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

Nova Scotia has two main toll points that Enterprise renters should know about before hitting the road.

• Cobequid Pass on Highway 104: a 45-km section between Masstown and Thomson Station. The toll for a passenger car is GBP 4.00 one way, payable at cash booths. If your Enterprise vehicle carries Nova Scotia plates, attendants may wave you through at the cash lane, so always use the cash lane and inform the attendant. Out-of-province plates have been subject to the toll since December 2021.
• Halifax Bridges (Angus L. Macdonald and A. Murray MacKay): these bridges operated under the MACPASS cashless system, but tolls were removed entirely on 17 March 2025. No toll applies when crossing these bridges in your Enterprise hire today.

There are no congestion charges or emissions zones anywhere in Nova Scotia. If you want to avoid the Cobequid Pass entirely, Highway 4 through Wentworth Valley is an alternative, though it adds travel time.

Yes, Enterprise and other hire partners may offer a toll programme for Nova Scotia hires, though the setup differs from high-toll US markets.

Because Nova Scotia has very few cashless-only toll points, the situation is simpler than in many US states. The main electronic system in the Halifax area is MACPASS, used for the city bridges, but those bridge tolls were eliminated in March 2025. The Cobequid Pass on Highway 104 still has staffed cash booths where you can pay GBP 4.00 per crossing directly.

If Enterprise offers a daily toll programme for your Nova Scotia booking, weigh the cost carefully. A flat daily fee charged for every hire day regardless of use may exceed what you would pay in actual tolls, especially for short trips or routes that bypass the Cobequid Pass. Ask the Enterprise counter agent in Nova Scotia to explain the exact daily rate and whether it is capped before you opt in.

If you choose not to enrol and accidentally pass through a cashless lane, the toll is billed to the hire company, which then charges your card plus an administrative fee of roughly GBP 11 to GBP 22. Using cash lanes at the Cobequid Pass avoids this entirely.

To collect your Enterprise vehicle in Nova Scotia, bring the following physical documents to the counter.

• Your original, unexpired driver’s licence. If your licence is not in English and does not use a Latin alphabet (for example, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script), you must also carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) as a translation alongside the original licence.
• A major credit card with your name printed on the physical card. This is required for the security deposit authorisation hold. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the hold.
• Your passport or valid government-issued photo ID.
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher.
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets if you are visiting Nova Scotia from abroad.

All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies shown on a phone are not accepted at the Enterprise counter in Nova Scotia. An IDP is a translation only and is invalid without the original licence accompanying it. If you think you may need one, obtain it in your home country before travelling, as it cannot be issued abroad.

Yes, Tolls Cashback is included on all Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Enterprise hires in Nova Scotia, and it covers tolls you pay during your trip.

In Nova Scotia the main toll you are likely to pay is the GBP 4.00 crossing at the Cobequid Pass on Highway 104. If you drive that route multiple times or continue into other Canadian provinces with additional toll roads, those costs can add up. Hola Car Rentals reimburses the lesser of your total tolls paid or up to 5% of your booking total.

To claim after returning your Enterprise vehicle in Nova Scotia:

• Email [email protected] within 30 days of vehicle return.
• Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback - HOLA followed by your confirmation number.
• Attach your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation, the Enterprise hire agreement signed at pick-up, and a receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid.
• Include your full name, travel dates, and the last 4 digits of the card used for the booking.

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.

When you pick up your Enterprise vehicle in Nova Scotia, the counter agent will place a temporary authorisation hold on your credit card. For standard vehicles hired in Canada, this hold is typically in the range of GBP 200 to GBP 350, though some Enterprise locations may require up to GBP 600 as a minimum authorisation.

This is not a charge. It is a temporary block on your available credit that is released after you return the vehicle. Your bank controls how quickly the hold disappears from your statement, and it can take up to 15 business days after drop-off.

• Only a major credit card with your name printed on the physical card is accepted for the hold at the Enterprise counter in Nova Scotia.
• Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual card numbers are not accepted.
• Premium or larger vehicle classes may carry a higher hold amount.
• Notify your bank of your travel to Nova Scotia to prevent the authorisation from being flagged as suspicious.

Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined. The exact hold amount is set by Enterprise at the Nova Scotia location and may vary by season or vehicle class.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Enterprise hire in Nova Scotia, either as part of your rate or for a fee paid at the counter.

For Enterprise in Nova Scotia, the additional driver fee is GBP 12 per day plus applicable taxes when not included in your rate. Check your booking confirmation for the line that reads "Additional driver free of charge" to see whether it is already covered.

• The additional driver must be present at the Enterprise counter in Nova Scotia at pick-up with their own valid driver’s licence and ID.
• If their licence is not in English or uses a non-Latin alphabet, they must also bring an IDP.
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the hire agreement.
• Only drivers listed on the agreement are covered by protections such as CDW/LDW.

If you need to add a driver after pick-up, visit an Enterprise branch in Nova Scotia to update the agreement. Adding an unlisted driver who then drives the vehicle can void your cover, so make sure everyone who will drive is named on the contract before leaving the counter.

Enterprise hires in Nova Scotia 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 pick-up, check the fuel gauge with the Enterprise 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 lot.
• Refuel within approximately 15 km 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 Enterprise vehicle in Nova Scotia with less than a full tank, you may be charged for the fuel shortfall at the partner's refuelling rate, which is typically higher than pump prices, plus a refuelling service fee. For after-hours returns, leave the receipt in the key envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge on your phone as evidence. If the vehicle was not full at pick-up, the starting level must be noted on the agreement and you only need to return it at that same level.

