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

When you arrive at South Bend International Airport (SBN), the Enterprise counter is located in the Rental Car Facility directly across from baggage claim. Proceed to the first floor of that facility to present your documents, sign the hire agreement, and collect your keys.

The Enterprise counter at South Bend airport operates with extended hours: 7:00 AM to 11:59 PM Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 11:59 PM on Saturdays, and 8:00 AM to 11:59 PM on Sundays. These hours are designed to accommodate most flight arrivals into South Bend.

To keep the process smooth, bring:

• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
• A valid driver’s licence (physical, original, unexpired)
• A major credit card in the main driver’s name for the authorisation hold
• Your passport or government-issued photo ID

Allow roughly 15 to 45 minutes from baggage claim to driving away, depending on queue length at the Enterprise counter in South Bend.

Enterprise operates several city branch locations in and around South Bend, each with shorter hours than the airport counter.

• South Bend S. Michigan St. (1420 S Michigan St): Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Saturday 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, closed Sunday. After-hours returns are not available at this location.
• Indiana State Route 933 (52200 IN-933, South Bend): Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Saturday 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, closed Sunday.
• Mishawaka (703 W Edison, near South Bend): Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Saturday and Sunday 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

If your travel schedule requires a late pickup or return, the Enterprise counter at South Bend International Airport (SBN) offers significantly extended hours and is the better option. Plan your return time carefully at city branches, as arriving after closing may mean you cannot complete the return until the next business day.

To collect your Enterprise hire in South Bend, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:

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

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 required alongside your original licence. The IDP is a translation only and cannot be used without the original licence.

All documents presented at the Enterprise counter in South Bend must be physical. Digital copies shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted. Name mismatches between your licence, passport, and credit card are one of the most common causes of problems at pickup, so verify they all match before you travel.

Yes, toll roads are relevant when driving a hire car from Enterprise in South Bend. The main toll route in the area is the Indiana Toll Road (I-90), a 157-mile east-west highway that runs across northern Indiana, connecting the Chicago area to the Ohio border. If you plan to drive west towards Chicago or east towards Ohio, you will encounter tolls on this road.

The Indiana Toll Road accepts E-ZPass, I-Pass, cash at some booths, and cashless video tolling via licence plate capture. Your Enterprise hire vehicle in South Bend comes pre-equipped with an electronic toll device.

At the Enterprise counter in South Bend you have two options:

• Purchase an unlimited toll package (typically US$11 to US$25 per day, depending on the programme) to cover all tolls during your hire
• Opt out and pay per use, in which case Enterprise will bill the actual toll amount plus an administrative processing fee to your card after the hire ends

If you opt out and drive through a cashless toll without your own transponder, the toll is captured by plate and billed at the higher video rate, plus fees. Toll charges can appear on your card days or even weeks after you return the vehicle, which is normal processing behaviour.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Enterprise hire in South Bend, and the additional driver must be present at the counter at the time of pickup with a valid driver’s licence.

For Enterprise hires in South Bend, the additional driver fee is US$15 per day plus applicable taxes. However, there is an important exception: a spouse or domestic partner who meets the same age and licence requirements as the main driver is added at no extra charge at the South Bend International Airport (SBN) Enterprise location.

Key rules to keep in mind:

• The additional driver must appear in person at the Enterprise counter in South Bend at pickup
• They must meet the same age and driver’s licence requirements as the main driver
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the hire agreement
• Only drivers listed on the agreement are covered by the hire protections

If your booking confirmation shows that an additional driver is included at no charge, confirm this with the Enterprise agent in South Bend before signing. If someone drives the vehicle who is not listed on the agreement, cover may be void and additional charges could apply.

All bookings made through Hola Car Rentals, including Enterprise hires in South Bend, include Tolls Cashback, which reimburses up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your hire.

This is especially useful if you drive the Indiana Toll Road (I-90) near South Bend, where tolls can add up depending on how far you travel east towards Ohio or west towards Chicago.

To claim your cashback after returning your Enterprise vehicle in South Bend:

• Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle
• Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback, followed by your reservation confirmation number
• Attach your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation, the signed hire agreement from Enterprise, and a toll receipt or invoice showing the charges paid

The refund is calculated as the lesser of the total tolls you actually paid or 5% of your booking total. For example, if your booking total was US$400, the maximum cashback is US$20. Refunds are issued to the original payment method and typically process within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Submissions received more than 30 days after vehicle return are not accepted.

Yes, a major credit card in the main driver’s name is required to pick up your Enterprise hire in South Bend. The card must have the driver’s name physically printed on it and must be presented in person at the counter.

At pickup, Enterprise in South Bend will place a temporary authorisation hold on your card, typically around US$300 to US$400 for a standard vehicle, though the exact amount depends on the vehicle class and location. This hold reduces your available credit until it is released after you return the car.

