No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your booking in Coral Gables 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 Coral Gables 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 Hertz branch in Coral Gables is located at 370 South Dixie Highway, Coral Gables, GBP 33133. This is a neighbourhood city location, not an airport counter, so the collection process differs from renting at Miami International Airport.

When collecting at this Hertz address in Coral Gables, bring your booking confirmation, a physical major credit card in the main driver’s name, your driver’s licence, and your passport or government-issued photo ID. All documents must be physical originals, as digital copies are not accepted at the counter.

If you are arriving by air and prefer to collect directly at the airport, Hertz also operates near Miami International Airport at 3900 NW 25th Street, Suite 410, Miami, FL 33122, which is approximately 13.5 km from the Coral Gables city centre.

To collect your Hertz hire in Coral Gables, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:

• A valid, original driver’s licence in the main driver’s name
• A physical major credit card with the driver’s name printed on the card, used for the authorisation hold
• A passport or valid government-issued photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets if you are visiting from abroad

If your driver’s licence is not in English and does not use a Latin alphabet (for example, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script), an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory alongside your original licence. For licences in English or Latin-alphabet languages, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required at the Hertz counter in Coral Gables.

Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted for the authorisation hold. Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined.

Florida’s toll roads are almost entirely cashless, and this applies to all routes you are likely to use around Coral Gables. The main electronic systems are SunPass and E-PASS, and most expressways near Miami use plate-based billing (Toll-by-Plate) where no cash lanes exist.

When you collect your Hertz vehicle in Coral Gables, you will typically have two options:

• Purchase an unlimited toll package at approximately US$13.99 per day or US$69.95 per week, which covers all tolls during your hire
• Decline the package and pay per use, in which case Hertz will charge the actual toll amount plus an administrative fee of approximately US$9.99 per day on any day a toll is incurred

Common toll roads near Coral Gables include the Florida Turnpike and I-95 Express lanes, with estimated daily toll costs of US$5 to US$20 depending on your route. If you plan to drive between Miami and Orlando, expect approximately US$15 to US$30 in tolls one way.

Toll charges can appear on your credit card days or even weeks after you return the Hertz vehicle, as toll agencies process invoices in batches. Keep your hire agreement and any toll receipts to reconcile charges.

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 Hertz hire in Coral Gables.

Florida’s toll network around Coral Gables is entirely cashless, so you will almost certainly encounter toll charges whether you use the Florida Turnpike, I-95 Express lanes, or other expressways in the Miami area. The Tolls Cashback benefit helps offset those costs.

To claim your cashback after returning your Hertz vehicle in Coral Gables:

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

Refunds are issued to the original payment method used for your reservation and typically process within 7 to 10 working days after approval. Claims submitted after 30 days are not accepted, so act promptly once your hire ends.

Coral Gables has several road features that can catch first-time drivers off guard, and knowing them before collecting your Hertz hire will make navigating the city much easier.

• Coral Gables has 71 traffic circles and multiple roundabouts throughout its residential and commercial streets. You must yield to vehicles already in the circle and proceed one lane at a time.
• US 1 (South Dixie Highway) runs diagonally through the city centre, intersecting east-west and north-south streets at unusual angles that can disorient drivers used to standard grid layouts.
• Ongoing reconstruction projects on Biltmore Way, Granada Plaza, and Miracle Mile have reduced lanes, added pedestrian-priority zones, and created temporary detours. Expect narrower traffic lanes and altered intersection layouts in these areas.
• Giralda Avenue is periodically closed to vehicles for pedestrian events using bollards, so plan alternative routes if driving in that area on evenings or weekends.
• Residential streets use physical traffic calming measures including speed humps, chicanes, and median islands, enforcing lower speeds more aggressively than in most UK suburbs.

Drive at posted speeds and allow extra time when navigating central Coral Gables in your Hertz hire, particularly around the Miracle Mile and Biltmore Way corridors.

When you collect your Hertz hire in Coral Gables, the counter will place a temporary authorisation hold on your credit card as a security deposit. For standard vehicles rented in the United States, this hold is typically around US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount varies by vehicle class, hire duration, and the specific Hertz location.

A few important points to keep in mind:

• The hold is not a charge. It temporarily reduces your available credit and is released after you return the vehicle.
• Your bank controls how quickly the hold disappears from your statement. It can take up to 15 working days after return for the credit to reappear.
• You must present a physical major credit card with your name printed on it. Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted for the deposit at the Hertz counter in Coral Gables.
• Premium or speciality vehicle classes may carry a higher hold amount.

Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined or does not have sufficient available credit to cover the authorisation hold.

Yes, drivers under 25 years old are subject to a young-driver surcharge when renting a Hertz vehicle in Coral Gables. In the United States, Hertz charges an additional daily fee for renters aged 21 to 24, and most vehicle classes are restricted to drivers 25 and older.

Specifically for Hertz in Coral Gables:

• The young-driver surcharge is approximately US$13.50 per hire day, with a maximum charge of US$189 for the hire period
• Vehicle classes such as full-size saloons, SUVs, minivans, convertibles, luxury, and premium cars are typically restricted to renters aged 25 and over
• Economy, compact, and intermediate categories are generally available to renters aged 21 to 24

Florida does not have a state law requiring rentals to drivers under 21 (unlike New York or Michigan), so the minimum age at the Hertz Coral Gables branch is 21 for eligible vehicle classes. Drivers under 21 cannot rent.

