No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your booking in Fort Lauderdale 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 Fort Lauderdale 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 Avis counter at Fort Lauderdale Airport (FLL) is located inside the Rental Car Centre (RCC), which sits adjacent to Terminal 1.

• From Terminal 1: after collecting your bags, go to Level 2 and cross the Concourse B pedestrian bridge directly into the RCC. The walk takes roughly 5 minutes.
• From Terminals 2, 3, or 4: head to the lower level kerb and board the free RCC shuttle. Shuttles run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, approximately every 10 minutes. Total door-to-counter time is typically 10 to 15 minutes.

Once inside the RCC, follow signage to the Avis desk on the upper floors. Bring your booking confirmation, a physical major credit card in the main driver's name, your driver's licence, and any other required documents. Check your confirmation for the specific counter hours before you travel.

To pick up your Avis hire car in Fort Lauderdale, you must present the following physical documents at the counter. Digital copies are not accepted.

• Original, unexpired driver's licence in the main driver's name.
• International Driving Permit (IDP) if your licence uses a non-Latin alphabet such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic. An IDP is a translation only and must be carried alongside your original licence.
• Passport or valid government-issued photo ID.
• Physical major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card, in the main driver's name, for the authorisation hold. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted.
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher.
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets (required for visitors from outside the United States).

At the Avis Fort Lauderdale counter, confirm that all named drivers are added to the hire agreement and that each additional driver also presents a valid licence. Review and sign the agreement before leaving the counter.

Florida's toll roads around Fort Lauderdale are almost entirely cashless, using electronic systems such as SunPass and E-PASS. Your Avis hire vehicle will include an electronic toll device or a plate-based billing system, so you will pass through toll gantries automatically.

At the Avis counter in Fort Lauderdale, you have two options:

• Unlimited toll package: Avis charges approximately US$6.95 per day (capped at US$34.75 per month) when tolls are incurred. This covers unlimited toll usage during your hire.
• Pay per use: If you decline the package and still drive on toll roads, Avis will bill the toll amount plus administrative fees to your credit card. Charges may appear days or weeks after your hire ends, as toll agencies process invoices in batches.

You may also opt out and use your own visitor toll pass, such as Florida's Toll Pass. If you do, inform the Avis agent at the Fort Lauderdale counter so they can deactivate the vehicle's default device and prevent duplicate charges.

There are no congestion charges or emissions zones in Fort Lauderdale. Standard road and bridge toll fees apply only.

Yes, every booking for an Avis hire in Fort Lauderdale includes Tolls Cashback from Hola Car Rentals, giving you up to 5% of your total booking value back for tolls paid during your hire.

Florida roads around Fort Lauderdale are almost entirely cashless, so toll charges can add up quickly depending on your route. The cashback helps offset those costs.

To claim your refund:

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

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

When you pick up your Avis hire car in Fort Lauderdale, the Avis counter will place a temporary authorisation hold on your credit card. This is not a charge; it reduces your available credit until your bank releases it after the hire ends.

For standard vehicles at Avis locations in the United States, including Fort Lauderdale, the typical hold is approximately US$300 to US$400. The exact amount can vary based on the vehicle class, hire duration, and location policies. Premium or speciality vehicles may carry a higher hold.

• You must present a physical major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card, in the main driver's name. Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted for the deposit.
• Ensure your card has sufficient available credit to cover the hold plus any expected charges.
• Notify your bank of your travel plans to prevent fraud blocks on the authorisation.
• After returning the vehicle, the hold is released; your bank may take up to 15 working days to reflect this.

Hola Car Rentals cannot confirm the exact hold amount in advance, as final deposit rules are set by the Avis desk at Fort Lauderdale.

The minimum age to hire an Avis car in Fort Lauderdale without additional surcharges is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can hire but will be subject to a daily young-hirer surcharge and face restrictions on vehicle classes.

• Drivers under 25 are generally limited to smaller categories such as Economy, Compact, and Intermediate vehicles. Classes like Full Size, SUV, Minivan, Convertible, Luxury, and Premium typically require the driver to be 25 or older.
• The young-hirer surcharge is a daily fee that varies by location and vehicle class.

There is a notable exception for certain Hola Car Rentals rates fulfilled by Avis: if the main driver is aged 21 to 24 and is a citizen or resident of Latin America or the Caribbean, the underage fee may be waived. This waiver must appear explicitly on your Hola Car Rentals confirmation and applies only to eligible vehicle categories such as Economy, Compact, Medium Sedan, Standard Sedan, Compact SUV, and Medium SUV.

All standard requirements still apply at the Avis Fort Lauderdale counter regardless of age, including a valid driver's licence and a physical major credit card in the main driver's name for the deposit.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Avis hire in Fort Lauderdale, either at no cost if your rate includes it or for a daily fee paid at the counter.

When the fee applies at Avis in Fort Lauderdale, the charge is US$13 per hire day plus taxes, with a maximum charge of US$65 plus taxes.