Yes, most Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Enterprise hires in Nova Scotia, include travel assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection. However, this benefit does not apply to Canadian or US residents. It is designed for visitors travelling to Nova Scotia from outside North America.

If you are eligible, the coverage typically includes:

• Travel insurance with medical cover for up to 5 passengers, useful if you need emergency care while exploring Nova Scotia's more remote areas.
• Legal assistance in the event of a road accident.
• Compensation for luggage lost by the airline on your way to Nova Scotia.
• Flight cancellation insurance.

This cover does not replace CDW/LDW for damage to the Enterprise vehicle, nor does it cover third-party liability to others. To get help 24 hours a day, call +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free) or contact WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call. Check your booking confirmation for the exact terms and limits that apply to your specific reservation.

When hiring with Enterprise in Nova Scotia, Canadian provincial law requires every vehicle to carry third-party liability insurance. This statutory liability is included by default when you book through Hola Car Rentals in Canada, meaning you are covered for bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others. You can still purchase higher supplemental liability limits if you want additional protection.

For damage to the Enterprise vehicle itself, Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) reduces your financial liability for covered incidents such as collisions, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation explicitly states zero deductible.

• CDW/LDW covers the hire car only, not injuries to others or your personal belongings.
• Common exclusions include tyres, undercarriage, roof damage, and incidents involving unauthorised drivers or prohibited use.
• All drivers must be listed on the Enterprise hire agreement in Nova Scotia for cover to apply.

Review your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation to confirm which covers are included in your selected rate before arriving at the Enterprise counter in Nova Scotia.

Yes, one-way hires are possible with Enterprise in Nova Scotia, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on your return location, and cross-border rules vary by partner.

If you pick up in Nova Scotia and return the Enterprise vehicle in another Canadian province such as New Brunswick, Quebec, or Ontario, a one-way drop-off fee is likely. This fee is route-specific and is set by Enterprise based on distance, vehicle class, and season. It is not included in any rate plan and cannot be prepaid.

• During booking, the drop-off fee appears on the rate details page under the "To pay at destination" section if it applies to your route.
• Confirm the fee shown on your booking confirmation matches what the Enterprise counter in Nova Scotia presents at pick-up.
• Cross-border one-ways outside Canada (for example, driving into the United States) may be restricted or require prior authorisation from Enterprise. Always confirm before booking.

If the Enterprise counter in Nova Scotia charges a drop-off fee that was not disclosed on your confirmation, keep all paperwork and contact Hola Car Rentals support. The No Extra Charges© guarantee may apply if the fee was not previously disclosed.

If you return your Enterprise vehicle in Nova Scotia after the agreed drop-off time, a grace period of approximately 30 minutes typically applies, though this is not guaranteed at every location. Beyond that window, Enterprise may charge for additional hours or a full extra day, plus a potential late fee.

• Check the Enterprise hire agreement you signed in Nova Scotia for the exact grace period and overtime rate that applies to your contract.
• If you know you will be late, contact the Enterprise location in Nova Scotia as early as possible to discuss options.
• Returning after branch hours in Nova Scotia is possible at locations with key-drop facilities. Follow the after-hours return instructions on your hire agreement and keep a photo of the vehicle condition and fuel gauge as evidence.

If you need more time, you can request a hire extension during your trip. Contact the Enterprise branch in Nova Scotia directly or reach Hola Car Rentals support to explore extending your reservation before the original return time passes. Charges for extensions are calculated at the current daily rate and are paid locally to Enterprise.

Enterprise hires in Nova Scotia follow a specific cancellation policy that differs from other Hola Car Rentals partner brands. Because Enterprise belongs to the Alamo/National/Enterprise group, a 48-hour cancellation window applies.

• If you cancel more than 48 hours before your scheduled pick-up time in Nova Scotia, you are eligible for a full refund.
• If you cancel within 48 hours of pick-up, a cancellation penalty may apply. Review your booking confirmation for the exact terms that apply to your reservation.
• If you need to modify dates, times, or the pick-up location for your Enterprise booking in Nova Scotia, changes may reprice the hire based on current availability and rates.

To cancel or modify, use the Manage Booking link in your Hola Car Rentals confirmation email. Refunds are returned to the original payment method. Processing time varies by bank but is typically within 7 to 10 business days after the cancellation is confirmed. If you have questions about your specific Enterprise reservation in Nova Scotia, contact Hola Car Rentals support via WhatsApp at +1 (786) 999-8312 or email [email protected].

When collecting your Enterprise hire in Nova Scotia, your booking confirmation is the most reliable guide to the exact counter location, since Enterprise operates at multiple points across the province including Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ) and downtown Halifax.

• At Halifax Stanfield Airport, follow the car hire signs after arriving in the terminal. Enterprise and other hire brands are typically located in or near the arrivals area. Your confirmation will specify whether the counter is inside the terminal or requires a short transfer.
• For city or downtown Nova Scotia locations, your confirmation will include the street address. Bring the exact address and call the branch if you have difficulty locating it.
• If you arrive after hours, check your Enterprise hire agreement and confirmation for key-drop or after-hours collection instructions specific to your Nova Scotia location.

If you cannot locate the Enterprise counter in Nova Scotia, use the airport information desk, look for courtesy phones near the baggage claim area, or contact Hola Car Rentals support via WhatsApp at +1 (786) 999-8312. Always match the operating brand shown on your Hola Car Rentals confirmation to the signage at the location.
