No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your booking in Maine 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 Maine 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 Portland International Jetport (PWM) in Maine is located on the lower level of the airport parking garage, directly across the street from the terminal. The address is 1001 Westbrook St, Portland, ME 04102.

After landing, exit the terminal and cross to the parking garage. Head to the lower level to find the Alamo rental desk. The counter is closed between 12:30 a.m. and 5:59 a.m., so if you arrive during those hours, an after-hours key drop box is available at the same counter location for vehicle returns.

Alamo also offers an Accelerated Check-in option at this Maine airport. You can activate it online before arrival and either use a touch-screen kiosk or take advantage of the Skip the Counter service, which directs you straight to your vehicle without waiting in line.

The Alamo counter at Bangor International Airport (BGR) in Maine is located inside the terminal itself, so no shuttle or separate building is required. After collecting your baggage, follow signs to baggage claim on the lower level and proceed directly to the Alamo desk.

Counter hours at this Maine location are 00:00 to 01:00 and 08:00 to 23:59 daily. If you arrive outside those windows, an after-hours key drop box is available for vehicle returns. For pickups outside operating hours, contact Alamo in advance to confirm arrangements.

Having your booking confirmation and all required documents ready before you reach the Alamo counter will help speed up the process.

To pick up your Alamo hire in Maine, you must present the following documents at the counter:

• A valid, original (physical) driver’s licence 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 authorisation hold
• A passport or valid government-issued photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
• Return flight or travel tickets (required for visitors from outside the United Kingdom)

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.

All documents presented at the Alamo counter in Maine must be physical originals. Digital copies or photos on a phone are not accepted. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the authorisation hold.

Maine's main toll highway, the Maine Turnpike, uses the E-ZPass electronic toll system. Cash booths have been largely eliminated, making E-ZPass the primary payment method across the state. E-ZPass is accepted in 19 states across the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest, and users typically pay lower rates than pay-by-plate alternatives.

Your Alamo hire in Maine will already have an electronic toll device installed. At the Alamo counter, you can choose how to handle tolls:

• Enroll in Alamo's toll programme and pay a daily service fee (typically between US$11 and US$25 per day depending on location) plus the actual toll amounts
• Decline the programme and pay tolls manually where available, though driving through a cashless E-ZPass lane without enrolling will result in Alamo billing your credit card for the toll plus administrative fees

Toll charges often appear on your credit card statement four to six weeks after the hire ends, as toll agencies process invoices in batches. Always review the hire agreement before signing to understand the fee structure for your Maine trip.

Hola Car Rentals includes Tolls Cashback on all bookings, so you can claim back up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your Alamo hire in Maine. Submit your claim within 30 days of returning the vehicle.

When picking up your Alamo hire in Maine, a temporary authorisation hold will be placed on your credit card at the counter. For standard vehicles rented in the United States, this hold is typically around US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount can vary based on the vehicle class, the specific Maine location, and the season.

A few important points to keep in mind:

• The hold is a temporary authorisation, not a charge. It reduces your available credit until your bank releases it after the hire ends.
• Banks can take up to 15 business days to reflect the release, sometimes longer.
• You must present a physical major credit card with the driver’s name printed on the card. Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted for the deposit at Alamo in Maine.
• Premium or speciality vehicle classes may require a higher hold amount.

Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined, and notify your bank of your travel plans to avoid fraud blocks on the authorisation.

Yes, a young driver surcharge applies to drivers under 25 years old at Alamo locations in Maine. In the United States, the standard minimum age to hire without additional fees is 25, and Alamo in Maine follows this policy.

Drivers aged 21 to 24 can still hire from Alamo in Maine but will be charged a daily young-hire surcharge on top of the base hire rate. This fee is paid at the counter and is not included in your prepaid booking total.

Additional restrictions for under-25 drivers at Alamo in Maine include:

• Many vehicle classes are restricted to drivers aged 25 and older, including full-size, premium, luxury, SUV, minivan, and convertible categories
• Economy, compact, and intermediate vehicles are typically the classes available to younger drivers

Note that the Avis and Budget underage fee exception for Latin American and Caribbean travellers does not apply to Alamo. If you are 21 to 24 and hiring from Alamo in Maine, Budget for the young-hire surcharge regardless of your country of origin.

Alamo hires in Maine follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.

To avoid fuel fees on your Maine hire:

• Check the fuel gauge with the Alamo 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 before leaving the lot
• Refuel within approximately 10 miles or 15 km of the return location so the gauge does not drop below full before you arrive
• Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address

If you return the Alamo vehicle in Maine 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 retail pump prices, plus a refuelling service fee.

For after-hours returns at Portland International Jetport or Bangor International Airport, leave the fuel receipt in the key drop envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge on your phone as documentation.

