Will I face unexpected charges at the Hertz counter in Winnipeg when I book through Hola Car Rentals?
No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your booking in Winnipeg 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 Winnipeg 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)
Is there a Hertz counter at Winnipeg International Airport (YWG)?
No, there is no Hertz counter inside Winnipeg International Airport (YWG). Hertz operates off-airport locations in Winnipeg, with the primary site at 1577 Erin Street, near the city centre.
If you are arriving by plane at YWG, you will need to take a shuttle from the airport to reach the Hertz pickup location. When making your reservation, provide your flight details so that Hertz can account for any flight delays and apply a grace period of up to two hours if your arrival is late.
Additional Hertz locations in Winnipeg include:
- 670-1615 Regent Ave W, Unit 670 (east Winnipeg)
- 7-2140 McPhillips St (north Winnipeg)
Plan for approximately 30 to 60 minutes from the time you land to the time you are driving away, accounting for the shuttle ride, counter wait, and paperwork. Confirm exact shuttle pickup points and current hours directly with the Hertz Winnipeg location before your trip.
What documents do I need to pick up a Hertz hire car in Winnipeg?
To pick up your Hertz hire car in Winnipeg, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:
- A valid, original driver’s licence in the main driver’s name
- A major credit card with the driver’s name printed on the physical card, used for the authorisation hold
- A valid passport or government-issued photo ID
- Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
- Round-trip flight or travel tickets (required for visitors from outside Canada)
If your driver’s 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) alongside your original licence. The IDP is a translation only and is not valid without the original licence.
All documents must be physical originals. Digital or on-screen versions are not accepted at the Hertz Winnipeg counter. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the authorisation hold.
How much is the security deposit for a Hertz hire in Winnipeg?
When you pick up your Hertz hire car in Winnipeg, a temporary authorisation hold is placed on your credit card. This is not a charge; it reduces your available credit until the hold is released after you return the vehicle.
For Hertz hires in Canada, including Winnipeg, the typical hold is approximately GBP 200 to GBP 300 for standard vehicles. Some Winnipeg locations may require a minimum authorisation of around GBP 400, particularly for premium or larger vehicle classes.
To prepare for the deposit at the Hertz Winnipeg counter:
- Bring a major credit card with your name printed on the physical card
- Ensure you have sufficient available credit to cover the hold plus any expected charges
- Notify your bank of your travel plans to prevent the authorisation from being flagged
- Bring a backup credit card in case your primary card is declined
After you return the vehicle, the hold is released. Your bank controls how quickly it reappears on your available credit, which can take up to 15 business days.
Are there toll roads on Hertz hire routes in Winnipeg or Manitoba?
No, there are no toll roads, toll bridges, or toll express lanes anywhere in Manitoba, including in and around Winnipeg. Hertz customers driving in Winnipeg or anywhere else in the province will not encounter any toll booths, cashless toll gantries, or congestion charges.
Because Manitoba has no toll infrastructure, there is no need to enrol in a toll transponder programme, and you will not be billed for toll pass service fees during your Hertz hire in Winnipeg.
There are also no emissions zones or city-centre driving fees in Winnipeg similar to those found in some European cities.
If your travel plans take you beyond Manitoba into provinces or U.S. states that do have tolled roads, standard toll billing rules would apply in those areas. Keep receipts for any tolls paid during your Hertz hire, as Hola Car Rentals includes Tolls Cashback on all bookings, allowing you to claim up to 5% of your total booking value back for tolls paid.
What is the young driver surcharge for Hertz hires in Winnipeg?
Yes, a young driver surcharge applies to Hertz hires in Winnipeg for drivers between the ages of 20 and 24. The fee is GBP 12 per hire day plus applicable taxes, and it applies for the full duration of the hire.
The minimum hire age at Hertz in Winnipeg is 20 years. Drivers under 20 cannot hire a vehicle.
Key points to keep in mind:
- The surcharge is charged at the Hertz Winnipeg counter and is not included in your prepaid rate
- It applies to both the main driver and any additional driver who is under 25
- The surcharge is assessed for every day of the hire, not just the days the young driver operates the vehicle
- Some vehicle categories may have additional restrictions for young drivers at the Hertz Winnipeg location
If you are 25 or older, no young driver surcharge applies to your Hertz hire in Winnipeg.
How does the Tolls Cashback benefit work for a Hertz hire in Winnipeg?
All Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Hertz hires in Winnipeg, include Tolls Cashback. Since Manitoba has no toll roads, this benefit is most relevant if your Hertz Winnipeg hire takes you into other provinces or U.S. states where tolls do exist.
The benefit reimburses the lesser of the total tolls you paid or up to 5% of your total Hola Car Rentals booking value. For example, if your booking total is US$500, the maximum cashback is US$25.
To claim your Tolls Cashback after returning your Hertz vehicle in Winnipeg or elsewhere:
- 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 booking confirmation, the signed Hertz hire agreement, 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 your booking
Refunds are issued to your original payment method and typically process within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Submissions received after 30 days are not accepted.
Can I add an additional driver to my Hertz hire in Winnipeg?
Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Hertz hire in Winnipeg, either as part of your rate or by paying a fee at the counter.
