No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Budget booking in Greer 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 Budget 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 Budget counter in Greer 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 Budget 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 Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP) in Greer is located inside the terminal at 1960 GSP Drive, Greer, SC 29651. No shuttle or consolidated rental car center is required.

After your flight lands, the process is straightforward:

• Deplane and make your way to baggage claim on the lower level of the terminal
• The Budget counter is located near baggage claim on that same lower level
• After completing paperwork at the counter, walk a short distance to the vehicle lot

From wheels-down to driving away, plan for roughly 30 to 60 minutes total, accounting for deplaning (10 to 15 minutes), baggage claim (10 to 20 minutes), counter processing (10 to 15 minutes), and the short walk to your vehicle. Actual times vary depending on flight delays and queue length at the Budget desk.

The Budget counter at Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP) in Greer is open daily from 7:00 AM to 12:00 AM (midnight), seven days a week.

A 24-hour key drop is available for after-hours vehicle returns, so you can return your Budget rental outside of staffed hours without issue. However, unstaffed after-hours pickup is not available, so if your flight arrives after midnight, plan accordingly.

If your flight is delayed by less than 24 hours from your original pickup time, Budget will hold your reservation. For delays exceeding 24 hours, contact support as soon as possible, since bookings held beyond that window may be forfeited without a refund.

Yes, there is one toll road relevant to drivers renting a Budget car in Greer: the Southern Connector, a 16-mile stretch connecting I-185 to I-385 near Greenville.

Key details about tolls on this route:

• The electronic toll system used is PalPass (also called Palmetto Pass)
• Cash is accepted at some ramps (exact change required at Highway 20 and Fork Shoals Road ramps)
• Credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, AMEX) are accepted at mainline plazas only; PIN debit cards are not accepted
• Toll costs for a standard car range from a minimum of US$0.075 up to US$3.00 for the full 16-mile route (two toll points)

At the Budget counter in Greer, you can enroll in an optional electronic toll program (typically US$3.95 to US$4.95 per day, capped per rental period) that lets you use electronic lanes without a personal transponder. If you skip enrollment and drive through a cashless lane, Budget will bill the toll at the highest undiscounted rate plus an administrative fee, which can be significantly higher than paying directly.

All Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Budget rentals picked up in Greer, include Tolls Cashback: you can get up to 5% of your total booking value back for tolls paid during your rental.

This is especially useful if you drive the Southern Connector near Greer, where tolls can add up over a multi-day rental.

To claim your cashback:

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

The refund is calculated as the lesser of the actual tolls paid or 5% of your booking total. For example, if your booking total is US$400, the cap is US$20. If you paid US$12 in tolls on the Southern Connector, you receive US$12 back. Refunds are issued to your original payment method within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Late submissions (after 30 days) are not accepted.

To collect your Budget rental in Greer, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:

• A valid, original driver's license (not a digital copy)
• A major credit card in the main driver's name, with the driver's name printed on the physical card, for the security deposit hold
• A passport or valid government-issued photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
• Round-trip flight tickets (required for visitors arriving from abroad)

If your driver's license 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 license. For licenses in English or a Latin alphabet, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required.

All documents must be physical originals. Digital versions shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted at the Budget counter in Greer. Bring a backup credit card in your name as well, in case your primary card is declined for the deposit hold.

Yes, a physical major credit card in the main driver's name is required to pick up your Budget rental in Greer. The card must have the driver's name printed on it and carry sufficient available credit to cover the security deposit hold.

Important points to keep in mind:

• Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit, even if you prepaid your booking online
• Virtual or single-use card numbers are not accepted; you must present the physical card
• The hold placed on your card at the Budget counter in Greer is typically around US$300 to US$400 for a standard vehicle, though the exact amount is set by Budget and may vary by vehicle class
• The hold reduces your available credit until Budget releases it after return; your bank may take up to 15 business days to reflect the release

If your primary card is declined, you may use a second credit card in your own name. A third party's card is never accepted. Notify your bank of your travel plans before arriving in Greer to avoid fraud blocks on the authorization.

Yes, Budget charges a young driver surcharge for renters under 25 years old at the Greer location. In the United States, the standard Budget fee is US$13 per rental day plus applicable taxes, capped at US$65 plus taxes for the rental period.

Additional rules that apply to under-25 drivers renting a Budget car in Greer:

• The minimum age to rent is 21 (drivers under 21 cannot rent)
• Certain vehicle classes are restricted to drivers 25 and older, including full-size, SUV, minivan, luxury, premium, and convertible categories
• Economy, compact, and intermediate vehicles are generally available to drivers aged 21 to 24

One exception: if you are a resident or citizen of Latin America or the Caribbean, aged 21 to 24, and your Hola Car Rentals confirmation explicitly states the underage fee is waived, Budget in Greer may waive this surcharge for the main driver on eligible vehicle categories. This exception does not apply to additional drivers aged 21 to 24, and it does not apply to travelers from Europe, Asia, or other regions.

