Will I face unexpected charges at the Budget counter at Disney Orlando when I book through Hola Car Rentals?
No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your booking at Disney Orlando 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 at Disney Orlando 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 is the Budget counter located at Disney Orlando?
The Budget counter at Disney Orlando is located inside the DoubleTree by Hilton at Disney World Resort, at 2305 Hotel Plaza Blvd, Orlando, FL 32830. This on-site location, known as Budget location M03, is a corporate counter situated near Disney Springs and does not require a shuttle or airport transfer to reach.
Counter hours for this Budget Disney Orlando location are:
- Monday through Friday: 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM
- Saturday: 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM
- Sunday: 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM
- Closed on select holidays, including New Year's Day
After-hours pickup is not available at this Budget location. If you return the vehicle outside operating hours, a key drop box is available, but you remain liable for the vehicle until the next business day. Plan your arrival and return times around these hours to avoid complications.
How do toll roads work when renting a Budget car at Disney Orlando?
Toll roads are very common around Disney Orlando, and nearly all of them are cashless. When you pick up your Budget hire at Disney Orlando, the vehicle will already include an electronic toll device or a plate-based billing system.
Common toll roads you are likely to use near Disney Orlando include SR-528, SR-417, and SR-408, with estimated daily toll costs of approximately US$5 to US$15 depending on your route.
At the Budget counter, you will typically have two options:
- Unlimited toll package: approximately US$6.95 per day for Budget, capped at US$34.75 per month, covering all tolls incurred during the hire
- Pay per use: the actual toll amount plus administrative or processing fees billed to your credit card, sometimes weeks after the hire ends
You may also opt out and purchase your own Florida visitor toll pass. If you do, inform the Budget agent at the Disney Orlando counter so they can deactivate the vehicle's default device and prevent duplicate charges.
Hola Car Rentals includes Tolls Cashback on all bookings, letting you recover up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid. Submit your claim within 30 days of returning the vehicle.
What documents do I need to pick up a Budget car at Disney Orlando?
To collect your Budget hire at Disney Orlando, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:
- A valid, unexpired driver's licence in the main driver's name (physical original, not a digital copy)
- A major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card, in the main driver's name, 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 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 required alongside your original licence. For licences in English or issued by an EU or EEA country, an IDP is recommended but not mandatory.
Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit at the Budget Disney Orlando counter. All documents must be physical; digital versions on a phone or tablet will not be accepted.
Does Hola Car Rentals offer toll cashback for Budget rentals at Disney Orlando?
Yes, Hola Car Rentals includes Tolls Cashback on all bookings, including Budget rentals at Disney Orlando, allowing you to recover up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your hire.
Disney Orlando sits in one of Florida's most toll-heavy areas. Routes like SR-417, SR-528, and SR-408 are fully cashless and commonly used when driving to or from the resort area, so toll costs can add up quickly.
To claim your Tolls Cashback after your Budget Disney Orlando hire:
- 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 reservation confirmation, the signed hire agreement, and a toll invoice or statement showing 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. Claims submitted after 30 days are not accepted, so act promptly once your Budget hire at Disney Orlando is complete.
Is a credit card required to pick up a Budget hire at Disney Orlando?
Yes, a major credit card in the main driver's name with the driver's name printed on the card is required to pick up your Budget hire at Disney Orlando. The card is used to place a temporary authorisation hold, not a charge, on your available credit.
For standard vehicles at UK locations, the typical authorisation hold is approximately GBP 300 to GBP 400, though the exact amount is set by the Budget counter and may vary by vehicle class or season.
Important things to keep in mind at the Disney Orlando counter:
- Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted for the deposit hold
- Digital wallets such as Apple Pay or Google Pay are not accepted for the deposit
- The card must be physically present and must have the driver's name printed on it
- The name on the card must match the main driver on the hire agreement
The hold is released after you return the vehicle, but your bank controls when the credit becomes available again, which can take up to 15 business days. Bringing a backup credit card is always a good idea in case your primary card is declined at the Budget Disney Orlando counter.
Can drivers under 25 rent a Budget car at Disney Orlando?
Yes, drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent a Budget car at Disney Orlando, but a young-renter surcharge applies and certain vehicle classes are restricted.
In Florida, the standard minimum age for Budget is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 are permitted but will pay a daily underage fee. Most premium, full-size, SUV, minivan, and luxury categories are restricted to renters aged 25 and older at Disney Orlando.
There is one notable exception for eligible renters: Hola Car Rentals offers certain Budget rates that waive the young-renter surcharge for main drivers aged 21 to 24 who are citizens or residents of Latin America or the Caribbean. To qualify:
- The waiver must be explicitly shown on your Hola Car Rentals confirmation
- You must present a passport or ID proving Latin American or Caribbean nationality or residency at the Budget Disney Orlando counter
- The vehicle must belong to an eligible category such as Economy, Compact, Medium Sedan, Standard Sedan, Compact SUV, or Medium SUV
- The exception applies to the main driver only; additional drivers aged 21 to 24 may still be charged or denied
If you are outside Latin America and the Caribbean, the standard underage fee applies at the Budget Disney Orlando location.
How do I add an additional driver to my Budget hire at Disney Orlando?
Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Budget hire at Disney Orlando, but the additional driver must be physically present at the counter during pickup to sign the hire agreement.
To add an additional driver at the Budget Disney Orlando location:
- The additional driver must appear in person at the DoubleTree by Hilton counter at 2305 Hotel Plaza Blvd during operating hours
- They must present a valid driver's licence and a passport or government-issued photo ID
- If their licence is not in English or uses a non-Latin alphabet, an International Driving Permit is also required
- Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the hire agreement
If your Hola Car Rentals confirmation does not show the additional driver as included at no charge, Budget will charge a daily fee of US$13 per day plus taxes, capped at US$65 plus taxes for the hire period. For Budget Disney Orlando hires, additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old.
