All of this comes at no extra cost, ensuring a fully protected Alamo rental experience and peace of mind throughout your trip in the United States.

No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Alamo 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 Alamo 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 Alamo 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 Alamo 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 your Alamo rental car in the United States, you must bring 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 (debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit)
• A passport or valid government-issued photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets (required for visitors from abroad)

If your driver's license uses a non-Latin alphabet such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory. For licenses in other non-English scripts, an IDP is strongly recommended. The IDP is a translation only and must be carried alongside your original license.

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

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

At most Alamo locations across the United States, the typical hold is approximately US$300 to US$400 for a standard vehicle. 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.

• Debit cards are not accepted for the deposit hold
• Prepaid or virtual cards are not accepted
• The card must be physically present and have the driver's name printed on it
• The name on the card must match the main driver on the rental agreement

It is a good idea to bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined. If you are traveling internationally to the United States, notify your bank before arrival to prevent fraud blocks on in-person authorizations at the Alamo counter.

Toll roads in the United States are almost entirely cashless, and your Alamo rental vehicle comes pre-equipped with an electronic toll device or is registered for plate-based billing. There are very few cash toll booths remaining across the country.

At the Alamo counter in the United States, you will typically be offered two options:

• An unlimited toll package, usually costing between US$11 and US$25 per day depending on the location, which covers all tolls during the rental
• A pay-per-use arrangement, where Alamo charges you the actual toll amount plus an administrative or processing fee per day tolls are used (typically around US$3.95 per day, up to US$19.75 per rental)

Major toll systems you may encounter include E-ZPass in the Northeast and Chicago area, FasTrak in California, TollTag and TxTag in Texas, and SunPass in Florida. Toll charges are often billed days or even weeks after the rental ends, so do not be surprised if a charge appears on your card after you have returned the vehicle.

If you prefer to opt out of the Alamo toll program, inform the counter agent at pickup and ask them to deactivate the vehicle's default toll device to avoid duplicate charges if you use your own pass.

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 Alamo rental in the United States.

Given how widespread cashless toll roads are across the United States, including systems like E-ZPass in the Northeast, FasTrak in California, and TxTag in Texas, toll costs can add up quickly. This benefit helps offset those expenses.

To claim your cashback after returning your Alamo vehicle:

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

The refund is issued to the same payment method used for your original booking and typically processes within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Claims submitted after 30 days are not accepted. Note that this benefit covers toll charges only, not administrative fees, fines, or penalties.

The minimum age to rent with Alamo in the United States without a young-renter surcharge is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent but will be charged a daily underage fee at the counter.

Two states are exceptions to the standard rule:

• New York: Alamo 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: State law similarly requires rentals to drivers 18 and older, with a surcharge

In most other states, the minimum age at Alamo locations is 21 to 24 with a surcharge, and 25 without one. Vehicle class restrictions also apply: categories such as full-size SUVs, minivans, luxury, and premium vehicles are generally restricted to drivers aged 25 and older at Alamo counters across the United States.

Regardless of age, all renters must present a valid driver's license and a major credit card in their name for the security deposit. If your license uses a non-Latin alphabet, an International Driving Permit is also required.

Yes, Alamo offers touch-screen self-service kiosks at many airport locations across the United States, allowing you to skip the main counter line and get to your vehicle faster.

Here is how the kiosk process typically works at Alamo locations in the United States:

• Use the kiosk to print your rental agreement and receive your vehicle assignment
• Proceed directly to the vehicle in the garage or lot
• Show your driver's license and rental agreement at the exit booth before leaving

Alamo also offers Accelerated Check-In online, where you can pre-enter your license and contact information before arriving at the United States pickup location, making the counter process faster even if you do use an agent.

Keep in mind that digital driver's licenses are not accepted at Alamo counters in the United States. You must present a physical, original driver's license at either the kiosk or the exit booth. If you have an International Driving Permit requirement, you will still need to present it alongside your original license.

Yes, Alamo offers one-way rentals across the United States, allowing you to pick up in one city and return to a different location.

With over 249 Alamo locations across the United States, primarily at major airports, one-way options are widely available between most major cities. However, a drop-off fee may apply depending on the route, distance, and vehicle class.

• Same-city airport to downtown routes often have no drop-off fee
• Routes between different cities or states typically carry a drop-off fee
• Long-distance or remote routes may have higher fees or limited availability
• Premium and large SUV classes may carry stricter one-way restrictions

The drop-off fee for your specific Alamo route in the United States will be shown during the booking process under the section labeled as charges due at the destination. It is not included in the prepaid rate and cannot be prepaid. Always review your booking confirmation to verify whether a one-way fee applies before you travel.

If you need to change your return location after booking, contact support as soon as possible, since mid-rental route changes must be approved by the Alamo partner location and may result in repricing.

Yes, after-hours returns are available at most Alamo airport locations in the United States, though the process varies by location.

