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

Yes, Avis has a dedicated pickup process at St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL) in Missouri that differs depending on your membership status.

• Preferred (Avis Preferred) members can go directly to the counter located inside the baggage claim area to collect their keys without waiting in line.
• Standard renters should exit through the East Terminal door MT17 and board the Avis courtesy bus, or call the number posted at the terminal to request pickup.
• Alternatively, you can reach the Avis lot on foot via Highway 70 Exit 236 to Natural Bridge Road.

The STL Avis counter operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so there is no need to worry about arriving on a late-night flight. Have your booking confirmation, driver's license, and credit card ready before approaching the counter.

At Kansas City International Airport (MCI) in Missouri, Avis operates a shuttle-based pickup system.

• After collecting your bags, go to the baggage claim median and look for the grey and black Avis shuttle bus.
• The shuttle ride takes approximately 5 to 8 minutes to reach the rental facility.
• Once at the counter, the walk from the Avis desk to the vehicle lot is short, typically between 50 and 400 feet.

Counter hours at MCI for Avis in Missouri are Monday through Friday and Sunday from 07:30 to 01:00, and Saturday from 07:30 to 23:00. If you are arriving outside those hours, plan your itinerary accordingly or contact the location in advance. Have your booking confirmation, a valid driver's license, and a major credit card in the main driver's name ready at the counter.

Missouri has only one toll facility: the Lake of the Ozarks Community Bridge on State Highway MM. This is important to know before picking up your Avis rental car in Missouri.

• The bridge is cash-only. There are no electronic transponders, cashless lanes, or invoice options available.
• For a standard 2-axle passenger vehicle (the type you would typically rent from Avis), the toll is US$3.00 during summer months (May through September) and US$2.00 at other times of the year.
• You cannot cross without paying cash at the booth, so carry small bills if your Missouri itinerary takes you through that area.

Because the bridge is cash-only, the electronic toll programs that Avis may offer at other destinations are not applicable here. Missouri has no congestion charges, emissions zones, or other city-center driving fees, so outside of this one bridge, you can drive your Avis rental across Missouri without any toll concerns.

Yes, all bookings made through Hola Car Rentals, including Avis rentals in Missouri, include Tolls Cashback of up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your rental.

Missouri has only one toll road, the Lake of the Ozarks Community Bridge, which charges US$2.00 to US$3.00 for a standard passenger car and accepts cash only. If you cross that bridge in your Avis rental, you can claim that amount back through the Tolls Cashback benefit. If your Missouri trip takes you into neighboring states with more extensive toll networks, those tolls are also eligible.

• Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning your Avis vehicle.
• Include your Hola Car Rentals reservation confirmation, the signed rental agreement, and a receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid.
• Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback, followed by your reservation number.

Refunds are issued to the original payment method and typically process within 7 to 10 business days after approval.

To collect your Avis rental car in Missouri, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:

• A valid, original driver's license in the main driver's name. Digital copies are not accepted.
• A major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card, used for the security deposit hold. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the deposit.
• A passport or valid government-issued photo ID.
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher.
• If you are visiting from abroad, round-trip flight or cruise tickets may also be requested.

If your driver's license 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 license. For other non-English licenses, an IDP is strongly recommended. Obtain the IDP in your home country before traveling, as it cannot be issued abroad. The Avis counter in Missouri follows these standard requirements, and all documents must be physical originals.

Yes, Avis in Missouri applies a young-renter surcharge for drivers aged 21 to 24. Missouri follows the standard U.S. rule where 25 is the minimum age to rent without an additional daily fee.

• Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent from Avis in Missouri but will pay a daily underage surcharge at the counter.
• Most vehicle classes, including full-size sedans, SUVs, minivans, luxury, and premium categories, are restricted to renters aged 25 and older.
• Eligible vehicle classes for under-25 renters typically include economy, compact, medium sedan, standard sedan, compact SUV, and medium SUV.

There is one notable exception: if you are from Latin America or the Caribbean, aged 21 to 24, and your Hola Car Rentals confirmation explicitly states that the underage fee is waived, Avis in Missouri may waive that surcharge for the main driver. This exception applies only to eligible vehicle categories and must be confirmed on your booking confirmation before arriving at the Avis counter in Missouri.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Avis rental in Missouri, but the additional driver must be present at the counter at the time of pickup with their own valid driver's license.

Whether the fee is included depends on your rate:

• If your booking confirmation states additional driver is included, the first extra driver is free of charge.
• If not included, Avis in Missouri charges US$13 per rental day plus taxes, with a maximum cap of US$65 plus taxes for the additional driver.

