No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your booking in New Jersey 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 New Jersey 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 Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in New Jersey is located on the 3rd floor of the car park at 132 Carson Rd.

• Terminal A arrivals: follow signs over the sky bridge directly into the car park, then take the escalator up to the 3rd floor to reach the Avis counter. The Avis Preferred counter is on the left.
• Terminals B or C arrivals: take the AirTrain to Terminal A, then follow the sky bridge to the car park and take the escalator to the 3rd floor.

The Avis counter at EWR is open 24 hours daily, and 24-hour drop-off is available. If you are returning the vehicle, follow the same car park signs for the Avis return area.

Yes, Avis has multiple off-airport locations across New Jersey in addition to its airport counters.

Off-airport Avis locations in New Jersey include:

• Jersey City: Newport Centre Mall (inside the mall on the main level) and 129 Montgomery St
• Wayne: 1105 State Route 23
• Newark centre: locations in the 07102, 07103, and 07108 postcode areas
• Additional locations in Hoboken, Deptford, Matawan, Bridgewater/Somerville, and Piscataway

Off-airport Avis locations in New Jersey typically have more limited hours than the airport counter. For example, the Wayne location operates Monday to Friday 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM and Saturday to Sunday 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Off-airport hires may also avoid certain airport concession fees, though standard local taxes and charges still apply. Always confirm hours directly with the specific location before your collection.

New Jersey has an extensive toll road network, and driving an Avis hire in New Jersey means you will very likely encounter tolls, especially on the New Jersey Turnpike, Garden State Parkway, and Atlantic City Expressway.

Tolling in New Jersey is mostly cashless, using the E-ZPass electronic system. Approximate toll costs for common routes include:

• New Jersey Turnpike (Philadelphia to New York City, 78 miles): starting at approximately US$0.95, increasing with distance
• Garden State Parkway (Cape May to Montvale, 172 miles): at least US$1.90 for the full length
• Atlantic City Expressway (full length): approximately US$5.50

Your Avis hire vehicle in New Jersey comes equipped with a toll device. At collection you can choose between:

• An unlimited toll package (typically US$11 to US$25 per day), which covers all tolls during the hire
• Pay-per-use, where Avis charges each toll plus an administrative processing fee after the hire ends

If you opt out of both options and drive a cashless-only gantry without a personal transponder, you may be charged up to 3 times the toll amount (maximum US$5 per toll) under New Jersey regulations. Toll charges can appear on your card days or even weeks after you return the vehicle.

Yes, all bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include Tolls Cashback, which lets you recover up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your Avis hire in New Jersey.

Given that New Jersey has some of the busiest toll roads in the United States, including the New Jersey Turnpike, Garden State Parkway, and crossings into New York City, this benefit can add up quickly.

To claim your Tolls Cashback:

• 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 signed hire agreement, and a toll receipt or statement showing charges paid during the hire period

The refund is issued to the same payment method used for your booking and typically processes within 7 to 10 working days after approval. Late 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.

To pick up an Avis hire car in New Jersey, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:

• A valid, original driving licence (not a digital copy) 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 security deposit authorisation
• 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 driving 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 other non-English licences, an IDP is strongly recommended. The IDP is a translation only and cannot be used without the original licence.

Avis in New Jersey, like all hire partners, requires all documents to be physical. Digital versions shown on a phone are not accepted. Debit and prepay cards are not accepted for the security deposit authorisation.

When picking up an Avis hire in New Jersey, a temporary authorisation hold is placed on your credit card at the counter. For standard vehicles in the United States, this hold is typically around US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount can vary depending on the vehicle class, location, and season.

Important points about the deposit:

• The hold is not a charge; it temporarily reduces your available credit until released after you return the vehicle
• Premium or speciality vehicles may require a higher hold amount
• Only a major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card is accepted; debit cards and prepay cards are not accepted
• After you return the Avis vehicle in New Jersey, the hold is released, but your bank may take up to 15 working days to reflect the release on your account

Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined. If you are travelling internationally, notify your bank before arrival to prevent fraud blocks on the in-person authorisation.

Yes, drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent an Avis car in New Jersey, but a young-driver surcharge applies and most vehicle classes are restricted.

Key rules for under-25 renters at Avis in New Jersey:

• Drivers aged 21 to 24 pay a daily young-driver fee of US$13 per day plus taxes, capped at US$65 plus taxes for the hire period
• Most vehicle classes such as full-size saloons, SUVs, minivans, luxury, and premium vehicles are restricted to renters aged 25 and older
• Economy, compact, medium saloon, standard saloon, compact SUV, and medium SUV categories are generally available to younger renters

There is one notable exception for Avis in New Jersey: if you are a citizen or resident of Latin America or the Caribbean, aged 21 to 24, and your Hola Car Rentals confirmation explicitly shows the underage fee waived, Avis may waive the young-driver surcharge for the main driver. This exception applies only to eligible vehicle categories and must appear on your booking confirmation to be valid at the counter.

