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

Your minivan hire at Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR) is collected from the Rental Car Centre located at 1097 Jetport Road, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577. This facility is a short walk directly from the terminal, so no shuttle or train is required.

All major brands offering minivan hires in Myrtle Beach share this consolidated centre, including Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, and National. After landing, the process typically proceeds as follows:

• Disembark and walk to baggage claim (10 to 15 minutes)
• Collect your luggage (10 to 20 minutes)
• Walk across to the Rental Car Centre and present your documents at the counter (5 to 10 minutes)
• Complete paperwork and inspect your minivan (10 to 15 minutes)

Allow for 30 to 60 minutes in total from landing to driving away. Counter hours are generous: Budget operates from 7 AM to 12:30 AM daily and Enterprise from 7 AM to 11:45 PM daily, making late-night minivan pickups in Myrtle Beach straightforward.

To collect your minivan hire in Myrtle Beach, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:

• A valid, original driving licence (physical copy only; digital licences are not accepted)
• A major credit card with your name printed on it, in the main driver’s name, for the authorisation hold
• A passport or valid government-issued photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets (required for international visitors)

If your driving licence is not in English and does not use a Latin (Roman) alphabet, for example Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory. For other non-English licences, an IDP is strongly recommended. The IDP is a translation only and must be carried alongside your original licence.

All documents must be physical originals. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security authorisation hold on your Myrtle Beach minivan hire.

Yes, a major credit card is required to hire a minivan in Myrtle Beach. The card must be a physical card with your name printed on it, held in the main driver’s name, and must have sufficient available credit to cover the authorisation hold.

At most Myrtle Beach locations, the typical hold for a standard vehicle is around US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount varies by rental brand, vehicle class, and season. Minivans may carry a slightly higher hold than economy cars.

• Debit cards are not accepted for the security authorisation hold
• Prepaid or virtual cards are not accepted
• Digital wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay) are not accepted for the deposit
• Someone else’s card cannot be used; the card must belong to the main driver

Even if you prepaid your minivan hire online in Myrtle Beach, you must still present a physical credit card at the counter. Bringing a backup credit card is always advisable in case your primary card is declined.

South Carolina has one primary toll road: the Southern Connector on Interstate 185, connecting to I-385 over 16 miles near Greenville. If you drive your Myrtle Beach minivan hire towards that region, tolls will apply. The Southern Connector uses the PalPass (Palmetto Pass) electronic system, and costs range from approximately US$0.075 to US$3.00 depending on distance travelled.

Rental companies at Myrtle Beach offer optional electronic toll programmes such as e-Toll, TollPass, or PlatePass, typically priced at US$3.95 to US$4.95 per day, capped at around US$19.75 per hire period, plus the actual toll charges.

If you do not enrol in a toll programme and drive through a cashless toll lane, the rental company will bill you via a Toll-By-Plate process:

• Tolls are charged at the highest undiscounted rate
• Administrative fees of approximately US$15 per toll apply
• Total fees are typically capped at around US$90 per hire

Toll charges often appear on your card several weeks after the hire ends. To avoid surprises, ask about the toll programme at the Myrtle Beach counter when collecting your minivan.

Yes, all bookings include Tolls Cashback, which allows you to recover up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your Myrtle Beach minivan hire.

If you drive towards the Southern Connector on I-185 or any other tolled road during your trip, you can submit a claim after returning the vehicle. The refund covers the lesser of your actual toll costs or 5% of your booking total. For example, if your booking totals US$600, the cap is US$30.

To claim your Tolls Cashback after your Myrtle Beach minivan hire:

• 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 confirmation, the signed hire agreement, and a toll receipt or statement showing charges paid

Refunds are issued to the original payment method and typically process within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Late submissions received after 30 days are not accepted.

The minimum age to hire a minivan in Myrtle Beach is 25. Minivans fall into a restricted vehicle class, meaning drivers aged 21 to 24 are generally not eligible to hire this category in Myrtle Beach, regardless of the rental brand.

South Carolina is not one of the states (such as New York or Michigan) that legally requires rental companies to hire to drivers aged 18 and older. The standard rules are:

• Drivers must be at least 25 to hire a minivan in Myrtle Beach without restrictions
• Drivers aged 21 to 24 may hire smaller vehicle classes but are typically excluded from minivans, vans, and other restricted categories
• A young-driver surcharge applies to drivers under 25 on eligible vehicle classes

If you are under 25 and need to transport a large group in Myrtle Beach, consider booking a full-size SUV or standard SUV instead, as those classes may be available to younger renters depending on the brand and location. Confirm eligibility before booking.

Your Myrtle Beach minivan hire operates under a Full-to-Full fuel policy. You receive the minivan with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.

• At collection, 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
• Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address

When returning your minivan in Myrtle Beach, refuel within approximately 10 miles of the return location at the Rental Car Centre on Jetport Road. There is a credit-card-only fuel station in the economy parking lot across from the facility, which is a short walk away and a convenient option before dropping off the vehicle.

