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

Rental car counters at Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport are located on the main level of the terminal, near baggage claim. After exiting the security checkpoint, turn right to reach the rental car counter area.

All major brands serving Gulfport operate from a single consolidated facility at 14035 Airport Road, Gulfport, MS 39503, including Avis, Budget, Hertz, Alamo, Dollar, and Enterprise. Because all counters are in one location, you do not need to travel between separate buildings to find your SUV hire brand.

Counter hours at the airport run Monday through Sunday, 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM. If you are returning your SUV outside those hours, Avis offers 24-hour drop-off service at the same address. Check your booking confirmation for the exact brand and any after-hours instructions specific to your reservation.

No, there are no toll roads in Mississippi, so driving your SUV hire in Gulfport involves zero toll charges, toll transponders, or toll-related fees of any kind.

Unlike many other U.S. destinations, Mississippi has no cashless toll systems, no congestion charges, and no city-centre driving fees. You will not encounter systems such as E-ZPass or SunPass anywhere in the state, and no toll programme enrolment is needed for your Gulfport SUV hire.

Because there are no tolls in Gulfport or anywhere in Mississippi, you will not face plate-based billing, administrative processing fees, or post-hire toll invoices from the rental company. This makes budgeting for your SUV hire straightforward, with no surprise charges after you return the vehicle.

To collect your SUV hire in Gulfport, 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 physical card, used 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 driver’s licence is not in English and does not use a Latin alphabet (for example, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script), an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory alongside your original licence. For licences in English or a Latin alphabet, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required.

All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted at the Gulfport hire counter. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the deposit on your SUV hire.

Yes, Tolls Cashback is included with every SUV hire booked through Hola Car Rentals, and it applies to tolls paid anywhere during your hire period, including if you drive your Gulfport SUV into neighbouring states that do have toll roads.

Since Mississippi itself has no toll roads, you will not pay any tolls while driving in Gulfport. However, if your trip takes you into states such as Louisiana or Florida where toll roads exist, any tolls you pay are eligible for reimbursement of up to 5% of your total booking value.

To claim your cashback after returning your SUV hire in Gulfport, email [email protected] within 30 days of vehicle return and include:

• Your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation
• A copy of the hire agreement signed at pick-up
• A receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid

Refunds are processed to your original payment method within 7 to 10 working days after approval. Submissions received after 30 days are not accepted.

When you pick up your SUV hire in Gulfport, the hire company will place a temporary authorisation hold on your credit card. For SUV hires in the United States, the typical hold is around US$300 to US$400 for standard vehicles, though premium or larger SUV classes may carry a higher hold amount.

This is not a charge. It is a temporary reduction in your available credit that is released after you return the vehicle. Your bank controls how quickly the hold disappears, and it can take up to 15 working days to reflect on your statement after drop-off.

A few important points for your Gulfport SUV hire:

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

The exact hold amount is set by the hire desk at the Gulfport location and may vary by brand, season, and SUV class.

Yes, starting in 2025, Gulfport officially permits low-speed vehicles such as golf carts on city streets with speed limits of 25 mph or less, which means your SUV hire in Gulfport may share lanes with these slower vehicles in residential and commercial areas.

A few driving rules to be aware of for your Gulfport SUV hire:

• Golf carts are restricted to the outermost lane on multi-lane roads, so your SUV should not be blocked on faster roads
• Golf carts are banned from US Highway 90 except at designated crossings, so that main coastal route remains clear for standard vehicles
• Golf cart operators must be registered with the city and have passed a police inspection, but you may still encounter them unexpectedly in slower zones

Your SUV hire in Gulfport faces no height, width, or weight restrictions on standard roads. The flat coastal road network is well suited to SUVs. Simply allow extra reaction time in slower residential streets where golf carts may appear, especially if you are not accustomed to sharing lanes with low-speed vehicles.

The insurance included with your SUV hire in Gulfport depends on the rate plan you selected at booking. Hola Car Rentals offers All Inclusive and All Inclusive+ rate plans for U.S. hires, each with different levels of protection.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) reduces your financial liability for damage to the SUV itself from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation explicitly states zero deductible.

Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI) covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to other people while driving your Gulfport SUV hire. Some U.S. states require a minimum level of liability to be included, but coverage levels vary. Adding supplemental liability up to US$300,000 is strongly recommended.

CDW and LDW do not cover:

• Damage to other vehicles or people (that requires LIS/ALI/SLI)
• Tires, undercarriage, or roof damage unless specifically included
• Incidents involving authorised drivers or prohibited use

Review your Gulfport SUV hire confirmation carefully to confirm exactly which coverages are active and what deductible applies before you arrive at the counter.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your SUV hire in Gulfport, either as part of your rate if it is already included, or by paying a daily fee at the counter.

