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

Avis operates three locations in the Dayton area to serve different needs.

• Dayton International Airport (DAY): 3600 Terminal Rd, Vandalia, OH 45377. The Avis counter is located inside the terminal, across from baggage claim. If you are an Avis Preferred member, your hire document and keys are preprinted, so you only need to show your driving licence and proceed to the vehicle.
• Dayton City Centre: 33 E 1st St, Dayton, OH 45402.
• Kettering/Dayton: 1323 Wilmington Ave, Dayton, OH 45420.

For most visitors arriving by air, the airport counter is the most convenient option. If you are collecting from a city location, bring the exact address and contact the branch in advance to confirm hours, as city locations may have more limited service windows than the airport counter.

To collect your Avis vehicle in Dayton, you must present the following physical documents at the counter.

• A valid, original driving licence in the main driver’s name. If your licence is not in English and does not use a Latin (Roman) alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory. For other non-English licences, an IDP is strongly recommended.
• A major credit card physically printed with the main driver’s name. Debit, prepaid, and virtual cards are not accepted for the authorisation hold.
• A valid passport or government-issued photo ID.
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher.
• Round-trip flight or travel tickets if you are visiting from abroad.

All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies shown on a phone are not accepted at the Avis counter in Dayton. Name mismatches between your licence, passport, and credit card are a common cause of issues at collection, so verify everything matches before you travel.

When you pick up your Avis vehicle in Dayton, the counter will place a temporary authorisation hold on your credit card. This is not a charge, but it reduces your available credit until the hire is closed and your bank releases the hold.

For standard vehicles at Avis locations in the United States, typical holds range from US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount depends on the vehicle class, hire duration, and location. Premium or speciality vehicles may carry a higher hold.

• Only a major credit card physically printed with the main driver’s name is accepted. Debit and prepaid cards are not allowed for the deposit.
• Bring a backup credit card in case your primary card is declined.
• Notify your bank before travelling to prevent fraud blocks on an in-person authorisation in Dayton.

After you return the Avis vehicle, the hold is released. Your bank controls how quickly the credit reappears, and it can take up to 15 working days in some cases.

Yes, toll roads are relevant if you drive your Avis hire beyond the Dayton metropolitan area, particularly towards Toledo, Cleveland, or Akron on the Ohio Turnpike (I-76, I-80, I-90).

The Ohio Turnpike is a 241-mile east-west route. Tolls are collected electronically via E-ZPass or by cash and credit card at staffed plazas. Typical passenger vehicle rates for a full crossing are approximately US$19 with E-ZPass or US$27.75 by cash or credit card westbound, and US$16 or US$23.50 eastbound.

Your Avis hire in Dayton does not come with a personal E-ZPass account. You have two main options at the counter.

• Enroll in the Avis e-Toll programme: a pay-per-use daily fee of approximately US$4.95 per day (capped at around US$34.65 per hire) covers the transponder use. You are billed for actual tolls plus the daily fee on days you use toll roads.
• Opt out and pay tolls manually at cash or credit card plazas, or prepay online through the Ohio Turnpike website.

If you drive through a cashless toll without enrolling, Avis will bill the toll amount plus an administrative processing fee to your card after the hire ends. Ohio has no congestion charges or city-centre driving fees.

Yes, all Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Avis hires in Dayton, include Tolls Cashback, which reimburses up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during the hire period.

This is especially useful if you plan to drive your Avis vehicle from Dayton onto the Ohio Turnpike towards Cleveland, Toledo, or the Pennsylvania or Indiana borders, where toll costs can reach US$19 to US$27.75 per crossing depending on your payment method.

To claim your cashback after returning the vehicle, email [email protected] within 30 days of return. Include the following.

• Your Hola Car Rentals reservation confirmation.
• The hire agreement signed at the Avis counter in Dayton.
• A receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid, such as a toll agency invoice or the final Avis hire invoice with an itemised toll line.

Refunds are issued to the original payment method and typically process within 7 to 10 working days after approval. Late submissions received after 30 days are not accepted. This benefit does not mean tolls are prepaid; you still pay them normally and claim reimbursement afterwards.

Downtown Dayton has a legacy one-way street system originally designed in the 1950s, and it can be confusing for first-time drivers, including those collecting an Avis hire and heading into the city centre.

Several key streets, including Monument Avenue, West First Street, and North St. Clair Street, have been or are being converted from one-way to two-way traffic as part of ongoing streetscape improvements. This means navigation apps may not always reflect the current configuration, and signage can shift during the transition period.

• Pay close attention to street signs rather than relying solely on GPS when driving your Avis vehicle through downtown Dayton.
• North Main Street has been reduced from four lanes to three, with a centre turn lane added, which changes merging and turning behaviour.
• The I-75 interchange near downtown features a mix of left- and right-side ramps being reconfigured, which can be disorienting if you are unfamiliar with Ohio highway layouts.

If you are collecting your Avis hire at the downtown location on 33 E 1st St, allow extra time to navigate the area, especially if roadworks are active nearby.

