No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your booking in Vermont 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 Vermont 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 Burlington International Airport (BTV) in Vermont is located inside the terminal near the baggage claim area. Rental vehicles are parked just outside baggage claim, so the walk from the counter to your car is short.

To find the Avis desk, follow the "Arrivals" or "Baggage Claim" signs after landing. If you arrive late at night, follow the "Rental Cars" signs to the counter and then proceed to the adjacent covered parking garage to collect your vehicle.

Avis Preferred members can show their driver’s licence at the counter to receive preprinted hire documents and keys, speeding up the process. The BTV Avis counter is open Sunday through Saturday, 07:00 AM to 12:15 AM, and a 24-hour key drop box is available for after-hours returns.

The only other Avis location in Vermont is a downtown office at 254 S Main St, Rutland, open Monday through Friday 08:00 AM to 06:00 PM and Saturday 08:00 AM to 03:00 PM. There is no confirmed Avis counter at a downtown Burlington location.

Vermont has no interstate toll highways, so the vast majority of driving in your Avis hire will be completely toll-free. The only toll facilities in Vermont are three short, seasonal mountain toll roads:

• Mt. Equinox Skyline Drive (off VT Route 7A, Manchester): US$20 per car plus US$5 per extra passenger, paid in cash at the gate
• Burke Mountain toll road (off Mountain Road): US$5 per vehicle or US$15 for an all-day pass, paid in cash
• Mt. Mansfield toll road (off Highway 108, Stowe): US$26 per car plus US$9.50 per extra passenger, paid by credit card only

These roads are not part of any electronic toll network such as E-ZPass or FasTrak. Payment is made directly at the gate in cash or by credit card, depending on the road. No transponder, toll programme, or plate-based billing applies, so your Avis hire will not receive any toll invoices or administrative surcharges from these roads.

Vermont also has no congestion charges or emissions zones. If you plan to drive your Avis hire beyond Vermont into neighbouring states that do have electronic tolls, standard toll billing through the vehicle's transponder may apply in those areas.

Returning your Avis hire at Burlington International Airport (BTV) in Vermont is straightforward. As you approach the airport on Airport Drive, stay in the left lane and follow the "Rental Car Return" signs. Avis has a designated return section in the covered parking garage near baggage claim.

Before heading to the airport, refuel along Williston Road (Route 2) or Airport Drive, both of which have petrol stations conveniently located for a quick top-up before return. Avis uses a Full-to-Full fuel policy, meaning you received the car with a full tank and must return it full to avoid a refuelling charge plus a service fee.

If you are returning outside counter hours (the BTV Avis counter closes at 12:15 AM), use the secure after-hours key drop box at the location. Follow the return signs as usual, park in the Avis section, and deposit your keys and any paperwork in the drop box. Keep a photo of the fuel gauge and odometer before leaving the vehicle.

For returns at the Rutland Vermont Avis location (254 S Main St), standard return procedures apply. Note that the Rutland counter is not open on Sundays, so plan accordingly if your hire ends on that day.

Yes, Tolls Cashback is included on all Hola Car Rentals bookings, including your Avis hire in Vermont, and it applies to tolls paid anywhere during your hire period, including neighbouring states.

Because Vermont itself has no electronic toll highways, most of your driving in the state will be toll-free. However, if you drive your Avis hire into nearby states such as New York, Massachusetts, or New Hampshire, which do have electronic toll roads, those toll charges are eligible for the cashback benefit.

You can receive up to 5% of your total booking value back for tolls paid. Here is how it works:

• If your Hola Car Rentals booking total is US$500, the maximum cashback is US$25
• If you paid US$18 in tolls, you receive US$18 back
• If you paid US$40 in tolls, you receive US$25 (the 5% cap)

To claim, email [email protected] within 30 days of returning your Avis vehicle in Vermont. Include your Hola Car Rentals reservation confirmation, the signed hire agreement, and a receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid. Refunds are processed to your original payment method within 7 to 10 business days after approval.

