"I was a little hesistant before booking as Hola literally quoted me half of what the car rental company was giving me which made me a little suspicious but I went to Avis at LAS airport and the entire process was smooth. I have already booked two more trips through Hola.
Thank you :)"

"Trust these reviews and put your trust in Hola Car Rentals. Not only , in my experience, did they provide very good quotes on my rental car from Chicago O'Hare (AVIS), indeed it was all inclusive with no unexpected surprises when I collected the car. For some reason, I incurred a charge from AVIS (Tank of gas), which was sorted and all, but Hola rental car were quick to support and help arrange my refund. Brilliant company and I would 100% use them again"

"The third party rental car company charged us after returning the car for additional services that we hadn't agreed to. Hola's service team went above and beyond to help us get a refund for these charges.
It’s exemplary for a car rental broker to stand up for its customers like this. We’re grateful and will always book through Hola in the future. Not just because they have very affordable deals and great value for money, but above all because they’re there for their customers! Benchmark!"

Daniel Woods
"Hola Car rentals can’t be faulted. The pricing for an Avis car rental was significantly lower than from the actual Avis rental site. At first I was honestly nervous about booking, but not issue could be found in the entire process.
If booking through Hola, ensure you take the confirmation paperwork with you to provide to the rental car company. Avis’ system didn’t register the additional driver but the confirmation email was used and they added the extra driver saving hundreds.
Toll refunds are swift and instructions can be given using the WhatsApp AI chat bot.
Collection location was Avis LAX
Will be using Hola again"

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."

"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."

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."

