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

To pick up your Budget hire car in Kansas, 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 card, used 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, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory. For other non-English licences, an IDP is strongly recommended. The IDP is a translation only and must be carried alongside your original licence.

All documents must be physical. Digital copies shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted at any Budget counter in Kansas. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the authorisation hold.

The Budget counter at Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport (ICT), located at 2277 Eisenhower Airport Pkwy, Wichita, KS 67209, is inside the terminal near the baggage claim area. No shuttle is required, making it a straightforward walk from arrivals.

Counter hours at this Kansas Budget location are Sunday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 12:30 AM, and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM. Late-night returns are supported up to those closing times.

If you are hiring at an off-airport Budget location in Kansas, such as East Wichita at 8144E Kellogg Dr or Overland Park at 7540 W 119th St, you will go directly to those addresses. Some off-airport Kansas locations offer after-hours key drop boxes, but you remain responsible for the vehicle until the next business day when staff check it in.

The Kansas Turnpike, also known as the Ike, is the main toll road you may encounter when driving a Budget hire car across Kansas. It runs from the Oklahoma border in the south to the Nebraska border in the north, passing through Wichita, Topeka, and Lawrence.

At most plazas, you receive a ticket on entry and pay on exit using cash, a major credit card, or a K-Tag transponder. E-ZPass is not accepted on the Kansas Turnpike. Exit 53A in Wichita is fully cashless and requires a K-Tag or an online payment by licence plate within 10 days.

Your Budget hire vehicle in Kansas comes equipped with an electronic toll device. At the counter you can choose:

• An unlimited toll package at a fixed daily rate (typically US$11 to US$25 per day depending on location)
• A pay-per-use option, where Budget charges actual tolls plus a daily convenience fee of approximately US$3.95 per day, capped at around US$19.75 per rental month

If you opt out of both programmes and drive a cashless toll lane, a bill will be mailed to the registered address of the vehicle within approximately two weeks, and Budget will pass those charges plus processing fees to your card. Toll charges often appear on your statement weeks after the hire ends.

Yes, you can get cashback on tolls paid while driving a Budget hire car in Kansas, including on the Kansas Turnpike.

All Hola Car Rentals bookings include Tolls Cashback, which reimburses up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your hire period. For example, if your Budget Kansas booking totals US$400, the maximum cashback is US$20. If you paid US$14 in Kansas Turnpike tolls, you receive US$14 back. If you paid US$30, you receive the US$20 cap.

To claim your cashback after returning your Budget hire in Kansas:

• Email [email protected] within 30 days of vehicle return
• 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 receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid

Refunds are issued to the original payment method used for your booking and typically process within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Late submissions received after 30 days are not accepted.

When hiring a Budget in Kansas, several taxes and fees are added on top of the base rate. Understanding these helps you avoid surprises at the counter.

• Kansas Vehicle Hire Excise Tax: 3.5% on hires of 28 days or fewer, applied to all Budget hires in Kansas
• State and local sales tax: varies by city and county within Kansas
• Airport Concession Recovery Fee (ACRF) and Customer Facility Charge (CFC): apply at airport locations such as Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport, making airport Budget hires in Kansas typically more expensive than off-airport locations
• Vehicle Licence Recovery Fee: a standard Budget fee applied across U.S. locations including Kansas
• Energy Recovery Fee (ERF): applied at all Budget locations in Kansas
• Young driver surcharge: applies if the main driver is under 25 at most Kansas Budget locations

Your booking confirmation will show which taxes and fees are included in your prepaid rate and which are due at the Kansas Budget counter. If your confirmation shows Taxes and Fees as Included, you should not be billed again locally for those items. The No Extra Charges© guarantee covers incorrectly billed counter charges that were not disclosed on your confirmation.

Yes, a young driver surcharge applies to drivers under 25 at Budget locations in Kansas.

In the United Kingdom, the standard minimum age to hire without a surcharge is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can hire a Budget in Kansas but will be charged a daily young-renter fee. Budget in Kansas also restricts certain vehicle classes to drivers aged 25 and older, including full-size sedans, SUVs, minivans, vans, convertibles, luxury, and premium categories. Economy, compact, and intermediate vehicles are generally available to under-25 renters.

One important exception: if you are a traveller from Latin America or the Caribbean aged 21 to 24, certain Hola Car Rentals rates fulfilled by Budget may waive the underage fee. This waiver must be explicitly shown on your booking confirmation and applies only to eligible vehicle categories. It does not apply to additional drivers aged 21 to 24.

Regardless of age, all Kansas Budget renters must present a valid driver’s licence and a major credit card in the main driver’s name for the authorisation hold.

Budget hires in Kansas follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.

At pickup, check the fuel gauge with the Budget agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on your hire agreement. Take a photo of the dashboard showing both the odometer and the fuel gauge before leaving the Kansas Budget location.

When returning your Budget hire in Kansas, refuel within approximately 10 miles of the return location so the gauge does not drop below full before you arrive. Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address.

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

• A fuel shortfall at the partner's refuelling rate, which is typically higher than retail pump prices
• A refuelling service fee for the administrative handling

For after-hours returns at Kansas Budget locations that offer key drop boxes, leave your fuel receipt in the drop envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge on your phone as evidence. The security deposit hold is separate from fuel charges and is refundable once the hire concludes.

