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

Minivan availability in New Hampshire is more limited at Pease Airport (PSM) in Portsmouth than at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT). At PSM, Enterprise is the primary brand operating on-site and offers vans as part of its fleet.

If you need a wider selection of minivan options in New Hampshire, MHT provides a consolidated hire car facility with multiple brands including Alamo, Hertz, Budget, National, Avis, Thrifty, and Enterprise, all of which carry minivans and passenger vans. Common models available across New Hampshire locations include 12-passenger vans such as the Ford Transit and 15-passenger vans.

When booking a minivan in New Hampshire, airport locations generally hold the largest inventory, so reserving in advance is strongly recommended, especially during peak travel periods when availability can drop quickly.

If you are picking up a minivan in New Hampshire at Pease Airport (PSM) in Portsmouth, the Enterprise counter operates on limited hours that vary by day. Known operating windows include Sunday from 11:00 AM to 6:30 PM, Monday from approximately 6:30 AM to 7:00 PM, and Thursday from approximately 6:15 AM to 6:30 PM. Hours on other days follow a similar pattern but can shift, so confirming directly with the counter before your arrival is important.

Unlike Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT), PSM does not have extended late-night service or a consolidated hire car centre with multiple brands. If your flight arrives outside the Enterprise operating window, your minivan pickup in New Hampshire may need to be rescheduled or redirected to MHT, which offers broader hours and after-hours return options.

Always check your booking confirmation for the most current counter hours and any after-hours instructions specific to your reservation.

To pick up a minivan hire in New Hampshire, 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 card, used for the authorisation hold
• A passport or valid government-issued photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher if required by the partner brand
• 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 (Roman) alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory alongside your original licence. For licences in English or using a Latin alphabet, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required for hiring a minivan in New Hampshire.

All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies or photos on a phone are not accepted at the counter. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the authorisation hold.

New Hampshire has several active toll roads that minivan renters will likely encounter, depending on their route:

• Blue Star Turnpike (I-95, Seabrook to Portsmouth): up to US$2.00 per pass, or US$1.40 with E-ZPass
• F.E. Everett Turnpike (I-93/293, Nashua to Concord): up to US$1.00 per pass, or US$0.70 with E-ZPass
• Spaulding Turnpike (NH 16, Portsmouth to Rochester): also uses E-ZPass

New Hampshire toll plazas accept both E-ZPass and cash. However, hire minivans come equipped with an electronic toll device. If you drive through an E-ZPass lane, you will be automatically enrolled in the hire company's toll programme, which adds a daily administrative fee on top of the actual toll charges. For example, Budget's e-Toll programme charges US$6.95 per day plus tolls, and Enterprise TollPass charges US$4.95 per day (capped at US$34.65 per hire) plus tolls.

To avoid programme fees entirely, use cash lanes at New Hampshire toll plazas. You can also use the official toll calculator at ezpassnh.com/toll-rate-calculator to estimate costs for your specific minivan route in New Hampshire before you travel.

When picking up a minivan hire in New Hampshire, the hire partner will place a temporary authorisation hold on your credit card at the counter. For standard vehicles in the United States, this hold is typically around US$300 to US$400, but minivans and larger passenger vans may carry a higher hold amount due to their vehicle class.

The hold is not a charge. It temporarily reduces your available credit and is released after you return the minivan, provided all hire agreement terms are met. Your bank controls how quickly the hold disappears from your statement, which can take up to 15 business days after the hire concludes.

• Only a physical, major credit card in the main driver’s name is accepted for the deposit
• Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted
• Bring a backup credit card in case your primary card is declined

If you are hiring a minivan in New Hampshire and are unsure of the exact hold amount for your vehicle class, ask the counter agent to confirm the authorisation before they process your card.

Yes, all Hola Car Rentals bookings include Tolls Cashback, which means you can get up to 5% of your total booking value reimbursed for tolls paid during your minivan hire in New Hampshire.

New Hampshire has several toll roads where charges can add up, including the Blue Star Turnpike on I-95 near Portsmouth, the F.E. Everett Turnpike on I-93/293, and the Spaulding Turnpike on NH 16. Any tolls you pay on these roads during your minivan hire in New Hampshire are eligible for the cashback claim.

To claim your reimbursement:

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

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

Yes, drivers under 25 years old are subject to a young-renter surcharge when hiring a minivan in New Hampshire, and minivans are specifically listed as a restricted vehicle class for drivers aged 21 to 24.

In most U.S. states, including New Hampshire, the minimum age to hire without a surcharge is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can hire but will pay a daily underage fee that varies by brand:

• Avis, Budget, and Payless: US$13 per hire day, capped at US$65
• Hertz, Thrifty, and Dollar: US$13.50 per hire day, capped at US$189
• Alamo, National, and Enterprise: US$15 per day

Because minivans fall under a restricted vehicle class, drivers under 25 may be denied a minivan hire in New Hampshire regardless of the surcharge. Economy, compact, and standard saloon categories are typically the only classes available to under-25 renters. If you are between 21 and 24 and specifically need a minivan in New Hampshire, contact the hire brand directly before booking to confirm availability for your age group.

