No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your booking in Saskatchewan 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 Saskatchewan 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 Saskatoon John G. Diefenbaker International Airport (YXE) in Saskatchewan is located inside the terminal building at 2625 Airport Dr, Unit 7, Saskatoon, SK S7L 7L1. Staff are available to escort you to the vehicle lot, which is a short walk from the counter area.

Counter hours at the Saskatoon YXE Budget location vary by day. Some periods include 24-hour service, while other days have limited windows such as 00:00 to 01:00 and 08:00 to 16:30. Always confirm the hours for your specific travel date on your booking confirmation before arriving.

After-hours returns are supported at this Budget location in Saskatchewan. Simply park and lock the vehicle in the designated area, then place your keys and contract in the Budget Fastbreak drop box. Your hire agreement will be mailed to you within approximately 48 hours. Take all personal belongings before dropping the keys.

The Budget counter at Regina International Airport (YQR) in Saskatchewan is located near baggage claim inside the terminal, at 5201 Regina Ave, Regina, SK S4W 1B3. Vehicles are parked just outside the terminal building.

Budget counter hours at YQR in Saskatchewan are generally Sunday 09:00 to 01:30, and Monday through Saturday 08:00 to 01:30, with limited hours on certain holidays such as New Year's Day. After-hours returns are permitted at this location.

If you arrive outside staffed hours, park the vehicle in the designated Budget return area, lock it, and use the key drop box to return your keys and contract. Always confirm the exact hours for your travel dates on your booking confirmation, as schedules can change seasonally.

Yes, Budget hires in Saskatchewan include unlimited kilometres, meaning you will not be charged extra for the distance you drive during your hire period.

This is a notable advantage of hiring with Budget in Saskatchewan compared to some other markets. In the United States, for example, Budget hires often impose per-mile charges or offer only a limited number of free miles. In Saskatchewan, as in Alberta and British Columbia, the standard Budget rate covers unlimited distance at no additional cost.

This makes Budget a practical choice for exploring Saskatchewan, where distances between cities such as Saskatoon and Regina can be significant. Just confirm that your specific rate includes unlimited kilometres by reviewing your booking confirmation before collection, as special promotional or vehicle-class rates may occasionally differ.

No, there are no toll roads in Saskatchewan. Budget renters driving anywhere in the province, including between Saskatoon and Regina or on rural highways, will not encounter any toll booths, cashless toll systems, or congestion charges.

Unlike provinces such as Ontario (which has the 407 ETR) or destinations in the United States, Saskatchewan has no toll infrastructure of any kind. There are no transponder programmes, no plate-based billing systems, and no city-centre driving fees applicable to Budget hires in Saskatchewan.

However, if your travel plans take you beyond Saskatchewan into other Canadian provinces or U.S. states where tolls do apply, Hola Car Rentals includes Tolls Cashback on all bookings. You can claim up to 5% of your total booking value back for tolls paid during your hire. To claim, email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle, attaching your hire agreement and toll receipts.

To pick up a Budget hire car in Saskatchewan, you must bring the following physical documents:

• A valid, original driver’s licence in the main driver’s name (physical card, not digital)
• 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 travel 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 alongside your original licence. For licences in English or using a Latin alphabet, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required for Budget hires in Saskatchewan.

All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted at the Budget counter in Saskatchewan. Obtain your IDP in your home country before travelling, as it cannot be issued abroad.

You must present a physical, major credit card with the driver’s name printed on the card at the Budget counter in Saskatchewan. The card must be in the main driver’s name and have sufficient available credit to cover the security authorisation hold.

For Budget hires in Canada, including Saskatchewan, the typical security authorisation is approximately CA$ 300 to CA$ 500, though some locations may authorise up to CA$ 750 depending on the vehicle class and hire duration. This is a temporary authorisation, not a charge, and your bank will release it after the hire concludes. Release timing is controlled by your bank and can take up to 15 working days.

• Debit cards are not accepted for the security deposit
• Prepaid or virtual cards are not accepted
• The card must be physically present at the counter, not a digital wallet
• The name on the card must match the main driver on the hire agreement

Even if you prepaid your Budget booking in Saskatchewan online, you must still present a physical credit card at collection for the hold. Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined.

Budget hires collected at airport locations in Saskatchewan, such as Saskatoon YXE or Regina YQR, include additional fees beyond the base hire rate. These are standard charges applied at airport locations across Canada and are not unique to Budget in Saskatchewan.

Typical fees you may see on a Budget hire at a Saskatchewan airport include:

• Concession recovery fee, charged because Budget operates within the airport facility
• Customer facility charge, typically around CA$ 10 per contract at airport locations
• Vehicle licence recovery fee, which can be up to approximately CA$ 1.15 per day
• Energy recovery fee, approximately CA$ 0.98 per day
• Air conditioning tax, approximately CA$ 0.70 per day

Off-airport Budget locations in Saskatchewan, such as the downtown Saskatoon site at 602 1st Ave N or the Regina downtown location at 2401 1st Ave N, generally do not carry the concession recovery or customer facility charges, which can make them a lower-cost option if the location is convenient for your travel plans.

