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

This means you will not need a transponder, a toll pass, or any toll programme offered at the rental counter. Toll-related add-ons sold by rental brands such as daily transponder packages are simply not applicable to minivan rentals in Manitoba.

If your road trip takes you beyond Manitoba into provinces that do have tolls, such as Ontario's Highway 407 ETR, those charges would apply for that portion of your journey. In that case, the Tolls Cashback benefit included with your booking can help offset costs.

After collecting your luggage, follow the car hire signs inside the terminal towards the rental counter area. Some brands may require a short walk or shuttle transfer to an off-terminal lot, so check your booking confirmation for the specific brand instructions.

For your minivan pickup in Manitoba, bring all required documents: your physical driver’s licence, a major credit card in the main driver’s name with the name printed on the card, your passport, and your booking confirmation. If your licence uses a non-Latin alphabet such as Arabic, Chinese, or Cyrillic, you must also carry an International Driving Permit alongside the original licence.

• A valid, original driver’s licence in the main driver’s name
• A 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 if it is in Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory alongside your original licence. For licences in other non-English scripts, an IDP is strongly recommended. The IDP is a translation only and is never valid without the original licence.

All documents must be physical. Digital copies shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted at the minivan hire counter in Manitoba.

Since Manitoba itself has no toll roads, you would only accumulate toll charges if your journey takes you outside the province, for example onto Ontario's Highway 407 ETR or other tolled routes in Canada.

To claim your cashback, email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the minivan. Include your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation, a copy of the signed hire agreement, and a receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid. The refund covers the lesser of your actual toll costs or up to 5% of your total booking value, and is returned to your original payment method within 7 to 10 business days after approval.

This is not a charge. It is a temporary reduction in your available credit that is released after you return the minivan, provided all rental agreement terms are met. Your bank controls how quickly the hold disappears from your statement, and it can take up to 15 business days after release.

Important requirements for the deposit on your Manitoba minivan rental:

• The credit card must be a major credit card, not a debit or prepaid card
• The card must be in the main driver’s name with the name physically printed on the card
• Digital wallets and virtual card numbers are not accepted

Bring a backup credit card in case your primary card is declined at the counter.

• Drivers aged 18 to 20: approximately US$19.99 per day plus applicable taxes
• Drivers aged 21 to 24: approximately US$14.99 per day plus applicable taxes

These surcharges are paid at the hire desk in Manitoba and are not included in your prepaid rate. The minimum age to hire a minivan in Manitoba varies by provider, with most requiring renters to be at least 21, though some brands may accept drivers from age 18 with the applicable surcharge.

If you are adding a young driver as an additional driver to your Manitoba minivan hire, they must be present at pickup with a valid driver’s licence and will also be subject to the young driver surcharge. Always confirm the exact age policy with the hire brand shown on your confirmation, as rules can differ between Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Alamo, and other partners.

Steps to follow for your Manitoba minivan hire:

• At pickup, check the fuel gauge with the agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on the hire agreement
• Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and fuel gauge
• Use the correct fuel type as indicated in the vehicle, typically regular unleaded petrol for a minivan
• Refuel within approximately 15 km of the return location before dropping off the minivan
• Keep your final fuel receipt as proof in case of any dispute

If you return the minivan in Manitoba with less than a full tank, the hire partner may charge you for the fuel shortfall at their own refuelling rate, which is typically higher than pump prices, plus a refuelling service fee. Returning the minivan full is always the most cost-effective option.

If you are visiting Manitoba from outside North America and something goes wrong during your minivan hire, such as a medical emergency on a remote Manitoba highway or a serious accident far from Winnipeg, this coverage can help with:

• Medical coverage for up to 5 passengers
• Legal assistance in the event of an accident
• Compensation for luggage lost by the airline
• Flight cancellation insurance

To reach assistance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 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.

This coverage does not replace Collision Damage Waiver (CDW)/Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) for damage to the minivan itself, nor does it cover third-party liability. Check your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your Manitoba minivan hire.

Brands with locations across Manitoba, including Enterprise and local providers, offer one-way options between select cities. However, availability and fees vary by route, season, and vehicle class. A minivan is a larger vehicle category, so repositioning fees may be higher than for a standard car.

How to check and book a one-way minivan hire in Manitoba:

• Enter different pickup and drop-off locations during your search on the Hola Car Rentals website
• Any applicable drop-off fee will appear on the rate details page under the section labelled as charges due at destination
• Review your booking confirmation to confirm the fee before travel

Cross-border one-way hires, for example picking up in Manitoba and dropping off in a US state, may be restricted or carry significantly higher fees. Always confirm cross-border permissions with the hire brand shown on your confirmation.

Manitoba's highway network is monitored via the provincial 511 road conditions service, and driving conditions can change rapidly. A minivan on standard all-season tyres can handle typical Manitoba winter roads with caution, but winter tyres provide significantly better traction on snow-covered and icy surfaces.

To confirm whether your minivan hire in Manitoba comes equipped with winter tyres:

• Contact the hire brand directly using the number on your booking confirmation before your trip
• Ask specifically about the tyre type fitted to the minivan class you have reserved
• Note that tyre type is not typically guaranteed in advance and may vary by fleet availability

If winter tyres are important for your Manitoba minivan hire, booking with a local provider that explicitly offers them may give you more certainty.

For third-party liability, Canadian provincial law requires every hire vehicle to carry a minimum level of third-party liability insurance by default. This statutory liability is included when you hire a minivan in Manitoba. You can also purchase higher supplementary liability limits (LIS/ALI/SLI) if you want additional protection against claims from other parties.

What CDW/LDW does not cover for your Manitoba minivan hire:

• Injuries to third parties or damage to their property (covered by liability insurance)
• Your own personal injuries (covered by PAI if purchased)
• Your personal belongings inside the minivan (covered by PEC if purchased)
• Damage from prohibited use such as off-road driving or driving under the influence

Always review the hire agreement at the counter to confirm exactly which coverages are active on your Manitoba minivan hire before driving away.

If your booking confirmation states that an additional driver is included, the first extra driver is added at no cost. If it is not included, the daily fee varies by brand:

• Avis, Budget, and Payless: approximately GBP 10 per day plus taxes, capped at GBP 50 plus taxes
• Hertz, Thrifty, and Dollar: approximately GBP 11 per day plus taxes, capped at GBP 150 plus taxes
• Alamo, National, and Enterprise: approximately GBP 12 per day plus taxes

Requirements for adding a driver to your Manitoba minivan hire:

• The additional driver must be present at the pickup counter in Manitoba
• They must present a valid driver’s licence and any required ID
• They must sign the hire agreement
• They must meet the minimum age requirements, and a young driver surcharge may apply if they are under 25

Only drivers listed on the hire agreement are covered by CDW/LDW and liability protections. Never allow an unlisted person to drive the minivan.

If you know in advance that you need more time with your Manitoba minivan, it is best to request an extension before the original return time. Contact the hire branch directly using the number on your hire agreement, or reach out to Hola Car Rentals support to assist with the request. Extensions are subject to availability and may reprice the hire.

Key points for your Manitoba minivan return:

• The 30-minute grace period is not guaranteed by all brands and should not be relied upon
• Returning the minivan late without prior approval can result in significant extra charges
• After-hours returns are possible at some Manitoba locations, but confirm key-drop procedures with the branch in advance
• Refuel the minivan before returning it to avoid fuel shortfall charges on top of any late fees