For Hertz in Winnipeg, the additional driver fee is GBP 11 per hire day plus taxes, with a maximum charge of GBP 150 plus taxes for the full hire period. Check your booking confirmation first, as some Hola Car Rentals rates include one additional driver at no extra cost.
Requirements for adding a driver at the Hertz Winnipeg counter:
- The additional driver must be present at pickup with a valid, original driver’s licence
- They must meet the minimum hire age of 20 years
- If they are between 20 and 24, the young driver surcharge of GBP 12 per day also applies
- Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the hire agreement
Only drivers listed on the Hertz hire agreement in Winnipeg are covered by the vehicle's protections, including CDW/LDW and liability cover. Anyone who drives without being named on the contract is not covered, and charges may apply.
Can I return my Hertz hire car to a different location in Winnipeg or another city?
Yes, one-way hires are possible with Hertz in Winnipeg, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on your return location.
If you pick up your Hertz vehicle at one Winnipeg location (for example, 1577 Erin Street) and return it to a different Winnipeg location, a drop-off fee may or may not apply depending on the specific route. For returns to a different city or province, a one-way fee is typically charged.
Important things to know about one-way Hertz hires from Winnipeg:
- The drop-off fee is shown during the booking process under the "To pay at destination" section
- This fee cannot be prepaid and is paid directly at the Hertz counter
- Cross-border one-way hires (for example, Winnipeg to a U.S. city) may be restricted or carry higher fees; confirm with Hertz before booking
- Changing your return location after booking may reprice the hire and recalculate the drop-off fee
Always review your booking confirmation to verify whether a drop-off fee applies to your specific Hertz Winnipeg itinerary before you travel.
What insurance cover is included in a Hertz hire in Winnipeg?
When you hire with Hertz in Winnipeg through Hola Car Rentals, the cover included depends on the rate plan you selected. Here is a summary of the main protections to understand:
- Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): reduces your financial liability for damage to the Hertz vehicle from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation states zero deductible.
- Third-Party Liability: Canadian provincial law requires every hire vehicle to carry third-party liability cover by default. This is included when you hire in Winnipeg through Hola Car Rentals. You can purchase higher supplementary limits if desired.
CDW/LDW does not cover damage you cause to other vehicles or people (that is third-party liability), your personal injuries, or your belongings. It also does not cover prohibited use such as off-road driving or driving under the influence.
Review your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation for the exact coverages and deductible amounts included in your Hertz Winnipeg rate before you arrive at the counter.
What is the fuel policy for Hertz hires in Winnipeg?
Hertz hires in Winnipeg 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.
To avoid fuel charges on your Hertz Winnipeg hire:
- 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 at pickup
- Refuel within approximately 10 to 15 km of the Hertz return location in Winnipeg before dropping off the vehicle
- Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address
- For after-hours returns, leave the receipt in the key envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge
If you return the Hertz vehicle in Winnipeg 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 pump price, plus a refuelling service fee. Always refuel near the return location to avoid these charges.
Does Hertz in Winnipeg offer after-hours pickup or drop-off?
After-hours pickup and drop-off may be available at certain Hertz locations in Winnipeg, but you must arrange this in advance with the specific branch.
Hertz Winnipeg operates off-airport locations, and non-airport sites typically have more limited after-hours options than airport-linked counters. Key points to keep in mind:
- Contact the Hertz Winnipeg location directly before your hire to confirm whether after-hours service is available and what arrangements are required
- For after-hours drop-off, you will typically park in the designated Hertz area, note the return time on your hire agreement, and leave the keys and agreement in the drop box
- You remain financially responsible for the vehicle until Hertz staff check it in during the next business day
- Additional fees may apply for after-hours pickup arrangements
If your flight into Winnipeg is delayed, Hertz will generally hold your reservation for up to 24 hours from the original pickup time. For delays beyond 24 hours, contact Hola Car Rentals support as soon as possible to discuss your options.
Do I need an International Driving Permit to hire from Hertz in Winnipeg?
An International Driving Permit (IDP) is not always mandatory for hiring from Hertz in Winnipeg, but it is strongly recommended in certain situations.
In Canada, visitors can generally drive with a valid foreign licence. However, an IDP is required if your licence uses a non-Latin alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script. In that case, you must carry both your original licence and the IDP at all times.
Key points about the IDP for your Hertz Winnipeg hire:
- The IDP is a translation document only; it is not a standalone licence and will not be accepted without your original licence
- You must obtain the IDP in your home country before travelling to Winnipeg
- All documents presented at the Hertz Winnipeg counter must be physical originals; digital versions are not accepted
- Even if an IDP is not strictly required, carrying one alongside your foreign licence can help avoid any issues at the counter
If you are unsure whether your licence requires an IDP for your Hertz hire in Winnipeg, obtain one before departure to be safe.
Does Travel Assistance apply to my Hertz hire in Winnipeg?
Travel Assistance is included with most Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Hertz hires in Winnipeg. However, this benefit does not apply to Canadian or U.S. residents; it is available only to travellers from outside North America.
If you qualify, Travel Assistance is provided by Terrawind Global Protection and covers scenarios such as a medical emergency during your Hertz hire in Winnipeg, a road incident requiring legal assistance, or luggage lost by your airline on the way to Winnipeg.
