Holger Pfarr
"By far cheaper than all rental car offers."
Sharon Radford
"Quick and easy"
Bill Harshbarger
"I really liked the reservation screen for pickup times...side by side let's you easy match pick-up drop off.
The vehicles were the best price (discounted prices for European travelers in the US at thus writing), otherwise rental car prices are rather high these days.
Insurance is about peace of mind. Hola is over the top covering many of those extras the agent wants you to buy.
And toll coverage up to 5%. Super. Without human attendants anymore, it's complicated in the Bay Area and particularly expensive in Miami (!) Auto companies see it as an opportunity to sell you lots of Toll coverage.
Finally, what I did not notice was, "not knowing what I was renting" which is often noticed just before you press 'book'. The question did not enter my mind, that's a good thing.
Their AI agent, perfectly better. Very good advice.
And I did have the need to cancel and rebook. With the app, effective and bug free. One refund was credited in a hour. Another may take a few days, but will post. Also the app will display prices in the currency you select.
Looking forward to booking with Hola again"

"This is not the first time we’ve rented cars through Hola, and each time we’re absolutely satisfied! Their service is excellent — always available, providing immediate responses, quickly solving any issues with kindness, and handling everything directly with the rental companies when needed.
Even when a refund was required, they took care of it fully without any hassle. The personal, reliable, and professional approach makes all the difference.
A fantastic experience every time, and I’ll definitely keep renting through them and highly recommend them to everyone"

"Searching for two weeks car hire in Florida. Hola were very competitive against the group I wanted to book, the website was easy to use and confirmation received immediately"
Dwight Thompson
"The experience was excellent, fast and easy with the least effort required to chose a car. From past experience the counter experience was favourable at Budget Miami Airport with no issues. This was the first time an agent at a rental desk did not try to sell me additional insurance or toll pass.
My only concerns for this booking was the price gap was too high for standard cars compared to the basic cars."
Steve Hornby
"Very easy to book
Very easy to pay
And the best deal I could find by quite a long way
Added price of mind was the 4.8 stars on trust pilot with 3000+ ratings"
mandy hughes
"Unfortunately I had to cancel my booking with Hola Car Rentals for personal reasons. I was assisted by the Sales Manager Karen to do this. After completing the cancellation efficiently and promptly she went above and beyond to help me with several additional questions I had. Based on my experience I would highly recommend Hola Car Rentals Customer service and would definitely use them again. Their rental prices were very competitive too."
Natalia Vazquez Sotelo
"I highly recommend Hola Car for their excellent service and great price. We arrived many hours late and were worried, but they answered all my questions immediately, even though it was a Sunday. Thank you so much for your help!"
Chris Burnham
"great prices easy to book definitely use again"
constanza cecchi
"The app is great and reliable. Although they try to add extra insurance when you arrive to pick up the car, you just have to insist and say no. Otherwise, everything is fine."
Alejandro Arenal
"Hola is amazing, has everything you need.
Thanks"

"Good car and price"
Wheeling and dealing Uk
"Cheap and easy to use covers all insurances etc seems to have been made easy"
차Mihye
"As a Korean, I used the app to rent a car in California. The Dollar Rent-a-Car employee at the San Francisco branch was rude and insisted I purchase additional insurance ($25 per day) because the insurance I purchased through the Hola app was inadequate. However, Hola insisted that the full coverage policy applied and helped me cancel the additional insurance I had purchased at the Dollar Rent-a-Car location. I'm satisfied with Hola's customer service, but I think the Dollar Rent-a-Car employee's practice of selling additional insurance needs to be addressed."

Renting a car through them is a guarantee."

Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly do I pick up a rental car after landing at Anchorage (ANC), and how far is it from baggage claim?
At Anchorage International Airport, most rental car companies are conveniently located in a consolidated Rental Car Center. This facility is directly connected to the South (Domestic) Terminal, making it a short and easy indoor walk after you collect your luggage from the baggage claim carousels. If you arrive at the North (International) Terminal, a complimentary airport shuttle runs continuously between the terminals and the Rental Car Center. Clear signage throughout the airport will guide you to the correct location.
If my flight arrives close to midnight at ANC, what should I expect for getting to the rental car area and getting on the road?
Arriving late at ANC is generally a smooth process as the airport and its Rental Car Center operate around the clock to accommodate flights. While the airport will be much quieter, the rental counters are staffed and prepared for late arrivals. The pickup procedure remains the same, though you will likely experience shorter lines. Before leaving the rental lot, it's a good idea to enter your hotel or first destination into your GPS to ensure a confident start to your drive in the dark.
How long does it typically take to go from deplaning at ANC to driving out of the airport in summer versus winter?
The time from deplaning to driving away can vary significantly by season. In the peak summer months, you should plan for a longer process due to higher passenger volumes, which can lead to more time spent waiting for baggage and in line at the rental counter. In winter, the airport is generally less crowded, potentially speeding up the indoor process. However, you might spend a few extra minutes warming up the vehicle and clearing any snow or ice before you can safely depart.
What’s the easiest way to avoid getting turned around on the airport roads when leaving ANC for the first time?
The key to a smooth exit from ANC is preparation and moving deliberately. Before you even start the car, take a moment to pull up your destination on a GPS app and review the initial turn-by-turn directions. The airport has clear signage for major routes leading to Anchorage, Seward, or the Parks Highway. Following the overhead signs for "Anchorage/Seward" will put you on International Airport Road, the main artery leading away from the airport complex, which simplifies the initial navigation.
If I’m staying downtown Anchorage, what’s the most straightforward route from ANC that avoids confusing merges?
The drive from ANC to downtown Anchorage is quite direct and well-signed, making it easy for first-time visitors. From the rental facility, you will exit onto International Airport Road. Continue on this road until you can make a left turn onto Minnesota Drive. From Minnesota Drive, you can then take a right onto one of the numbered avenues, such as 6th Avenue, which will lead you directly into the heart of the downtown area. This route primarily involves simple turns rather than complex highway interchanges.
How do I plan a quick first stop after picking up my car at ANC to set up GPS, adjust car seats, and reorganize luggage?
A great strategy is to make a planned stop just a few minutes away from the airport grounds. Instead of trying to get organized in the busy rental car return area, drive to a nearby gas station or the large parking lot of a supermarket or retail store. These locations provide ample space and a low-pressure environment. Here, you can safely take the time you need to fine-tune your navigation, properly install child seats, and arrange your luggage for the journey ahead.
What should I check on the vehicle at ANC before driving off if I’m heading straight to a long-distance Alaska road trip?
Before embarking on a long Alaska road trip, a thorough vehicle inspection at the rental lot is crucial. Do a complete walk-around to note any pre-existing scratches or dings. Check the tires for proper inflation and good tread, and confirm the location of the spare tire and jack. It's also wise to test the headlights, turn signals, and windshield wipers to ensure they are all in working order. This quick check provides peace of mind before you head into more remote areas.
If I’m traveling with kids, where’s the best place near ANC to install car seats without feeling rushed?
For a stress-free car seat installation, it's best to leave the immediate airport area. Drive a short distance to a large, open parking lot, such as one found at a nearby park or a large retail center like those in the Dimond Center area. This gives you plenty of room to open doors fully and work without the pressure of other travelers waiting for a parking spot. Taking this extra ten minutes ensures you can install the seats correctly and safely before starting your Alaska adventure.
How does road construction season around Anchorage affect the first hour of driving after leaving ANC?
Summer in Alaska is road construction season, which can impact travel times, especially when leaving the airport. Major arteries like the Seward Highway and Glenn Highway often have lane closures or detours. Before you leave the rental car lot, it's a smart idea to check a real-time traffic app or the Alaska 511 website for any reported delays. Factoring in an extra 20-30 minutes for your initial drive during peak summer months can help reduce stress and ensure you reach your destination on time.
What’s the most reliable way to plan my drive time from ANC to Girdwood when traffic and weather can change quickly?
To reliably plan your drive to Girdwood, always check current conditions right before you depart from ANC. The Seward Highway is scenic but susceptible to delays from traffic, accidents, or sudden weather changes. Use the Alaska 511 website or app for the most up-to-date road reports and camera views. It's also wise to build a buffer into your schedule, especially on a Friday or Saturday afternoon in the summer when traffic heading south is heaviest.
If I’m driving from ANC to Seward the same day I arrive, what time of day usually makes that drive feel less stressful?
For a more relaxed drive from Anchorage to Seward on your arrival day, aim to leave the airport by late morning or early afternoon. This timing helps you avoid any lingering morning commuter traffic and provides ample daylight to enjoy the stunning scenery along the Seward Highway. A mid-day departure allows for leisurely stops at scenic viewpoints without the pressure of racing against sunset. You'll arrive in Seward in the late afternoon or early evening, perfect for checking into your lodging and finding dinner.
What should I know about driving the Seward Highway right after picking up a car at ANC if I’m not used to mountain roads?
The Seward Highway is a world-class scenic byway, but it requires attentive driving. The road features numerous curves, changing speed limits, and sections that run alongside steep mountains and the ocean. If you're not accustomed to such roads, the most important things are to maintain a safe speed and be mindful of other drivers. Use the designated pullouts to let faster traffic pass and to stop for photos, as stopping in the travel lane is extremely dangerous.
How do I handle scenic pullouts and photo stops on the Seward Highway without creating unsafe situations?
Safely enjoying the scenic pullouts on the Seward Highway is all about planning ahead. Watch for the blue signs indicating an upcoming viewpoint and use your turn signal well in advance to alert drivers behind you. Decelerate smoothly rather than braking abruptly. When re-entering traffic, wait for a safe gap and accelerate fully in the merge lane if one is provided. Never stop in the road itself, even if a view is tempting, as this can cause serious accidents.
If my plan is to go from ANC to Whittier for a cruise or glacier tour, what do I need to know about timing the tunnel?
The drive to Whittier involves passing through the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel, which is a single-lane tunnel shared by cars and trains. Traffic flow is strictly controlled by a schedule, with the tunnel opening for travel in one direction at a time, typically once per hour. It is absolutely essential to check the official tunnel schedule online for your specific date of travel and plan your departure from Anchorage to arrive at the staging area well before the scheduled opening for your direction.
If I’m headed from ANC to Talkeetna, what should I expect in terms of road conditions and services along the way?
The drive from Anchorage to Talkeetna is primarily on the Parks Highway, which is a well-maintained, paved road. The route is straightforward, taking you through the towns of Wasilla and Willow. You will find plenty of gas stations, grocery stores, and restaurants in Anchorage and Wasilla. However, services become more sparse north of Willow, so it's a good practice to ensure you have a full tank of gas and any necessary supplies before you pass through the more populated areas.
