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

Yes, Alamo has a dedicated counter at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) in North Carolina, and finding it is straightforward once you land.

After collecting your baggage, take the lift to level 5, then cross the skybridge to level 2, where the Alamo counter is located in the lobby of the hire car facility. From there you can complete your agreement and collect your keys.

To save time, Alamo offers two ways to skip the counter queue at this North Carolina airport:

• Accelerated Check-in: complete your details online before arrival and go directly to your vehicle
• Kiosk check-in: use the self-service touchscreen in the lobby to process your agreement on the spot

After-hours collection is also available at CLT. If you arrive outside standard counter hours, follow the instructions in your booking confirmation email to locate your vehicle and complete the process.

Yes, Alamo operates at Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) in North Carolina, located at 1001 Rental Car Drive, Morrisville, NC 27623.

After you collect your baggage, board the Alamo shuttle from the designated stop outside the terminal. The shuttle takes you to the hire car facility, where you complete your agreement and pick up your keys at the Alamo counter.

To reduce wait times at this North Carolina location, Alamo offers:

• Accelerated Check-in: fill in your details online before arriving so you can go straight to the vehicle
• Kiosk check-in: use the self-service touchscreen at the counter area to process your hire on arrival

After-hours collection is available at RDU. If your flight lands outside counter hours, your booking confirmation email will include specific instructions for collecting your Alamo vehicle.

No, Alamo does not have confirmed off-airport or city centre locations in North Carolina based on its official location directory.

All verified Alamo locations in North Carolina are airport-based, covering the following airports:

• Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT), Charlotte
• Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU), Morrisville
• Asheville Regional Airport (AVL), Asheville
• Fayetteville Regional Airport (FAY), Fayetteville
• Jacksonville Albert J. Ellis Airport (OAJ), Richlands
• Coastal Carolina Regional Airport (EWN), New Bern

Some third-party websites suggest a possible city centre Asheville option, but this is not confirmed on Alamo's official North Carolina directory. If you require a city centre collection, it is best to contact Alamo directly or check availability through the booking tool before confirming your reservation.

North Carolina operates fully cashless, all-electronic tolling, so there are no traditional toll booths on any of the state's toll roads. This applies to all Alamo rentals driven on North Carolina highways.

The main toll roads you may encounter are:

• Triangle Expressway (approximately 19 miles connecting Raleigh and Durham): up to US$3.60 electronically for a standard 2-axle vehicle, or US$4.05 to US$4.19 with an NC Quick Pass account as of January 2026
• Monroe Expressway (near Charlotte): up to US$2.66 electronically or US$4.10 by mail for a 2-axle vehicle

Accepted payment systems include NC Quick Pass, E-ZPass, SunPass, and Peach Pass. Using an NC Quick Pass transponder with pre-loaded funds grants a 35% discount off the bill-by-mail rate.

Your Alamo hire vehicle in North Carolina is equipped with an electronic toll device. At the counter you can choose an unlimited toll package (typically US$11 to US$25 per day, depending on location) or pay per use, where Alamo bills the actual toll amount plus an administrative fee to your card after the hire ends. Toll charges may appear on your statement days or even weeks after you return the vehicle.

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

This is particularly useful in North Carolina, where cashless toll roads such as the Triangle Expressway and Monroe Expressway can accumulate over the course of a trip. You still pay tolls normally via the Alamo toll device or your own transponder, and then claim the reimbursement afterwards.

To claim your Tolls Cashback:

• Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning your Alamo vehicle in North Carolina
• Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback - Reservation [Your Confirmation Number]
• Attach your Hola Car Rentals confirmation, the signed hire agreement, and a toll receipt or statement showing charges paid during the hire period

The refund is processed to the same payment method used for your booking and typically takes 7 to 10 working days after approval. Claims submitted after 30 days are not accepted.

Yes, there are specific documents you must bring to the Alamo counter in North Carolina to complete your collection without delays.

Required documents for all drivers:

• Original, unexpired driving licence (physical card, not digital)
• Major credit card in the main driver’s name with the name printed on the card, for the authorisation hold
• Passport or valid government-issued photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher

If you are arriving from outside the United Kingdom, also bring:

• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets
• Any required entry visas or travel documents

Regarding your driving licence: visitors can generally drive in North Carolina on a valid foreign licence. However, if your licence uses a non-Latin alphabet such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory. For licences in other non-English scripts, an IDP is strongly recommended. The IDP must be carried alongside your original licence at all times and is not a standalone document.

All documents presented at the Alamo counter in North Carolina must be physical originals. Digital copies on a phone or tablet are not accepted.

Yes, a major credit card in the main driver’s name is required at every Alamo location in North Carolina to cover the security deposit hold at collection.

Key points to note:

• The card must be a major credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, etc.) with the driver’s name physically printed on it
• Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual or single-use card numbers are not accepted for the authorisation hold
• The card must have sufficient available credit to cover the hold, which is typically around US$300 to US$400 for standard vehicles at UK locations
• The hold is a temporary authorisation, 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 working days

Even if you prepaid your Alamo booking in North Carolina online, you must still present a physical credit card at the counter for the security hold. Bringing a backup credit card in your name is also recommended in case your primary card is declined.