Only drivers listed on the hire agreement are covered by protections such as CDW and liability cover. Never allow an unlisted person to drive the vehicle.
What insurance coverage should I consider for a Budget hire at Disney Orlando?
When picking up a Budget hire at Disney Orlando, 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 if the Budget vehicle is damaged or stolen during your hire. A deductible may still apply unless your confirmation explicitly states zero. CDW does not cover damage you cause to other vehicles or people.
Third-Party Liability (LIS or SLI) covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving the Budget vehicle around Disney Orlando. Florida does not universally require hire companies to include state-minimum liability, so confirming this cover is on your agreement is important. Hola Car Rentals strongly recommends adding Liability Insurance Supplementary cover of up to US$300,000.
Common exclusions to be aware of at the Disney Orlando Budget counter:
- Tires, wheels, and undercarriage damage are often excluded from CDW
- Driving in restricted or unauthorised areas voids cover
- Only named drivers on the agreement are covered
- Incidents must be reported immediately to Budget
Review your Hola Car Rentals confirmation before arriving at the Disney Orlando counter to confirm which covers are already included in your rate.
What travel assistance is included with a Budget booking at Disney Orlando?
Most Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Budget hires at Disney Orlando, include travel assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection. This benefit is particularly useful if you experience a medical emergency or other travel disruption while driving around the Disney Orlando area or on Florida highways such as SR-417 or I-4.
Core benefits typically included are:
- Travel insurance with medical cover for up to 5 passengers
- Legal assistance in case 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) or contact WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call.
Important: this travel assistance benefit does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada. It is designed for travellers visiting Disney Orlando from other countries. It also does not cover damage to the Budget hire vehicle itself (that is handled by CDW) or liability to third parties (handled by LIS or SLI). Always check your specific confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your booking.
What is the fuel policy for Budget hires at Disney Orlando?
Budget hires at Disney Orlando follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.
To avoid fuel charges on your Budget Disney Orlando hire:
- Check the fuel gauge with the agent at pickup and confirm the starting level is recorded on the hire agreement
- Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and fuel gauge at the start
- Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the return location at 2305 Hotel Plaza Blvd before dropping off
- Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address
- Show the gauge at Full when returning the vehicle
If you return the Budget 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 retail pump prices, plus a refuelling service fee.
For after-hours returns at the Disney Orlando Budget location, leave the fuel receipt in the key drop envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge on your phone as evidence. Florida fuel prices are generally in line with or slightly below the National average, so refuelling near the Disney Orlando area before return is straightforward.
Are there airport fees or extra charges when renting Budget at Disney Orlando instead of MCO?
Yes, renting a Budget car at the Disney Orlando on-site location rather than at Orlando International Airport (MCO) can affect the fees you pay, and in some cases it works in your favour.
When you rent at MCO, airport-specific surcharges typically apply, including concession recovery fees and customer facility charges, which can add several pounds per day to your total. The Budget Disney Orlando counter at the DoubleTree by Hilton on Hotel Plaza Blvd is an off-airport location, so some of those airport-specific fees may not apply.
However, standard Florida hire taxes and local surcharges still apply at the Disney Orlando Budget location. Always review the breakdown on your Hola Car Rentals confirmation under the sections showing what is included in your prepaid rate and what is due at the counter.
If your confirmation shows taxes and fees as included, you should not be billed again for those items at the Budget Disney Orlando counter. Hola Car Rentals No Extra Charges© Coverage protects you if undisclosed mandatory charges appear at pickup. Keep all paperwork and contact support after the hire if that happens.
What happens if I return my Budget car late at Disney Orlando?
If you return your Budget hire at Disney Orlando later than the agreed drop-off time, additional charges may apply once the grace period has passed.
The standard grace period at most Budget locations is 30 minutes, though this is not guaranteed at every counter. If you exceed that window at the Disney Orlando location, Budget may charge for extra hours or an additional hire day, plus any applicable late fees.
The Budget Disney Orlando counter at the DoubleTree by Hilton has limited operating hours: Monday through Friday until 6:00 PM, Saturday until 4:00 PM, and Sunday until 12:00 PM. If you return the vehicle after the counter closes, a key drop box is available, but you remain financially liable for the vehicle until the next business day when staff can process the return.
To avoid late return issues with your Budget Disney Orlando hire:
- Plan your return well within operating hours, especially on weekends and Sundays
- Account for construction-related delays on roads near Disney Orlando such as Western Way and Buena Vista Drive, which are undergoing active expansion
- Refuel before returning so you are not rushing at the last minute
Can I do a one-way hire with Budget at Disney Orlando and return the car elsewhere?
Yes, one-way hires with Budget at Disney Orlando are possible, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on your return location, and availability varies by route.
When booking a one-way hire from the Budget Disney Orlando counter, the drop-off fee is route-specific and is set by Budget based on the distance, vehicle class, and destination. Common patterns to expect:
- Returning to a nearby location in the same metro area, such as Orlando International Airport (MCO), may carry little or no drop-off fee due to the short distance
- Returning to a different Florida city such as Miami or Tampa will typically incur a one-way fee
- Cross-state or long-distance one-ways usually carry higher fees and may have availability restrictions
During the booking process on the Hola Car Rentals website, any applicable drop-off fee for your Budget Disney Orlando route will be shown on the rate details page under the section labelled as payable at destination. This fee cannot be prepaid and is not covered by No Extra Charges© unless it was not disclosed during booking.
If you need to change your drop-off location after picking up the Budget vehicle at Disney Orlando, contact the counter directly, as mid-rental route changes must be approved and may increase the fee.
