims from third parties. Neither covers your personal injuries (that requires PAI) or your belongings (that requires PEC).

Always confirm which coverages are included in your rate on the Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation before arriving at the Dollar counter in the United States.

Dollar operates rental counters at many of the busiest airports across the United States, including Miami International, Los Angeles International, San Francisco International, Orlando International, Denver International, Washington DC Reagan National, Cleveland Hopkins International, and several others in Ohio, California, Florida, Colorado, and beyond.

At most large United States airports, Dollar is located either inside the terminal or at a consolidated Rental Car Center (RCC) that is reached by a dedicated shuttle bus or automated people mover. To find your Dollar counter:

• Check your booking confirmation for the specific pickup address or terminal instructions
• Follow car rental signs inside the terminal toward the rental car area or shuttle stop
• At airports with an off-site RCC, board the rental car shuttle at the marked stop outside baggage claim

Dollar also offers online check-in at select United States airports including San Francisco (SFO), Seattle-Tacoma (SEA), San Jose (SJC), and Baltimore/Washington (BWI), which can speed up the counter process. Dollar also has non-airport downtown locations in several United States cities for renters not arriving by plane. Confirm the exact address and hours for your pickup location on your booking confirmation before traveling.

Yes, drivers aged 21 to 24 from Latin America or the Caribbean may be eligible to have the young-renter surcharge waived on certain Dollar-group rentals in the United States, but only under specific conditions.

Dollar in the United States is part of the Hertz brand family. The underage fee waiver for Latin American and Caribbean travelers applies specifically to Avis and Budget reservations made through Hola Car Rentals, not to Dollar directly. For a Dollar rental in the United States, the standard young-renter surcharge of approximately US$13.50 per day (maximum US$189) will apply to drivers aged 21 to 24.

If you are 21 to 24 and want to avoid the underage fee in the United States, consider checking whether an Avis or Budget rate through Hola Car Rentals shows the waiver on the confirmation. For a Dollar rental in the United States, plan for the surcharge and select an eligible vehicle class:

• Economy, Compact, and Intermediate sedans or SUVs are typically available to under-25 drivers
• Full Size, Luxury, Premium, Minivan, and Van classes are generally restricted to drivers 25 and older

Always verify the exact surcharge and class restrictions on your Dollar booking confirmation for your specific United States pickup location.
