"I was a little hesistant before booking as Hola literally quoted me half of what the car rental company was giving me which made me a little suspicious but I went to Avis at LAS airport and the entire process was smooth. I have already booked two more trips through Hola.
Thank you :)"

"I had a very positive experience with Hola Car Rentals. The booking process was clear, transparent, and easy to navigate, making it simple to find the right rental option.
What impressed me the most was the customer support. Whenever I had questions, the response time was very fast, and the team was always helpful and professional. Any issues or concerns were handled efficiently and in a customer-friendly manner, which gave me great confidence throughout the rental process.

"Trust these reviews and put your trust in Hola Car Rentals. Not only , in my experience, did they provide very good quotes on my rental car from Chicago O'Hare (AVIS), indeed it was all inclusive with no unexpected surprises when I collected the car. For some reason, I incurred a charge from AVIS (Tank of gas), which was sorted and all, but Hola rental car were quick to support and help arrange my refund. Brilliant company and I would 100% use them again"

"The third party rental car company charged us after returning the car for additional services that we hadn't agreed to. Hola's service team went above and beyond to help us get a refund for these charges.
It’s exemplary for a car rental broker to stand up for its customers like this. We’re grateful and will always book through Hola in the future. Not just because they have very affordable deals and great value for money, but above all because they’re there for their customers! Benchmark!"

Daniel Woods
"Hola Car rentals can’t be faulted. The pricing for an Avis car rental was significantly lower than from the actual Avis rental site. At first I was honestly nervous about booking, but not issue could be found in the entire process.
If booking through Hola, ensure you take the confirmation paperwork with you to provide to the rental car company. Avis’ system didn’t register the additional driver but the confirmation email was used and they added the extra driver saving hundreds.
Toll refunds are swift and instructions can be given using the WhatsApp AI chat bot.
Collection location was Avis LAX
Will be using Hola again"

Keith Semple
"Wow! My first booking with Hola didn’t just meet expectations — they absolutely exceeded them in every possible way. So much so, that I made another rental booking immediately. I’m not usually someone who takes the time to write reviews, but this experience was so exceptional that I felt compelled to share it.
At first, I thought I had secured a great price — but when I carefully reviewed the list of inclusions, I was genuinely blown away. In fact, it almost seemed too good to be true. I found myself double- and triple-checking my bookings, convinced there must have been some sort of system error. But no — everything was exactly as promised, and more - with NO extra cost.
What truly stood out was the reaction from others. When I shared the pricing and inclusions with the Avis desk at the airport, hotel staff, as well as family and friends, they were equally astonished. Several even asked for your details on the spot — which says everything about the incredible value and service you provide.
One thing worthy of note. Avis offered upgrades which I refused on the grounds that it might change the underlying agreement and result in added costs - be careful of adding extras at the point of collection. Regardless, the vehicles reserved were excellent.
You have now become my absolute first choice — my go-to destination for rentals without hesitation. Experiences like this are rare, and you’ve set a new benchmark for excellence.
Please keep up the outstanding work — you’ve gained a loyal customer for life."

"The WhatsApp service is excellent and personalized. When you arrive at the rental agency, they try to sell you a bunch of extras that are already included, but when you show them you booked through Hola, they don't offer anything else; they just give you the vehicle and you don't pay anything. Renting a car through them is a guarantee."

차Mihye
"As a Korean, I used the app to rent a car in California. The Dollar Rent-a-Car employee at the San Francisco branch was rude and insisted I purchase additional insurance ($25 per day) because the insurance I purchased through the Hola app was inadequate. However, Hola insisted that the full coverage policy applied and helped me cancel the additional insurance I had purchased at the Dollar Rent-a-Car location. I'm satisfied with Hola's customer service, but I think the Dollar Rent-a-Car employee's practice of selling additional insurance needs to be addressed."

