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

The Alamo counter at Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) is located on the baggage claim level inside the terminal. After collecting your luggage, follow the car hire signs to the Alamo desk, where an agent will finalise your agreement and hand over the keys.

Alamo also supports Accelerated Check-in at CVG, which lets you provide your licence and contact details online before arrival. If you have completed that step, you may be able to use a touch-screen kiosk to print your agreement and proceed directly to the vehicle, skipping the counter line entirely.

For after-hours returns at CVG, park in the designated return area and drop your keys in the dropbox. Do not leave keys inside the vehicle.

At Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF) in Kentucky, the Alamo counter is located on the lower level near baggage claim C, at 600 Terminal Dr, Suite 8. After collecting your bags, take the elevator or stairs to the lower level and follow the car hire signs towards baggage claim C.

Like other Alamo locations in Kentucky, SDF supports Accelerated Check-in, allowing you to pre-register your licence and contact information online to speed up the process at the counter.

For after-hours returns, Alamo at SDF asks you to park in the designated return area in the garage and place your keys in the dropbox located there. Keep a photo of the vehicle condition and your fuel receipt for your records.

At Lexington Blue Grass Airport (LEX) in Kentucky, the Alamo counter is inside the terminal, next to baggage claim. The hire vehicles are within walking distance of the terminal, so no shuttle is required.

Alamo at LEX supports both Accelerated Check-in and touch-screen kiosks. If you pre-register your details online before arriving, you can use the kiosk to print your hire agreement and walk directly to your vehicle without waiting at the counter.

For after-hours returns, park in the designated Alamo return area and drop your keys in the dropbox. Do not leave keys inside the car. Alamo operates airport-only locations in Kentucky, so LEX, CVG, and SDF are the three sites available in the state.

Kentucky uses a fully cashless toll system, meaning there are no toll booths and traffic flows without stopping. Tolls are collected electronically via licence plate photography at toll plazas. The main toll system in Kentucky is RiverLink, which operates on the bridges connecting Louisville and Southern Indiana, including the John F. Kennedy Memorial, Abraham Lincoln, and Lewis and Clark bridges.

For Alamo hires in Kentucky, the standard option is the TollPass Service, a pay-per-use programme that works as follows:

• A daily convenience charge of US$4.95 applies only on days you actually use a toll road, with a maximum of US$30 to US$34.65 per hire period
• Actual toll amounts are charged at the higher of the video toll rate, cash toll rate, or highest undiscounted rate
• Charges are billed to your card on file approximately 4 to 6 weeks after the toll data is received from the toll authority

If you prefer to avoid the TollPass convenience charge, you may use your own personally owned transponder (confirm coverage with your issuer) or the NextPass app, which lets you add the hire vehicle's licence plate directly.

If you drive through a toll without enrolling in any programme, the hire company will still receive the invoice and may pass on fines and additional fees beyond the original toll amount.

To pick up an Alamo hire car in Kentucky, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:

• A valid, unexpired driver’s licence (original, not digital) 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 passport or valid 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 licence 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 licence. For licences in English or using a Latin alphabet, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required.

Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit at Alamo locations in Kentucky. All documents must be physical originals; digital versions will not be accepted at the counter.

Yes, all Hola Car Rentals bookings for Alamo in Kentucky include Tolls Cashback, which reimburses up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your hire.

This is especially useful in Kentucky because the RiverLink system on the Louisville bridges and other cashless toll roads charge electronically, and those costs can add up over a multi-day hire. To claim your cashback after returning the vehicle:

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

The refund is issued to the same payment method used for your booking and typically processes within 7 to 10 working days after approval. Late submissions received after 30 days are not accepted. This benefit does not mean tolls are included in your Alamo hire; you still pay tolls normally and claim reimbursement afterwards.

The minimum age to hire a car with Alamo in Kentucky is 21 years old. Renters between 21 and 24 are considered young renters and will be charged a daily young-renter surcharge at the counter in addition to the base hire rate.

Renters aged 25 and older are not subject to any underage fee. Kentucky does not have the same state-law exceptions as New York or Michigan, so the standard Alamo policy applies at all three Kentucky airport locations: CVG, LEX, and SDF.