Additional drivers aged 21 to 24 at Avis in New Jersey are generally not covered by this exception and may be subject to the surcharge or denied.

If you drive your Avis hire from New Jersey into Manhattan south of and including 60th Street, you will be subject to New York City's Congestion Relief Zone toll, charged at approximately US$8.99 plus taxes and fees per day.

This charge is separate from New Jersey toll roads and applies specifically to driving on local streets within the congestion zone in Manhattan. Key details:

• The zone covers most of Manhattan from the southern tip of the island up to and including 60th Street
• Cameras automatically detect vehicles entering the area; there are no traditional toll booths
• You can travel on the FDR Drive or West Side Highway (Route 9A) without being charged, as long as you do not exit onto local streets within the zone
• The charge is billed through the Avis toll programme and may appear on your card days or weeks after the hire ends

Many visitors hiring from Avis in New Jersey plan day trips into New York City, so budgeting for this fee in addition to bridge and tunnel crossings (approximately US$15 to US$25 per crossing) is important. The Hola Car Rentals Tolls Cashback benefit can help offset some of these costs.

Yes, most bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection, and this applies to Avis hires in New Jersey as well.

This benefit is especially relevant if you are driving New Jersey highways such as the Turnpike or Garden State Parkway and experience a medical emergency or other travel disruption. Coverage typically includes:

• 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 reach assistance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week:

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

Provide your full name, your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number, your location in New Jersey, and a brief description of the situation. Important: this cover does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada. It also does not cover damage to the Avis hire vehicle itself; that is handled by CDW/LDW cover.

Avis hires in New Jersey 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 follow:

• 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 fuel gauge
• Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the return location before dropping off the vehicle
• Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address

If you return the Avis vehicle in New Jersey 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 locations such as EWR, leave the receipt in the key envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge on your phone.

Note that Avis in New Jersey may apply a flat low-mileage fuel fee if the vehicle is driven fewer than 75 miles during the hire, which is reversible with a fuel receipt. Always confirm the starting fuel level is written on your agreement before leaving the counter.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Avis hire in New Jersey, either as part of your booking or at the counter during collection.

If your Hola Car Rentals confirmation shows additional driver included, the first extra driver is free of charge. If it is not included, Avis in New Jersey charges US$13 per hire day plus taxes, with a maximum cap of US$65 plus taxes for the hire period.

Requirements for adding an additional driver at Avis in New Jersey:

• The additional driver must be present at the collection counter
• They must present a valid driving licence and any required ID
• For Avis in New Jersey, additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the hire agreement

Only drivers listed on the Avis hire agreement are covered by protections such as CDW/LDW. If someone drives who is not named on the contract, cover may be void and additional charges could apply. If you need to add a driver after collection, visit an Avis branch in New Jersey to update the agreement.

Yes, hiring from Avis at New Jersey airports such as Newark Liberty International (EWR), Atlantic City International (ACY), or Trenton-Mercer (TTN) typically involves additional fees beyond the base hire rate.

Common airport-related fees you may see on your Avis hire in New Jersey include:

• Airport concession recovery fee (ACRF): charged by Avis to recover the cost of operating at the airport
• Customer facility charge (CFC): a per-day or per-hire fee set by the airport authority
• Vehicle licence recovery fee (VLRF): covers registration and licensing costs
• State and local hire taxes and surcharges specific to New Jersey

These fees are standard at U.S. airport hire locations and are not unique to Avis. Off-airport Avis locations in New Jersey, such as the Jersey City Newport Centre Mall or Wayne locations, may avoid some of these airport-specific fees, though local taxes still apply.

Your booking confirmation will show which fees are included in your prepaid rate and which are due at the counter. If your confirmation states taxes and charges are included and you are still charged at the counter, the Hola Car Rentals No Extra Charges© guarantee may apply.

Yes, after-hours returns are available at some Avis locations in New Jersey, but the process and liability rules vary by location.

• Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR): the Avis counter is open 24 hours daily, so after-hours returns are handled by staff on site. No key drop is needed.
• Trenton-Mercer Airport (TTN): a key drop box is available for after-hours returns. However, if you use the drop box, you remain responsible for any damage or theft to the Avis vehicle until the next working day when staff inspect it.
• Off-airport locations such as Wayne: standard hours apply (Monday to Friday 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM, Saturday to Sunday 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM). After-hours key drop availability varies; confirm with the specific New Jersey location before your hire.

For any after-hours return at an Avis location in New Jersey, take photos of the vehicle condition and fuel gauge before leaving, and keep your fuel receipt. If a key drop envelope is provided, place the receipt inside. Your hire agreement remains active until Avis staff formally close the contract, so document everything carefully to avoid disputes over damage or fuel charges.
