"By far cheaper than all rental car offers."
Sharon Radford
"Quick and easy"
Bill Harshbarger
"I really liked the reservation screen for pickup times...side by side let's you easy match pick-up drop off.
The vehicles were the best price (discounted prices for European travelers in the US at thus writing), otherwise rental car prices are rather high these days.
Insurance is about peace of mind. Hola is over the top covering many of those extras the agent wants you to buy.
And toll coverage up to 5%. Super. Without human attendants anymore, it's complicated in the Bay Area and particularly expensive in Miami (!) Auto companies see it as an opportunity to sell you lots of Toll coverage.
Finally, what I did not notice was, "not knowing what I was renting" which is often noticed just before you press 'book'. The question did not enter my mind, that's a good thing.
Their AI agent, perfectly better. Very good advice.
And I did have the need to cancel and rebook. With the app, effective and bug free. One refund was credited in a hour. Another may take a few days, but will post. Also the app will display prices in the currency you select.
Looking forward to booking with Hola again"

"This is not the first time we’ve rented cars through Hola, and each time we’re absolutely satisfied! Their service is excellent — always available, providing immediate responses, quickly solving any issues with kindness, and handling everything directly with the rental companies when needed.
Even when a refund was required, they took care of it fully without any hassle. The personal, reliable, and professional approach makes all the difference.
A fantastic experience every time, and I’ll definitely keep renting through them and highly recommend them to everyone"

"Searching for two weeks car hire in Florida. Hola were very competitive against the group I wanted to book, the website was easy to use and confirmation received immediately"
Dwight Thompson
"The experience was excellent, fast and easy with the least effort required to chose a car. From past experience the counter experience was favourable at Budget Miami Airport with no issues. This was the first time an agent at a rental desk did not try to sell me additional insurance or toll pass.
My only concerns for this booking was the price gap was too high for standard cars compared to the basic cars."
Steve Hornby
"Very easy to book
Very easy to pay
And the best deal I could find by quite a long way
Added price of mind was the 4.8 stars on trust pilot with 3000+ ratings"
mandy hughes
"Unfortunately I had to cancel my booking with Hola Car Rentals for personal reasons. I was assisted by the Sales Manager Karen to do this. After completing the cancellation efficiently and promptly she went above and beyond to help me with several additional questions I had. Based on my experience I would highly recommend Hola Car Rentals Customer service and would definitely use them again. Their rental prices were very competitive too."
Natalia Vazquez Sotelo
"I highly recommend Hola Car for their excellent service and great price. We arrived many hours late and were worried, but they answered all my questions immediately, even though it was a Sunday. Thank you so much for your help!"
Chris Burnham
"great prices easy to book definitely use again"
constanza cecchi
"The app is great and reliable. Although they try to add extra insurance when you arrive to pick up the car, you just have to insist and say no. Otherwise, everything is fine."

Wheeling and dealing Uk
"Cheap and easy to use covers all insurances etc seems to have been made easy"
차Mihye
"As a Korean, I used the app to rent a car in California. The Dollar Rent-a-Car employee at the San Francisco branch was rude and insisted I purchase additional insurance ($25 per day) because the insurance I purchased through the Hola app was inadequate. However, Hola insisted that the full coverage policy applied and helped me cancel the additional insurance I had purchased at the Dollar Rent-a-Car location. I'm satisfied with Hola's customer service, but I think the Dollar Rent-a-Car employee's practice of selling additional insurance needs to be addressed."

"The WhatsApp service is excellent and personalized. When you arrive at the rental agency, they try to sell you a bunch of extras that are already included, but when you show them you booked through Hola, they don't offer anything else; they just give you the vehicle and you don't pay anything. Renting a car through them is a guarantee."

"It was seamless and I’m yet to see how it goes when I present my hola booking at the airport."
Annanii Garcia
"The rental process was very simple. We got Hertz; the pickup is on Sunday, let's see how it is. It has very good reviews."
Keith Semple
"Wow! My first booking with Hola didn’t just meet expectations — they absolutely exceeded them in every possible way. So much so, that I made another rental booking immediately. I’m not usually someone who takes the time to write reviews, but this experience was so exceptional that I felt compelled to share it.
At first, I thought I had secured a great price — but when I carefully reviewed the list of inclusions, I was genuinely blown away. In fact, it almost seemed too good to be true. I found myself double- and triple-checking my bookings, convinced there must have been some sort of system error. But no — everything was exactly as promised, and more - with NO extra cost.
What truly stood out was the reaction from others. When I shared the pricing and inclusions with the Avis desk at the airport, hotel staff, as well as family and friends, they were equally astonished. Several even asked for your details on the spot — which says everything about the incredible value and service you provide.
One thing worthy of note. Avis offered upgrades which I refused on the grounds that it might change the underlying agreement and result in added costs - be careful of adding extras at the point of collection. Regardless, the vehicles reserved were excellent.
You have now become my absolute first choice — my go-to destination for rentals without hesitation. Experiences like this are rare, and you’ve set a new benchmark for excellence.
Please keep up the outstanding work — you’ve gained a loyal customer for life."