All standard requirements still apply regardless of age: a valid driver’s licence, a physical major credit card in the main driver’s name, and any required International Driving Permit.

The insurance coverage included in your Hertz hire in Coral Gables depends on the rate plan you selected when booking. It is important to review your booking confirmation carefully before arriving at the counter.

The two main protections to look for are:

• Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): reduces your financial liability for damage to the Hertz vehicle. A deductible may still apply unless your confirmation explicitly states zero deductible. CDW and LDW do not cover damage you cause to other vehicles or people.
• Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI): covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving. In Florida, not all hire rates include this automatically, so check your confirmation. Adding supplementary liability cover of up to US$300,000 is strongly recommended.

Neither CDW nor LDW covers tyres, undercarriage, roof damage, or personal belongings. Prohibited use such as off-road driving, driving under the influence, or unauthorised drivers voids cover entirely.

At the Hertz counter in Coral Gables, review the hire agreement carefully before signing to confirm which protections are active and what deductibles apply.

Yes, most bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include travel assistance cover provided by Terrawind Global Protection, and this applies to your Hertz hire in Coral Gables as well. However, this benefit is available only to non-North American customers. Residents of the United States and Canada do not qualify.

If you are eligible, the travel assistance cover typically includes:

• Medical cover for up to 5 passengers for accidents and non-pre-existing illnesses
• Legal assistance in the event of a road accident, which is particularly relevant on busy routes like US 1 and the Florida Turnpike near Coral Gables
• Compensation for luggage lost by the airline
• Flight cancellation insurance

If you need assistance during your Hertz hire in Coral Gables, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day:

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

Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call. Always contact the assistance line before incurring medical or legal expenses, as some reimbursements require prior authorisation. Check your booking confirmation for the exact cover limits that apply to your reservation.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Hertz hire in Coral Gables, either as part of your rate or by paying a fee at the counter.

For Hertz in Coral Gables, the additional driver fee is approximately US$13.50 per hire day, with a maximum charge of US$189 for the hire period, unless your booking confirmation explicitly states that an additional driver is included at no extra cost.

To add a driver at the Hertz counter in Coral Gables:

• The additional driver must be physically present at collection
• They must present a valid driver’s licence and, if required, an International Driving Permit
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the hire agreement
• The additional driver must meet the minimum age requirements. Drivers aged 21 to 24 may be subject to a young-driver surcharge on top of the additional driver fee

Only drivers listed on the hire agreement are covered by protections such as CDW and liability insurance. If someone not named on the contract drives the Hertz vehicle in Coral Gables, cover may be void and additional charges could apply.

Hertz hires in Coral Gables follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy by default. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid fuel charges.

To avoid extra costs at the end of your hire:

• Check the fuel gauge with the Hertz agent at collection 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 Coral Gables location
• Refuel within approximately 10 miles or 15 km 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 Hertz vehicle in Coral Gables 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 retail pump prices, plus a refuelling service fee.

Use the correct fuel type for your vehicle. Wrong-fuel incidents are not covered by the fuel policy and may generate additional charges. If you are unsure which fuel to use, check the hire agreement or ask the Hertz agent at the Coral Gables counter.

Yes, one-way hires are possible with Hertz in Coral Gables, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on your return location.

Here is how it works:

• If you return the Hertz vehicle to a different city or airport, a one-way drop-off fee is typically added. This fee varies by route, distance, vehicle class, and season.
• Same-city returns, such as collecting at the Coral Gables branch and returning to Miami International Airport, often carry no drop-off fee, but this depends on the specific route.
• Long-distance one-ways, such as Coral Gables to Orlando or another state, usually incur a drop-off fee.
• Cross-border one-ways, such as driving into another country, may be restricted or require special authorisation from Hertz.

When booking, the drop-off fee for your Hertz Coral Gables hire will be shown on the rate details page under the section labelled as charges due at destination. Review this before confirming your booking so there are no surprises at the counter.

If you need to change your return location after booking, contact support promptly, as mid-hire route changes must be approved by the partner and may increase the fee or affect availability.

If your flight is delayed and you cannot reach the Hertz counter in Coral Gables at your scheduled collection time, your reservation will generally be held for up to 24 hours from the original collection time, provided the branch is still open when you arrive.

Key points to keep in mind:

• If your delay is less than 24 hours, Hertz will hold your booking. Make sure you arrive during the branch’s operating hours at 370 South Dixie Highway in Coral Gables.
• If your delay exceeds 24 hours, contact Hola Car Rentals support as soon as possible via WhatsApp at +1 (786) 999-8312 or by email at [email protected]. Changes are not guaranteed but the team will assist where possible.
• After-hours collection options at the Coral Gables Hertz location are not confirmed in available information, so arriving during staffed hours is strongly recommended.

If you are flying into Miami International Airport and plan to collect at the Hertz branch in Coral Gables rather than at the airport location, allow approximately 20 to 30 minutes travel time between MIA and the Coral Gables address, depending on traffic on US 1 and surrounding roads.
