Will I face unexpected charges at the Avis 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 are the Avis counter locations on the Las Vegas Strip?
Avis operates several counters directly on the Las Vegas Strip, making it convenient to pick up or drop off a vehicle without travelling to the airport.
- Bellagio, 3600 S Las Vegas Boulevard
- The Cosmopolitan, 3708 Las Vegas Boulevard S
- Aria City Center, 3730 S Las Vegas Boulevard
- Park MGM, 3770 S Las Vegas Boulevard
- MGM Grand, 3799 S Las Vegas Boulevard
- Excalibur, 3850 S Las Vegas Boulevard
- Mandalay Bay, 3950 S Las Vegas Boulevard
All Las Vegas Strip Avis counters operate from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM daily. Note the midday break when planning your pickup time. After-hours vehicle drop-off is available at all locations, so you can return the car outside staffed hours. The Cosmopolitan location uniquely offers a free pickup service, which is not available at other Las Vegas Strip Avis properties.
What are the Avis counter hours at Las Vegas Strip hotel locations?
Avis counters at Las Vegas Strip hotel properties maintain limited daily hours compared to the 24-hour airport facility.
Strip location hours are 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM every day, including weekends. There is a midday closure from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM, so plan your arrival accordingly. If you need to pick up outside these windows, the Avis location at Harry Reid International Airport operates 24 hours a day and is located at 7135 Gillespie Street in the McCarran Rent A Car Centre.
All Las Vegas Strip Avis locations offer 24-hour drop-off capability, meaning you can return the vehicle at any time even when the counter is closed. If you anticipate a late arrival or early morning departure from the Las Vegas Strip, consider whether the airport location better fits your schedule. Always confirm your pickup time against counter hours shown on your booking confirmation to avoid arriving during the midday break.
Are there toll roads near the Las Vegas Strip for Avis rentals?
No, there are no toll roads anywhere in Nevada, so driving your Avis rental on or around the Las Vegas Strip will not generate any toll charges.
Nevada funds all public highways, interstates, state routes, and local roads without tolls. This means routes commonly used by Las Vegas Strip visitors, including I-15, US-95, and Las Vegas Boulevard itself, are completely toll-free. No electronic transponder programme such as E-ZPass or FasTrak operates in Nevada, and Avis toll programmes are not necessary for driving in this area.
One important distinction: state park entry fees (for example, Valley of Fire charges approximately US$10 per vehicle) are not tolls and must be paid at the park entrance. These are not rental-related charges and will not appear on your Avis rental invoice.
If you plan to drive your Las Vegas Strip Avis rental into neighbouring California, toll roads do exist there. In that case, the Tolls Cashback benefit included with your booking can reimburse up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during the rental period.
Does my Avis booking on the Las Vegas Strip include Tolls Cashback?
Yes, all bookings include Tolls Cashback, which reimburses up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your rental, even if you pick up your Avis vehicle on the Las Vegas Strip.
Because Nevada has no toll roads, you will not pay any tolls while driving on the Las Vegas Strip or anywhere else in the state. However, if your trip takes you into California or another state with toll roads, the cashback benefit still applies to those charges.
To claim your reimbursement after returning the Avis vehicle:
- Email [email protected] within 30 days of vehicle return
- Include your Hola Car Rentals reservation confirmation
- Attach a copy of the Avis rental agreement signed at pickup
- Provide a receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid
The refund is issued to the same payment method used for your booking and typically processes within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Late submissions received after 30 days are not accepted.
What documents do I need to pick up an Avis rental on the Las Vegas Strip?
To collect your Avis vehicle at a Las Vegas Strip location, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:
- A valid, original driver’s licence in the main driver’s name
- A major credit card with the driver’s name printed on the physical card, for the security deposit hold
- A passport or valid government-issued photo ID
- 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 and must be carried alongside your original licence. For licences in other non-English scripts, an IDP is strongly recommended. Obtain the IDP in your home country before travelling, as it cannot be issued abroad.
At Las Vegas Strip non-airport Avis locations, acceptable secondary ID includes a utility bill or bank statement from the last 60 days matching your licence name and address, a US passport, or a US military ID. All documents must be physical originals; digital copies are not accepted at the Avis counter.
What is the security deposit for an Avis rental on the Las Vegas Strip?
When picking up your Avis vehicle on the Las Vegas Strip, a temporary authorisation hold will be placed on your credit card at the counter. For standard car classes in the United States, this hold is typically around US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount varies by vehicle class, location, and season.
Key points to keep in mind:
- The hold is not a charge; it temporarily reduces your available credit until released after return
- Only a physical major credit card in the main driver’s name with the driver’s name printed on the card is accepted; debit cards and prepaid cards are not permitted
- Premium or speciality vehicles may carry a higher hold amount
- After you return the Avis vehicle, the hold is released, but your bank may take up to 15 business days to reflect the release
Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined. If you are travelling internationally to the Las Vegas Strip, notify your bank before arrival to prevent fraud blocks on the in-person authorisation.
What local taxes and fees apply to an Avis rental at the Las Vegas Strip?
Renting an Avis vehicle on the Las Vegas Strip or at Harry Reid International Airport involves several local taxes and fees on top of the base rate. These charges are set by government authorities and the airport, not by Avis or the booking agency.
Typical charges at Harry Reid International Airport, the main gateway for Las Vegas Strip visitors, include:
- Airport concession recovery fee: approximately 10% of the base rate
- Customer facility charge: approximately GBP 5.75 per day, capped at GBP 43.25
- Nevada state rental tax: approximately 10%
- Clark County rental fee: approximately 10%
- Las Vegas city rental tax: approximately 2% for Strip-area locations
Combined, these add-ons can total 35% to 45% above the base rate, which is higher than many non-tourist airports. Off-airport Avis locations on the Las Vegas Strip may avoid some airport-specific concession fees, which can result in a lower total cost. Always review the taxes and fees section of your booking confirmation to understand exactly what is included versus what is due at the Avis counter.
