Will I face unexpected charges at the Alamo counter in Las Vegas Strip when I book through Hola Car Rentals?
No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your booking in Las Vegas Strip 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 Las Vegas Strip 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)
Where do I pick up my Alamo hire car when visiting the Las Vegas Strip?
Alamo operates from the consolidated Rental Car Centre at 7135 Gilespie St, Las Vegas, NV 89119, near Harry Reid International Airport (LAS). There is no Alamo counter located directly on the Las Vegas Strip or in the city centre.
To reach the Alamo counter from the airport:
- Exit baggage claim and follow signs to the shuttle bus pickup area
- Board the Alamo shuttle, which departs every 15 minutes to the Rental Car Centre
- At the centre, proceed to the Alamo counter to complete your hire agreement and collect your keys
- Alternatively, use the touch-screen kiosk for a faster check-in experience
Once you have your vehicle, the Las Vegas Strip is roughly a 10-minute drive from the Rental Car Centre via I-15, exiting at Flamingo Road. The Alamo counter operates 24 hours daily, so late arrivals are not a problem.
Are there toll roads near the Las Vegas Strip that Alamo renters need to worry about?
No, there are no toll roads anywhere in Nevada, including on or near the Las Vegas Strip. Alamo renters driving on I-15, US-95, Las Vegas Boulevard, or any other public road in the state will not encounter any toll charges.
Because Nevada has no toll infrastructure, there is no need to enrol in any toll programme at the Alamo counter. Toll programmes offered by hire companies, such as transponder packages, are designed for states with active toll roads and are not relevant to driving around the Las Vegas Strip.
One thing to keep in mind: state park entry fees, such as those at Valley of Fire, are not tolls and must be paid separately at the park entrance. These are not billed through your Alamo hire agreement.
If your trip takes you beyond Nevada into neighbouring states such as California, toll roads may apply there. In that case, the Tolls Cashback benefit included with your booking can help offset those costs.
What documents do I need to pick up my Alamo car near the Las Vegas Strip?
When collecting your Alamo hire at the Rental Car Centre serving the Las Vegas Strip, you must present the following physical documents:
- A valid, original driver’s licence in the main driver’s name (physical card only; digital copies are not accepted)
- A passport or valid government-issued photo ID
- A major credit card (Visa, Mastercard, or American Express) in the main driver’s name, with the name printed on the card, for the security deposit authorisation hold
- Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
- Round-trip flight or cruise tickets if you are visiting from abroad
If your driver’s licence uses a non-Latin alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory. For licences in Latin characters but not in English, an IDP is strongly recommended. The IDP must be carried alongside your original licence at all times; it is not a standalone document.
All additional drivers must also be present at the Alamo counter with their own valid licence and ID. Alamo will not add a driver to the agreement remotely.
Does Hola Car Rentals offer Tolls Cashback for Alamo rentals near the Las Vegas Strip?
Yes, Tolls Cashback is included with every Hola Car Rentals booking, including Alamo rentals used around the Las Vegas Strip.
Because Nevada has no toll roads, you will not pay any tolls while driving on the Strip or anywhere else in the state. However, if your trip takes you into California or another state with active toll roads, any tolls you pay there are eligible for reimbursement under this benefit.
Hola Car Rentals will reimburse the lesser of the total tolls you paid or up to 5% of your total booking value. For example, if your booking total is US$500, the maximum cashback is US$25.
To claim your cashback after returning your Alamo vehicle:
- Email [email protected] within 30 days of vehicle return
- Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback - HOLA followed by your confirmation number
- Attach your Hola Car Rentals reservation confirmation, the Alamo hire agreement, and a receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid
Refunds are issued to the original payment method and typically process within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Late submissions are not accepted.
Can I skip the Alamo counter and go straight to my car near the Las Vegas Strip?
Yes, Alamo offers options to speed up or bypass the counter process at the Rental Car Centre serving the Las Vegas Strip.
