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)

Not always, but it depends on your licence. For your Norfolk SUV hire, a valid foreign driving licence is generally accepted. However, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is strongly recommended if your licence is not in English, and it is mandatory if your licence uses a non-Latin alphabet such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic.

The IDP is a translation document only. It must be carried alongside your original licence at all times and is not valid on its own. You must obtain it in your home country before travelling, as it cannot be issued abroad.

• Bring your original physical driving licence (unexpired)
• Bring your IDP if your licence is not in English or uses a non-Latin alphabet
• Bring a valid passport or government-issued photo ID
• All documents must be physical originals; digital copies are not accepted at the Norfolk counter

Yes, a major credit card is required to pick up your SUV hire in Norfolk. The card must be a physical card in the main driver’s name, with the driver’s name printed on it, and must have sufficient available credit to cover the authorisation hold.

• Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual or single-use card numbers are not accepted for the deposit
• Digital wallets such as Apple Pay or Google Pay are not accepted at the counter
• Someone else’s card is not accepted, even if they are travelling with you

At the Norfolk counter, a temporary authorisation hold will be placed on your card. This reduces your available credit until your bank releases it after the hire ends, which can take up to 15 business days. For a SUV, the hold may be higher than for a standard vehicle. Bringing a backup credit card in your own name is strongly recommended in case your primary card is declined.

For a SUV hire in Norfolk, the security deposit is a temporary hold placed on your credit card at pickup. In the United Kingdom, typical holds range from GBP 300 to GBP 400 for standard vehicles, but SUV and premium vehicle classes often carry higher hold amounts.

The exact amount is set by the rental partner desk at the Norfolk location and may vary by brand, season, and vehicle class. The deposit is not a charge; it is a temporary authorisation that reduces your available credit until the hire concludes and your bank processes the release.

• Only a major credit card in the main driver’s name is accepted for the hold
• Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted
• Release timing after return is controlled by your bank and can take up to 15 business days
• Notify your bank of your travel plans to avoid fraud blocks on the authorisation

Yes, there are toll roads in the Norfolk and broader Virginia area that you may encounter during your SUV hire. Virginia uses E-ZPass as its primary electronic toll system, and most toll facilities are cashless or require exact change during overnight hours.

Key toll roads relevant to a Norfolk SUV hire include:

• Chesapeake Expressway (16 miles): US$4.00 for standard 2-axle vehicles, US$5.00 for 4-axle vehicles
• Pocahontas Parkway: US$4.85 for 2-axle vehicles, US$7.15 for 4-axle trucks
• Powhite Parkway: US$0.75 for 2-axle vehicles
• I-66, I-495, I-95, and I-395 Express Lanes use dynamic pricing based on real-time traffic

Your Norfolk SUV hire vehicle will include an electronic toll device. At the counter you can enrol in the rental company's toll programme (typically GBP 3.99 to GBP 7.99 per day, plus actual tolls) or opt out and pay tolls manually where available. If you opt out and drive a cashless toll road, the rental company will charge the toll amount plus administrative fees to your card after the hire ends.

Yes, all bookings include Tolls Cashback, which lets you recover up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your Norfolk SUV hire. Given that the Virginia and Norfolk area has several toll roads including the Chesapeake Expressway and E-ZPass routes, this benefit can offset a meaningful portion of your toll costs.

How it works: the refund is the lesser of the actual tolls you paid or 5% of your booking total. For example, if your Norfolk SUV booking totals US$600, the cap is US$30. If you paid US$18 in tolls, you receive US$18 back. If you paid US$50, you receive US$30.

To claim your cashback after returning your SUV in Norfolk:

• Email [email protected] within 30 days of vehicle return
• Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback - Reservation [Your Confirmation Number]
• Attach your Hola Car Rentals confirmation, the signed hire agreement, and a toll receipt or statement showing charges paid

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

The minimum age to hire a SUV in Norfolk without additional surcharges is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can hire in Virginia but will be charged a daily young-renter surcharge, and most SUV and premium vehicle classes are restricted to drivers 25 and older.

If you are under 25 and want to hire a SUV in Norfolk, note that larger SUV categories such as Full Size SUV and Premium SUV are typically restricted to renters aged 25 and above. Compact SUV and Medium SUV categories may be available to younger renters depending on the partner brand.

• Age 25 and older: no surcharge, full SUV class access
• Age 21 to 24: young-renter surcharge applies daily; most large SUV classes are restricted
• Age 18 to 20: not eligible at most Norfolk locations (exceptions for New York and Michigan do not apply here)

A valid driving licence and a major credit card in the main driver’s name are required regardless of age. If your licence is not in English or uses a non-Latin alphabet, an IDP is also required.