About hiring a car in Doral
Doral sits immediately east of Miami International Airport (MIA), which means most hirers pick up at the MIA Rental Car Centre at 3900 NW 25th Street rather than hunting for a city-side counter. From the terminal, follow signs to the MIA Mover on level three — the free automated train reaches the Rental Car Centre in about four minutes, and the full walk-plus-ride typically takes 15 to 20 minutes. Booking three or more weeks ahead tends to secure better availability, particularly between December and April when demand in the Miami area peaks. Florida's expressway network around Doral is entirely cashless, running on SunPass transponders; without a toll package, the hire company bills each crossing at the pay-by-plate rate and adds a daily admin fee on top — the toll package itself runs roughly US$5–11 per day depending on the brand. Refuel before returning: petrol stations cluster along NW 36th Street near the Rental Car Centre, and the fuel service charge if you return the tank short runs US$7–9 per gallon. Budget for an authorisation hold of US$200–500 on a credit card in the primary driver's name — debit cards are not accepted. Drivers whose licence uses a non-Latin script (Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Korean, Japanese) should carry an International Driving Permit alongside the original licence.
Frequently Asked Questions
If I’m staying at a hotel near Miami International Mall, what’s the easiest way to pick up a hire car in Doral without battling the worst rush‑hour traffic?
To ensure a smooth, low‑stress pickup, plan to collect your hire car outside peak hours. The best windows are typically mid‑morning, between 9:30 and 11:30, or mid‑afternoon, from 14:00 to 16:00. This timing helps you avoid the heavy morning and evening commuter traffic that clogs major roads like the Dolphin Expressway (SR 836) and NW 12th Street. Picking up the vehicle during these quieter periods gives you a more relaxed first drive to get used to the car and local roads.
Which parts of Doral are most confusing for first‑time drivers because of one‑way streets, turn restrictions or complex shopping‑centre entrances?
First‑time visitors often find the areas around CityPlace Doral and Downtown Doral the most challenging to navigate because of their modern mixed‑use layouts with roundabouts and intricate junctions. The huge car parks and internal road networks of Dolphin Mall can also be disorienting when trying to find a particular shop or exit. In these zones it’s sensible to rely on your satnav for turn‑by‑turn directions and to pay close attention to posted signs. Allowing a little extra time reduces stress while you get familiar with the traffic patterns.
How do drivers usually handle the mix of local commuters and delivery trucks around NW 36th Street and NW 58th Street in Doral?
Driving along Doral’s main commercial corridors such as NW 36th and NW 58th Street calls for defensive driving and heightened awareness. Experienced drivers typically keep a generous gap to allow for large trucks making wide turns or sudden stops. It’s also useful to anticipate vehicles frequently entering and exiting business complexes and warehouses. Staying in the centre or left lane can sometimes provide a smoother path, as the right lane often sees more interruptions from turning traffic.
What’s the simplest driving route from Doral to Wynwood if I want to avoid tricky downtown lane changes and last‑second exits?
For a more straightforward drive to Wynwood, take the Dolphin Expressway (SR 836) east but plan to exit before the complex I‑95/I‑395 interchange. A good option is to leave at NW 27th Avenue and head north a short distance. From there turn east onto a main road like NW 20th Street, which leads directly into the heart of the Wynwood arts district. This surface‑street approach lets you bypass the most stressful motorway merges near downtown Miami.
If I’m planning an early tee time, what should I know about driving and parking at Trump National Doral Miami as a visitor with a hire car?
Driving to the resort for an early tee time is generally very smooth, as you’ll be on the road before most traffic builds. The property is well signposted, guiding visitors directly to guest parking on arrival. For convenience you can first pull up to the clubhouse drop‑off area to unload your golf clubs with the valet or staff. Afterwards, finding a parking space in the appropriate lot is typically simple and stress‑free, especially in the morning.
What’s it like driving from Doral to the Everglades (Shark Valley vs the main park entrance), and how do I choose the better route for my day plan?
The route you choose depends entirely on the experience you want. For the Shark Valley entrance it’s a direct, easy drive west on US‑41 (Tamiami Trail), making it the closer, quicker option from Doral. This entrance is ideal if your main aim is the famous tram tour or cycling the 15‑mile loop. To reach the main park entrance near Homestead you’ll take a longer drive south, typically via the Florida Turnpike, which provides access to more varied walking trails like the Anhinga Trail and Gumbo Limbo Trail.
When I’m leaving Doral for Key Largo, which departure time avoids the worst bottlenecks on the way to US‑1?