If your bank may flag a large in-person authorisation, set a travel notice before your trip to avoid the transaction being blocked.

Yes, Alamo hires in North Carolina are subject to several government-mandated taxes and fees that are added on top of the base hire rate.

State-level charges that apply to North Carolina Alamo hires include:

• NC Highway Use Tax: 8.00%
• U-Drive-It Tax: 5.00%

If you pick up your Alamo vehicle at an airport such as Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) or Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU), additional airport-specific concession fees and facility charges may also apply on top of the state taxes listed above.

Your booking confirmation will show which taxes and fees are included in your prepaid rate and which are due at the destination. If your confirmation shows taxes as included, you should not be billed for them again at the Alamo counter in North Carolina. If an undisclosed charge appears at collection, Hola Car Rentals' No Extra Charges© Coverage can help resolve it after your hire is complete.

Yes, Alamo charges a young driver surcharge in North Carolina for renters between the ages of 21 and 24.

The standard Alamo young driver fee in the United Kingdom is US$15 per day, plus applicable local taxes. This fee is paid directly at the Alamo counter in North Carolina and is not included in your prepaid booking total.

Additional restrictions that apply to under-25 renters at Alamo in North Carolina:

• Many vehicle classes are restricted to drivers aged 25 and older, including full-size sedans, SUVs, minivans, premium, luxury, and convertible categories
• Drivers aged 21 to 24 are generally limited to economy, compact, intermediate, and compact SUV classes
• The minimum age to hire from Alamo in North Carolina is 21 in most cases

Drivers aged 25 and older are not subject to any young driver surcharge. If you are unsure whether your chosen vehicle class is available for your age group at a specific North Carolina Alamo location, contact Hola Car Rentals customer service via WhatsApp before booking.

Yes, after-hours returns are available at the main Alamo airport locations in North Carolina, including Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) and Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU).

The process for returning your Alamo vehicle outside counter hours in North Carolina:

• At CLT: drive to the hire car facility on the 2nd floor, park in the Alamo return lane, and leave the keys inside the vehicle
• At RDU and AVL: park as directed by the signage at the return area and drop the keys in the designated dropbox at the Alamo counter
• At all North Carolina locations: follow the specific after-hours instructions included in your booking confirmation email before your trip

Remember that when you return a vehicle after hours, the hire agreement is not formally closed until a staff member inspects the car the next working day. It is strongly recommended to take photographs of the vehicle's condition, fuel gauge, and odometer at the time of return. This protects you in case any dispute arises about damage or fuel level after the Alamo counter reopens in North Carolina.

Yes, Alamo hires in North Carolina follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy, which means you receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.

Steps to follow to avoid fuel charges on your North Carolina Alamo hire:

• At collection, check the fuel gauge with the agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on the hire agreement
• Take a photo of the dashboard showing the fuel gauge and odometer before leaving the lot
• Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the return location so the gauge does not drop before you arrive
• Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address
• For after-hours returns at North Carolina airports, leave the receipt in the key envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge

If you return the Alamo vehicle in North Carolina 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 an administrative fee. Refuelling near the airport before returning is the most cost-effective approach.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Alamo hire in North Carolina, but the driver must be present at the counter at the time of collection with a valid driving licence.

Additional driver fees for Alamo in North Carolina:

• If your booking confirmation states the additional driver is included, there is no extra charge for the first additional driver
• If not included, Alamo charges US$15 per day plus applicable taxes for each additional driver in North Carolina

Requirements for adding a driver at the Alamo counter in North Carolina:

• The additional driver must be physically present at collection
• They must present a valid driving licence (and an IDP if their licence uses a non-Latin alphabet)
• They must meet the minimum age requirements, which is 21 at most North Carolina Alamo locations
• Drivers aged 21 to 24 may be subject to a young driver surcharge in addition to the additional driver fee
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the hire agreement

Only drivers listed on the Alamo hire agreement in North Carolina are covered by the vehicle's protections such as CDW/LDW and liability cover. Anyone not named on the contract who drives the vehicle may void those protections.

Yes, most bookings made through Hola Car Rentals, including Alamo hires in North Carolina, include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection at no extra cost.

This benefit is particularly relevant in North Carolina, where some Alamo collection points such as Jacksonville Albert J. Ellis Airport (OAJ) and Coastal Carolina Regional Airport (EWN) in New Bern serve more remote areas. If a medical situation or travel disruption occurs during your trip, having assistance available 24 hours a day can be important.

Coverage typically includes:

• Medical assistance for up to 5 passengers (non-pre-existing conditions and accidents)
• Legal assistance in the event of a road accident
• Compensation for baggage lost by the airline
• Flight cancellation insurance

To contact the assistance line at any time during your North Carolina hire:

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

Important: this benefit does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada. It is designed for travellers arriving from other countries. It also does not cover damage to the Alamo hire vehicle itself, which is handled separately by CDW/LDW cover.
