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

The Enterprise counter at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF) in Kentucky is located inside the terminal on the lower level, directly across from baggage claim C. No shuttle is required; the counter is within walking distance of the baggage claim area.

After completing your paperwork at the Enterprise counter, you can walk to the nearby Hire Car Garage to collect your vehicle. When returning, park in the Enterprise return lane on the lower level of the Hire Car Garage and drop your keys in the drop box at the Enterprise counter near baggage claim.

For after-hours returns at this Kentucky location, use the key drop box at the counter. Always confirm your return time against the counter's operating hours before your trip ends.

At Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), the Enterprise counter is located on the baggage claim level. Follow the Car Hire signs from the arrivals hall to reach the Enterprise desk directly, without needing a shuttle.

CVG is one of the busiest Enterprise locations in Kentucky, and the counter operates extended hours, including early morning openings and late-night closings on Fridays and Saturdays (approximately 6:00 AM to 11:59 PM on those days). Hours on other days may differ, so confirm your specific pickup time against the counter schedule shown on your booking confirmation.

When returning your vehicle at CVG, follow the Hire Car Return signs to the Enterprise designated spaces and allow time to refuel nearby before dropping off, as the full-to-full fuel policy applies to all Enterprise hires in Kentucky.

Enterprise counter hours vary by location across Kentucky airports and neighbourhood branches. Here are examples from the research:

• CVG (Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport): Extended hours, approximately 6:00 AM to 11:59 PM on Fridays and Saturdays
• SDF (Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport): Counter open during key arrival and departure hours; after-hours key drop available
• OWB (Owensboro-Daviess County Regional Airport): Monday to Thursday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM; limited or closed on weekends
• PAH (Paducah Barkley Regional Airport): Daily approximately 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM; closed Saturdays
• Neighbourhood branches (e.g., Louisville, Lexington): Typically Monday to Friday 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Saturday 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, closed Sunday

Always verify the exact hours for your specific Enterprise location in Kentucky on your booking confirmation, as hours can change on public holidays. If you expect to arrive outside counter hours, check whether a key drop box is available at your chosen Kentucky Enterprise branch.

Kentucky uses a fully cashless toll system, meaning there are no toll booths and traffic flows without stopping. Tolls are collected electronically via licence plate photography at toll plazas. The main toll system operating in the Louisville area is RiverLink, which covers the bridges connecting Louisville and Southern Indiana, including the John F. Kennedy Memorial, Abraham Lincoln, and Lewis and Clark bridges. RiverLink also accepts E-ZPass and Pay-By-Plate accounts.

When you hire from Enterprise in Kentucky, your vehicle comes equipped with an electronic toll device. You have two main options at the counter:

• Enroll in a pay-per-use toll programme: you are charged for each toll incurred, plus a daily convenience fee (approximately GBP 4.95 per day, capped at around GBP 30 to GBP 34.65 per rental period). The daily fee only applies on days you actually use a toll road.
• Use your own personally owned transponder or the NextPass app: add the rental vehicle's licence plate to your account to avoid the Enterprise convenience charge.

If you drive through a toll without enrolling in any programme, Enterprise will receive the invoice from the toll authority and charge the toll amount plus administrative fees to your card on file, typically within 4 to 6 weeks after the rental ends.

Toll rates for a standard car in Kentucky range from US$2.68 with a transponder to US$5.36 with no account (invoice rate).

Yes, all bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include Tolls Cashback, which applies to Enterprise hires in Kentucky as well. You can get up to 5% of your total booking value back for tolls you paid during your hire, including any RiverLink charges on the Louisville bridges or other cashless toll roads in Kentucky.

To claim your cashback after returning your Enterprise vehicle in Kentucky:

• Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle
• Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback - Reservation [Your Confirmation Number]
• Attach your Hola Car Rentals confirmation, the signed hire agreement from Enterprise, and a receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid

The refund is calculated as the lesser of the actual tolls paid or 5% of your booking total. For example, if your booking total is US$500, the maximum cashback is US$25. If you paid US$18 in Kentucky tolls, you receive US$18 back. Refunds are processed to your original payment method within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Late submissions received after 30 days are not accepted.

To pick up your Enterprise hire car in Kentucky, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:

• A valid, unexpired driver’s licence (original, not digital) in the main driver’s name, valid for the entire hire period
• A major credit card with the driver’s name printed on the card, in the main driver’s name, for the security deposit authorisation hold
• A passport or valid government-issued photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets (required for visitors travelling internationally)

If your driver’s licence 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 alongside your original licence. For licences in English or using a Latin alphabet, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required at most Enterprise locations in Kentucky.

Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit authorisation hold at Enterprise in Kentucky. All documents must be physical; digital versions will not be accepted at the counter.

Yes, a physical major credit card in the main driver’s name with the driver’s name printed on the card is required for the security deposit authorisation hold at Enterprise locations in Kentucky. Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual or digital wallet payments are not accepted for the deposit.

At Enterprise in Kentucky, the typical security hold for a standard vehicle is approximately US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount varies by location, vehicle class, and season. Premium or speciality vehicles may carry a higher hold.

