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

To pick up a minivan hire in Norfolk, you must bring the following physical documents to 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 (debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the excess)
• A passport or valid government 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 (Roman) alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory. For all 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. Digital copies shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted at the Norfolk minivan hire counter.

Yes, a major credit card is required to hire a minivan in Norfolk. The card must be in the main driver's name with the driver's name physically printed on the card, and it must be presented in person at the counter.

The hire partner will place a temporary authorisation hold on your card at pickup. For a minivan in Norfolk, this hold is typically in the range of GBP 300 to GBP 400, though the exact amount depends on the rental company, location, and season. The hold reduces your available credit until it is released after you return the vehicle, which can take up to 15 working days depending on your bank.

• Debit cards are not accepted for the security deposit
• Prepaid or virtual cards are not accepted
• The card must belong to the main driver, not a third party

Even if you prepaid your Norfolk minivan booking online, you must still present a physical credit card at the counter for the hold. Bringing a backup credit card is always a good idea in case your primary card is declined.

Virginia uses E-ZPass as its primary electronic toll system, and you will likely encounter toll roads when driving your minivan hire in and around Norfolk. Key routes to be aware of include:

• Chesapeake Expressway (16 miles): US$4.00 for standard 2-axle vehicles, US$5.00 for 4-axle vehicles
• Powhite Parkway: US$0.75 for 2-axle vehicles, US$1.25 for 4-axle vehicles
• Pocahontas Parkway: US$4.85 for 2-axle vehicles

Because a minivan is typically classified as a larger vehicle, confirm the axle count with the hire partner at pickup, as some toll rates are higher for vehicles with more axles.

Your Norfolk minivan hire vehicle will include an electronic toll device. At the counter you can choose an unlimited toll package, which typically costs between US$11 and US$25 per day depending on the hire company, or you can pay per use. If you opt out, the hire company will charge you the actual toll amounts plus administrative processing fees after the hire ends.

If you miss a toll without enrolling in a programme, a violation notice may be issued by the Virginia Department of Transportation.

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

Given that Virginia uses E-ZPass and routes around Norfolk such as the Chesapeake Expressway can add up quickly, this benefit can meaningfully offset your toll costs.

To claim your cashback after returning the minivan in Norfolk:

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

The refund is issued to the same payment method used for your booking and typically processes within 7 to 10 working days after approval. Claims submitted after 30 days are not accepted. This benefit does not mean tolls are included in your booking; you still pay tolls normally and claim reimbursement afterwards.

To hire a minivan in Norfolk, you must be at least 25 years old. Minivans fall under the restricted vehicle categories that most hire partners in the United Kingdom reserve for drivers aged 25 and above, alongside full-size SUVs, vans, luxury, and premium vehicles.

Drivers aged 21 to 24 are generally not eligible to hire a minivan in Norfolk, even with a young-driver surcharge. Virginia is not New York or Michigan, where state law requires hire companies to serve drivers aged 18 and older.

• Minimum age for a Norfolk minivan hire: 25
• Young-driver surcharges (ages 21 to 24) do not unlock minivan availability in most cases
• A valid driver's licence and a major credit card in the main driver's name are still required regardless of age

If you are between 21 and 24 and need a larger vehicle for your group in Norfolk, consider booking an intermediate or standard SUV instead, as those classes are more commonly available to younger renters. Contact customer service via WhatsApp at +1 786 999 8312 if you are unsure about eligibility for a specific vehicle class.

Your Norfolk minivan hire uses a Full-to-Full fuel policy. 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 agent and make sure the starting level is recorded on the hire agreement. Take a photo of the dashboard showing both the odometer and the fuel gauge before leaving the lot.

When returning the minivan in Norfolk, refuel within approximately 10 miles or 15 kilometres of the return location so the gauge does not drop below full before you arrive. Keep your final fuel receipt showing the station address, date, and time.

• Returning below full may result in a fuel shortfall charge at the partner's refuelling rate, which is typically higher than the pump price, plus a service fee
• Use the correct fuel type for the minivan; wrong-fuel incidents are not covered by the fuel policy
• For after-hours returns, leave the receipt in the key envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge

Some Norfolk counter locations may offer a prepaid fuel option at pickup. If you accept it, any unused fuel is typically non-refundable, so the Full-to-Full approach is usually the better value.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your minivan hire in Norfolk, either at no cost if your rate includes it or for a daily fee paid at the counter.

Check your booking confirmation for the line that reads "Additional driver free of charge." If it is not listed, the following daily fees typically apply at Norfolk hire counters:

• Avis, Budget, and Payless: GBP 13 per hire day, capped at GBP 65 (plus taxes)
• Hertz, Thrifty, and Dollar: GBP 13.50 per hire day, capped at GBP 189 (plus taxes)
• Alamo, National, and Enterprise: GBP 15 per day (plus taxes)

The additional driver must be present at the Norfolk pickup counter with a valid driver's licence. If their licence is not in English or uses a non-Latin alphabet, they will also need an International Driving Permit. Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the hire agreement before leaving the lot.

Only drivers listed on the agreement are covered by the minivan's protections such as CDW and liability cover. Anyone who drives the Norfolk minivan without being named on the contract may void those protections.
