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

At Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in New Jersey, the Dollar counter is located near the AirTrain P3 station. After landing, take the AirTrain to the P3 stop, where Dollar provides shuttle or pick-up service to their counter at 134 Lindenberg Road or 132 Carson Road.

The EWR Dollar location operates daily from 06:00 to 23:59, so it covers most flight arrival times. Follow the AirTrain signs from your terminal, board at the designated stop, and exit at P3. Dollar shuttle buses cycle regularly from that point to the counter.

If you are unsure which terminal to start from, look for AirTrain signage throughout the airport. Allow extra time if you have a connecting flight or checked baggage to collect before heading to the Dollar pick-up area in New Jersey.

Dollar operating hours in New Jersey vary by location, so it is important to confirm before you arrive.

• Newark Airport (EWR) at 132 Carson Road or 134 Lindenberg Road: open daily 06:00 to 23:59
• 589 Ferry Street, Newark: Monday to Friday 08:00 to 17:00 (closed weekends)
• 2105 Route 22: Monday to Friday 08:00 to 17:00, Saturday 09:00 to 12:00

If your flight arrives outside counter hours at a non-airport Dollar location in New Jersey, contact the branch in advance to confirm after-hours arrangements. The EWR airport location has the widest coverage window and is the most practical option for late arrivals. Always cross-check hours on your booking confirmation, as holiday schedules can differ from standard hours.

Yes, Dollar operates several off-airport locations in New Jersey in addition to the Newark Airport (EWR) counter.

• 589 Ferry Street, Newark (weekdays only, 08:00 to 17:00)
• 144 Passaic Avenue, Newark area
• 2105 Route 22 (weekdays and Saturday mornings)
• DSH Newport Mall, 49 Mall Drive West, Jersey City
• 1404 Bergen Boulevard, Fort Lee
• 923 NJ-35, Middletown Township

These New Jersey city and suburban Dollar branches can be a practical alternative if you are not arriving by plane or if you prefer to avoid airport concession fees. Keep in mind that off-airport locations generally have more limited hours than the EWR counter, and some are closed on weekends. Confirm the exact address and hours for your chosen Dollar branch before your pickup day, as availability and schedules can change.

New Jersey has an extensive toll network, and driving a Dollar rental car in New Jersey means you will very likely encounter tolled roads. The main toll routes include the New Jersey Turnpike, the Garden State Parkway, and the Atlantic City Expressway. Most tolling is cashless, using E-ZPass transponders or Toll-By-Plate (camera-based billing).

When you pick up your Dollar rental in New Jersey, you typically have two options at the counter:

• Unlimited toll package: a fixed daily rate (approximately US$11 to US$25 per day) that covers all tolls during the rental period
• Pay per use: the actual toll amount plus daily or administrative processing fees billed after the rental ends

If you opt out of the Dollar toll program and drive a cashless-only gantry without a personal transponder, the rental company may charge up to three times the toll amount (capped at US$5 per toll) in addition to the toll itself. Toll-By-Plate rates are also higher than E-ZPass rates on New Jersey roads.

Approximate toll costs for reference: New Jersey Turnpike starts at around US$0.95 and increases with distance; Garden State Parkway starts at around US$1.90; Atlantic City Expressway full length is approximately US$5.50. A 3% rate increase took effect January 1, 2026 on several facilities.

There are no congestion charges or emissions zones in New Jersey.

No, New Jersey itself does not have a congestion charge or emissions zone. However, if you drive your Dollar rental from New Jersey into Manhattan, you may be subject to New York City's Congestion Relief Zone fee.

The NYC congestion fee applies to most of Manhattan south of and including 60th Street, down to the southern tip of the island. Rental companies typically bill this as a daily charge of approximately US$8.99 plus taxes and fees for each day the vehicle enters the zone. Cameras automatically detect vehicles, so there are no traditional toll booths to stop at.

You can travel on the FDR Drive or the West Side Highway (Route 9A) without triggering the congestion fee, as long as you do not exit onto local streets within the zone. If your New Jersey itinerary with Dollar includes any trips into lower or midtown Manhattan, factor this daily fee into your Budget. The charge will appear on your final rental invoice or as a post-rental billing from the Dollar toll processing system.

Yes, all bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include Tolls Cashback, which lets you recover up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your Dollar rental in New Jersey.

Given that New Jersey roads such as the Turnpike, Garden State Parkway, and bridges or tunnels into New York City can generate significant toll costs, this benefit can add up meaningfully.