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

• At collection, check the fuel gauge with the Avis agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on the hire agreement. Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and gauge.
• During the hire, use the correct fuel type as shown in the vehicle. Wrong-fuel incidents are not covered by the fuel policy.
• Before returning the vehicle, refuel within approximately 10 miles of the Avis return location in Dayton. Fuel prices in the Dayton area average around US$3.70 per gallon for regular unleaded, which is slightly below the Ohio state average and well below coastal markets.
• Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address.

If you return the Avis vehicle in Dayton 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. Returning full is always the most cost-effective option.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Avis hire in Dayton, but fees and conditions apply depending on your booking rate.

If your Hola Car Rentals confirmation explicitly states that an additional driver is included at no charge, the first extra driver is free. If it is not included, Avis charges approximately US$13 per hire day plus taxes, capped at US$65 plus taxes for the hire period.

• The additional driver must be present at the Avis counter in Dayton at collection with a valid driving licence and any required ID.
• For Avis in Dayton, additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old. Drivers aged 21 to 24 may not be accepted as additional drivers or may face a young-driver surcharge.
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the hire agreement. Anyone who drives but is not listed on the contract is not covered by the hire protections.

Check your booking confirmation before arriving at the Avis counter in Dayton to confirm whether the additional driver fee is included or payable locally.

The minimum age to hire a car with Avis in Dayton, Ohio, without a young-driver surcharge is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can hire but will be charged an additional daily underage fee.

• Avis in Dayton charges approximately US$13 per day plus taxes for drivers aged 21 to 24, with no cap specified for this surcharge at most locations.
• Drivers under 25 are restricted from hiring certain vehicle classes, including full-size saloons, SUVs, minivans, convertibles, luxury, and premium categories. Economy, compact, and intermediate vehicles are generally available.
• Drivers under 21 cannot hire from Avis in Dayton. Ohio does not have the same exceptions as New York or Michigan, which require rentals to drivers aged 18 and over.

One exception applies for Latin American and Caribbean travellers aged 21 to 24: certain Hola Car Rentals rates with Avis waive the underage fee when the waiver is explicitly shown on the booking confirmation and the driver presents a passport proving Latin American or Caribbean nationality. This applies only to eligible vehicle categories and only in the United States, including Dayton.

Yes, one-way hires are generally available with Avis in Dayton, allowing you to collect in Dayton and return the vehicle to a different city or airport. However, a drop-off fee may apply depending on the route.

• The drop-off fee is route-specific and varies by destination, vehicle class, and season. It is shown during the booking process under the section labelled as charges due at destination.
• Same-city routes, such as collecting at Dayton International Airport and returning to the downtown Avis location, often carry no drop-off fee.
• Longer routes, such as Dayton to Columbus, Cincinnati, or Cleveland, typically do carry a one-way fee.
• Cross-border one-ways, such as driving your Avis hire from Dayton into Canada, may be restricted or require prior authorisation and carry higher fees.

This fee cannot be prepaid and is payable at the Avis counter in Dayton or at the return location. If the fee shown at the counter differs from what appeared on your booking confirmation, keep all paperwork and contact support, as the No Extra Charges© guarantee may apply to undisclosed fees.

Yes, most Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Avis hires in Dayton, include travel assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection. However, this benefit does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada.

If you are an international visitor driving your Avis hire in Dayton and something unexpected happens, such as a medical emergency on the I-75 corridor or a flight cancellation affecting your return, the travel assistance coverage may help.

Core benefits typically include the following.

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

To get help 24 hours a day, call +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free) or contact Terrawind via WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call. This cover does not replace CDW/LDW for damage to the Avis vehicle or third-party liability insurance. Check your booking confirmation for the exact terms and limits that apply to your reservation.

When collecting your Avis vehicle in Dayton, you will typically be offered several insurance and protection products at the counter. Understanding what each covers helps you avoid paying for duplicate protection.

• Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): reduces your financial liability for damage to the Avis hire vehicle itself, including theft and vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation states zero excess. This does not cover damage you cause to other vehicles or persons.
• Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI): covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving the Avis hire in Dayton or elsewhere in Ohio. Some U.S. states require a minimum level of liability, but not all do. Adding supplementary liability up to US$300,000 is strongly recommended.
• Personal Accident Insurance (PAI): covers your own injuries and those of passengers. This is separate from CDW and liability cover.

Check your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation before arriving at the Avis counter in Dayton to see which protections are already included in your rate. Accepting add-ons at the counter that duplicate your existing cover will increase your out-of-pocket costs.

If you return your Avis vehicle in Dayton after the agreed drop-off time, a grace period of approximately 30 minutes typically applies, though this is not guaranteed at every location. After the grace period, Avis may charge for additional hours or a full extra day, plus a late return fee.

• Plan your return time carefully, especially if you are heading back to Dayton International Airport for a flight. Factor in time to refuel near the return location before dropping off the vehicle.
• If you know in advance that you need more time, contact Avis or request an extension through your booking to avoid being charged at a higher walk-up rate for the extra period.
• For after-hours returns at Avis locations in Dayton, confirm in advance whether a key drop box is available and follow the instructions provided. Note that your liability for the vehicle may continue until the branch formally checks it in.

If your flight into Dayton is delayed by less than 24 hours, Avis will generally hold your reservation. Delays beyond 24 hours may result in the booking being forfeited. In that situation, contact support as soon as possible to explore options.