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"
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"
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."
Jason Bishop
"Excellent all round . Great price , great service and the insurance cover etc ticks every box . Customer service for a few odd questions were great and very quick response on what’s app . Highly recommended and will definitely use Hola again .. Thankyou.
Ps … Car was great too 👌🏼👌🏼"
תמיר מורוביץ
"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"
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."
carl buckley (BMW R Nine T Scrambler)
"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"
About renting a car at Arizona Airport
Arizona stands out among US states for having no toll roads at all, which means you can drive from Phoenix to Sedona to Tucson without a toll pass or pay-by-plate billing — a genuine cost difference from states like Florida or Texas. At Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), every major rental brand operates from a single off-site Rental Car Center reached via the free PHX Sky Train, which runs 24/7 with trains every 3-5 minutes; the ride from the terminals takes roughly 10-15 minutes, so budget 30-45 minutes between baggage claim and driving away. Tucson International Airport (TUS) places most brands in a Rental Car Center just outside the terminal's east exit, within walking distance of baggage claim. Demand peaks between December and April when winter visitors fill the state, so booking well in advance during those months gives you better vehicle selection and pricing. Fuel averages around US$4.70 per gallon statewide; return the tank full to avoid the rental company's fuel service charge, which typically runs two to three times the pump price. A credit card in the primary driver's name is required at pickup, with a deposit hold of roughly US$200-US$400 depending on vehicle class and brand. If your license uses a non-Latin script — Arabic, Chinese, or Japanese, for example — carry an International Driving Permit alongside it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly do you pick up a rental car at Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX)—is it in the terminal, a garage, or a separate rental center?
At Phoenix Sky Harbor, all major rental car companies operate out of a consolidated Rental Car Center located a short distance from the terminals. This facility is not attached to any of the airport terminals, so you cannot walk there directly after your flight. To reach it, you will need to take the free PHX Sky Train, which is the airport's automated train system. The train provides a quick and convenient connection, running 24 hours a day between the terminals and the Rental Car Center.
What’s the easiest way to get from baggage claim to the PHX rental car center if you’re traveling with multiple suitcases?
The most convenient method is using the PHX Sky Train, which is designed to accommodate travelers with luggage. After collecting your bags, simply follow the overhead signs in the terminal for the Sky Train. The stations have elevators and escalators, making it easy to manage multiple suitcases without hassle. The train provides a smooth, air-conditioned ride directly to the Rental Car Center, eliminating the need to handle bags on a crowded shuttle bus.
If my flight lands at Terminal 3, what steps should I follow to reach the rental car pickup without backtracking?
Upon arriving at Terminal 3, your path to the rental car center is very straightforward. After you deplane and collect any checked luggage from baggage claim, look for the prominent signs directing you to the PHX Sky Train. The station is easily accessible from the main terminal area. Board the train heading toward the Rental Car Center, which is just a few stops away, ensuring a direct and efficient journey.
How different is rental car pickup at PHX when arriving on an international flight with checked bags?
The process for international arrivals is nearly identical to domestic, with one extra step at the beginning. After deplaning at Terminal 4, you will first proceed through customs and immigration to claim your checked bags. Once you have cleared this process and are officially landside, you will follow the same public signage for the PHX Sky Train. The train will then take you directly to the Rental Car Center just as it does for domestic passengers.
What’s the smoothest plan for groups arriving on different flights at PHX who want to pick up one rental car together?
For groups arriving separately, the most efficient strategy is to designate one person as the driver to handle the pickup. The rest of the group can gather with the luggage at a pre-arranged spot, such as a coffee shop or seating area in the arrivals level of one of the terminals. Once the designated driver has completed the rental process and has the car, they can drive from the Rental Car Center back to the terminal's curbside pickup area to collect everyone.
If I land late at night at PHX, what should I expect for rental car shuttle frequency and pickup logistics?
Phoenix Sky Harbor offers excellent late-night accessibility thanks to the PHX Sky Train, which operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This means you will always have reliable transportation from your terminal to the Rental Car Center, regardless of your arrival time. While the train's frequency may be slightly reduced in the very late hours, the wait is typically short. Most major rental agencies at the center are also open 24/7 to accommodate these arrivals.
How much time should I realistically allow between landing at PHX and driving out of the rental facility during spring training season?
During the busy spring training season, it's wise to budget extra time for your car rental pickup. Realistically, you should allow approximately 90 minutes from the time your plane lands to when you drive away. This accounts for deplaning, walking through the terminal, a potentially crowded baggage claim, and the Sky Train ride. Most importantly, it provides a buffer for potentially longer lines at the rental car counters, which are common during this peak travel period.
What’s the most common wrong turn people make when leaving the PHX rental car center for Downtown Phoenix?
A frequent mistake for drivers heading to Downtown Phoenix is accidentally taking the I-10 East ramp instead of the I-10 West. As you exit the Rental Car Center, the signage for the freeways appears quickly. To avoid this, stay alert and carefully follow the overhead signs for I-10 West, which is often indicated with directions toward Los Angeles. Keeping your GPS active from the moment you start the car will also help ensure you make the correct turn.
Which exit routes from PHX are simplest for first-time visitors heading toward Scottsdale without stressful lane changes?
For a low-stress drive to Scottsdale, the best route is to take the Loop 202 Red Mountain Freeway East. After leaving the Rental Car Center, follow the signs for the 202 East. This freeway offers a more direct path to most parts of Scottsdale and generally involves fewer complex interchanges than navigating through the heart of Phoenix. It allows you to get acclimated to the car and the traffic before needing to make multiple lane changes.
If I’m heading to Sedona right after pickup, what’s a low-stress way to start the drive from PHX before the freeway splits?
The most straightforward start for a trip to Sedona is to focus on getting onto Interstate 17 North. From the Rental Car Center, you will briefly take Interstate 10 West. Pay close attention to the signs that appear within the first couple of miles for the I-17 North exit toward Flagstaff. Merging onto I-17 North early is key, as this is the main highway that will take you all the way to the Sedona turnoff.
What should I know about driving from PHX to the Grand Canyon if I’m starting immediately after an afternoon arrival?
Starting the drive to the Grand Canyon in the afternoon means you will likely be completing the final part of the journey in the dark. The drive takes about 3.5 to 4 hours, so be prepared for reduced visibility on unlit highways as you get closer to the park. It's also important to be alert for wildlife, especially deer and elk, which are more active at dusk and after nightfall. Ensure you feel rested after your flight before embarking on this significant drive.
How do I plan a PHX pickup if I want to stop for groceries before checking into a resort in Paradise Valley?
After picking up your car, you can easily find a grocery store by taking one of the main arterial roads near the airport. A simple plan is to head north on 44th Street or take the Loop 202 East toward Scottsdale. Both routes will have numerous large supermarkets, such as Fry's or Safeway, just a few miles from the airport. Using your phone's navigation to find a store along your specific route to Paradise Valley is the most efficient approach.
Where can I pull over near PHX after pickup to organize luggage, set up phone mounts, and get everyone settled before driving?
The most convenient place to get organized is right in your assigned parking spot at the Rental Car Center garage before you exit. This gives you a calm space away from traffic. If you prefer to do this after leaving, the airport's cell phone waiting lots are an excellent option. They are just a minute or two away from the rental center, free to use, and provide a safe area to pull over and prepare for your drive.
What’s the easiest way to add a second driver at the counter without holding up a group that just wants to hit the road?
To add a second driver efficiently, ensure they are present with you at the rental counter during the initial pickup. Both you and the additional driver should have your driver's licenses ready for the agent. Handling this all in one transaction is much faster than having to return to the counter later. This simple preparation allows the agent to process everything at once, getting your group on the road more quickly.
If I’m traveling with a baby, where is the most convenient place to install a car seat—at the rental garage or somewhere calmer nearby?
While you can install a car seat in the rental garage, it can be a busy and distracting environment. For a safer and less rushed installation, consider driving to one of the nearby airport cell phone lots. These lots are just a minute away, offer ample space, and are much quieter. This allows you to take your time to ensure the car seat is installed correctly and securely without the pressure of other vehicles moving around you.