Check your booking confirmation for the line that reads Additional driver free of charge. If it appears, the first extra driver is covered at no cost. If it does not appear, the daily fees at the Gulfport counter are approximately:

• 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 with no stated cap

The additional driver must be physically present at the Gulfport counter at pick-up with a valid driver’s licence and any required ID. Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the hire agreement. Only drivers listed on the agreement are covered by the SUV hire’s protections such as CDW and liability cover.

For Avis, Budget, and Payless, additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old at the time of pick-up in Gulfport.

Yes, most Hola Car Rentals bookings include Travel Assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection, which can help in situations such as a medical emergency or accident while driving your SUV hire in or around Gulfport. However, this benefit does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada.

Travel Assistance covers up to 5 passengers and typically includes:

• Travel insurance with medical cover for accidents and non-pre-existing illnesses
• Legal assistance in the event of an accident
• Compensation for luggage lost by the airline
• Flight cancellation insurance

This cover does not replace roadside assistance for the SUV hire vehicle itself. For mechanical breakdowns or flat tyres with your Gulfport SUV, contact the roadside assistance line of your hire partner, which is printed on your hire agreement.

If you need Travel Assistance during your Gulfport trip, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day:

• Phone: +1 888 980 9992
• WhatsApp: +1 208 910 1001
• Email: [email protected]

Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call.

The minimum age to hire an SUV in Gulfport without a young-renter surcharge is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can hire in Gulfport but will be charged a daily underage fee and face restrictions on which SUV classes they can book.

Mississippi does not have the same exceptions as New York or Michigan, so the standard U.S. rules apply in Gulfport. Most hire partners at Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport restrict larger and premium SUV categories to drivers aged 25 and over. Compact and intermediate SUVs are typically the only SUV classes available to drivers under 25.

Young-renter daily surcharges at the Gulfport counter vary by brand but can add a significant amount to the total cost of your SUV hire. Budget for this fee if you are between 21 and 24 years old.

If you are from Latin America or the Caribbean and are aged 21 to 24, certain Hola Car Rentals rates with Avis or Budget may waive the underage fee for eligible SUV categories. Check your booking confirmation to see if this waiver is shown, and bring your passport as proof of nationality at the Gulfport counter.

Yes, one-way SUV hires from Gulfport to a different city are possible, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on your return location, the hire brand, and the vehicle class.

When searching for your Gulfport SUV hire, select a different return location during checkout. If a drop-off fee applies to your route, it will appear on the rate details page under the To pay at destination section before you confirm the booking. This fee is not prepaid and must be paid at the Gulfport counter or the return location.

General patterns for one-way SUV hires from Gulfport:

• Returning to a nearby city in the same region may carry a moderate drop-off fee
• Long-distance or cross-country returns typically carry higher fees
• Larger SUV classes may have higher repositioning fees than compact SUVs
• Cross-border returns (for example, into Mexico or Canada) are often restricted or require special authorisation

If you change your return location after booking your Gulfport SUV hire, the rate will be re-priced and the drop-off fee may change. Review your confirmation carefully and contact support if the fee at the counter differs from what was shown during booking.

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

At pick-up, 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 before leaving the Gulfport counter.

When returning your SUV hire in Gulfport, refuel within approximately 10 miles of the return location at 14035 Airport Road so the gauge does not drop before you arrive. Keep the fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address.

If you return the SUV with less than a full tank, the hire company may charge:

• A fuel shortfall at the partner's refuelling rate, which is typically higher than the pump price
• A refuelling service or administrative fee on top of the fuel cost

For after-hours SUV returns in Gulfport using the Avis 24-hour drop-off service, leave the fuel receipt in the return envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge on your phone as evidence.

Yes, after-hours SUV hire returns are available in Gulfport through Avis, which offers 24-hour drop-off service at the airport facility located at 14035 Airport Road, Gulfport, MS 39503.

Standard counter hours at the Gulfport airport location run from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM, seven days a week. If your SUV hire return falls outside those hours, the Avis 24-hour drop-off option allows you to leave the vehicle without a staff member present.

For a smooth after-hours SUV hire return in Gulfport:

• Refuel the SUV within 10 miles of the airport before arriving
• Take a photo of the fuel gauge showing a full tank
• Place the keys and any required paperwork in the designated key drop box
• Keep a copy of the fuel receipt with the station address and time

Note that the downtown Enterprise location at 8455 Tennessee Avenue, Gulfport, MS 39501 does not offer after-hours returns and is closed on Sundays, making it less suitable if your schedule is flexible or your flight arrives late. The airport location is the recommended return point for most SUV hires in Gulfport.