To claim your cashback:

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

The refund is issued to the same payment method used for your booking and typically processes within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Late submissions received after 30 days are not accepted. This benefit does not mean tolls are prepaid; you still pay them normally during the rental and claim reimbursement afterward.

To collect your Dollar rental in New Jersey, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:

• A valid, original driver's license in the main driver's name (not a digital copy)
• A major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card, in the main driver's name, for the security deposit hold
• A passport or valid government-issued photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets (required for visitors traveling internationally)

If your driver's license is not in English and does not use a Latin (Roman) alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory. For licenses in English or a Latin alphabet, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required. The IDP is a translation document only and must be carried alongside your original license.

Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted for the security deposit at the Dollar counter in New Jersey. All documents must be physical originals.

When picking up a Dollar rental in New Jersey, the counter will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card. This hold is not a charge but reduces your available credit until it is released after you return the vehicle.

For standard vehicles rented in the United States, typical holds range from approximately US$300 to US$400. The exact amount at your Dollar location in New Jersey may vary depending on the vehicle class, rental duration, and the specific branch policy. Premium or specialty vehicles can carry higher holds.

A few important points to keep in mind:

• Only a major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card is accepted for the deposit; debit and prepaid cards are not allowed
• The hold is released after drop-off, but your bank controls when it appears back on your available credit, which can take up to 15 business days
• Bring a backup credit card in case your primary card is declined
• Notify your bank of your travel plans to prevent fraud blocks on in-person authorizations

Hola Car Rentals cannot confirm the exact hold amount in advance, as final deposit rules are set by the Dollar counter and may differ by location within New Jersey.

The minimum age to rent a Dollar car in New Jersey without a young-renter surcharge is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent but will be charged a daily underage fee at the counter.

For Dollar, Hertz, and Thrifty, the young-renter surcharge is approximately US$13.50 per rental day plus taxes, with a maximum cap of US$189 plus taxes for the rental period.

Additional restrictions for drivers under 25 in New Jersey include:

• Most vehicle classes are restricted; economy, compact, and intermediate categories are typically the only options available
• Full-size sedans, SUVs, minivans, convertibles, luxury, and premium vehicles generally require the driver to be at least 25

New Jersey is not one of the states (like New York or Michigan) that legally requires rental companies to rent to drivers aged 18 and older, so the standard Dollar policy of 21 as the minimum age applies. Always confirm the surcharge amount on your booking confirmation before arriving at the Dollar counter in New Jersey.

Adding an extra driver to your Dollar rental in New Jersey costs approximately US$13.50 per rental day plus taxes, with a maximum cap of US$189 plus taxes for the full rental period. This fee is paid at the Dollar counter at pickup.

Some Hola Car Rentals rate plans include one additional driver at no extra cost. Check your booking confirmation for the line that reads "Additional driver free of charge" before arriving at the counter in New Jersey.

Requirements for adding an extra driver at any Dollar location in New Jersey:

• The additional driver must be present at pickup with a valid physical driver's license
• They must meet the minimum age requirements (21 to 24 with a surcharge, 25 and over without)
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement
• An IDP is required if the additional driver's license uses a non-Latin alphabet

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

Dollar rentals in New Jersey 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.

Steps to follow for a smooth fuel return:

• At pickup, check the fuel gauge with the Dollar 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 or 15 kilometers of the return location so the gauge does not drop before you arrive
• Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address

If you return the Dollar vehicle in New Jersey 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 retail pump prices, plus a refueling service fee.

Some Dollar counter locations may offer a prepaid fuel option. If you accept it, any unused fuel is generally non-refundable, so the Full-to-Full approach is usually the better value for most renters.

Yes, in most cases you can pick up a Dollar rental in New Jersey and return it in another U.S. state, but a one-way drop-off fee may apply depending on the route and vehicle class.

One-way fees are route-specific and vary by distance, destination, and the vehicle category you select. The fee will be shown during the booking process under the "To pay at destination" section if it applies to your route. Common patterns include:

• Short routes between nearby cities or airports: sometimes no drop-off fee
• Longer interstate routes from New Jersey to distant states: a drop-off fee typically applies
• Premium, large SUV, or specialty vehicles: often carry higher repositioning fees

Cross-border travel outside the United States (for example, into Canada) may be restricted or require prior authorization from Dollar. Always check your rental agreement for territory rules before driving across any border.

If you need to change your drop-off location after booking, contact support as soon as possible, since route changes can reprice the rental and recalculate any applicable one-way fee for your New Jersey Dollar reservation.