The hold is a temporary authorisation, not a charge. It reduces your available credit until Enterprise releases it after you return the vehicle. Your bank or card issuer controls how quickly the hold disappears from your statement, which can take up to 15 business days after release.

Before your pickup at any Kentucky Enterprise location, notify your bank of your travel plans to prevent the authorisation from being flagged as suspicious, and ensure you have sufficient available credit to cover both the hold and any expected charges.

At Enterprise locations in Kentucky, the standard minimum age to hire without a surcharge is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can hire from Enterprise in Kentucky but will be charged a daily young-driver surcharge, and most vehicle classes are restricted to renters aged 25 and older.

Vehicle classes typically restricted to renters 25 and older at Enterprise in Kentucky include full-size sedans, full-size SUVs, minivans, vans, convertibles, luxury, and premium vehicles. Younger renters are generally limited to economy, compact, and intermediate categories.

Kentucky is not one of the states (such as New York or Michigan) where law requires hire companies to rent to drivers aged 18 and older. The Enterprise standard policy applies, meaning 21 is the practical minimum age in Kentucky, subject to the young-driver surcharge.

Note that some Enterprise neighbourhood locations in Louisville may also apply surcharges to drivers over 70. Always confirm the specific surcharge amount for your age group on your booking confirmation before arriving at the Kentucky counter.

Yes, most bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include travel assistance coverage via Terrawind Global Protection, which applies to Enterprise hires in Kentucky. This is particularly useful if you experience an emergency while driving on Kentucky highways or in more remote areas of the state.

The travel assistance coverage typically includes:

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

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

Important: this travel assistance benefit does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada. It is designed for international visitors renting from Enterprise in Kentucky. It also does not cover damage to the hire vehicle itself (that is handled by CDW/LDW) or third-party liability (covered by LIS/ALI/SLI).

Enterprise hires in Kentucky follow a full-to-full fuel policy. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges. If you return the car with less than a full tank, Enterprise will charge you for the fuel shortfall at their refuelling rate, which is typically higher than retail pump prices, plus a service fee.

To avoid fuel charges at any Enterprise location in Kentucky:

• Check the fuel gauge with the agent at pickup and confirm the starting level is recorded on the hire agreement
• Take a photo of the dashboard showing the full gauge and odometer at pickup
• Refuel within approximately 10 miles or 15 km of the return location so the gauge does not drop before you arrive
• Keep your final fuel receipt as proof in case of any dispute

If you are returning to a Kentucky airport such as SDF, CVG, or LEX, ask the Enterprise agent at pickup about the nearest fuel stations to the return point, or use a navigation app to locate one on your way back. For after-hours returns at SDF, leave your fuel receipt in the key drop envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge on your phone.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Enterprise hire in Kentucky, either as part of your rate or by paying a fee at the counter. For Enterprise in Kentucky, the additional driver fee is US$15 per day plus applicable taxes when not included in your rate.

To add an additional driver at any Enterprise location in Kentucky:

• The additional driver must be present at the counter at pickup
• They must present a valid driver’s licence (and an IDP if their licence uses a non-Latin alphabet)
• They must meet the minimum age requirements for Kentucky
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the hire agreement

Only drivers listed on the Enterprise hire agreement in Kentucky are covered by the vehicle's protections, including CDW/LDW and liability coverage. If someone drives who is not named on the contract, coverage may be void and additional charges could apply.

Check your booking confirmation before arriving at the Enterprise counter in Kentucky to see whether your rate already includes one additional driver at no extra cost.

Yes, one-way hires are available through Enterprise in Kentucky, allowing you to pick up in one city and return in another, such as picking up in Louisville and dropping off in Lexington. However, a drop-off fee may apply depending on the route, vehicle class, and season.

Enterprise operates over 50 locations across Kentucky, including airports and neighbourhood branches in Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, Owensboro, Paducah, Covington, Florence, Georgetown, and other cities. This wide network makes one-way hires within Kentucky practical for many routes.

The drop-off fee for your specific Enterprise route in Kentucky will be shown during the booking process under the To Pay at Destination section of the checkout screen. It will also appear on your booking confirmation. This fee cannot be prepaid and is paid directly to Enterprise at the counter.

If you need to change your drop-off location after booking, be aware that the route may be repriced and the drop-off fee recalculated. Cross-border one-way hires, such as returning an Enterprise vehicle outside Kentucky to another US state, may carry higher fees or restrictions depending on the route.

When hiring from Enterprise in Kentucky, two main types of cover are worth understanding before you arrive at the counter.

The first is Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW), which reduces your financial liability for damage to the Enterprise vehicle itself from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation explicitly shows zero deductible. CDW/LDW does not cover damage you cause to other vehicles or people.

The second is Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI), which covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving the Enterprise hire in Kentucky. Some US states require hire companies to include state-minimum liability, but not all do. Kentucky renters are strongly encouraged to add supplementary liability cover (up to US$300,000) to their booking for adequate protection on Kentucky roads.

Neither CDW/LDW nor LIS/ALI/SLI covers your personal injuries (that requires PAI) or your belongings (that requires PEC). Always review your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation to confirm which coverages are included in your selected rate for your Enterprise hire in Kentucky, and verify the details on the hire agreement at the counter before signing.