The general after-hours return process at Alamo in the United States works as follows:

• Follow Alamo or National signage to the rental car return area at the airport
• Park the vehicle in the designated after-hours return area as directed by signage or your confirmation
• Drop the keys in the designated key drop box, typically located near the facility entrance
• Keep a photo of the fuel gauge and odometer before leaving the vehicle

Your booking confirmation will include specific after-hours return instructions for your Alamo location. It is important to review these before your return date, as procedures differ between airports. For example, some consolidated rental car facilities have key drop boxes near escalators or facility entrances, while a small number of locations do not offer after-hours returns at all.

Note that liability for the vehicle may continue until Alamo formally checks it in during business hours. Returning the car with a full tank and documenting the condition with photos protects you against any post-rental fuel or damage disputes.

When renting with Alamo in the United States, there are two main types of protection to consider: coverage for the rental vehicle itself and coverage for third-party liability.

Coverage for the rental vehicle:

• Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) reduces your financial liability if the Alamo vehicle is damaged or stolen. A deductible may apply unless your plan explicitly states zero
• CDW and LDW do not cover damage to other vehicles or injuries to other people

Third-party liability coverage:

• Liability Insurance Supplement (LIS) or Supplemental Liability Insurance (SLI) protects you against bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving the Alamo rental in the United States
• Not all United States states require rental companies to include minimum liability, so coverage levels can vary by location
• Hola Car Rentals strongly recommends adding liability coverage up to US$300,000 for rentals in the United States

Your booking confirmation will show which protections are included in your selected rate. Always verify the deductible amount and any exclusions on the rental agreement at the Alamo counter before signing.

Yes, Alamo charges a fee for additional drivers in the United States unless your booking confirmation explicitly states that an additional driver is included at no charge.

When the additional driver fee applies at Alamo locations in the United States, the standard rate is US$15 per day plus applicable taxes. This fee is paid directly at the Alamo counter and is not part of your prepaid booking total.

• Only the first additional driver may be included, depending on your rate
• Any further drivers beyond the first will incur the daily fee
• The additional driver must be present at pickup with a valid driver's license
• If the additional driver's license uses a non-Latin alphabet, an International Driving Permit is also required
• The additional driver must meet the same minimum age requirements as the main driver

Only drivers listed on the Alamo rental agreement in the United States are covered by the vehicle's protections such as CDW and LDW. Anyone who drives the car without being named on the contract may void those coverages. Always add every driver at the counter before leaving the pickup location.

Alamo uses a Full-to-Full fuel policy at its locations across the United States. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.

To avoid fuel charges on your Alamo rental in the United States:

• Check the fuel gauge with the agent at pickup and confirm the starting level is recorded on the rental agreement
• Take a photo of the dashboard showing the gauge and odometer at pickup
• Refuel within approximately 10 miles or 15 kilometers of the return location so the gauge does not drop before you arrive
• Keep the fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address
• Show the gauge at full when returning the vehicle

If you return the Alamo vehicle below the recorded starting level in the United States, you may be charged for the fuel shortfall at the partner's refueling rate, which is typically higher than retail pump prices, plus a refueling service fee. For after-hours returns, leave the receipt in the key envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge as documentation.

Some Alamo counter locations in the United States may offer an optional prepaid fuel plan. If you accept it, any unused fuel is generally non-refundable.

Travel assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection is included with most Hola Car Rentals bookings, but there is an important limitation: 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 through Alamo, the travel assistance coverage typically includes:

• Medical coverage for up to 5 passengers for accidents and non-pre-existing illnesses
• Legal assistance in the event of an accident
• Compensation for luggage lost by the airline
• Flight cancellation insurance

This can be particularly relevant when driving long distances across the United States, where an incident on a remote highway or interstate far from a major city could require emergency medical or legal support.

To reach the assistance line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, call +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free) or contact via WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call.

This coverage does not replace CDW or LDW for the Alamo vehicle, nor does it cover third-party liability. Check your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your reservation.

Alamo rentals in the United States follow a specific cancellation policy that differs from other rental partners available through Hola Car Rentals.

For prepaid Alamo bookings in the United States, the cancellation fee is capped at US$100, which is notably lower than the National average cancellation fee of approximately US$400 charged by some other brands. This makes Alamo a lower-risk option if your travel plans are uncertain.

Key points to keep in mind:

• Cancellations made within 48 hours of the pickup time may be subject to a fee even on flexible rates
• No-show fees also apply if you do not cancel and simply do not appear at the Alamo counter in the United States
• The exact cancellation terms for your specific booking are shown on your booking confirmation

If you need to modify your Alamo reservation in the United States, such as changing the pickup date, time, or location, repricing may apply based on current availability. Changes are not guaranteed and should be requested as early as possible. Contact Hola Car Rentals support via WhatsApp at +1 (786) 999-8312 or email [email protected] if you need assistance managing your reservation.