Important points to keep in mind:

• Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit
• Digital wallets and virtual card numbers are not accepted at the counter
• Even if you prepaid your booking online, you must still present a physical credit card at the South Bend Enterprise counter
• The card must belong to the main driver, not a third party

It is advisable to notify your bank before travelling and to bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined. After you return the vehicle, your bank controls how quickly the hold is released, which can take up to 15 business days.

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

An IDP is required if your driver’s licence uses a non-Latin alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic (Russian). In that case, you must carry both your original licence and the IDP together at the Enterprise counter in South Bend.

If your licence is in English or uses the Latin alphabet, you can generally drive with your foreign licence in Indiana without an IDP. However, having one is still advisable as a precaution, since individual Enterprise counter agents may request it.

Key points to remember:

• The IDP is a translation document only, not a standalone licence
• It must be presented alongside your original driver’s licence, never alone
• Obtain your IDP in your home country before travelling, as US issuers such as AAA do not issue IDPs to non-US licence holders
• All documents presented at the Enterprise counter in South Bend must be physical originals, not digital copies

Most bookings made through Hola Car Rentals, including Enterprise hires in South Bend, include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection. This benefit is particularly valuable if you experience a medical emergency or other travel disruption while driving in the South Bend area or on longer trips along the Indiana Toll Road.

• Travel insurance with medical coverage for up to 5 passengers

Have your full name and your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call. This coverage does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada. It also does not cover damage to the hire vehicle itself (that is handled by CDW/LDW) or third-party liability (covered by LIS/SLI). Always review your booking confirmation for the exact terms and limits that apply to your reservation.

Yes, one-way hires are possible with Enterprise, allowing you to pick up in South Bend and return the vehicle to a different location, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on your route.

The drop-off fee is set by Enterprise and varies based on the cities involved, the distance between them, the vehicle class, and the season. This fee is separate from mileage, fuel, and tolls.

When booking a one-way hire from South Bend through Hola Car Rentals:

• The drop-off fee, if applicable, will be shown on the rate details page during checkout under the section labelled as amounts due at the destination
• The fee is not prepaid and cannot be covered by No Extra Charges© Coverage unless it was not disclosed during booking
• Cross-state or long-distance one-ways from South Bend typically carry a fee, while same-city returns between the airport and a downtown Enterprise branch may not

If you need to change your return location after booking, contact support as soon as possible, since mid-rental route changes must be approved by Enterprise and may result in a higher fee or re-pricing of the entire hire. Always verify the drop-off fee on your confirmation before travelling.

The minimum age to hire from Enterprise in South Bend without a young-driver surcharge is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can hire but will be charged a daily young-renter surcharge, and most vehicle classes are restricted to renters aged 25 and older.

For Enterprise hires in South Bend, the young-renter surcharge is US$15 per day plus applicable taxes for drivers under 25.

Vehicle classes typically restricted to renters aged 25 and older include:

• Full Size and Full Size SUV
• Standard, Minivan, and Van
• Convertible, Luxury, Premium, and Premium SUV

Drivers aged 21 to 24 are generally limited to smaller categories such as Economy, Compact, Intermediate, and Intermediate SUV at the Enterprise counter in South Bend.

Regardless of age, all renters must present a valid driver’s licence and a major credit card in their name for the security deposit. If you are unsure whether your preferred vehicle class is available for your age at the South Bend Enterprise location, contact Hola Car Rentals customer service before booking.

Enterprise hires in South Bend follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy by default. This means you receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid fuel charges.

To avoid any disputes at the Enterprise counter in South Bend:

• 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 odometer and fuel gauge before leaving the lot
• Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the return location so the gauge does not drop below full before you arrive
• Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address

If you return the Enterprise vehicle in South Bend 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 the retail pump price, plus a refuelling service fee.

If the vehicle was not full at pickup, ask the Enterprise agent in South Bend to record the exact starting level on the agreement. You are then only required to return it at that same level, not necessarily full. Always verify what is written on the agreement matches what you see on the gauge before driving away.

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

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) reduces your financial liability for damage to the Enterprise hire vehicle itself, including collision, theft, and 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.

Third-Party Liability (LIS/SLI/ALI) covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving the Enterprise hire in South Bend. In Indiana, not all hire locations are required by state law to include minimum liability cover, so it is important to confirm what is included in your rate and consider adding supplementary liability if it is not.

Key points to review before pickup:

• Check your booking confirmation to see which coverages are included in your rate
• Verify both CDW/LDW and LIS/SLI/ALI on the hire agreement at the Enterprise counter in South Bend before signing
• Only drivers listed on the agreement are covered
• Prohibited use such as off-road driving, DUI, or unauthorised drivers can void cover

CDW/LDW and LIS/SLI/ALI are separate protections and both are recommended for complete cover during your South Bend Enterprise hire.
