No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your booking in Missouri 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 Missouri 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)

Yes, you will need several physical documents to pick up your Dollar hire car in Missouri. Digital copies are not accepted at the counter.

• A valid, original driver’s licence in the main driver’s name
• A major credit card with the driver’s name printed on the card (not a debit or prepaid card)
• A valid passport or government-issued photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets if you are visiting from abroad

If your driver’s licence uses a non-Latin alphabet (for example, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic), you must also carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your original licence. The IDP is a translation only and is not valid on its own. Obtain it in your home country before travelling, as it cannot be issued to foreign licence holders once you are in Missouri.

At the Dollar counter in Missouri, a temporary authorisation hold will be placed on your credit card to cover the security deposit. Make sure your card has sufficient available credit before arriving.

The minimum age to hire a car from Dollar in Missouri is 20 years old. Missouri does not have the same state-law exception as New York or Michigan, where hire companies must accept drivers aged 18 and older.

Drivers aged 20 to 24 can hire from Dollar in Missouri but will be charged a daily young-hirer surcharge (also called an underage fee) in addition to the base hire rate. The specific Dollar amount of this surcharge varies by location and vehicle class.

Drivers under 25 are also restricted from hiring certain vehicle categories in Missouri. Classes such as full-size SUVs, premium, luxury, convertibles, minivans, and vans are typically reserved for hirers aged 25 and older. Economy, compact, and intermediate vehicles are generally the available options for younger drivers.

All standard requirements still apply regardless of age: a valid driver’s licence, a major credit card in the main driver’s name for the security deposit, and all required documents at the Dollar counter in Missouri.

When you pick up your Dollar hire car in Missouri, the counter agent will place a temporary authorisation hold on your credit card. This is not a charge; it reduces your available credit until the hold is released after you return the vehicle.

Typical holds for standard vehicles at Dollar locations in the United States range from US$300 to US$400 on credit cards, though the exact amount can vary by location, vehicle class, and season. Dollar in Missouri may apply a higher hold for premium or speciality vehicles.

• You must present a physical, major credit card with the driver’s name printed on the card
• Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual or digital wallet cards are not accepted for the deposit
• The card must be in the main driver’s name
• Ensure your card has enough available credit to cover the hold plus any estimated charges

After you return the vehicle, the Dollar counter releases the hold. Your bank or card issuer controls how quickly it reappears in your available balance, which can take up to 15 business days. Bringing a backup credit card to your Missouri pickup is always a good precaution in case your primary card is declined.

Missouri itself has very few toll roads, but if you drive your Dollar hire car to neighbouring states such as Illinois or Kansas, you may encounter cashless toll roads where no cash payment is accepted at the booth.

Dollar vehicles in Missouri come equipped with an electronic toll device. At the counter you have two options:

• Purchase an unlimited toll package, which typically costs between US$11 and US$25 per hire day depending on the location and vehicle class
• Decline the package and pay per use, in which case Dollar will charge the actual toll amount plus an administrative processing fee to your credit card after the hire ends

Toll charges can appear on your card days or even weeks after you return the vehicle, since toll agencies process invoices in batches.

All Hola Car Rentals bookings include Tolls Cashback, which lets you recover up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your Missouri Dollar hire. To claim, email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle and include your reservation confirmation, the signed hire agreement, and a receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid.

Dollar hires in Missouri follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy by default. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.

• At pickup, check the fuel gauge with the Dollar agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on the hire agreement
• Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and fuel gauge before leaving the Missouri lot
• Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the Dollar return location so the gauge does not drop below full before you arrive
• Keep your final fuel receipt showing the station address, date, and time

If you return the vehicle below the recorded starting level, Dollar may charge you for the fuel shortfall at the partner’s refuelling rate, which is typically higher than the retail pump price, plus a refuelling service fee.

Some Dollar counter locations in Missouri may offer an optional prepaid fuel plan. If you accept it, you pay for a full tank upfront and any unused fuel is generally non-refundable, so the Full-to-Full approach is usually the better value for most hirers.

For after-hours returns at Missouri locations, leave your fuel receipt in the key envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge on your phone as evidence.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Dollar hire in Missouri, but the additional driver must be present at the counter during pickup and must bring a valid driver’s licence to sign the hire agreement.

Whether the additional driver fee is included or charged at the counter depends on the rate you booked. Check your booking confirmation for the line that reads "Additional driver free of charge" to confirm whether it is covered. If it is not included, Dollar in Missouri charges approximately US$13.50 per hire day plus taxes for each additional driver, with a maximum cap of US$189 plus taxes.

• The additional driver must meet the same minimum age requirements as the main driver
• Drivers aged 20 to 24 may be subject to a young-hirer surcharge in addition to the additional driver fee
• If your licence uses a non-Latin alphabet, an IDP is also required for the additional driver
• Only drivers listed on the Dollar hire agreement in Missouri are covered by the vehicle’s protections

If you need to add a driver after leaving the Missouri pickup location, you must visit a Dollar branch in person to update the agreement. Phone or chat requests alone are typically not sufficient.

The insurance and protection options available with your Dollar hire in Missouri depend on the rate plan you selected when booking. It is important to review your booking confirmation carefully before arriving at the Missouri counter.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) reduces your financial liability for damage to the Dollar hire vehicle itself, including collision, theft, and vandalism. A deductible may still apply unless your confirmation explicitly states zero deductible.

CDW and LDW do not cover third-party liability, meaning injuries or property damage you cause to other people or vehicles. For that protection, you would need Liability Insurance Supplementary (LIS or SLI). Some U.S. states require hire companies to include state-minimum third-party liability, but not all states do. Missouri hirers are strongly encouraged to add supplementary liability cover.