To best avoid heavy traffic on the way to the Keys, your departure time from Doral is critical. The main bottleneck forms south of Florida City where the roads merge onto the single‑lane US‑1. On a weekday try to be past that point before 15:30. At the weekend, especially on a Friday or Saturday, your best bet is to leave extremely early, aiming to be south of Homestead before 08:00 to get ahead of the main wave of travellers.
If I’m visiting Dolphin Mall for a few hours, what parking areas are easiest for getting back out quickly to the main roads?
For a quick and easy exit from Dolphin Mall, it’s best to park in the lots closest to the main thoroughfares. Consider the parking areas that face the Florida Turnpike on the east side or those adjacent to NW 12th Street on the south side. Parking near one of the major anchor stores, like Bass Pro Shops, often provides a more direct route back to the main exits. This strategy helps you avoid the slow internal circulation roads that can congest at busy times.
How stressful is it to drive from Doral to South Beach at night, and what should I watch for around causeway entrances and sudden lane splits?
Driving to South Beach at night can be moderately intense for those unfamiliar with Miami motorways. The Julia Tuttle Causeway (I‑195) is often considered a slightly less complex option than the MacArthur Causeway. The key is to use your satnav and know which causeway you’re heading for well in advance, as entrances require timely lane changes. Be particularly alert for fast‑moving traffic and be prepared for lanes that split suddenly as you approach Miami Beach.
What are the most common wrong turns drivers make when trying to get from Doral to Miami International Airport, especially near the airport road loops?
The most frequent mistake is ending up in the wrong airport loop for departures, arrivals or hire‑car returns. The signage can be overwhelming, so it’s crucial to follow the specific signs for your airline’s terminal. Another common error is missing the dedicated airport exit from the Dolphin Expressway (SR 836) and accidentally continuing onto Le Jeune Road. Keeping your satnav active and focusing on the overhead signs will help you navigate the complex airport entrance successfully.
If my hotel is near CityPlace Doral, how easy is it to walk to restaurants and leave the hire car parked, and where do visitors usually leave the car?
CityPlace Doral is exceptionally pedestrian‑friendly, making it an ideal place to park your car and explore on foot. If you’re staying at a nearby hotel you can easily walk to a wide variety of restaurants, shops and entertainment venues. Visitors typically leave their hire cars in the hotel’s designated parking area or use one of the large, central multi‑storey car parks within the complex. This convenience allows for a relaxed evening without the need to drive between destinations.
What should I expect when driving in Doral during weekday school drop‑off and pick‑up times, and which areas get unusually backed up?
During weekday school hours, typically from 07:30 to 09:00 and 14:30 to 16:00, expect significant congestion in certain areas. Major roads near schools, such as NW 107th Avenue and parts of Doral Boulevard (NW 41st Street), can become heavily backed up with slow‑moving traffic. It’s wise to check your route on a map app before you leave and, if possible, use alternative streets to bypass these zones or simply allow extra travel time.
How do I plan a quick half‑day trip from Doral to Little Havana without spending most of the time circling for parking?
The key to a stress‑free trip to Little Havana is to avoid hunting for limited on‑street parking. Instead, drive directly to one of the public car parks just off SW 8th Street (Calle Ocho), particularly between SW 12th and 17th Avenues. Once parked, the most famous stretch of Calle Ocho is easily and enjoyably explored on foot. Arriving mid‑morning on a weekday generally makes finding a spot in a car park even easier.
If I’m arriving in Doral after a long flight, where’s a low‑stress place to pull over, set up navigation and organise luggage before driving to my hotel?
After collecting your hire car, a good strategy is to find a large, quiet car park to get situated. The expansive lots of nearby shopping centres like Miami International Mall or even a large supermarket provide the perfect low‑pressure environment. Pull into a spot away from other cars, take a moment to adjust your mirrors, programme your satnav destination and ensure your luggage is secure. This brief stop can make the rest of your drive to the hotel much more comfortable and safe.
What’s the best way to plan a day that starts in Doral, includes Miami Design District, and ends in Brickell without backtracking across traffic hotspots?
To create an efficient route, plan your day with a logical north‑to‑south progression. Start by driving from Doral east to the Design District, which is the northernmost of your destinations. After your visit you can take a major surface road like Biscayne Boulevard directly south to reach the Brickell neighbourhood. This approach avoids unnecessary backtracking and prevents multiple crossings of major arteries such as the Miami River or I‑95.