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

Check your booking confirmation first. If it states "Additional driver free of charge," the first extra driver is included at no cost. If it is not included, Budget charges US$13 per rental day plus taxes, capped at US$65 plus taxes.

To add a driver at the Budget counter in Greer:

• The additional driver must be present at pickup with their valid driver's license
• If their license uses a non-Latin alphabet (Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, etc.), they must also bring an International Driving Permit
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement
• For Budget in Greer, 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

Only drivers listed on the rental agreement are covered by the vehicle's protections. If someone not named on the contract drives the Budget car in Greer, coverage may be void and additional charges could apply.

Yes, most Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Budget rentals in Greer, include Travel Assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection at no extra cost. This benefit is particularly relevant if you experience a medical emergency or accident while driving in the Greer area or on nearby highways such as I-85.

Coverage typically includes:

• Travel insurance with medical coverage for up to 5 passengers
• Legal assistance in the event of an accident
• Compensation for luggage lost by the airline
• Flight cancellation insurance

To use the assistance, call +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free, available 24/7) or contact via WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your full name, Hola Car Rentals confirmation number, current location, and a brief description of the situation ready.

Important: this benefit does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada. It also does not cover damage to the Budget rental vehicle itself (that is handled by CDW/LDW) or third-party liability (covered by LIS/SLI). Always review your booking confirmation for the exact terms applicable to your Greer rental.

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

Steps to follow for a smooth fuel return:

• At pickup, confirm the fuel gauge reads full and ensure the starting level is recorded on your Budget rental agreement
• Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and fuel gauge
• Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the Budget return lot at 1960 GSP Drive, Greer, before returning the vehicle
• Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address
• For after-hours returns, leave the receipt in the key drop envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge

If you return the Budget car in Greer with less than a full tank, you may be charged for the fuel shortfall at the partner's refueling rate (typically higher than retail pump prices) plus a refueling service fee. Using the correct fuel type is also important, as wrong-fuel incidents are not covered by the fuel policy and may generate separate charges.

The insurance included with your Budget rental in Greer depends on the rate plan you selected. It is important to review your booking confirmation carefully before arriving at the Greer counter.

Common coverage types and what they mean:

• Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): reduces your financial liability for damage to the Budget vehicle from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation states zero deductible. This does not cover damage to other vehicles or third parties.
• Third-Party Liability (LIS/SLI/ALI): covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving. Some U.S. states require a minimum level of liability, but not all do. Adding supplemental liability coverage is strongly recommended.
• CDW and LIS/SLI are separate protections; you may need both for comprehensive coverage on your Greer rental.

Coverage applies only to drivers named on the Budget rental agreement. If someone not listed drives the car in Greer, coverage may be void. Always verify the exact terms on the rental agreement at the counter and report any incident immediately to Budget using the number on your confirmation.

Yes, one-way rentals are possible with Budget, allowing you to pick up in Greer and return the vehicle at a different location, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on the route.

Key things to know about one-way Budget rentals from Greer:

• The drop-off fee is route-specific and varies by destination, vehicle class, and season
• Same-city returns (for example, airport to downtown within the same metro area) often carry no drop-off fee
• Returns to a different city or state typically incur a drop-off fee
• Cross-border one-ways (for example, from Greer to Canada) may be restricted or carry significantly higher fees

During the booking process on the Hola Car Rentals website, any applicable drop-off fee for your Budget rental from Greer will be shown on the rate details page under the "To pay at destination" section. This fee cannot be prepaid and is paid directly to Budget at the counter. If the counter charges a different amount than what appeared on your confirmation, keep all paperwork and contact support, as the No Extra Charges© guarantee may apply.

If you arrive later than your scheduled pickup time at the Budget counter in Greer, your reservation will generally be held for up to 24 hours from the original pickup time.

Practical guidance for late arrivals in Greer:

• The Budget counter at GSP Airport in Greer is open daily from 7:00 AM to 12:00 AM (midnight), so late-night arrivals within those hours can proceed directly to the lower-level counter near baggage claim
• If your flight is delayed by less than 24 hours, Budget will hold your booking; arrive during staffed hours to complete pickup
• If your delay exceeds 24 hours, contact Hola Car Rentals support via WhatsApp at +1 (786) 999-8312 or email [email protected] as soon as possible, since bookings held beyond 24 hours may be forfeited without a refund
• Arrivals after midnight (when the Budget counter in Greer closes) cannot be processed until the counter reopens at 7:00 AM

Planning your arrival time carefully and monitoring your flight status before landing in Greer will help you avoid losing your Budget reservation.
