No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Alamo booking in Austin 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 Austin 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)

The Alamo rental facility in Austin is located at 3819 Presidential Blvd, Austin, TX 78719, which is an off-site consolidated Rental Car Facility serving Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS). There is no Alamo counter inside the Barbara Jordan Terminal itself.

To reach the Alamo counter after landing in Austin, you have two options:

• Walk: Exit the Barbara Jordan Terminal and use the marked pedestrian crosswalks across the garage to reach the Rental Car Facility directly.
• Shuttle: Follow the Ground Transportation signs to the dedicated Rental Car Shuttle pick-up area outside the terminal. Shuttles run frequently and the ride is short.

From baggage claim, allow roughly 30 to 60 minutes total to account for the shuttle or walk, queuing at the Alamo counter, completing paperwork, and inspecting your vehicle before driving away.

When collecting your Alamo vehicle in Austin, you must present all of the following physical documents at the counter:

• A valid, original driver's license in the main driver's name. If your license is not in English or uses a non-Latin alphabet (Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Cyrillic), you must also carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your original license.
• A major credit card with the main driver's name printed on the physical card, used for the security deposit hold. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted.
• A valid passport or government-issued photo ID.
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher.
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets (required for international visitors).

Digital documents are not accepted at the Alamo counter in Austin. Everything must be physical and original. If your license uses a non-Latin alphabet, obtain your IDP before traveling, as it cannot be issued abroad.

The IDP is a translation only and is invalid without your original license. Both must be presented together at the Alamo desk in Austin.

Austin has an extensive cashless toll network, and nearly all toll roads use overhead gantries that read transponders or photograph license plates. There are very few, if any, cash toll booths on Austin-area roads.

Your Alamo rental vehicle in Austin will already include an electronic toll device (transponder or plate-based billing). At the counter, you will typically be offered two options:

• Unlimited toll package: a flat daily rate of approximately US$11 to US$25 per rental day, covering all tolls during your rental period.
• Pay per use: you decline the package and the Alamo billing system charges you the actual toll amounts plus daily or administrative processing fees after your rental ends. These charges can appear days or even weeks after you return the vehicle.

Estimated daily toll costs in Austin range from approximately US$3 to US$15, depending on which routes you use. If you plan to drive frequently on toll expressways around Austin, the unlimited package may offer better value. For occasional use, pay-per-use may cost less overall.

Texas has no congestion charges or emissions zones, so the only road fees to plan for in Austin are standard tolls.

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 Austin.

Austin's toll roads are cashless and charges can accumulate across multiple gantries, so this benefit is worth claiming. Here is how it works:

• You pay tolls normally during your rental, either through the Alamo toll program or by other means.
• After returning the vehicle, email [email protected] within 30 days.
• Include your Hola Car Rentals reservation confirmation, the signed rental agreement from the Alamo counter in Austin, and a toll receipt or statement showing the charges paid.

The refund is the lesser of your actual toll costs or 5% of your booking total. For example, if your booking total is US$500, the cap is US$25. If you paid US$18 in Austin tolls, you receive US$18 back. If you paid US$40, you receive US$25.

Refunds are issued to the original payment method and typically process within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Submissions received after 30 days are not accepted.

When you pick up your Alamo vehicle in Austin, the counter will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card. This is not a charge; it reduces your available credit until the hold is released after you return the vehicle.

For Alamo rentals in the United States, including Austin, the typical hold is approximately US$300 to US$400 for standard vehicle classes. The exact amount can vary based on the vehicle category, rental duration, and the specific Austin location's policies. Premium or specialty vehicles may carry a higher hold.

Important requirements for the deposit at the Alamo counter in Austin:

• The card must be a major credit card (not debit or prepaid) with the main driver's name printed on the physical card.
• You must have sufficient available credit to cover the hold plus any expected charges.
• Digital wallets and virtual card numbers are not accepted.

After you return the Alamo vehicle in Austin, the hold is released. Your bank or card issuer controls how quickly it appears back on your account, which can take up to 15 business days. Bringing a backup credit card is always recommended in case your primary card is declined.

The minimum age to rent a car with Alamo in Austin without additional surcharges is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent but will be charged a daily young-renter surcharge at the Alamo counter in Austin, and most vehicle classes are restricted to drivers 25 and older.

Vehicle classes typically restricted to drivers 25 and older include Full Size, Full Size SUV, Standard, Minivan, Van, Convertible, Luxury, Premium, and Premium SUV. Drivers aged 21 to 24 are generally limited to Economy, Compact, Intermediate, and Intermediate SUV categories at the Alamo location in Austin.

The young-renter fee for Alamo in Austin is US$15 per day plus applicable taxes, paid at the counter. This fee is separate from your prepaid booking total.

Texas is not one of the states (New York or Michigan) that legally requires rentals to drivers under 21, so the minimum age at the Alamo Austin location is 21 for young renters and 25 for fee-free rentals. Drivers under 21 cannot rent.

All standard document and credit card requirements still apply regardless of age.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Alamo rental in Austin, either as part of your rate or by paying a fee at the counter.

For Alamo in Austin, the additional driver fee is US$15 per day plus applicable taxes when not included in your rate. Check your booking confirmation to see whether your rate includes one additional driver at no extra cost.