• CDW or LDW covers the Dollar vehicle you are driving
• LIS or SLI covers third parties you may injure or whose property you may damage
• Neither covers your personal belongings or your own injuries
• Coverage applies only to drivers named on the Dollar hire agreement in Missouri

Always confirm which protections appear on your hire agreement at the Dollar counter in Missouri before signing.

Yes, most Hola Car Rentals bookings include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection, and this applies to your Dollar hire in Missouri as well. However, this benefit is available only to travellers who are not residents of the United States or Canada.

If you experience an emergency during your Missouri Dollar hire, such as a medical situation on a highway or a serious accident in a remote area of the state, the travel assistance coverage typically includes:

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

To reach the assistance team 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, call +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free) or contact them via WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call.

This cover does not replace CDW or LDW for damage to the Dollar vehicle itself, nor does it cover third-party liability. Always check your specific booking confirmation for the exact terms and limits that apply to your Missouri hire.

If you return your Dollar hire car in Missouri after the agreed drop-off time, a grace period of up to 30 minutes typically applies before extra charges are triggered. Returns beyond that window may result in additional hourly or daily charges plus a potential late fee.

It is important to plan your return time carefully, especially if you are driving back to the St. Louis or Springfield airport location in Missouri, where traffic or flight schedules could affect your timing.

• Returns within 30 minutes of the agreed time are generally not charged extra
• Returns 30 minutes or more late may be billed for additional hours or a full extra day
• Grace period policies can vary by Dollar location in Missouri, so confirm the exact terms on your hire agreement at pickup

If you know in advance that you need more time, contact the Dollar location in Missouri or request an extension before the original return time. Extending mid-hire is subject to vehicle availability and may reprice your booking.

For after-hours returns at Missouri Dollar locations, follow the key-drop instructions provided at pickup and keep a timestamped photo of the vehicle condition and fuel gauge as documentation.

Yes, one-way hires are possible with Dollar in Missouri, but a drop-off fee may apply when you return the vehicle to a different location than where you picked it up.

The drop-off fee is route-specific and varies based on the cities involved, the distance between them, the vehicle class, and the season. For example, picking up at the Dollar location at St. Louis Lambert International Airport and returning to a Dollar location in another Missouri city or in a different state would typically trigger a one-way fee.

• The drop-off fee is listed under the "To pay at destination" section during the booking process and on your confirmation
• This fee cannot be prepaid and is paid directly at the Dollar counter in Missouri
• Cross-state one-way hires are often permitted but may carry higher fees or restrictions depending on the destination
• Changing your return location after booking may reprice the entire hire and recalculate the drop-off fee

If no drop-off fee appears during checkout for your Missouri Dollar booking, it means the specific route you selected does not incur one. Always review the "To pay at destination" section carefully before confirming your reservation.

An International Driving Permit (IDP) is not always mandatory for hiring from Dollar in Missouri, but it is strongly recommended in certain situations and required in others.

If your driver’s licence uses a non-Latin alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic (Russian), you must carry an IDP alongside your original licence when picking up your Dollar hire in Missouri. The IDP serves as a translation and is not a standalone document; it is invalid without the original licence.

If your licence is in English or uses the Latin alphabet, an IDP is not required but may still be helpful if the Dollar counter agent has difficulty reading your licence.

• Obtain your IDP in your home country before travelling to Missouri, as it cannot be issued to foreign licence holders once you are in the United States
• Bring both your original licence and the IDP to the Dollar counter in Missouri
• All documents must be physical originals; digital copies are not accepted

The IDP requirement at the Dollar counter in Missouri is ultimately governed by the rental partner’s desk policy and local law. Always follow the instructions on your booking confirmation.

Dollar operates hire counters at major airports in Missouri, including St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL) and Springfield-Branson National Airport. Counter hours can vary by day and are subject to change on holidays.

At the St. Louis Dollar location, the counter is generally open from early morning through late evening on most days of the week, with hours roughly from 05:00 to 23:30 on weekdays and adjusted hours on weekends. The Springfield Dollar location follows a similar airport-based schedule.

• Always confirm the exact hours for your Missouri Dollar location on your booking confirmation before travelling
• If you are arriving on a holiday, check for adjusted hours in advance
• If your flight is delayed by less than 24 hours, Dollar in Missouri will generally hold your reservation; delays beyond 24 hours may require you to contact support
• For after-hours pickups or returns, check whether your specific Missouri Dollar location offers key-drop or after-hours arrangements

If you arrive and the Dollar counter in Missouri is unexpectedly closed, use the courtesy phone at the rental area or contact the number listed on your booking confirmation for assistance.

When picking up your Dollar hire in Missouri, some charges are included in your prepaid rate while others are due at the counter. Reviewing your booking confirmation before arriving helps you avoid surprises.

Charges typically due at the Missouri Dollar counter include:

• Security deposit hold (approximately US$300 to US$400 for standard vehicles, placed on your credit card and released after return)
• Young-hirer surcharge if the main driver is aged 20 to 24
• Additional driver fee if not included in your rate (approximately US$13.50 per day plus taxes, capped at US$189 plus taxes for Dollar in Missouri)
• Optional add-ons you choose at the counter, such as a toll package, GPS, or child seat
• Drop-off fee if you are returning the vehicle to a different Missouri or out-of-state location and this was disclosed on your confirmation

If your booking confirmation shows "Taxes and Fees: Included," you should not be billed locally for those items at the Dollar counter in Missouri. If you are charged for something not listed on your confirmation and not an optional add-on you accepted, the No Extra Charges© guarantee from Hola Car Rentals may apply. Keep all paperwork and contact support after the hire is complete.