If you return the minivan below the recorded starting level, the hire company 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 tank full is always the most cost-effective approach.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your minivan hire in Myrtle Beach, but the additional driver must be present at the counter during collection with their own valid driving licence.

Whether the additional driver is included or costs extra depends on your rate:

• Some rates include one additional driver at no extra cost; check your booking confirmation for the line "Additional driver free of charge"
• If not included, fees vary by brand: Alamo, National, and Enterprise charge approximately US$15 per day; Avis, Budget, and Payless charge approximately US$13 per day (capped at US$65); Hertz, Dollar, and Thrifty charge approximately US$13.50 per day (capped at US$189)

For Avis, Budget, and Payless, additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old. Since minivans are a restricted vehicle class in Myrtle Beach, confirm age eligibility for additional drivers when you arrive at the counter.

Only drivers listed on the hire agreement are covered by the vehicle’s protections. Anyone not named on the contract who drives the minivan in Myrtle Beach may void coverage entirely.

Yes, most bookings include travel assistance through Terrawind Global Protection, which can be valuable if something goes wrong during your Myrtle Beach minivan hire, such as a breakdown on a motorway, a medical emergency, or a flight cancellation on your way in or out.

Core benefits typically include:

• Travel and medical cover for up to 5 passengers
• Legal assistance in the event of an accident
• Compensation for luggage lost by the airline
• Flight cancellation insurance

This cover does not apply to damage to the minivan itself (that is handled by CDW/LDW) or to injuries caused to third parties (covered by liability insurance). Pre-existing medical conditions are also excluded.

Important: this benefit does not apply to customers who are residents of the United States or Canada. If you qualify, contact the assistance line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at +1 888 980 9992 or via WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Always call before incurring medical expenses, as prior authorisation may be required for reimbursement.

Check your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your Myrtle Beach minivan hire.

No, the specific minivan model is not guaranteed for your Myrtle Beach hire. Rental companies guarantee the vehicle class (minivan), not the exact model within that class.

For example, you may book expecting a Chrysler Pacifica, which is the most commonly available minivan model in Myrtle Beach, but the counter may substitute it with another minivan of equivalent size and passenger capacity if the exact model is unavailable.

This is standard practice across all partner brands at the Myrtle Beach Rental Car Centre, including Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, and National. What is guaranteed is that you will receive a vehicle in the minivan class with the same seating capacity and general specifications.

If you have specific requirements for your Myrtle Beach minivan hire, such as a particular seating configuration or built-in features, contact the rental brand directly after booking to note your preference, though fulfilment cannot be guaranteed.

When collecting your minivan hire in Myrtle Beach, the counter will offer several insurance and protection options. Understanding what each covers helps you avoid paying for duplicates or leaving gaps.

• Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): reduces your financial liability for damage to the minivan itself from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation shows zero excess.
• Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI): covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to other people or vehicles while driving the minivan in Myrtle Beach. Some U.S. states require a minimum level of liability, but not all; South Carolina renters should confirm what is included in their rate.

CDW/LDW and liability cover are separate products. CDW/LDW does not cover damage you cause to others, and liability cover does not cover damage to the minivan you are driving.

Neither cover includes your personal belongings or your own medical costs. Check your booking confirmation to see which protections are already included in your Myrtle Beach minivan hire rate before accepting add-ons at the counter.

Yes, after-hours returns are available at the Myrtle Beach Rental Car Centre on Jetport Road. Key drop facilities are confirmed at the centre, allowing you to return your minivan outside of staffed counter hours.

To return your Myrtle Beach minivan hire after hours:

• Drive to the Rental Car Centre at 1097 Jetport Road and follow signs for your rental brand's return lane
• Refuel before arriving; the credit-card-only fuel station in the economy parking lot across from the centre is accessible after hours
• Take photos of the minivan's condition, the fuel gauge, and the odometer before leaving the vehicle
• Place your keys in the designated key drop box for your brand
• Keep a copy of your hire agreement and any fuel receipts

Note that when you drop off after hours, the vehicle is not formally inspected until the next business day. Any damage noted at that inspection may be attributed to your hire period, so documenting the minivan's condition with timestamped photos at the time of return in Myrtle Beach is strongly recommended.

Yes, one-way minivan hires are possible in Myrtle Beach, but a drop-off fee typically applies when you return the vehicle to a different location than where you collected it.

The drop-off fee varies depending on the route, the rental brand, the season, and the vehicle class. Minivans, as a larger vehicle category, may carry higher repositioning fees than economy cars on the same route.

• The fee is shown during the booking process under the "To pay at destination" section
• It is not included in prepaid rates and cannot be covered by No Extra Charges© Coverage unless it was not disclosed at booking
• Cross-state one-way hires from Myrtle Beach are generally permitted but confirm with your specific brand

If no drop-off fee appears during checkout for your chosen route, no fee applies for that specific minivan one-way hire from Myrtle Beach. Always review your booking confirmation to verify what is due at the counter before collection.