Is there a young driver surcharge for under-25 renters at Avis on the Las Vegas Strip?
Yes, Avis applies a young driver surcharge to renters aged 21 to 24 on the Las Vegas Strip, as is standard across the United States.
The Avis underage fee is US$13 per rental day plus applicable taxes, with a maximum charge of US$65 plus taxes for the rental period. Drivers must be at least 21 years old to rent; those under 21 cannot rent from Avis in Nevada.
Additional restrictions for under-25 renters include:
- Vehicle class limitations: premium, luxury, full-size SUV, minivan, convertible, and van categories are typically restricted to drivers aged 25 and older
- Additional drivers aged 21 to 24 may also be subject to the surcharge or may not be accepted at the Las Vegas Strip Avis counter
One exception applies: if you are a main driver aged 21 to 24 from Latin America or the Caribbean, certain Avis rates waive the underage fee when the waiver is explicitly shown on your booking confirmation and you select an eligible vehicle category such as economy, compact, medium sedan, standard sedan, compact SUV, or medium SUV. Bring your passport as proof of nationality at the Las Vegas Strip Avis counter.
Does my Avis rental on the Las Vegas Strip include travel assistance coverage?
Yes, most bookings include Travel Assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection, and this benefit applies to your Avis rental on the Las Vegas Strip.
This coverage is particularly relevant if you experience a medical emergency or accident while driving in the Las Vegas area, where highways like I-15 can be congested and incidents may require legal or medical support. Core benefits typically include:
- Travel insurance with medical coverage for up to 5 passengers
- Legal assistance in the event of an accident
- Compensation for luggage lost by the airline
- Flight cancellation insurance
To use the assistance, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day at +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free) or via WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call.
Important: this benefit does not apply to US or Canadian residents. It covers non-North American travellers only. It also does not cover damage to the Avis rental vehicle itself (that is handled by CDW/LDW) or third-party liability (covered by LIS/ALI/SLI). Always check your booking confirmation for the exact terms applicable to your reservation.
Can I add an additional driver to my Avis rental on the Las Vegas Strip?
Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Avis rental on the Las Vegas Strip, but the additional driver must be present at the counter during pickup with their own valid driver’s licence.
For Avis on the Las Vegas Strip, the additional driver fee is US$13 per rental day plus taxes, with a maximum charge of US$65 plus taxes. If your booking confirmation explicitly states that an additional driver is included at no charge, no fee applies for the first extra driver.
Requirements for adding a driver at the Las Vegas Strip Avis counter:
- The additional driver must appear in person at pickup
- They must present a valid driver’s licence and any required IDP if their licence uses a non-Latin alphabet
- For Avis, additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old; drivers aged 21 to 24 may be subject to the underage surcharge or may not be accepted
- Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement
Only drivers listed on the Avis rental agreement are covered by protections such as CDW/LDW and liability coverage. Anyone not named on the contract who drives the vehicle may void those protections entirely.
What is the fuel policy for Avis rentals on the Las Vegas Strip?
Avis rentals on the Las Vegas Strip 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.
Steps to avoid fuel charges:
- At pickup, verify the fuel gauge with the Avis agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on the rental agreement
- Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and fuel gauge
- Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the return location before dropping off the vehicle
- Keep your final fuel receipt as proof in case of any dispute
Note that fuel prices near the Las Vegas Strip tend to run 10% to 20% above the US National average due to tourism demand and limited stations in the immediate area. For better prices, stations away from Las Vegas Boulevard, such as those near residential areas off the Strip, are typically less expensive.
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 often higher than retail pump prices, plus an administrative service fee.
What insurance options are available for my Avis rental on the Las Vegas Strip?
When picking up your Avis vehicle on the Las Vegas Strip, you will be offered several insurance and protection options 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 rental vehicle from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation shows zero excess. This does not cover damage you cause to other vehicles or people.
- Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI): covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving. Nevada does not mandate a specific state minimum for rental cars in all cases, so this coverage is strongly recommended for Las Vegas Strip driving, where pedestrian traffic and congestion are high.
- Personal Accident Insurance (PAI): covers your own injuries and those of passengers.
- Personal Effects Coverage (PEC): covers personal belongings inside the vehicle.
Check your booking confirmation before arriving at the Las Vegas Strip Avis counter. If CDW/LDW or liability coverage is already included in your rate, declining duplicates at the counter can save money. Your personal auto insurance or credit card may also extend some coverage; confirm with your provider before travel.
Can I pick up my Avis rental at the Las Vegas Strip and return it to a different city?
Yes, one-way rentals are possible with Avis, allowing you to pick up on the Las Vegas Strip and return the vehicle to a different location, but a drop-off fee typically applies and must be reviewed before booking.
Key points about one-way Avis rentals from the Las Vegas Strip:
- The drop-off fee is route-specific and varies by destination, vehicle class, and season
- The fee is listed under the "To pay at destination" section during the booking process and on your confirmation; if no fee appears, no one-way charge applies to your route
- This fee cannot be pre-paid and is paid directly at the Avis counter
- Cross-border one-way rentals (for example, Las Vegas Strip to a location in another country) may be restricted or carry significantly higher fees; confirm with Avis before booking
- Changing your return location after booking may reprice the rental and recalculate the drop-off fee
If the Avis counter charges a drop-off fee that differs from what was shown on your confirmation, keep all paperwork and contact support after the rental. The No Extra Charges© guarantee can help resolve undisclosed fees after verification.