"Very easy to book
Very easy to pay
And the best deal I could find by quite a long way
Added price of mind was the 4.8 stars on trust pilot with 3000+ ratings"
Bill Harshbarger
"I really liked the reservation screen for pickup times...side by side let's you easy match pick-up drop off.
The vehicles were the best price (discounted prices for European travelers in the US at thus writing), otherwise rental car prices are rather high these days.
Insurance is about peace of mind. Hola is over the top covering many of those extras the agent wants you to buy.
And toll coverage up to 5%. Super. Without human attendants anymore, it's complicated in the Bay Area and particularly expensive in Miami (!) Auto companies see it as an opportunity to sell you lots of Toll coverage.
Finally, what I did not notice was, "not knowing what I was renting" which is often noticed just before you press 'book'. The question did not enter my mind, that's a good thing.
Their AI agent, perfectly better. Very good advice.
And I did have the need to cancel and rebook. With the app, effective and bug free. One refund was credited in a hour. Another may take a few days, but will post. Also the app will display prices in the currency you select.
Looking forward to booking with Hola again"
Dwight Thompson
"The experience was excellent, fast and easy with the least effort required to chose a car. From past experience the counter experience was favourable at Budget Miami Airport with no issues. This was the first time an agent at a rental desk did not try to sell me additional insurance or toll pass.
My only concerns for this booking was the price gap was too high for standard cars compared to the basic cars."
Jason Bishop
"Excellent all round . Great price , great service and the insurance cover etc ticks every box . Customer service for a few odd questions were great and very quick response on what’s app . Highly recommended and will definitely use Hola again .. Thankyou.
Ps … Car was great too 👌🏼👌🏼"
תמיר מורוביץ
"This is not the first time we’ve rented cars through Hola, and each time we’re absolutely satisfied! Their service is excellent — always available, providing immediate responses, quickly solving any issues with kindness, and handling everything directly with the rental companies when needed.
Even when a refund was required, they took care of it fully without any hassle. The personal, reliable, and professional approach makes all the difference.
A fantastic experience every time, and I’ll definitely keep renting through them and highly recommend them to everyone"
mandy hughes
"Unfortunately I had to cancel my booking with Hola Car Rentals for personal reasons. I was assisted by the Sales Manager Karen to do this. After completing the cancellation efficiently and promptly she went above and beyond to help me with several additional questions I had. Based on my experience I would highly recommend Hola Car Rentals Customer service and would definitely use them again. Their rental prices were very competitive too."

