No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your booking in Gaspé 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 Gaspé 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 SUV hire counter at Gaspé Airport (YGP) is located inside the terminal building at 60 Rue De L'Aeroport, Gaspé, QC G4X 2K2. No shuttle is required: simply walk from the arrivals area directly to the Enterprise Rent-A-Car counter inside the terminal.

Enterprise is the only on-site hire provider at YGP, and they offer SUV options such as the Toyota RAV4. From the moment you clear baggage claim to driving away in your SUV, expect roughly 15 to 30 minutes for counter processing under normal conditions.

Counter hours at the Gaspé Airport location are Monday through Friday, 08:00 to 17:00. The counter is closed on Saturdays and Sundays, so if you are arriving outside those hours or on a weekend, contact the provider in advance to confirm arrangements. If you prefer a downtown pickup, a second Enterprise location operates at 164 Bd De Gaspe, Gaspé, QC G4X 1A9, though that requires a separate arrangement from the airport.

To collect your SUV hire in Gaspé, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:

• A valid, original driver’s licence in the main driver’s name. If your licence is not in English and does not use a Latin alphabet (for example, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic), you must also carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) as a translation alongside your original licence.
• A major credit card with the driver’s name printed on the physical card, used for the authorisation hold. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the deposit.
• A valid passport or government-issued photo ID.
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher.
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets if you are visiting from abroad.

All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted at the Gaspé counter. If you think you may need an IDP, obtain it in your home country before travelling, as it cannot be issued abroad.

Yes, a major credit card is required to hire an SUV in Gaspé. 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.

At pickup, the hire partner will place a temporary authorisation hold on your card. For Canada, typical holds range from GBP 225 to GBP 375, though some locations may authorise up to GBP 560 for larger vehicle classes such as an SUV. This 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, prepaid cards, and virtual or single-use card numbers are not accepted for the deposit.
• Digital wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay) are not accepted for the security hold.
• Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined.

Even if you prepaid your SUV hire online, you must still present a physical credit card at the Gaspé counter for the deposit hold.

Quebec operates cashless toll roads, meaning there are no cash payment booths. All tolls must be paid electronically or online, so driving your SUV hire in and around Gaspé requires understanding how toll billing works.

If your hire partner provides an electronic toll device or transponder in the SUV, you can choose between two options at the counter:

• An unlimited toll package at a fixed daily rate (typically US$11 to US$25 per day, or the Canadian equivalent), covering all tolls during the hire period.
• A pay-per-use arrangement, where the actual toll amounts plus administrative processing fees are charged to your credit card after the hire ends, sometimes weeks later.

For example, Avis offers an e-Toll programme in Quebec with a flat charge plus actual toll amounts, while Enterprise offers a TollPass service with a daily convenience charge of roughly US$3.95 to US$4.95, capped at US$30 per hire period.

If you opt out of the hire partner’s toll programme, you are responsible for paying tolls through the applicable online system. Driving through a cashless toll without paying can result in fines and additional fees billed to your hire agreement.

Review the toll terms carefully before signing your SUV hire agreement in Gaspé.

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

Since Quebec uses a cashless toll system, any toll charges billed through your hire partner’s programme or paid directly are eligible for this benefit. Here is how to claim it:

• Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning your SUV.
• Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback, followed by your reservation number (for example, Tolls Cashback - HOLA1000000).
• Attach your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation, the signed hire agreement, and a receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid.

The refund is the lesser of the actual tolls paid or 5% of your booking total. For example, if your Gaspé SUV booking totalled GBP 450, the maximum cashback would be GBP 22.50. If you paid GBP 15 in tolls, you receive GBP 15 back. Refunds are processed to your original payment method within 7 to 10 working days after approval. Late submissions received after 30 days are not accepted.

The Enterprise Rent-A-Car counter at Gaspé Airport (YGP) is open Monday through Friday from 08:00 to 17:00. The counter is closed on Saturdays and Sundays, which is an important consideration when planning your SUV hire in Gaspé.

If your flight is delayed, hire partners will generally hold your SUV booking for up to 24 hours from the original scheduled pickup time. If the delay exceeds 24 hours, contact support as soon as possible, as the booking may be forfeited without a refund if the hold window passes.

• Arriving outside counter hours on a weekday or on a weekend: contact Enterprise in advance to confirm whether any after-hours arrangement is available at the Gaspé location.
• If no after-hours option exists, consider adjusting your travel schedule or booking your SUV pickup for a time that falls within operating hours.
• The downtown Gaspé location at 164 Bd De Gaspe may have different hours; confirm directly before relying on it as an alternative.

Always verify counter hours on your hire agreement, as hours can change on public holidays.

Driving an SUV hire in Gaspé comes with several local rules that differ from what many visitors expect:

• Winter tyres are mandatory in Quebec from 1 December to 15 March. Your hire SUV should already be equipped with approved winter tyres during this period; confirm this at the counter.
• Rural roads around Gaspé default to 90 km/h, not the 100 to 110 km/h common in other provinces. Speed drops to 80, 70, or even 30 km/h in school zones, often with limited advance signage.
• All road signs in Quebec are in French only. Stop signs read ARRET. Familiarise yourself with basic French road vocabulary before driving your SUV out of Gaspé.
• Flashing green traffic lights indicate that opposing traffic is stopped and you have priority for a left turn. This is unique to Quebec and surprises many visitors.
• Right turns on red are generally permitted in Quebec outside Montreal, but watch for signs prohibiting it at specific intersections near Gaspé.
• Fines double in roadworks zones, and rural police actively enforce speed limits. Excessive speeding can result in on-the-spot licence suspension.
• Hazard lights are required if your SUV is moving significantly below the posted speed and impeding traffic flow.