When picking up a Budget hire car in Kansas, the counter will place a temporary authorisation hold on your credit card. This hold is not a charge but reduces your available credit until your bank releases it after the hire ends.

For Budget hires in Kansas, the typical hold is approximately US$300 to US$400 for standard vehicle classes, though the exact amount varies by location, vehicle category, and season. Budget in Kansas requires a minimum hold of US$300 plus the estimated hire charges. Premium or speciality vehicles may carry higher holds.

Important requirements for the deposit at any Kansas Budget location:

• A physical, major credit card with the driver’s name printed on the card is required
• The card must be in the main driver’s name
• Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted for the deposit hold
• You must have sufficient available credit to cover the hold plus any estimated charges

After you return the Budget vehicle in Kansas, the hold is released. Your bank or card issuer controls when the credit reappears on your account, which can take up to 15 business days. Bring a backup credit card in case your primary card is declined at the Kansas Budget counter.

Yes, most Hola Car Rentals bookings include travel assistance that can help if you experience an emergency while driving your Budget hire on the Kansas Turnpike or elsewhere in Kansas.

Travel assistance is provided by Terrawind Global Protection and covers up to 5 passengers per booking. Core benefits typically include:

• Medical coverage for accidents and non-pre-existing illnesses during your trip
• Legal assistance in the event of a road accident
• Compensation for luggage lost by the airline
• Flight cancellation insurance

If you need assistance while driving your Budget hire in Kansas, contact the Terrawind team 24 hours a day, 7 days a week:

• Phone: +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 on the Kansas road, and a brief description of the situation. Follow the coordinator's instructions and keep all receipts and reports.

Please note: this travel assistance benefit does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada. It also does not cover damage to the Budget hire vehicle itself, which is handled separately by CDW/LDW coverage.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Budget hire in Kansas, either as part of your rate or by paying a fee at the counter.

If your Hola Car Rentals confirmation explicitly states Additional Driver Free of Charge, the first extra driver is included at no cost. If it is not included, Budget in Kansas charges US$13 per hire day plus taxes for an additional driver, with a maximum charge of US$65 plus taxes for the hire period.

Requirements for adding a driver at any Kansas Budget location:

• The additional driver must be present at the counter at pickup
• They must present a valid driver’s licence and sign the hire agreement
• For Budget in Kansas, additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old
• If the additional driver’s licence is not in a Latin alphabet, an IDP is required

Only drivers named on the hire agreement are covered by protections such as CDW/LDW and liability coverage. If someone drives the Budget vehicle in Kansas without being listed on the contract, coverage may be void and additional charges could apply. To add a driver after pickup, you must visit a Budget branch in Kansas to update the agreement.

The insurance and protection options available with your Budget hire in Kansas depend on the rate plan selected at booking. It is important to review your confirmation carefully before arriving at the Kansas Budget counter.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) reduces your financial liability for damage to the Budget hire vehicle caused by a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation shows zero deductible. CDW/LDW does not cover damage to other vehicles or injuries to third parties.

Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI) covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving the Budget hire in Kansas. Some U.S. states require a minimum level of liability coverage, but not all do. Adding supplemental liability coverage up to US$300,000 is strongly recommended for any Kansas Budget hire.

What CDW/LDW does not cover:

• Tires, wheels, undercarriage, and roof damage unless specifically included
• Damage caused by prohibited use such as off-road driving or driving under the influence
• Incidents involving drivers not listed on the Budget hire agreement

Always confirm which coverages appear on your hire agreement at the Kansas Budget counter before driving away.

Yes, one-way hires are possible with Budget in Kansas, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on your route.

If you pick up your Budget hire at one Kansas location, such as Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport, and return it to a different Kansas city or to another state, the system will calculate whether a drop-off fee applies. This fee is route-specific and varies by distance, vehicle class, and season.

Key points about one-way Budget hires in Kansas:

• The drop-off fee, if applicable, will be shown under the To Pay at Destination section during booking and on your confirmation
• Unauthorised one-way returns, meaning returning to a location not approved in your contract, can result in fees of US$0.75 per mile or a minimum of US$500
• Cross-border one-way hires, such as Kansas to Canada, may be restricted or require prior approval from Budget
• Changing your return location after booking may reprice the hire and recalculate the drop-off fee

Always confirm the approved return location on your Budget Kansas hire agreement before driving to a different drop-off point. If the counter charges a drop-off fee that was not disclosed on your confirmation, keep all paperwork and contact support.

If you return your Budget hire in Kansas after the agreed return time, a grace period of approximately 29 minutes applies before late charges are triggered. After that window, Budget may charge for additional hours or a full extra day, plus applicable Kansas taxes.

At Kansas Budget locations with key drop boxes, such as Overland Park, you can return the vehicle after hours. However, you remain responsible for the vehicle, including any damage or theft, until a Budget staff member checks it in on the next business day.

If you know you will be late returning your Budget hire in Kansas, consider these steps:

• Contact the Kansas Budget location directly as early as possible to discuss options
• Request a formal hire extension through your booking to avoid unauthorised late return fees
• Be aware that extending the hire may reprice the rate for the entire period

Flight delays of less than 24 hours from your original pickup time will not cause Budget in Kansas to cancel your reservation. If a delay exceeds 24 hours, contact Hola Car Rentals support via WhatsApp at +1 (786) 999-8312 or email [email protected] as soon as possible to explore options, though changes are not guaranteed.