Frequently Asked Questions
Which St. Louis neighborhoods are easiest for first-time drivers in a minivan if we want quick highway access and simple parking?
For drivers new to navigating a minivan in St. Louis, neighborhoods like Clayton or Webster Groves offer a less stressful experience. Both areas feature wider streets and more accessible surface parking lots compared to the dense downtown core. Clayton provides excellent, direct access to both I-64/40 and I-170, making it a great hub for exploring the wider region. Similarly, Webster Groves is conveniently located near I-44, and its residential character means less congestion and more straightforward navigation for larger vehicles.
What’s the most straightforward way to drive from Lambert Airport to a hotel near the Gateway Arch without getting stuck in confusing downtown one-way streets?
The most direct route from Lambert Airport (STL) to the Gateway Arch area is to take I-70 East. As you approach downtown, stay in the left lanes and follow signs for the Arch/Memorial Drive. To avoid the most confusing one-way streets, consider exiting at Pine Street or Market Street just before the stadium area. These are major thoroughfares that lead directly east toward the Arch grounds with clearer signage and fewer abrupt turns than some of the smaller north-south streets.
If our group is landing at different times, where’s a practical meetup spot in St. Louis to reorganize passengers and luggage before heading to the hotel?
A practical strategy for a group arriving at different times is to use the airport's Cell Phone Lot for waiting, then pick everyone up curbside at their respective terminals. For a more comfortable meetup spot away from airport congestion, consider a large, easy-to-access shopping center in a nearby suburb like Brentwood or Richmond Heights. The Saint Louis Galleria, for example, has expansive parking lots and coffee shops, providing a low-stress environment to gather, reorganize luggage in the minivan, and set your GPS for the final destination.
How tough is it to park a minivan around Ballpark Village on a game day, and what should we expect for entry and exit flow?
Parking a minivan near Ballpark Village on a game day is extremely challenging, so planning ahead is essential. The lots and garages closest to the stadium fill up hours before the first pitch and can have tight spaces. Expect significant traffic congestion on all surrounding streets, particularly on I-64/40, Broadway, and Market Street. For an easier experience, consider parking in a surface lot further west or north of the stadium and walking the final 10-15 minutes, which often makes for a much quicker exit after the game.
What are the easiest family-friendly stops between STL airport and downtown for grabbing snacks and supplies without complicated turns?
For a simple stop between the airport and downtown, look for options right off I-70 or I-170. The retail area around the intersection of I-170 and St. Charles Rock Road offers several large grocery stores and fast-food restaurants with spacious parking lots. Another excellent option is The Promenade at Brentwood, located just off I-170 and I-64/40. It features a Target and a Trader Joe's, both with ample parking that can easily accommodate a minivan, allowing you to stock up without navigating complex side streets.
How long does it usually take to drive from downtown St. Louis to the City Museum during peak traffic, and what’s parking like for a larger vehicle?
Even though the City Museum is very close to the downtown core, the drive can take 15-20 minutes during peak traffic due to city streetlights and congestion. The museum has its own dedicated parking lot, which is the most convenient option for a minivan. However, this lot can fill up quickly on weekends or school holidays. If the main lot is full, there are several nearby surface lots that are generally a better choice for a larger vehicle than trying to find a suitable on-street parking spot.
What’s the least stressful route for a minivan from STL airport to the Central West End if we’re arriving during weekday rush hour?
To avoid the worst of rush hour traffic from the airport to the Central West End, consider taking I-170 South to Forest Park Parkway East. This route bypasses the more congested stretches of I-64/40 and downtown interchanges. Forest Park Parkway offers a more scenic and generally smoother drive directly into the heart of the neighborhood. Be mindful that the parkway has traffic lights, but it typically has fewer bottlenecks than the interstate during peak commuting times.
Where do visitors typically run into trouble driving near the Arch grounds, and how can a minivan driver avoid dead ends and restricted areas?
Visitors often encounter trouble on the streets immediately adjacent to the Gateway Arch grounds, such as Memorial Drive and Leonor K. Sullivan Boulevard. These areas can have sudden lane closures, bus-only zones, and turn restrictions that are not always clear on GPS. To avoid issues, it's best to approach the Arch via major east-west streets like Market or Chestnut and look for signs to designated parking garages. Avoid trying to navigate the smaller service roads right along the riverfront, as they can be confusing and difficult to turn around in with a minivan.
How practical is it to use a minivan for a day split between Forest Park attractions (Zoo, Art Museum, Science Center), and where should we park to minimize moving the car?
Using a minivan for a day in Forest Park is very practical, and you can often park just once. A great strategy is to park near the Dennis & Judith Jones Visitor and Education Center, which is centrally located. From there, you can walk to the Missouri History Museum and the Saint Louis Art Museum. The park also operates a free tram system, the Forest Park Explorer, which can take you between major attractions like the Zoo and the Science Center, saving you the hassle of moving your minivan and finding a new spot.
If we’re staying in Soulard, what should we know about narrow streets, brick roads, and tight parking when arriving in a minivan?
When driving a minivan in Soulard, be prepared for a unique driving experience. The neighborhood's historic charm includes narrow streets, many of which are paved with brick, so it's best to drive slowly and cautiously. On-street parking is extremely limited and can be very tight for a larger vehicle. It is highly advisable to confirm that your accommodation offers dedicated off-street parking before you arrive, as this will save you a significant amount of stress when navigating the area.
What’s the simplest way to reach the Missouri Botanical Garden by car, and what time of day is easiest for finding minivan-friendly parking?
The most straightforward way to reach the Missouri Botanical Garden is by taking I-44 and exiting at Vandeventer Avenue. From there, clear signage will guide you the short distance to the garden entrance. The garden has a large, dedicated surface lot that is very accommodating for minivans. To ensure the easiest parking experience, plan to arrive on a weekday morning shortly after it opens, as the lot can become quite full during peak weekend hours and special events.
Are there any common navigation mistakes around I-64/40 and I-170 that tend to cause last-second lane changes for visitors?
A common point of confusion for visitors is the interchange connecting I-64/40 and I-170. The exits and merges can come up quickly, and the signage requires your full attention. Specifically, when traveling east on I-64/40, the exit for I-170 North is a left-lane exit, which can catch drivers by surprise. It's wise to have your GPS on with voice commands and review your route beforehand to anticipate which lane you'll need to be in well ahead of the interchange.
How should we plan a minivan day trip to the St. Louis Outlet Mall area or Chesterfield Valley while avoiding heavy shopping traffic backups?
To avoid the worst traffic on a trip to Chesterfield Valley, plan to travel during off-peak hours. Weekday mornings after the rush hour commute, around 10 a.m., are typically ideal for a smooth drive out on I-64/40. The shopping centers there have vast parking lots, so finding a spot for a minivan is never an issue. Be aware that weekend afternoons can get very congested, not just on the highway but also on the local roads within the valley, so an early start is your best strategy.
What’s the easiest drive from St. Louis to Grant’s Farm with kids in the car, and what’s the parking experience like with a larger vehicle?
The drive to Grant's Farm is quite simple and well-suited for a family in a minivan. From most parts of St. Louis, you'll take I-270 or I-55 to Gravois Road, and the attraction is prominently signed from there. The parking experience is designed for high-volume family traffic, featuring a very large, organized lot with plenty of space. Attendants are usually on hand to direct vehicles, making it a low-stress process even for larger minivans on the busiest of days.
If we’re doing a brewery-focused day in The Grove and Midtown, what’s the best way to handle parking and short drives between stops in a minivan?
For a brewery tour in The Grove and Midtown, the best strategy is to park your minivan once and utilize a rideshare service or walk between locations. Both neighborhoods have a high concentration of destinations within a relatively small area. Finding a single, secure parking spot in a garage or a larger surface lot in Midtown near Saint Louis University can serve as a great home base. This approach eliminates the repeated frustration of searching for street parking, which can be scarce and tight for a minivan.