To collect your Avis hire in Vermont, you must bring the following physical documents to the counter:

• A valid, original driver’s licence (not a digital copy)
• A major credit card with your name printed on the physical card, in the main driver’s name, for the authorisation 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 is not in English and does not use a Latin (Roman) alphabet, for example if it is in Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory alongside your original licence. For licences in other non-English scripts, an IDP is strongly recommended. The IDP is a translation only and cannot be used without your original licence.

Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted for the authorisation hold at the Avis counter in Vermont. Even if you prepaid your booking, you must still present a physical major credit card at collection. The typical authorisation hold for a standard vehicle at a U.S. Avis location is approximately US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount is set by the counter.

All documents must be physical originals. Digital versions shown on a phone or tablet will not be accepted.

Yes, drivers aged 21 to 24 renting from Avis in Vermont are subject to a young-renter surcharge. The Avis fee is US$13 per hire day plus applicable taxes, with a maximum charge of US$65 plus taxes for the hire period.

Drivers under 21 are generally not permitted to hire from Avis in Vermont. The minimum age without a surcharge is 25.

There is one notable exception: if you are a traveller from Latin America or the Caribbean (LAC) aged 21 to 24, certain Hola Car Rentals rates fulfilled by Avis waive the underage fee for the main driver. To qualify, all of the following must be true:

• You are the main driver and are between 21 and 24 years old
• You hold a passport or government ID from a Latin American or Caribbean country
• Your Hola Car Rentals confirmation explicitly states the underage fee is waived
• You select an eligible vehicle category such as Economy, Compact, Medium Sedan, Standard Sedan, Compact SUV, or Medium SUV

This exception does not apply to travellers from Europe, Asia, Africa, or other regions, who will be charged the standard Avis young-renter surcharge in Vermont. Additional drivers aged 21 to 24 are also not covered by this exception and must generally be at least 25 years old to be added to an Avis contract.

Yes, one-way hires from Vermont Avis locations to other states are generally possible, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on the route, vehicle class, and season.

When booking, the Hola Car Rentals checkout will show any applicable drop-off fee under the "To pay at destination" section on the rate details page. This fee is set by Avis and is not prepaid through your booking. Common patterns to expect:

• Vermont to a nearby state such as New York or Massachusetts: a drop-off fee typically applies and varies by distance and vehicle class
• Long-distance or cross-country routes: fees are usually higher and some routes may not be available
• Same-city airport to downtown within Vermont: often no drop-off fee

If you want to return your Avis hire between the two Vermont locations, for example picking up at Burlington International Airport (BTV) and dropping off at the Rutland location on S Main St, check availability and any applicable fee during booking, as inter-location returns within Vermont may or may not carry a charge.

Changing your drop-off location after booking may reprice the hire and recalculate the fee. Always confirm the drop-off fee on your booking confirmation before travel, and verify it matches what the Avis counter presents at collection in Vermont.

When hiring from Avis in Vermont, two main types of cover are worth understanding before you arrive at the counter.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) reduces your financial liability for damage to the Avis vehicle itself, including collision, theft, and vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation shows zero excess. CDW/LDW 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 your Avis hire in Vermont. Some U.S. states require hire companies to include a state-minimum liability amount, but not all states do. Vermont renters are strongly encouraged to add Liability Insurance Supplementary (up to US$300,000) to their booking for adequate protection.

Common exclusions to be aware of across both coverages include:

• Prohibited use such as off-road driving, DUI, or unauthorised drivers
• Tires, undercarriage, and roof damage (often excluded unless a specific add-on is purchased)
• Incidents not reported promptly to Avis

Check your Hola Car Rentals confirmation to see which coverages are included in your selected rate before arriving at the Avis counter in Vermont. Adding all drivers to the hire agreement is essential, as cover applies only to named drivers.

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

For eligible travellers, the cover is particularly useful in Vermont given the state's rural character and mountain roads, where incidents can occur far from urban services. Core benefits typically include:

• Travel insurance with 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

This cover does not protect the Avis hire vehicle itself (that is CDW/LDW) or cover pre-existing medical conditions. It is designed for accidents and non-pre-existing illnesses that occur during your trip.