When hiring a minivan in New Hampshire, two main types of cover are worth understanding before you arrive at the counter.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) reduces your financial liability if the minivan is damaged or stolen during your hire. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation explicitly states zero. CDW/LDW does 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 the minivan in New Hampshire. Some U.S. states require hire companies to include a state-minimum liability amount, but not all do. Hola Car Rentals strongly recommends adding Liability Insurance Supplementary (up to US$300,000) to your minivan hire for full protection.

• CDW/LDW covers the hire minivan itself
• LIS/ALI/SLI covers third parties you may injure or whose property you may damage
• Neither covers your personal belongings or your own medical costs

Review your booking confirmation to see which covers are already included in your New Hampshire minivan rate before deciding whether to add anything at the counter.

Minivan hires in New Hampshire follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy by default. This means you receive the minivan with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.

At pickup, check the fuel gauge with the counter agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on your hire agreement. Take a photo of the dashboard showing both the odometer and the fuel gauge before leaving the lot.

When returning your minivan in New Hampshire:

• Refuel within approximately 10 miles or 15 kilometres of the return location so the gauge does not drop before you arrive
• Keep the fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address
• Take a photo of the full gauge at the station as backup evidence

If you return the minivan below the recorded starting level, the hire partner may charge you for the fuel shortfall at their own refuelling rate, which is typically higher than pump prices, plus a service fee. For after-hours returns at locations like MHT, leave your receipt in the key envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge for your records.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your minivan hire in New Hampshire, either as an included benefit or for a daily fee depending on your rate.

Check your booking confirmation first. If it states additional driver free of charge, the first extra driver is covered at no cost. If it is not included, the daily fees by brand are:

• Avis, Budget, and Payless: US$13 per day, capped at US$65
• Hertz, Thrifty, and Dollar: US$13.50 per day, capped at US$189
• Alamo, National, and Enterprise: US$15 per day

The additional driver must be present at the counter when you pick up the minivan in New Hampshire. They must bring their own valid driver’s licence and, if required, an International Driving Permit. 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 such as CDW/LDW.

Note that for Avis, Budget, and Payless, additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old at the time of pickup.

If you drive your minivan through an E-ZPass lane in New Hampshire without enrolling in the hire company's toll programme, you will be automatically enrolled and charged accordingly.

Hire minivans in New Hampshire come equipped with an electronic toll device. Passing through an E-ZPass lane triggers automatic enrolment in the brand's pay-per-use toll programme, which adds a daily administrative fee on top of the actual toll amount. For example, Budget's e-Toll programme charges US$6.95 per day plus tolls, and Enterprise TollPass charges US$4.95 per day (capped at US$34.65 per hire) plus tolls on days you use a toll road.

To avoid these fees when hiring a minivan in New Hampshire:

• Use cash lanes at toll plazas on the Blue Star Turnpike, F.E. Everett Turnpike, or Spaulding Turnpike
• Or enrol in the toll programme at pickup if you plan to use E-ZPass lanes regularly, so you know the cost upfront

Toll charges from your New Hampshire minivan hire may also appear on your card days or weeks after you return the vehicle, as toll agencies process invoices in batches.

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

If you are eligible, the travel assistance included with your New Hampshire minivan hire typically covers:

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

This is particularly useful if you experience a breakdown or medical situation while driving through more remote areas of New Hampshire, where distances to hospitals or service centres can be significant. If you need assistance, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day at +1 888 980 9992 or via WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call.

Travel assistance does not cover damage to the minivan itself (that is CDW/LDW) or liability to third parties (that is LIS/ALI/SLI). Check your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your reservation.

Yes, after-hours return options are available for minivan hire in New Hampshire, but they depend on which airport and brand you are using.

At Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT), several brands including National offer after-hours return programmes such as Drop and Go, where you leave the minivan at the hire car facility and drop the keys as instructed. MHT is well-lit and accessible for late-night returns.

At Pease Airport (PSM) in Portsmouth, after-hours return options are more limited. The Enterprise counter operates on restricted hours, so if your minivan return falls outside those windows, you should confirm after-hours key drop procedures directly with Enterprise before your hire begins.

For any after-hours minivan return in New Hampshire:

• Refuel before arriving at the return location and keep your receipt
• Take a photo of the fuel gauge showing a full tank
• Follow the key drop instructions on your hire agreement
• Note that liability for the minivan may remain with you until the branch formally checks it in the next business day

Always review your hire agreement for the specific after-hours instructions provided by your partner brand in New Hampshire.
