No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your booking at Savannah Airport 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 at Savannah Airport 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 rental 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)

All rental car counters at Savannah Airport are located directly inside the baggage claim area on the first floor of the terminal. No shuttle, people mover, or additional walkway is required to reach them.

After collecting your luggage, simply look for the rental company signage within the baggage claim hall. The counters for Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, National, and Payless are all in this centralized area at 442 Airways Ave, Savannah, GA 31408.

Once you complete your rental agreement at the counter, your vehicle will be located in the covered parking garage just steps from the terminal building. Follow the signage from the rental counters to reach it.

To collect your rental car at Savannah Airport, you must bring the following physical documents to the counter:

• A valid, original driver's license in the main driver's name
• A major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card, for the security deposit hold
• Your passport or valid government photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets (required for visitors from outside the United States)

If your driver's license uses a non-Latin alphabet such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory. For licenses in other non-English scripts, an IDP is strongly recommended. The IDP is a translation only and must be carried alongside your original license at Savannah Airport.

All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted at the counter.

Counter hours at Savannah Airport vary by rental brand. Based on available information:

• Avis: 7:00 AM to 1:00 AM daily
• Budget: 7:00 AM to 1:00 AM daily
• Enterprise: 8:00 AM to 11:59 PM daily
• General airport rental services: approximately 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily

Hours can change on public holidays, so always confirm with your specific rental brand before arrival. If your flight lands outside counter hours, both Avis and Enterprise offer 24-hour after-hours drop-off at Savannah Airport. You can place your keys and completed rental contract in the drop box located at the rental counter in the baggage claim area.

If you are arriving late due to a flight delay of less than 24 hours from your original pickup time, rental companies will generally hold your reservation. For delays beyond 24 hours, contact your booking provider as soon as possible.

All bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include Tolls Cashback, which reimburses up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your rental. This benefit applies whether you encounter tolls near Savannah Airport or while driving to other regions of Georgia or neighboring states.

Georgia itself has no traditional toll roads, but if you drive toward Atlanta you may use the Georgia Express Lanes, which operate on a cashless, electronic system using Peach Pass transponders. Toll charges from those lanes, or from any other toll road you use during your rental, are eligible for the cashback.

To claim your refund after returning your vehicle at Savannah Airport:

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

Refunds are issued to the original payment method and typically process within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Late submissions beyond 30 days are not accepted.

No, there are no traditional toll roads in the Savannah Airport area or in the Savannah region generally. Georgia does not operate standard toll highways in this part of the state.

However, if you drive toward Atlanta from Savannah Airport, you may encounter the Georgia Express Lanes, which are dynamically priced toll lanes on interstates such as I-85 and I-75. These lanes are entirely cashless and use the Peach Pass transponder system. Compatible alternatives include SunPass and Quick Pass. Typical costs range from US$0.10 to US$0.90 per mile depending on traffic demand.

Your rental vehicle from Savannah Airport will include an electronic toll device. At the counter you can choose between:

• An unlimited toll package, typically costing US$11 to US$25 per day
• A pay-per-use option, where actual toll charges plus administrative processing fees are billed to your card after the rental

If you plan to use your own transponder, inform the counter agent at Savannah Airport and ask them to deactivate the vehicle's default toll device to avoid duplicate charges.

Yes, a major credit card in the main driver's name is required to rent a car at Savannah Airport. The card must have the driver's name physically printed on it and must be presented in person at the counter.

The rental company will place a temporary security hold on your card at pickup. Typical holds at U.S. airport locations range from US$300 to US$400 for standard vehicles, and can be higher for premium or luxury classes. This hold reduces your available credit until it is released after you return the vehicle, which can take up to 15 business days depending on your bank.

Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual or digital-only card numbers are not accepted for the security deposit at Savannah Airport. Even if you prepaid your booking online, you must still present a physical credit card at the counter.

Tips to avoid issues at Savannah Airport:

• Notify your bank of your travel dates to prevent fraud blocks on in-person authorizations
• Bring a backup credit card in your own name in case your primary card is declined
• Confirm the hold amount with the agent before they process the authorization

Yes, after-hours returns are available at Savannah Airport. Both Avis and Enterprise offer 24-hour drop-off capability at their counters in the baggage claim area.

To complete an after-hours return at Savannah Airport:

• Drive to the covered rental car return lot adjacent to the main terminal building and follow all return signage, pulling forward to the left
• Park and lock the vehicle
• Place your keys and completed rental contract in the drop box located at the rental counter in the baggage claim area
• Take all personal belongings with you
• Keep a photo of the vehicle condition and your fuel gauge before leaving

For Budget Fastbreak returns, record your mileage and fuel level on the rental agreement and deposit it in the Budget Fastbreak return box. You do not need to return to the counter to finalize the rental.

Note that the grace period for late returns is typically 29 minutes beyond your scheduled return time. After that, additional charges may apply. Always confirm the exact terms on your rental agreement.