Plan your route in advance and allow extra time when navigating rural roads around Gaspé in your SUV.

Yes, most bookings include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection, which can be valuable if you encounter an emergency while driving your SUV hire in Gaspé or on the remote rural roads of the Gaspe Peninsula.

Core benefits typically include:

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

If you need emergency assistance while in your SUV near Gaspé, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready (for example, HOLA1000000) and follow the coordinator's instructions before incurring any expenses, as some reimbursements require prior authorisation.

Important: this travel assistance benefit applies only to non-North American customers. Canadian and US residents do not qualify for this cover. Check your booking confirmation for the exact terms, limits, and exclusions that apply to your specific reservation.

This cover does not replace CDW/LDW for damage to the SUV itself, nor does it cover third-party liability to others.

Yes, one-way SUV hires are possible in Gaspé, but a drop-off fee will typically apply when you return the vehicle to a different location than where you picked it up.

The drop-off fee is set by the hire partner and varies based on the route, distance, vehicle class, and season. For an SUV, which is a larger and more expensive vehicle to reposition, fees can be higher than for a standard car. Key points to note:

• The drop-off fee is shown during the booking process under the section labelled as charges due at destination. Review this before confirming your reservation.
• The fee cannot be prepaid and is collected at the Gaspé pickup counter.
• Cross-border one-way hires (for example, Gaspé to a US city) may be restricted or carry significantly higher fees depending on the hire partner’s rules.
• If you change your return location after booking, the fee may be recalculated and could increase.

If the counter in Gaspé charges a drop-off fee that differs from what was shown on your confirmation, keep all paperwork and contact support after the hire ends. The No Extra Charges© guarantee can help resolve undisclosed fees after verification.

The standard fuel policy for your SUV hire in Gaspé is Full-to-Full. You receive the SUV with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.

• 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 gauge.
• During your hire, use the correct fuel type for your SUV. Wrong-fuel incidents are not covered by the fuel policy and may generate significant charges.
• Before returning your SUV in Gaspé, refuel within approximately 15 km of the return location so the gauge does not drop below full before you arrive.
• Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address as proof in case of any dispute.

If you return the SUV 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 the pump price, plus a refuelling service fee. Returning the tank full is always the most cost-effective option. Ask the agent at the Gaspé counter for the nearest fuel station to the return location when you pick up your SUV.

Yes, hiring a SUV directly at Gaspé Airport (YGP) typically includes airport concession fees charged by the hire partner on top of the base rate. These are standard charges that apply at most Canadian airports and are separate from the vehicle rate itself.

In Quebec, you will also pay provincial taxes including QST (Quebec Sales Tax) and GST (federal Goods and Services Tax), which together amount to approximately 14.975%. These taxes apply to both airport and downtown SUV hires in Gaspé.

To reduce the impact of airport concession fees on your SUV hire in Gaspé, consider these options:

• The downtown Enterprise location at 164 Bd De Gaspe, Gaspé, QC G4X 1A9 is approximately 5 to 10 km from the airport and typically does not carry the same concession surcharges, which can result in significant savings on multi-day SUV hires.
• Enterprise offers shuttle or pickup service from the airport to off-airport locations if needed.

Your booking confirmation will show which taxes and fees are included in your prepaid rate versus what is due at the Gaspé counter. Review this carefully before pickup to avoid surprises.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your SUV hire in Gaspé, either at no cost if your rate includes it, or for a daily fee paid at the counter if it does not.

Typical additional driver fees at the Gaspé counter, if not included in your rate:

• Alamo, National, Enterprise: approximately GBP 12 per day (or Canadian equivalent).
• Avis, Budget, Payless: approximately GBP 11 per rental day, capped at GBP 55.
• Hertz, Thrifty, Dollar: approximately GBP 11.50 per rental day, capped at GBP 161.

Requirements for adding a driver to your Gaspé SUV hire:

• The additional driver must be present at the Gaspé counter at pickup with their own valid driver’s licence and ID.
• If their licence is not in English and does not use a Latin alphabet, they must also carry 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.

Check your booking confirmation before arriving at the Gaspé counter to see whether an additional driver is already included in your SUV rate.

When hiring an SUV in Gaspé, two main types of protection are relevant: cover for the vehicle itself and cover for damage or injury you may cause to others.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) reduces your financial liability if the SUV is damaged or stolen during your hire in Gaspé. A deductible may still apply unless your confirmation explicitly states zero deductible. Note that CDW/LDW typically does not cover tyres, the undercarriage, or the roof of the SUV, and it does not cover third parties.

Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI) covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to other people or vehicles while driving your SUV in Gaspé. Under Canadian provincial law, every hire vehicle must carry a minimum level of third-party liability, which is included by default when hiring in Canada. You can purchase higher supplementary limits if you want additional protection.

• CDW/LDW covers the hire SUV itself, not others.
• LIS/ALI/SLI covers others, not the hire SUV.
• Neither covers your personal injuries (that requires PAI) nor your belongings (that requires PEC).

Review your booking confirmation to confirm which protections are included in your Gaspé SUV hire and what deductible, if any, applies before signing the hire agreement at the counter.