For Avis in Missouri, 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 as additional drivers depending on location rules. Only drivers listed on the Avis rental agreement are covered by protections such as CDW and liability coverage, so never allow an unlisted person to drive the vehicle.

Yes, several Avis locations in Missouri offer after-hours drop-off, though availability varies by location.

• St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL): The Avis counter operates 24 hours a day, so after-hours drop-off is available at any time.
• Spirit of St. Louis Airport (SUS): Avis offers 24-hour drop-off at this location, even though the counter closes at 17:00 on weekdays and 12:00 on Saturdays. A key drop slot is available for after-hours returns.
• Tesson Ferry Road location in St. Louis: Also offers 24-hour drop-off with a key drop facility.
• Kansas City International Airport (MCI): Counter hours run until 01:00 on most nights; after-hours key drop availability should be confirmed directly with the location.
• Downtown St. Louis locations such as the Westin Hotel and Olive Street have more limited hours (generally closing by 18:00 on weekdays and 13:00 on Saturdays).

When returning your Avis vehicle in Missouri after hours, leave the receipt in the provided envelope and keep a photo of the fuel gauge and odometer as proof of the vehicle's condition at return.

Most bookings made through Hola Car Rentals, including Avis rentals in Missouri, include travel assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection. This benefit is particularly useful if you experience an emergency while driving through Missouri's more remote areas, such as the Ozarks region.

Coverage typically includes:

• Travel insurance with medical coverage 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 reach the assistance line 24 hours a day, call +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free) or contact via WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call.

Important: this benefit applies only to non-North American customers. Residents of the United States and Canada do not qualify for this travel assistance. Always review your specific booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your Avis rental in Missouri.

Yes, Avis operates both airport and downtown locations across Missouri, giving you flexibility depending on where you are staying.

Airport locations in Missouri include:

• St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL), open 24 hours.
• Kansas City International Airport (MCI).
• Spirit of St. Louis Airport (SUS) in Chesterfield.
• Springfield/Branson National Airport (SGF).
• Joplin Regional Airport (JLN).

Off-airport Avis locations in Missouri include several sites in the St. Louis area, such as the Westin Hotel at 811 Spruce Street, Live! by Loews at 799 Clark Avenue, Olive Street at 2925 Olive Street, Tesson Ferry Road at 12232 Tesson Ferry Road, and Des Peres at 13009 Manchester Road. Kansas City also has a downtown Avis location on Main Street. A city location is available in Columbia as well.

Downtown Avis locations in Missouri generally operate Monday through Friday from 07:00 to 18:00, with reduced hours on weekends. Confirm the hours for your specific location before planning your pickup.

Yes, Avis supports one-way rentals between locations in Missouri, for example picking up in St. Louis and returning in Kansas City, though a drop-off fee may apply depending on the route.

Here is what to expect:

• One-way fees are route-specific and vary by distance, vehicle class, and season. They are not included in the base rate and must be paid at the Avis counter in Missouri at pickup.
• The fee will be shown on your booking confirmation under the section labeled to pay at destination if it applies to your route.
• Avis downtown Kansas City also offers one-way options to and from the airport within Missouri.

If you need to change your drop-off location after booking, contact support as soon as possible, since mid-rental route changes must be approved by the Avis partner location and may increase the fee or affect availability. Always review your confirmation carefully before arriving at the Avis counter in Missouri to avoid surprises.

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

• Typical holds for Avis in the United States, including Missouri, are approximately US$300 to US$400 for standard vehicle classes.
• Premium or specialty vehicles may carry higher holds.
• The hold must be placed on a major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card. Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted for the deposit.
• After you return the Avis vehicle in Missouri, the hold is released, but your bank controls when it appears back on your available credit, which can take up to 15 business days.

To avoid issues, notify your bank of your travel plans before arriving in Missouri, ensure your card has sufficient available credit beyond the hold amount, and bring a backup credit card in the main driver's name as a precaution.

The insurance included in your Avis rental in Missouri depends on the rate plan you selected when booking through Hola Car Rentals.

Key points to understand:

• Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) reduces your financial liability for damage to the Avis rental vehicle itself. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation states zero deductible.
• Third-party liability (LIS/ALI/SLI) covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others. In Missouri, Avis does not automatically provide automobile liability insurance and property damage protection unless the renter does not carry a personal automobile insurance policy. We strongly recommend adding supplemental liability coverage to your Avis booking in Missouri.
• CDW and LDW do not cover third-party injuries or damage to other vehicles. Those require separate liability coverage.

Always review your Hola Car Rentals confirmation to confirm exactly which protections are included in your Avis rate for Missouri, and verify the details again on the rental agreement at the counter before signing. If you are unsure, ask the Avis agent in Missouri to walk you through each line item.