Two main options are available:
- Accelerated Check-In: Pre-fill your personal details online before arrival. When you reach the Alamo counter, the process is significantly faster because your information is already on file.
- Skip the Counter: Activate this option online before your trip, print your hire agreement, and proceed directly to the vehicle on the lot. You will only need to show your agreement at the exit booth before driving away towards the Las Vegas Strip.
If you prefer to use the counter, touch-screen kiosks are also available at the Rental Car Centre as an alternative to speaking with an agent. The kiosk prints your agreement and directs you to your car.
Regardless of which option you choose, you must still present your physical driver’s licence and a major credit card in your name at either the kiosk or the exit booth. The Alamo counter operates 24 hours daily, so these options are available at any hour.
What local taxes and fees are added to Alamo hire rates near the Las Vegas Strip?
Hiring an Alamo vehicle at the Rental Car Centre near the Las Vegas Strip typically adds 20 to 30% in local taxes and fees on top of the base rate. These charges are standard for airport-based hires in Clark County and include:
- Airport concession recovery fee: approximately 10% of the lease amount
- Customer facility charge: approximately GBP 5.50 per day
- Clark County hire tax: approximately 10% on gross receipts
- Tourism and convention fee: up to 5%
These fees are set by the airport, county, and state, not by Alamo directly. Your booking confirmation will indicate which fees are prepaid and which are due at the counter. If your confirmation shows taxes and fees as included, you should not be billed again for those items at the Alamo desk.
If you are charged for something that was already marked as included on your confirmation, the No Extra Charges© guarantee may apply. Keep all paperwork and contact support after your hire is complete.
Is a credit card required to pick up an Alamo hire on the Las Vegas Strip?
Yes, a major credit card is required at the Alamo counter when collecting your hire near the Las Vegas Strip. Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted for the security deposit authorisation hold.
The credit card must meet all of the following conditions:
- It must be a major card: Visa, Mastercard, or American Express
- It must be a physical card, not a digital wallet or virtual card number
- The name printed on the card must match the main driver’s name on the hire agreement
- It must have sufficient available credit to cover the security hold, which is typically US$300 to US$400 for standard vehicles at Alamo locations in the United Kingdom
The hold is a temporary authorisation, not a charge. It reduces your available credit until Alamo releases it after you return the vehicle. Your bank controls how quickly the hold disappears, which can take up to 15 business days.
Even if you prepaid your booking in full, you are still required to present a physical credit card at the Alamo counter. Bringing a backup credit card is always a good idea in case your primary card is declined.
Does Travel Assistance cover a breakdown on the highway near the Las Vegas Strip with Alamo?
Yes, most Hola Car Rentals bookings include Travel Assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection, which can help if you experience a medical emergency or other covered event while driving your Alamo hire near the Las Vegas Strip or on surrounding highways such as I-15 or US-95.
Core benefits typically include:
- Travel insurance with medical cover for up to 5 passengers
- Legal assistance in the event of an accident
- Compensation for luggage lost by the airline
- Flight cancellation insurance
To reach assistance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week:
- Call: +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free)
- WhatsApp: +1 208 910 1001
- Email: [email protected]
When you call, provide your full name, your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number, your current location, and a brief description of what happened. Follow the coordinator's instructions and keep all receipts and reports.
Important: this benefit does not apply to residents of the United Kingdom or Canada. It also does not cover damage to the Alamo hire vehicle itself; that is handled by CDW/LDW cover.
Do I need an International Driving Permit to rent from Alamo near the Las Vegas Strip?
Not always, but it depends on the language and alphabet of your driver’s licence.
For your Alamo hire near the Las Vegas Strip, the rules are as follows:
- If your licence uses a non-Latin alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory. Alamo may refuse to complete the hire without one.
- If your licence is in Latin characters but not in English, an IDP is strongly recommended, though not always strictly required.
- If your licence is in English or issued by an EU or EEA country, an IDP is generally not needed.