If you need assistance during your Avis hire in Vermont, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day, 7 days a week:

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

Have your full name and Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call. Always check your specific booking confirmation for the exact cover terms and limits that apply to your reservation.

Avis rentals in Vermont follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid 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 fuel gauge before leaving the lot.

When returning your Avis vehicle in Vermont, refuel close to the return location to avoid the gauge dropping before you arrive. Convenient options near Burlington International Airport (BTV) include petrol stations along Williston Road (Route 2) and Airport Drive, both just minutes from the terminal.

If you return the vehicle below the recorded starting level, Avis may charge:

• A fuel shortfall at the partner's refuelling rate, which is typically higher than retail pump prices
• A refuelling service fee on top of the fuel cost

Keep your final fuel receipt showing the station address, date, and time. For after-hours returns at BTV, leave the receipt in the key drop envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge on your phone as evidence.

If the Avis vehicle was not full at pickup, ask the agent to record the exact level on the agreement. You are only required to return it at that same recorded level, not necessarily full.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Avis hire in Vermont, but the additional driver must be present at the counter at collection with a valid driver’s licence to sign the hire agreement.

Whether the fee is included depends on your rate. Check your Hola Car Rentals confirmation for the line "Additional driver free of charge." If it is not included, Avis charges US$13 per hire day plus taxes, with a maximum of US$65 plus taxes for the full hire period.

Important rules for additional drivers on Avis hires in Vermont:

• The additional driver must be at least 25 years old at the time of collection for Avis in Vermont
• They must meet the same document requirements as the main driver, including an IDP if their licence uses a non-Latin alphabet
• Only drivers listed on the hire agreement are covered by CDW/LDW and liability protections
• If someone drives who is not named on the contract, cover may be void

If you need to add a driver after collection, visit an Avis branch in Vermont to update the agreement. Phone or chat requests alone are generally not sufficient to add a driver mid-hire. Only the first additional driver may be included in eligible rates; any further drivers will incur the standard daily fee.

When you collect your Avis hire in Vermont, a temporary authorisation hold will be placed 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 U.S. Avis locations, the typical hold is approximately US$300 to US$400. The exact amount depends on the vehicle class, location, and season. Premium or speciality vehicles may carry a higher hold.

Key requirements for the deposit at the Avis counter in Vermont:

• A physical, major credit card with the main driver’s name printed on the card is required
• Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted for the deposit
• The card must have sufficient available credit to cover the hold plus any expected charges
• Digital wallets such as Apple Pay or Google Pay are not accepted at the counter

Even if you prepaid your Avis booking through Hola Car Rentals, you must still present a physical credit card at the Vermont collection point for the hold. After you return the vehicle, Avis releases the hold, but your bank controls when the credit reappears on your account, which can take up to 15 working days. Bringing a backup credit card is recommended in case your primary card is declined.

If your flight is delayed and you arrive later than your scheduled Avis collection time in Vermont, your reservation will generally be held for up to 24 hours from the original collection time, provided you arrive during counter operating hours.

The Avis counter at Burlington International Airport (BTV) in Vermont is open Sunday through Saturday from 07:00 AM to 12:15 AM. If your delay pushes your arrival outside those hours, you will need to wait until the counter reopens. Plan ahead if your flight is expected to land close to the 12:15 AM closing time.

If your delay is less than 24 hours from your original collection time, no action is typically needed beyond arriving as soon as possible. If your delay will exceed 24 hours, contact Hola Car Rentals support as soon as possible:

• WhatsApp: +1 (786) 999-8312
• Email: [email protected]

Changes in these situations are not guaranteed, but the support team will assist where possible. If the booking is forfeited due to a delay beyond 24 hours without prior contact, a refund may not apply depending on the cancellation policy for your Avis rate in Vermont. Always check your confirmation for the specific cancellation and hold terms that apply to your reservation.
