No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your booking in Regina 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 Regina 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 Budget counter at Regina International Airport (YQR) is located inside the terminal building, in the baggage claim area. After collecting your luggage, follow the car hire signs to the counter. Once you complete the paperwork, your vehicle is parked just outside the terminal in the outdoor car park, so no shuttle or tram is needed.

The Budget desk at Regina Airport is open on the following schedule:

• Monday to Friday: 8:00 AM to 1:30 AM
• Saturday: 9:00 AM to 1:30 AM
• Sunday: 9:00 AM to 1:30 AM

Budget at Regina Airport is located at 5201 Regina Ave, Regina, SK. From the time you clear baggage claim, allow approximately 15 to 30 minutes to complete the counter process and reach your vehicle, assuming no queues.

Yes, Budget at Regina Airport (YQR) allows after-hours vehicle returns. If you need to drop off your car outside the regular counter hours, you can still return it without waiting for staff.

Follow these steps for an after-hours Budget return in Regina:

• Drive to the car hire return area at 5201 Regina Ave, following the car hire signs northwest of the long-term parking area.
• Park and lock the vehicle in the designated Budget return bay.
• Record the mileage and fuel level on your hire agreement as instructed.
• Drop the keys in the Fastbreak key drop box at the location.
• Keep a copy of your hire agreement. Budget will mail the final agreement to you within approximately 48 hours.

Before an after-hours return in Regina, take a photo of the fuel gauge and odometer as evidence of the vehicle condition. This protects you in case any post-hire charges are disputed. The Budget counter at Regina Airport reopens the following morning, so any questions can be addressed then.

No, there are no toll roads anywhere in Saskatchewan, including in and around Regina. Budget renters driving in Regina or anywhere else in the province will not encounter any toll booths, cashless toll lanes, congestion charges, or emissions zone fees.

This means:

• No toll transponder or toll pass programme is needed for your Budget hire in Regina.
• No PlatePass, TollPass, or similar service applies to Saskatchewan routes.
• There are no consequences for driving without enrolling in any toll programme, because no tolled roads exist in the province.

Saskatchewan has a modern highway network, including the Regina Bypass, a 44.3-kilometre four-lane controlled-access highway connecting Highway 1 and Highway 11 around the city, and it is completely toll-free.

If your travel plans take you beyond Saskatchewan into provinces or regions where tolls do apply, the Tolls Cashback benefit included with your booking allows you to claim back up to 5% of your total Budget booking value for any tolls paid during the hire period.

Yes, all Budget bookings made through Hola Car Rentals, including hires in Regina, include the Tolls Cashback benefit. Since Saskatchewan has no toll roads, this benefit is most relevant if your trip takes you into other provinces or regions where tolls apply.

Here is how the Tolls Cashback works for your Regina Budget hire:

• You pay any tolls normally during the hire period.
• After returning the vehicle, email [email protected] within 30 days of the return date.
• Include your Hola Car Rentals reservation confirmation, the signed hire agreement from Budget, and a receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid.
• The refund is capped at 5% of your total booking value and is issued to the original payment method within 7 to 10 business days after approval.

For example, if your Budget hire total is US$400, the maximum cashback is US$20. If you paid US$15 in tolls, you receive US$15 back. If you paid US$30, you receive the US$20 cap.

Late submissions received after 30 days from the return date are not accepted, so submit your claim promptly after completing your Regina trip.

To pick up your Budget hire car in Regina, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:

• A valid driver’s licence in the main driver’s name (original, unexpired, physical card).
• 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 (required for visitors to Canada).
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher.
• Round-trip flight or travel tickets if you are visiting from outside Canada.

If your driver’s licence is not in English and does not use a Latin alphabet (for example, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script), an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory alongside your original licence. If your licence is in a non-English language but uses a Latin alphabet, an IDP is strongly recommended. The IDP is a translation only and is not valid without your original licence.

All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies or photos on a phone are not accepted at the Budget counter in Regina. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit hold.

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 in Regina. The card is used to place a temporary authorisation hold at the counter.

Key points about the credit card requirement for Budget in Regina:

• The card must be a major credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, or similar) with a line of credit, not a debit or prepaid card.
• The card must be physically present at the Budget counter in Regina. Digital wallets, virtual cards, and single-use card numbers are not accepted for the deposit.
• The name on the card must match the main driver’s name on the hire agreement.
• In Canada, the typical authorisation hold is approximately GBP 300 to GBP 500, though some Budget locations may hold up to GBP 750. This is a temporary authorisation, not a charge, and is released after you return the vehicle.

Even if you prepaid your Budget booking online, you must still present a physical credit card at the Regina counter for the hold. Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined, and notify your bank of your travel plans to avoid fraud blocks on the authorisation.

The security deposit for a Budget hire in Regina is a temporary hold placed on your credit card at pickup, not an actual charge. For standard vehicles rented in Canada, the typical hold ranges from approximately GBP 200 to GBP 350, though some Budget locations may authorise up to GBP 500.

Important things to know about the deposit hold for your Regina Budget hire:

• The hold reduces your available credit until it is released after you return the vehicle.
• Your bank or card issuer controls when the hold disappears from your account, which can take up to 15 business days after the hire ends.
• Premium or speciality vehicle classes may carry a higher hold amount.
• Only a physical major credit card in the main driver’s name is accepted. Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted for the deposit at Budget in Regina.