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

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

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

The additional driver must be present at the Norfolk pickup with a valid physical driving licence. They must also meet the minimum age requirement for the SUV class you are hiring. If their licence is not in English or uses a non-Latin alphabet, they will also need an IDP. Only drivers listed on the hire agreement are covered by the vehicle’s protections, so never let an unlisted person drive your Norfolk SUV.

For a SUV hire in Norfolk, there are two main types of cover to consider: Collision Damage Waiver (CDW/LDW) and Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI).

CDW/LDW reduces your financial liability for damage to the SUV itself from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation shows zero deductible. CDW/LDW does not cover damage you cause to other vehicles or persons.

LIS/ALI/SLI covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving your Norfolk SUV. Virginia does not universally mandate that hire companies include state-minimum liability for all renters, so confirming your coverage before pickup is important.

• CDW/LDW: covers the hire vehicle for damage and theft, subject to deductible
• LIS/ALI/SLI: covers third-party injury and property damage you cause to others
• Neither covers your personal injuries (that requires PAI) or your belongings (that requires PEC)
• Coverage applies only to drivers listed on the hire agreement

Review your booking confirmation to see which coverages are included in your Norfolk SUV rate before arriving at the counter.

Yes, most bookings include Travel Assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection, and this applies to your Norfolk SUV hire as well. However, this benefit is available only to non-North American customers. Residents of the United States and Canada do not qualify.

For eligible renters, the cover typically includes:

• Travel insurance with medical cover for up to 5 passengers
• Legal assistance in the event of an accident during your Norfolk SUV hire
• Compensation for luggage lost by the airline
• Flight cancellation insurance

This cover does not replace CDW/LDW for damage to your SUV or LIS/ALI/SLI for third-party liability. It is designed for personal medical and travel emergencies that may occur during your trip in the Norfolk area.

To use the assistance, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day at +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free) or via WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready. Always check your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your reservation.

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

At pickup in Norfolk, 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 before leaving the lot.

When returning your Norfolk SUV, refuel within approximately 10 miles 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.

• Return the SUV full: no fuel charges apply
• Return below full: you may be charged the partner’s refuelling rate (typically higher than pump price) plus a service fee
• Wrong fuel type: not covered by the fuel policy and may generate additional charges
• After-hours return: leave the receipt in the key envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge

If the SUV was not full at pickup, ask the agent to record the exact level on the agreement and return it at that same level.

Yes, one-way SUV hires from Norfolk to another city are possible, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on the route, the hire partner, and the SUV class you select.

The drop-off fee is a one-time charge set by the hire partner to reposition the vehicle. For SUV and larger vehicle classes, this fee can be higher than for economy cars because they are more costly to reposition. The fee is not mileage, fuel, or a tax, though it is typically taxable locally.

• Same-city airport to downtown Norfolk: often no drop-off fee
• Norfolk to another Virginia city: a drop-off fee usually applies and varies by distance and SUV class
• Norfolk to a different state: a drop-off fee almost always applies and can be significant
• Cross-border one-ways (for example, to Canada): often restricted or carry high fees

During booking, the drop-off fee for your Norfolk SUV route will appear under the To pay at destination section on the rate details page. This fee cannot be prepaid and must be paid at the counter. Always verify the fee on your confirmation before pickup.

To pick up your SUV hire in Norfolk, you must present a complete set of physical documents at the counter. Digital copies are not accepted.

• Original, unexpired driving licence in the main driver’s name (physical card)
• International Driving Permit (IDP) if your licence is not in English or uses a non-Latin alphabet such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic
• Valid passport or government-issued photo ID
• Physical major credit card in the main driver’s name with the driver’s name printed on the card, for the security deposit hold
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher (required for certain rental partners)
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets if you are visiting Norfolk from abroad

For your Norfolk SUV pickup, also confirm that the name on your driving licence, passport, and credit card all match. A mismatch can cause delays or denial at the counter. If you are adding an additional driver to the SUV, they must also be present with their own valid licence and ID. Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined for the deposit hold.

Counter hours for SUV hire in Norfolk vary by rental partner brand and location, and may change on public holidays. Always confirm the hours shown on your booking confirmation before you travel.

Key things to know about pickup timing for your Norfolk SUV hire:

• Rental companies will hold your SUV booking for up to 24 hours from the original scheduled pickup time
• If your flight is delayed by less than 24 hours, your Norfolk SUV reservation will be held, but you must arrive during service hours
• If your delay exceeds 24 hours, contact support as soon as possible, as the booking may be forfeited without a refund
• After-hours pickup or return must be arranged in advance with the rental partner; confirm key-drop instructions before your trip

The standard grace period on return is 30 minutes. If you return your Norfolk SUV after that window, extra hours or days may be billed along with a late fee. Always plan your return time to account for refuelling near the return location. If the counter is unexpectedly closed, use the contact number printed on your rental agreement.