The IDP is a translation booklet only. It must always be carried alongside your original licence; it cannot replace it. If you think you may need one, obtain it in your home country before travelling, as it cannot be issued abroad.
All documents presented at the Alamo counter must be physical originals. Digital or photocopied versions are not accepted. Confirm the specific requirements for your licence country before your trip to avoid any issues at the Las Vegas Strip pickup location.
How does the fuel policy work for Alamo hire near the Las Vegas Strip?
Alamo hires near the Las Vegas Strip follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.
Key steps to follow:
- At pickup, check the fuel gauge with the Alamo agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on the hire agreement
- Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and fuel gauge
- Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the Rental Car Centre at 7135 Gilespie St before returning the vehicle
- Keep your final fuel receipt as proof in case of any dispute
Note that fuel prices in Las Vegas tend to run higher than the national average, so budgeting accordingly is worthwhile.
If you return the Alamo vehicle with less than a full tank, you may be charged for the fuel shortfall at the partner's refuelling rate, which is typically higher than the pump price, plus an administrative service fee. Returning the car full is always the most cost-effective option.
For after-hours returns, leave your fuel receipt in the key envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge on your phone as backup documentation.
Can I add an additional driver to my Alamo reservation for the Las Vegas Strip?
Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Alamo hire for the Las Vegas Strip, either as part of your rate or by paying a fee at the counter.
For Alamo specifically, the additional driver fee when not included in your rate is US$15 per day plus applicable taxes. Check your booking confirmation to see whether your rate already includes one additional driver at no extra cost.
Requirements for adding a driver at the Alamo counter:
- The additional driver must be physically present at the Rental Car Centre at pickup
- They must present a valid driver’s licence and a government-issued photo ID
- They must meet the minimum age requirements for Nevada hires
- 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, including CDW/LDW and liability cover. If someone who is not on the agreement drives the vehicle near the Las Vegas Strip and an incident occurs, cover may be void. Never allow an unlisted person to drive the car.
Is there a young driver surcharge for under-25 renters at Alamo on the Las Vegas Strip?
Yes, drivers under 25 years old are subject to a young-renter surcharge when collecting an Alamo hire near the Las Vegas Strip. The minimum age to hire without a surcharge is 25.
For Alamo, drivers aged 21 to 24 may hire but will be charged an additional daily fee on top of the base rate. This fee is paid at the Alamo counter and is not included in the prepaid booking total.
Additional restrictions that apply to under-25 renters at the Las Vegas Strip location:
- Many vehicle classes are restricted to drivers aged 25 and older, including full-size saloons, SUVs, minivans, convertibles, luxury, and premium categories
- Economy, compact, and intermediate vehicles are typically the only classes available to younger renters
- Nevada does not have the same age-exception laws as New York or Michigan, so the standard Alamo policy applies
If you are between 21 and 24, confirm the surcharge amount and available vehicle classes before booking. Bringing a valid major credit card and all required documents to the Alamo counter is especially important, as the deposit hold requirements remain the same regardless of age.
How do I return my Alamo hire car after visiting the Las Vegas Strip?
Return your Alamo hire to the same Rental Car Centre at 7135 Gilespie St, Las Vegas, NV 89119, the same facility where you collected the vehicle. There is no separate return location on the Las Vegas Strip itself.
Steps for a smooth return:
- Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the Rental Car Centre before arriving, and keep your receipt
- Follow the directional signs inside the facility to the Alamo return lane
- Park as directed by the lot attendant and leave the keys with the agent or in the designated dropbox for after-hours returns
- Take a photo of the fuel gauge and odometer before handing over the keys
- Request a printed or emailed return receipt confirming the vehicle condition and closing mileage
Because the Alamo counter operates 24 hours daily, attended returns are available at any time. For after-hours drops, park in the designated area, place your keys and fuel receipt in the dropbox envelope, and keep a photo of the dashboard as documentation.
After return, the authorisation hold on your credit card will be released by Alamo, though your bank may take up to 15 business days to reflect the release on your statement.