Hola Car Rentals cannot confirm the exact hold amount in advance, as the final figure is set by the Budget desk and may vary by vehicle class, hire duration, and season. Ask the Budget agent in Regina to confirm the authorisation amount before they process your card.

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

Follow these steps to avoid fuel charges on your Budget hire in Regina:

• At pickup, check the fuel gauge with the Budget agent and confirm the starting level is recorded as full on the hire agreement.
• Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and fuel gauge before leaving the Regina Airport lot.
• Refuel within approximately 15 km of the return location at Regina Airport (5201 Regina Ave) so the gauge does not drop before you arrive.
• Keep your final fuel receipt showing the station address, date, and time.
• For after-hours returns, leave the receipt in the key drop envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge on your phone.

If you return the Budget vehicle in Regina 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 the pump price, plus a refuelling service fee. Using the correct fuel type is also important, as wrong-fuel incidents are not covered by the fuel policy.

Yes, Budget in Regina may apply a young driver surcharge for renters under 25 years of age. Budget, along with Avis and Payless, has specific underage fee conditions that differ from other hire brands.

Key points about the young driver policy for Budget in Regina:

• Additional drivers added to a Budget hire in Regina should be at least 25 years old at the time of pickup to avoid a young driver surcharge.
• If an additional driver is under 25, Budget may deny adding them or apply a daily surcharge at the counter.
• The exact surcharge amount is set by Budget at the Regina location and confirmed at the counter.

If you are the main driver and are under 25, or if you plan to add a young driver to your Budget booking in Regina, check your booking confirmation for any disclosed underage fees. The surcharge is paid at the Budget counter in Regina and is not included in your prepaid rate. Contact the Budget desk directly or review your confirmation details for the applicable rate before your pickup date.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Budget hire in Regina, either as an included benefit or for a fee, depending on your rate.

Here is what to know about adding a driver to a Budget hire in Regina:

• Check your booking confirmation first. If it states "Additional driver free of charge" or "Additional driver included," the first extra driver is covered at no cost.
• If not included, Budget charges US$13 per hire day plus taxes, with a maximum cap of US$65 plus taxes for the additional driver.
• The additional driver must be physically present at the Budget counter in Regina at pickup with a valid driver’s licence and photo ID.
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the hire agreement.
• For Budget in Regina, additional drivers should be at least 25 years old. Drivers under 25 may be subject to a young driver surcharge or may be declined.

Only drivers listed on the Budget hire agreement in Regina are covered by the vehicle’s protections, including CDW and liability coverage. Never allow an unlisted person to drive the vehicle, as this can void your coverage and result in additional charges.

Yes, provincial law in Saskatchewan requires every hire vehicle to carry third-party liability coverage, so a statutory minimum level of liability insurance is included by default when you hire a Budget car in Regina through Hola Car Rentals.

Here is what this means for your Budget hire in Regina:

• Basic third-party liability follows the vehicle and is included in the hire price as required by Saskatchewan provincial law.
• This covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving the Budget vehicle in Regina.
• It does not cover damage to the Budget hire car itself. For that, you need CDW or LDW coverage.
• You can purchase additional liability insurance (LIS or SLI) at the Budget counter in Regina to increase your coverage limits beyond the provincial minimum.

If you are driving beyond Saskatchewan into other provinces or regions, confirm that your liability coverage extends to those areas. Review your booking confirmation and the hire agreement at the Budget counter in Regina to verify the exact limits and any territorial restrictions that apply to your hire.

Yes, one-way hires with Budget are possible from Regina, allowing you to pick up in Regina and return the vehicle in a different city. However, a drop-off fee may apply depending on the route, vehicle class, and season.

Key things to know about one-way Budget hires from Regina:

• The drop-off fee is route-specific and varies by destination, vehicle class, and time of year.
• During the booking process on the Hola Car Rentals website, any applicable drop-off fee will be shown on the rate details page under the "To pay at destination" section before you confirm.
• This fee is paid at the Budget counter at pickup in Regina and cannot be prepaid online.
• Cross-border one-way hires (for example, from Regina into the United States) may be restricted or carry higher fees. Confirm with Budget whether cross-border travel is permitted for your specific vehicle class.

If the drop-off fee shown at the Budget counter in Regina differs from what appeared on your booking confirmation, keep all paperwork and contact Hola Car Rentals support. The No Extra Charges© guarantee can help resolve undisclosed fees after verification.

Most Budget bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection. However, this benefit does not apply to Canadian or US residents. It is designed for travellers visiting Regina from outside North America.

If you qualify, the travel assistance included with your Budget hire in Regina typically covers:

• 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.

This coverage is particularly useful if you experience a medical emergency or an accident while driving in Regina or on Saskatchewan highways such as the Regina Bypass. It does not cover damage to the Budget hire vehicle itself (that is CDW or LDW) or liability to third parties (that is LIS or SLI).

To use the assistance, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Check your booking confirmation for your specific coverage details, limits, and the contact information provided. Always call to open a case before incurring expenses that require prior authorisation.