Basic state-minimum third-party liability cover may be included with your Alamo hire in Maine, but the level of protection it provides is often limited. It is important to review your booking confirmation to understand exactly what liability cover is included in your rate.

Third-party liability (also called LIS, ALI, or SLI) covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to other people while driving the Alamo hire in Maine. It does not cover damage to the hire vehicle itself, which is handled by CDW or LDW.

For stronger protection, Hola Car Rentals offers a Supplementary Liability Insurance add-on of up to US$300,000, which you can include when booking your Alamo hire in Maine. This is especially recommended if:

• Your personal auto insurance policy does not extend to hire vehicles in the United States
• You do not have a credit card that provides hire car liability cover
• You plan to drive on busy motorways such as the Maine Turnpike

Always verify the exact liability limits on your Alamo hire agreement at the counter in Maine before driving away.

Yes, most Hola Car Rentals bookings include travel assistance cover through Terrawind Global Protection, and this applies to your Alamo hire in Maine as well. However, this benefit is available only to travellers who are not residents of the United States or Canada.

If you experience an emergency during your Alamo hire in Maine, such as a medical situation on the Maine Turnpike or a remote stretch of motorway, the cover typically includes:

• Travel and medical insurance for up to 5 passengers
• Legal assistance in the event of an accident
• Compensation for baggage lost by the airline
• Flight cancellation insurance

To activate assistance, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day, 7 days a week:

• Phone: +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free)
• WhatsApp: +1 208 910 1001
• Email: [email protected]

When you call, have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready (format: HOLA1000000), along with your location in Maine and a description of the situation. This cover does not replace CDW or LDW for damage to the Alamo vehicle itself.

Yes, Hola Car Rentals includes a Tolls Cashback benefit on all bookings, including your Alamo hire in Maine. You can claim back up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid while driving in Maine, such as on the Maine Turnpike, which uses the E-ZPass cashless system.

To claim your cashback after returning your Alamo vehicle in Maine:

• Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle
• Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback - HOLA followed by your confirmation number
• Attach your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation, the Alamo hire agreement signed at pickup, and a receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid
• Include your full name, travel dates, and the last 4 digits of the card used for your booking

The refund is issued to the same payment method used for your original reservation and typically processes within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Claims submitted after 30 days are not accepted. The cashback covers toll charges only, not administrative fees, fines, or parking tickets.

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

For Alamo in Maine, 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 an additional driver is already included at no extra cost.

Requirements for adding a driver to your Alamo hire in Maine:

• The additional driver must be present at the Alamo counter at pickup with a valid, physical driver’s licence
• They must meet the minimum age requirements. Drivers under 25 may be subject to a young-driver surcharge
• If their licence is not in English and does not use a Latin alphabet, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is required
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the hire agreement

Only drivers listed on the Alamo hire agreement in Maine are covered by the vehicle's protections, including CDW and liability cover. Anyone who drives the car without being named on the contract may void those protections.

Both Alamo airport locations in Maine offer after-hours return options using key drop boxes, so you are not required to return the vehicle during counter hours.

At Portland International Jetport (PWM), drop your keys in the return drop box located at the Alamo counter on the lower level of the airport parking garage across from the terminal. The counter is closed between 12:30 a.m. and 5:59 a.m.

At Bangor International Airport (BGR), follow signs to baggage claim on the lower level and proceed to the Alamo counter area to use the key drop box.

For a smooth after-hours return at either Maine location:

• Refuel before returning so the tank is full, and keep your fuel receipt
• Take photos of the vehicle's condition, odometer, and fuel gauge before dropping the keys
• Place the fuel receipt in the key drop envelope along with any required paperwork
• Keep copies of all documents in case any post-hire charges appear on your statement

Be aware that liability for the vehicle may remain with you until Alamo formally checks it in the next morning, so document the car's condition thoroughly before leaving the Maine airport.

Yes, hiring from Alamo in Maine at an airport location such as Portland International Jetport (PWM) or Bangor International Airport (BGR) typically involves additional taxes and fees beyond the base hire rate. These are standard charges applied to airport car hires across the United States.

Common fees you may see on your Alamo hire agreement in Maine include:

• Airport concession recovery fee (ACRF): charged by the hire company to recover the cost of operating at the airport
• Customer facility charge (CFC): a per-day or per-transaction fee that funds airport hire facilities
• State and local hire taxes: Maine applies state-level taxes to vehicle hires

Your booking confirmation will indicate whether taxes and fees are included in your prepaid rate or listed as amounts due at pickup. If your confirmation shows taxes and fees as included, you should not be billed separately for those items at the Alamo counter in Maine. If you are charged for something that was marked as included, Hola Car Rentals No Extra Charges© Coverage can help resolve the discrepancy after your hire is complete.

Always review the itemised pre-contract at the Alamo counter in Maine before signing to confirm all charges match your booking confirmation.
