No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Dollar booking in El Paso 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 Dollar 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 Dollar counter in El Paso 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 Dollar 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 Dollar counter at El Paso International Airport (ELP) is located inside the terminal, so you can walk directly to it after collecting your baggage. No shuttle or separate rental car center is required for this Dollar location in El Paso.

After landing, follow the signs for "Rental Cars" from the baggage claim area. The Dollar desk is on-terminal, and vehicles are accessed via the rental garage connected to the terminal.

Allow roughly 30 to 60 minutes from the time you land to the moment you drive away, accounting for baggage, paperwork, and vehicle inspection. During busy periods or with reduced staffing, waits can be longer, so plan accordingly when scheduling your El Paso itinerary.

Yes, Dollar has off-airport locations in El Paso in addition to the El Paso International Airport counter.

Key Dollar neighborhood locations in El Paso include:

• Sunland Park HLE at 950 Crockett St, El Paso, TX 79922, approximately 7 miles from downtown El Paso
• Central El Paso at 6590 Montana Ave Unit F, El Paso, TX 79925
• El Paso East at 10961 Gateway West, El Paso, TX 79925

Neighborhood Dollar counters in El Paso generally operate Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with some locations open Saturday from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. These hours are shorter than the airport location, so confirm your pickup time before booking.

There is no dedicated shuttle from El Paso International Airport to these off-airport Dollar sites. Plan to arrive by taxi or rideshare if picking up at one of these locations.

To pick up your Dollar rental car in El Paso, you must present the following physical documents at 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
• A passport or valid government-issued photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
• Round-trip flight or travel tickets (required for visitors from outside the United States)

If your driver's license is not in English and does not use a Latin (Roman) alphabet, for example Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory at the Dollar counter in El Paso. For licenses in English or using a Latin alphabet, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required.

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

El Paso itself does not have a major cashless toll network like Dallas or Houston, but if you drive your Dollar rental car beyond El Paso into other parts of Texas, you may encounter cashless toll roads managed by systems such as TxTag, TollTag, or EZ TAG.

All Dollar rental vehicles in El Paso come equipped with an electronic toll device, either a transponder or a plate-based billing system. At the Dollar counter in El Paso you have two options:

• Unlimited toll package: a fixed daily rate of approximately US$11 to US$25 per rental day, covering unlimited toll usage
• Pay per use: the actual toll amount plus daily or administrative processing fees billed to your card, sometimes weeks after the rental ends

If you plan to use your own transponder, inform the Dollar agent in El Paso at pickup so they can deactivate the vehicle's default device and prevent duplicate charges.

All bookings through Hola Car Rentals include Tolls Cashback, which reimburses up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your El Paso rental. Submit your claim to [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle, along with your rental agreement and toll receipt.

Yes, Dollar charges a young driver surcharge in El Paso for renters under 25 years old.

The Dollar underage surcharge in El Paso is US$25.00 per rental day. This fee is paid at the counter and is in addition to the base rental rate.

In most U.S. states, including Texas, the minimum age to rent at Dollar is 21. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent but will pay the daily surcharge. Drivers under 25 are also restricted from certain vehicle classes such as full-size SUVs, luxury, premium, convertible, and van categories at the El Paso Dollar location.

To avoid surprises, Budget for this fee when comparing rates for your El Paso trip. The surcharge is not covered by No Extra Charges© and is a standard Dollar policy applied at the El Paso counter.

Yes, a physical major credit card is required at the Dollar counter in El Paso to cover the security deposit hold.

The card must meet all of the following conditions:

• It must be a major credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, or similar), not a debit or prepaid card
• The driver's name must be printed on the card
• The card must be in the main driver's name
• It must have sufficient available credit to cover the hold, typically around US$300 to US$400 for standard vehicles at U.S. locations

Digital wallets, virtual cards, and someone else's card are not accepted at the Dollar desk in El Paso. Even if you prepaid your booking, you must still present a physical credit card at pickup for the hold.

The hold is a temporary authorization, not a charge. Your bank controls how quickly it is released after you return the vehicle, which can take up to 15 business days. Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined at the El Paso counter.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Dollar rental in El Paso, either included in your rate or for a fee paid at the counter.

When the additional driver fee is not included in your rate, Dollar charges US$13.50 per rental day plus taxes, with a maximum cap of US$189 plus taxes for the rental period.

To add a driver at the El Paso Dollar counter:

• The additional driver must be present at pickup with a valid driver's license
• If their license uses a non-Latin alphabet, an IDP is also required
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement
• The additional driver must meet the minimum age requirements; drivers under 25 may be subject to the young driver surcharge

Only drivers listed on the Dollar rental agreement in El Paso are covered by the vehicle's protections such as CDW/LDW. Anyone not named on the contract who drives the car may void coverage entirely.