Requirements for adding an additional driver at the Alamo counter in Austin:

• The additional driver must be present at pick-up with a valid driver's license.
• If their license uses a non-Latin alphabet, they must also present an International Driving Permit.
• They must meet the minimum age requirements for Austin (21 minimum, 25 to avoid the young-renter surcharge).
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement.

Only drivers listed on the Alamo rental agreement in Austin are covered by protections such as CDW/LDW and liability coverage. Anyone who drives the vehicle without being named on the contract may void those protections and result in additional charges.

Alamo rentals in Austin 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.

Steps to follow for the fuel policy on your Alamo rental in Austin:

• At pick-up, check the fuel gauge with the Alamo agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on the rental agreement. Take a photo of the dashboard showing the gauge and odometer.
• During your rental, use the correct fuel type as specified in the vehicle documentation.
• Before returning the vehicle to the Alamo facility at 3819 Presidential Blvd in Austin, refuel within approximately 10 miles of the return location so the gauge does not drop below full.
• Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address.
• For after-hours returns, leave the receipt in the drop envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge.

If you return the Alamo vehicle in Austin with less than a full tank, 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. Returning full is always the most cost-effective option.

Yes, most bookings include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection, and this applies to Alamo rentals in Austin as well. However, this benefit does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada.

For eligible customers, the travel assistance included with your Alamo booking in Austin typically covers:

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

This coverage is useful if you experience a medical emergency or accident while driving in or around Austin. It does not cover damage to the Alamo rental vehicle itself (that is CDW/LDW) or liability to third parties (that is LIS/SLI).

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

Check your booking confirmation for the exact coverage terms and limits that apply to your specific Alamo reservation in Austin.

Yes, one-way rentals with Alamo are possible in Austin, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on your return location.

How one-way fees work for Alamo rentals starting in Austin:

• Same-city returns (for example, Austin airport to Austin downtown) often have no drop-off fee.
• Returns to another Texas city (for example, Austin to Dallas or Austin to Houston) typically carry a one-way fee that varies by distance and vehicle class.
• Long-distance or cross-state returns usually carry higher fees, and some routes may not be permitted.

The drop-off fee for your Alamo Austin rental will be shown during the booking process under the To Pay at Destination section on the details page. It cannot be prepaid and is paid at the Alamo counter in Austin at pick-up.

If you need to change your return location after booking, be aware that the route will be repriced and the drop-off fee may change. Mid-rental route changes must be approved by the Alamo partner location directly.

Always review your booking confirmation to confirm whether a one-way fee applies to your specific Austin itinerary before completing your reservation.

If your flight is delayed and you arrive later than your scheduled Alamo pickup time in Austin, the Alamo counter at the Austin-Bergstrom Airport facility will generally hold your reservation for up to 24 hours from the original pickup time.

What to expect depending on the delay length:

• Delay under 24 hours: Your Alamo booking in Austin should be held. Make sure you arrive during the counter's service hours, as after-hours availability is not guaranteed.
• Delay over 24 hours: Contact Hola Car Rentals support as soon as possible via WhatsApp at +1 (786) 999-8312 or by email at [email protected]. Changes are not guaranteed but the team will assist where possible.

If you miss the 24-hour window without contacting support, the Alamo reservation in Austin may be forfeited with no refund. It is always better to reach out proactively if you know your arrival will be significantly delayed.

Keep in mind that after landing at Austin-Bergstrom, you still need time to reach the Alamo facility at 3819 Presidential Blvd via shuttle or pedestrian crosswalk, so factor that into your arrival estimate.

No, Alamo in Austin does not accept debit cards or prepaid cards for the security deposit hold. A major credit card with the main driver's name printed on the physical card is required at the counter.

The credit card must meet all of the following conditions at the Alamo counter in Austin:

• It must be a major credit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or similar), not a debit card linked to a bank balance.
• The main driver's name must be printed on the physical card.
• The card must have sufficient available credit to cover the deposit hold, typically US$300 to US$400 for standard vehicles at Alamo in Austin.
• Virtual cards, single-use card numbers, and digital wallet payments are not accepted for the deposit.

Even if you prepaid your Alamo Austin booking in full online, you must still present a physical credit card at the counter for the security hold. The hold is a temporary authorization, not a charge, and is released after you return the vehicle. Your bank controls how quickly the funds become available again, which can take up to 15 business days.

Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined.

When picking up your Alamo vehicle in Austin, you will have the option to add or confirm insurance coverages at the counter. Understanding what each covers helps you avoid paying for duplicates or leaving gaps in protection.

The main coverage types available for Alamo rentals in Austin are:

• Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): reduces your financial liability for damage to the Alamo rental vehicle itself from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation states zero. This does not cover damage you cause to other vehicles or people.
• Third-Party Liability (LIS/SLI/ALI): covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving the Alamo vehicle in Austin. Some U.S. states require a minimum level of liability, but not all do. Adding supplemental liability up to US$300,000 is strongly recommended.

CDW/LDW and LIS/SLI are separate protections and both are recommended for complete coverage on Austin roads.

Check your booking confirmation to see which coverages are already included in your Alamo Austin rate before accepting additional products at the counter. Only named drivers on the rental agreement are covered by these protections.