• The additional driver must be present at the Avis counter in Fort Lauderdale at pickup with a valid driver's licence and any required ID.
• For Avis, the additional driver must generally be at least 25 years old at the time of pickup.
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the hire agreement.
• Only drivers listed on the agreement are covered by protections such as Collision Damage Waiver and liability cover. Anyone not named on the contract is not covered.

Check your booking confirmation before arriving at the Fort Lauderdale counter. If it states "Additional driver free of charge," no fee applies for the first extra driver. If you need to add a driver after pickup, visit an Avis branch to update the agreement.

Avis uses a Full-to-Full fuel policy at Fort Lauderdale, which means you receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid fuel charges.

• At pickup, 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 your hire, use the correct fuel type. Wrong-fuel incidents are not covered by the fuel policy.
• Before returning the vehicle, refuel within approximately 10 miles of the Fort Lauderdale return location so the gauge does not drop below full en route.
• Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address.

If you return the Avis 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 the pump price, plus a refuelling service fee. For after-hours returns at Fort Lauderdale, leave the receipt in the key envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge as evidence.

Yes, most Hola Car Rentals bookings for an Avis hire in Fort Lauderdale include travel assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection, at no extra cost.

This benefit is designed for situations such as a medical emergency on Florida's highways or an accident during your Fort Lauderdale hire period. 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 get help 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 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.

Important: this cover applies only to travellers who are not residents of the United States or Canada. US and Canadian residents do not qualify for this benefit. This assistance does not replace Collision Damage Waiver or liability cover for the Avis vehicle itself.

Yes, one-way hires are possible with Avis in Fort Lauderdale, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on your return location.

• If you return the vehicle to a different city or airport, a one-way fee is typically added. This fee is route-specific and varies by distance, vehicle class, and season.
• Same-city returns, such as picking up at Fort Lauderdale Airport and dropping off at a Fort Lauderdale city location, often carry no drop-off fee.
• Long-distance or cross-state one-ways from Fort Lauderdale generally do incur a fee.

During the booking process, any applicable drop-off fee will appear on the rate details page under the "To pay at destination" section. Review this before confirming your reservation. The fee cannot be prepaid and is paid directly to Avis at the Fort Lauderdale counter or return location.

If the Avis counter charges a drop-off fee that was not disclosed on your booking confirmation, keep all paperwork and contact support. Hola Car Rentals' No Extra Charges© Coverage may apply after verification.

Avis hire cars in Fort Lauderdale can include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) depending on the rate you select. Check your booking confirmation to see what is included.

CDW and LDW reduce your financial liability for damage to the Avis vehicle from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation explicitly states zero deductible.

What CDW and LDW do not cover:

• Damage or injury you cause to third parties. For that, you need Third-Party Liability cover (LIS or SLI).
• Tires, undercarriage, roof, or keys, unless a specific add-on is included.
• Incidents involving unauthorised drivers or prohibited use such as off-road driving.

In Florida, some state-minimum third-party liability may be included with the Avis vehicle, but cover levels vary. Hola Car Rentals strongly recommends adding Liability Insurance Supplementary (up to US$300,000) to your Fort Lauderdale booking for full protection.

At the Avis counter in Fort Lauderdale, review the hire agreement carefully to confirm which coverages are active and what deductibles apply before signing.

Avis will hold your Fort Lauderdale reservation for up to 24 hours from the original scheduled pickup time if your flight is delayed.

• If your delay is less than 24 hours, your booking remains active. Make sure you arrive during the Avis counter's operating hours, which are listed on your booking confirmation.
• If your delay exceeds 24 hours, contact Hola Car Rentals as soon as possible via WhatsApp at +1 (786) 999-8312 or by email at [email protected]. Changes are not guaranteed but the team will assist where possible.

Keep in mind that the Avis Rental Car Centre at Fort Lauderdale Airport (FLL) is accessible 24 hours a day via the free RCC shuttle from Terminals 2 through 4, or by the Concourse B pedestrian bridge from Terminal 1. However, individual Avis counter hours may differ from shuttle hours, so confirm your counter's schedule on your confirmation before travelling.

If you arrive outside counter hours, review your confirmation for any after-hours pickup instructions provided for your Fort Lauderdale reservation.

If you return your Avis hire car in Fort Lauderdale after the agreed return time, additional charges may apply once the grace period has passed.

• The standard grace period is typically 30 minutes, though this is not guaranteed and varies by Avis location and hire agreement.
• If you exceed the grace period, Avis may charge for extra hours or an additional hire day, plus any applicable late fees.
• Returning significantly late, such as a full day or more, can result in charges for each additional day at the applicable daily rate.

If you know in advance that you need more time with your Fort Lauderdale Avis vehicle, contact the hire location or request an extension before the scheduled return time. Extensions are subject to vehicle availability and may reprice your hire.

For after-hours returns at the Fort Lauderdale Rental Car Centre, follow the key-drop instructions on your Avis hire agreement. Note that liability for the vehicle may continue until Avis formally checks it in, so document the vehicle's condition with photos at the time of return.