Review your booking confirmation carefully to understand which fees are included in your prepaid rate and which are due at the Budget counter in Saskatchewan.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Budget hire in Saskatchewan, but fees and conditions apply depending on your rate.

For Budget hires in Saskatchewan, the additional driver fee is CA$ 13 per hire day plus applicable taxes, with a maximum charge of CA$ 65 plus taxes for the hire period. This fee is paid directly at the Budget counter in Saskatchewan at collection.

Some Hola Car Rentals rates include one additional driver at no extra cost. Check your booking confirmation for the line that reads additional driver free of charge before arriving at the Budget counter in Saskatchewan.

Requirements for adding a driver at Budget in Saskatchewan:

• The additional driver must be present at collection with a valid physical driver’s licence
• They must meet the minimum age requirements for Saskatchewan
• For Budget, the additional driver should be at least 25 years old at the time of collection
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the hire agreement

Only drivers listed on the hire agreement are covered by protections such as CDW/LDW. Do not allow anyone not named on the contract to drive the vehicle.

Most Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Budget hires in Saskatchewan, include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection at no extra cost.

This benefit is particularly useful if you experience a medical emergency or other travel disruption while driving in Saskatchewan, where distances between cities can be long and some areas are remote. Coverage typically includes:

• Travel insurance with medical coverage for up to 5 passengers
• Legal assistance in the event of a road accident
• Compensation for baggage 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 travel assistance benefit does not apply to Canadian or U.S. residents. It is available only to travellers from outside North America renting a Budget vehicle in Saskatchewan. It also does not cover damage to the hire car itself (that is handled by CDW/LDW) or third-party liability (covered by LIS/ALI/SLI).

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

At collection, check the fuel gauge with the Budget agent in Saskatchewan and confirm the starting level is recorded on your hire agreement. Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and fuel gauge before leaving the lot.

When returning your Budget hire in Saskatchewan, refuel within approximately 15 km 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 you for the fuel shortfall at their refuelling rate, which is typically higher than the pump price, plus a service fee
• For after-hours returns at Saskatchewan locations such as Saskatoon YXE or Regina YQR, leave your fuel receipt in the return envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge on your phone
• Use the correct fuel type as specified in the vehicle documents; wrong-fuel incidents are not covered by the fuel policy

If the vehicle was not full at collection, ask the Budget agent in Saskatchewan to record the exact level on the agreement, and return it at that same level.

Yes, one-way hires are possible with Budget in Saskatchewan, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on the route you choose.

Budget operates locations in both Saskatoon and Regina in Saskatchewan, as well as additional sites including downtown locations in each city. Returning a vehicle between these locations, for example picking up at Saskatoon YXE Airport and dropping off at Regina YQR Airport, may trigger a one-way drop-off fee. This fee is set by Budget and varies by route, season, and vehicle class.

The drop-off fee for your Budget hire in Saskatchewan will be shown during the booking process under the To pay at destination section of the checkout screen. It will also appear on your booking confirmation. This fee cannot be prepaid and is paid directly to Budget at the counter in Saskatchewan.

If you need to change your drop-off location after booking, be aware that this may reprice your hire and recalculate or add a drop-off fee. Contact support before making changes to understand the cost impact for your Saskatchewan hire.

Budget hires in Saskatchewan booked through Hola Car Rentals typically include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW), which reduces your financial liability for damage to the hire vehicle from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation explicitly states zero deductible.

Regarding third-party liability, Canadian provincial law requires every vehicle to carry third-party liability insurance. This statutory liability cover is included by default when you hire a Budget vehicle in Saskatchewan. You can also purchase higher supplementary liability limits if you want additional protection.

What CDW/LDW does not cover in Saskatchewan:

• Damage or injury caused to third parties (covered by the included statutory liability or optional supplementary liability)
• Tires, wheels, undercarriage, or roof damage unless specifically included
• Incidents involving prohibited use such as off-road driving, DUI, or unauthorised drivers
• Personal belongings inside the vehicle

Review your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation carefully to confirm exactly which coverages are included in your Budget rate for Saskatchewan, and check the deductible amount that would apply in the event of a claim.

Yes, after-hours returns are supported at Budget locations in Saskatchewan, including both airport and downtown sites.

At the Saskatoon YXE Airport Budget location in Saskatchewan, park the vehicle in the designated return area, lock it, and drop your keys and hire contract in the Budget Fastbreak drop box. Your final hire agreement will be mailed to you within approximately 48 hours. Remove all personal belongings before dropping the keys.

At the Saskatoon downtown Budget location at 602 1st Ave N in Saskatchewan, the same process applies: park and lock the car in the designated spot, then use the after-hours key drop box for your keys and contract.

At the Regina YQR Airport Budget location in Saskatchewan, after-hours returns are also permitted following the same drop-box procedure.

• Record the mileage and fuel level on your contract before dropping it
• Take photos of the vehicle condition and fuel gauge at the time of return
• Keep your fuel receipt if you refuelled before returning
• Note that liability for the vehicle may remain with you until Budget staff check it in the next business day

Always confirm the specific after-hours instructions for your Budget location in Saskatchewan on your booking confirmation, as procedures can vary slightly by site.