When picking up a rental car at Savannah Airport, two main types of coverage are worth understanding before you arrive at the counter.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) reduces your financial liability for damage to the rental vehicle itself, including theft and vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation explicitly states zero. CDW and LDW do not cover damage you cause to other vehicles or people.

Third-Party Liability (LIS, ALI, or SLI) covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving. In Georgia, not all rental companies are required to include state-minimum liability by default, so it is important to confirm what is included in your rate before signing the agreement at Savannah Airport.

Common mistakes to avoid at the Savannah Airport counter:

• Assuming CDW means full coverage, it only protects the rental vehicle
• Forgetting to add all additional drivers to the agreement, as coverage applies only to named drivers
• Accepting optional add-ons at the counter without checking whether they duplicate coverage already in your booking

Review your booking confirmation carefully before arriving at Savannah Airport to understand exactly what is included in your rate.

Most bookings include Travel Assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection, and this benefit applies to rentals starting at Savannah Airport. It is designed for travelers renting abroad and covers up to 5 passengers per event.

Core benefits typically include:

• Travel insurance with medical coverage for accidents and non-pre-existing illnesses
• Legal assistance in the event of a road accident
• Compensation for luggage lost by the airline
• Flight cancellation insurance

This coverage does not include damage to the rental vehicle (that is CDW or LDW) or third-party liability to others (that is LIS or SLI). Pre-existing medical conditions are also excluded.

If you need assistance during your rental from Savannah Airport, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call. Follow the coordinator's instructions before incurring expenses, as some reimbursements require prior authorization.

Important: this benefit applies only to travelers who are not residents of the United States or Canada. If you are a U.S. or Canadian resident renting at Savannah Airport, this coverage does not apply to your booking.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your rental at Savannah Airport, but the additional driver must be physically present at the counter at the time of pickup with a valid driver's license.

Whether the additional driver is included at no cost or subject to a daily fee depends on your rate. If your booking confirmation states additional driver included, no fee applies for the first extra driver. If it is not included, typical daily fees at Savannah Airport are:

• Avis, Budget, and Payless: US$13 per day, capped at US$65 per rental
• Hertz, Thrifty, and Dollar: US$13.50 per day, capped at US$189 per rental
• Alamo, National, and Enterprise: US$15 per day

For Avis, Budget, and Payless, additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old at the time of pickup at Savannah Airport. Drivers aged 21 to 24 may be subject to a young-driver surcharge of US$25 per day and are limited to certain vehicle classes.

Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement. Anyone who drives the vehicle without being listed on the contract may void your coverage.

Yes, one-way rentals are available at Savannah Airport. Avis, for example, offers one-way rental options from this location. However, a drop-off fee may apply depending on your return destination, the rental brand, vehicle class, and travel dates.

The drop-off fee is route-specific and is not included in your prepaid rate. It will appear under the section labeled to pay at destination in your booking confirmation. Common patterns to expect:

• Returning to another city in Georgia or a nearby state: a drop-off fee typically applies
• Cross-country or remote returns: fees are usually higher and some routes may not be permitted
• Cross-border returns to another country: generally restricted or subject to special authorization

To book a one-way rental from Savannah Airport, select your different return location during the search process. The system will calculate whether a drop-off fee applies and display it before checkout. Review your confirmation carefully to confirm the fee shown matches what you agreed to.

If you need to change your return location after booking, be aware that this may reprice the entire rental and recalculate any applicable drop-off fee.

The standard fuel policy for rentals at Savannah Airport is Full to Full. 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 Savannah Airport:

• At pickup, check the fuel gauge with the agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on the rental agreement
• Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and fuel gauge
• Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the Savannah Airport return area so the gauge does not drop before you arrive
• Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address
• For after-hours returns, leave the receipt in the return envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge

If you return the vehicle below the recorded starting level, the rental company may charge you for the fuel shortfall at their own refueling rate, which is typically higher than retail pump prices, plus an administrative service fee.

If the vehicle was not full at pickup, ask the agent to record the exact level on the agreement. You are only required to return it at that same recorded level, not necessarily full.

Yes, age restrictions apply to rentals at Savannah Airport. The standard minimum age to rent without a surcharge is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent but will be charged a young-driver surcharge of US$25 per day and are limited to specific vehicle classes.

Vehicle classes typically available to drivers under 25 at Savannah Airport include economy, compact, and intermediate sedans and SUVs. Classes such as full-size, premium, luxury, minivans, and convertibles are generally restricted to drivers aged 25 and older.

Georgia is not one of the states (such as New York or Michigan) that legally requires rental companies to serve drivers aged 18 and older, so the standard 21-minimum policy applies at Savannah Airport for most brands.

If you are aged 21 to 24 and are a citizen or resident of Latin America or the Caribbean, certain Avis and Budget rates booked through Hola Car Rentals may waive the young-driver surcharge for the main driver. This exception must be explicitly shown on your booking confirmation and applies only to eligible vehicle categories. It does not apply to additional drivers under 25.

All drivers, regardless of age, must present a valid driver's license and a major credit card in their own name at the Savannah Airport counter.