Additional restrictions to keep in mind for young renters at Alamo in Kentucky:

• Many vehicle classes are restricted to renters aged 25 and older, including full-size, SUV, minivan, luxury, and premium categories
• Young renters are generally limited to economy, compact, and intermediate vehicle classes
• All renters, regardless of age, must present a valid driver’s licence and a major credit card in their name for the security deposit

When you pick up your Alamo hire car in Kentucky, the counter agent will place a temporary authorisation hold on your credit card. This is not a charge; it reduces your available credit until the hire is closed and your bank releases the hold.

For standard vehicles at Alamo locations in Kentucky, the typical hold is approximately US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount can vary by vehicle class, season, and specific airport location. Premium or speciality vehicles may carry a higher hold.

Important requirements for the deposit at Alamo in Kentucky:

• You must present a physical, major credit card with the driver’s name printed on the card
• The card must be in the main driver’s name
• Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security hold
• Digital wallets and virtual card numbers are also not accepted

After you return the vehicle, Alamo releases the hold. Your bank or card issuer controls when the funds become available again, which can take up to 15 working days. Bringing a backup credit card is always advisable in case your primary card is declined.

Alamo hires in Kentucky do not automatically include full insurance coverage in every rate. What is covered depends on the specific rate plan you select when booking through Hola Car Rentals.

The two main types of protection to understand are:

• Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): reduces your financial liability for damage to the Alamo hire vehicle itself, subject to any applicable excess shown on your confirmation
• Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI): covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to other people or vehicles while driving in Kentucky; this is separate from CDW and must be confirmed on your hire agreement

CDW and LDW do not cover third-party liability, your personal injuries, or your belongings. Some U.S. states require hire companies to include a state-minimum liability amount, but not all states do, so always verify what is included on your Alamo hire agreement at the Kentucky counter.

Review your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation before pickup to confirm which protections are included and whether a deductible applies.

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

For Alamo in Kentucky, the additional driver fee is US$15 per day plus applicable taxes when not included in your rate. Check your Hola Car Rentals confirmation before pickup to see if an additional driver is already included at no extra cost.

Requirements for adding an additional driver at any Alamo location in Kentucky:

• The additional driver must be present at the counter at the time of pickup
• They must present a valid, unexpired driver’s licence
• They must meet the minimum age requirement of 21 years old; a young-renter surcharge may apply if they are under 25
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the hire agreement

Only drivers listed on the Alamo hire agreement are covered by the vehicle’s protections, such as CDW and liability cover. If someone drives who is not named on the contract, cover may be void and additional charges could apply.

Alamo hires in Kentucky 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.

To avoid extra costs at any Alamo location in Kentucky:

• Check the fuel gauge with the agent at pickup and confirm the starting level is recorded on the hire agreement
• Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and fuel gauge at pickup
• Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the return location (CVG in Hebron, SDF in Louisville, or LEX in Lexington) so the gauge does not drop before you arrive
• Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address

If you return the Alamo vehicle below the recorded starting level, you may be charged for the fuel shortfall at the partner’s refuelling rate, which is typically higher than retail pump prices, plus a refuelling service fee. For after-hours returns at Kentucky airports, leave the fuel receipt in the key envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge on your phone.

Yes, most Hola Car Rentals bookings for Alamo in Kentucky include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection, at no additional cost. This benefit is designed for situations such as a medical emergency on a Kentucky highway, a serious accident far from a major city, or a flight cancellation affecting your travel plans.

The travel assistance coverage typically includes:

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

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.

Important: this benefit does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada. It is intended for travellers visiting Kentucky from other countries. It also does not cover damage to the Alamo hire vehicle itself; that is handled by CDW or LDW. Always review your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your reservation.

Yes, one-way hires with Alamo in Kentucky are possible, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on your route. Alamo operates airport-only locations in Kentucky at CVG (Hebron), LEX (Lexington), and SDF (Louisville), so your one-way options start from one of these three airports.

How drop-off fees work for Alamo one-way hires from Kentucky:

• Returning to a different Kentucky airport or a city in another state typically triggers a drop-off fee, which varies by route, vehicle class, and season
• The fee is shown during the booking process under the section labelled as amounts due at the destination; it cannot be pre-paid
• Cross-border one-way hires (for example, driving from Kentucky into Canada) may be restricted or carry higher fees; confirm with the Alamo counter before your trip

If your Hola Car Rentals confirmation does not show a drop-off fee for your specific route, no fee should be charged at the Kentucky counter. If the counter adds a fee that was not disclosed on your confirmation, keep all paperwork and contact support after the hire is complete.