The insurance included with your Dollar rental in El Paso depends on the rate plan you selected when booking.

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

CDW/LDW does not cover:

• Damage or injury caused to third parties (other vehicles, people, or property)
• Tires, undercarriage, roof, or keys unless specifically included
• Incidents involving prohibited use such as off-road driving or driving under the influence

For third-party liability in El Paso, you can add Liability Insurance Supplementary (LIS/ALI/SLI) to your booking. Texas does not universally mandate that rental companies include state-minimum liability, so Hola Car Rentals strongly recommends adding LIS coverage for your Dollar rental in El Paso.

Always review your booking confirmation and the Dollar rental agreement at the El Paso counter to confirm exactly which coverages are active and what deductibles apply.

Dollar uses a Full-to-Full fuel policy for rentals in El Paso. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid fuel charges.

To avoid extra fees on your El Paso Dollar rental:

• Check the fuel gauge with the agent at pickup 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 return location, whether that is El Paso International Airport or a neighborhood Dollar site
• Keep your final fuel receipt as proof in case of a dispute

If you return the Dollar vehicle in El Paso with less than a full tank, you may be charged for the fuel shortfall at the partner's refueling rate, which is typically higher than pump prices, plus a refueling service fee.

For after-hours returns at the El Paso Dollar airport garage, leave your fuel receipt in the key drop envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge on your phone.

Yes, El Paso has several driving conditions that can catch visitors off guard when picking up a Dollar rental car.

Key things to be aware of:

• Dust storms: El Paso averages around 14 significant dust storm events per year, peaking between March and May. These storms can reduce visibility to near zero on highways with little warning. If you encounter one while driving your Dollar rental in El Paso, pull off the road safely and wait for conditions to improve.
• Intersection safety: Research shows that 87% of serious and fatal crashes in El Paso occur at intersections, with a high proportion happening in low-light conditions. Exercise extra caution at intersections, especially at night.
• Road geometry: Some El Paso arterials use continuous medians that block left turns, and certain intersecting streets are closed to new connections. This can be disorienting if you are used to more permeable grid layouts.
• Construction: As of early 2026, shifting lane patterns near I-25 North Gate Boulevard (Exit 156) were in effect due to stormwater work near the airport area. Allow extra time when returning your Dollar rental to El Paso International Airport.

There are no congestion charges, emissions zones, or city-center driving fees in El Paso.

Yes, one-way rentals are possible with Dollar in El Paso, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on your return location.

When booking a one-way Dollar rental from El Paso, the drop-off fee is shown during checkout under the "To pay at destination" section. This fee is route-specific and varies based on the distance between El Paso and your return city, the vehicle class, and the season.

General patterns for Dollar one-way rentals from El Paso:

• Returning to a different Dollar location within the same metro area: often no drop-off fee
• Returning to another Texas city such as Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio: a drop-off fee typically applies
• Cross-border returns (for example, into Mexico): generally not permitted under standard Dollar rental terms

The drop-off fee is not covered by No Extra Charges© unless it was not disclosed on your booking confirmation. Always review the "To pay at destination" section before confirming your El Paso Dollar reservation to avoid surprises at the counter.

Most bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection, which can be useful if an emergency occurs during your Dollar rental in El Paso.

Coverage typically includes:

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

If you are involved in an accident or medical emergency while driving your Dollar rental in El Paso, for example on a remote stretch of highway or during a dust storm, contact the assistance line immediately:

• Phone (24/7, toll-free): +1 888 980 9992
• WhatsApp: +1 208 910 1001
• Email: [email protected]

Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call. This benefit does not cover damage to the Dollar rental vehicle itself (that is handled by CDW/LDW) or third-party liability (covered by LIS/ALI/SLI).

Important: this travel assistance benefit does not apply to customers who are residents of the United States or Canada. Check your booking confirmation to verify whether this coverage is included in your El Paso Dollar rental.

Returning your Dollar rental car at El Paso International Airport after hours is possible via the key drop at the rental garage.

For an after-hours return of your Dollar vehicle in El Paso:

• Drive to the rental garage at El Paso International Airport, following signs for rental car returns
• Refuel before arriving, as fuel stations near the airport may have limited hours late at night
• Park the vehicle in the designated Dollar return area
• Place the keys in the after-hours key drop box along with your fuel receipt if applicable
• Take photos of the vehicle's condition, the fuel gauge showing a full tank, and the odometer before leaving

Note that neighborhood Dollar locations in El Paso, such as the Sunland Park HLE at 950 Crockett St, operate only during business hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and some Saturdays 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM). After-hours returns at these off-airport Dollar sites in El Paso are not confirmed, so the airport garage is the safest option for late returns.

Keep all paperwork and photos until you receive your final Dollar rental receipt confirming the El Paso return was processed correctly.
