No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your SUV booking in Saskatoon 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, whether you are renting an SUV or any other vehicle class. This is a pricing guarantee (not insurance) that protects you if the counter in Saskatoon 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 rental 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 rental counter at Saskatoon Airport (YXE) is located on the first floor of the terminal, directly across from baggage claim. All major partner brands, including Avis, Enterprise, Alamo, National, Thrifty, Budget, and Dollar, operate counters at this location.

When you arrive at Saskatoon Airport, collect your bags, then walk across to the rental counters on the first floor. Present your booking confirmation, driver's license, and credit card to the agent to receive your rental agreement and SUV keys.

If you are renting through Alamo in Saskatoon, a touch-screen self-service kiosk is available to bypass the counter line. You receive a receipt-sized rental agreement and are directed to the vehicle lot, where you show your agreement and license at the exit booth.

Allow approximately 15 to 20 minutes from arrival to driving away in your SUV, depending on counter wait times and the checkout method you choose.

Counter hours differ between the two SUV rental locations in Saskatoon, so it is important to plan your pickup accordingly.

Saskatoon Airport (YXE) operates extended hours:

• Monday through Friday: 7:30 AM to 11:59 PM
• Saturday and Sunday: 8:00 AM to 11:59 PM

The downtown Saskatoon location at 602 1st Ave N operates more limited hours:

• Monday through Friday: 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM
• Saturday and Sunday: 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM

Both Saskatoon locations support 24-hour SUV vehicle drop-off. For after-hours returns at the airport, park and lock your SUV in the designated area, place your completed contract and keys in the key drop box, and retain all personal belongings. Note that not all partner brands offer after-hours drop service at every Saskatoon location, so confirm with your specific rental company before your return.

No, there are no toll roads anywhere in Saskatchewan, including in and around Saskatoon. You can drive your SUV rental throughout the province without encountering any toll booths, cashless toll lanes, or electronic toll systems.

There are also no congestion charges, emissions zones, or city-center driving fees in Saskatoon, unlike some major cities in Europe or eastern Canada. Toll programs such as TollPass or PlatePass that apply to SUV rentals in the United States or Ontario do not operate in Saskatchewan.

If your Saskatoon SUV rental trip takes you into other provinces where tolls do apply, such as Ontario, you can still claim Tolls Cashback through Hola Car Rentals for any tolls paid during your rental period.

Yes, all bookings include Tolls Cashback, which lets you recover up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your SUV rental, even if your trip starts in Saskatoon.

Since Saskatchewan has no toll roads, you would only accumulate toll charges if your Saskatoon SUV rental takes you into another province where tolls apply. If that happens, here is how to claim your cashback:

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

The refund is calculated as the lesser of the actual tolls paid or 5% of your Saskatoon booking total. For example, if your booking total is US$500, the maximum cashback is US$25. Refunds are issued to your original payment method within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Late submissions received after 30 days are not accepted.

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

• A valid, original driver's license in the main driver's name
• A major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card, used for the security deposit hold
• A passport or valid government photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets if you are visiting from outside Canada

If your driver's license is not in English or French and uses a non-Latin alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory alongside your original license. For licenses in other non-English scripts, an IDP is strongly recommended. The IDP is a translation only and is not valid without your original license.

All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies or photos on your phone are not accepted at Saskatoon SUV rental counters. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit hold.

When driving your SUV rental in and around Saskatoon, you will encounter several posted speed limits that differ from what you may be used to at home.

• Highways around Saskatoon: 90 to 110 km/h
• Standard urban streets: typically 50 km/h
• School and playground zones: always 30 km/h, regardless of time of day
• Active work zones on 50 km/h streets: reduced to 30 km/h during repairs

Saskatchewan enforces excessive speeding strictly. Driving at twice the posted limit in your Saskatoon SUV rental can result in fines starting at CAD 140, plus CAD 4 per km/h over the limit, 4 demerit points, and potential vehicle impoundment on repeat offenses within a year. Driving too slowly can also result in an obstruction of traffic demerit, so maintain a reasonable pace on rural highways.

Speed enforcement is active throughout the Saskatoon region, and distracted driving is a leading cause of serious collisions. Hand-held device use while driving is absolutely prohibited.

Saskatchewan enforces stricter impaired driving rules than the Canadian federal standard, and these apply to anyone driving an SUV rental in Saskatoon.

The legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) thresholds in Saskatchewan are:

• 0.04% to 0.08%: administrative penalties including fines of CAD 1,250 to CAD 2,250 and immediate license suspension
• 0.08% and above: criminal impaired driving charges under federal law
• Novice drivers (under 19 or on a learner's license): zero tolerance for any alcohol or drugs

Vehicle impoundment is also possible, with towing costs starting at CAD 55 plus CAD 2 per km if the SUV is towed outside Saskatoon. These costs are the responsibility of the registered driver or vehicle owner and are not covered by any rental insurance or CDW/LDW.

These penalties are significantly harsher than in many other provinces and countries, so plan accordingly before driving your Saskatoon SUV rental.

Yes, most bookings include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection, and this applies to your SUV rental in Saskatoon as well. However, this benefit is not available to residents of Canada or the United States.

If you qualify, the coverage typically includes:

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

This is particularly useful if you experience a medical emergency or accident while driving your SUV rental on Saskatchewan highways around Saskatoon, where distances between towns can be significant.

To use the assistance, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day, 7 days a week:

• Phone (toll-free or collect): +1 888 980 9992
• WhatsApp: +1 208 910 1001
• Email: [email protected]

Have your full name and Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call. Always check your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your Saskatoon SUV rental.

SUV rentals in Saskatoon follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy. You receive your SUV with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.

Here is what to do at each stage:

• At pickup: check the fuel gauge with the agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on your rental agreement. Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and gauge.
• During the rental: use the correct fuel type as specified in the vehicle documentation. Keep your fuel receipts.
• Before return: refuel within approximately 15 km of the Saskatoon return location so the gauge does not drop below full before you arrive. Take a photo of the full gauge as evidence.

If you return your Saskatoon SUV rental with less than a full tank, the rental partner may charge you for the fuel shortfall at their own refueling rate, which is typically higher than the pump price, plus an administrative service fee.

For after-hours returns at Saskatoon Airport, leave your fuel receipt in the key drop envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge on your phone.

When you pick up your SUV rental in Saskatoon, the rental partner will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card. This is not a charge but it reduces your available credit until the rental is closed and your bank releases the hold.

For Canada, typical security deposit holds range from approximately CAD 300 to CAD 500, though some Saskatoon locations may require a hold of around CAD 750. SUV and premium vehicle classes can attract higher hold amounts than standard cars.

Important things to know before arriving at the Saskatoon counter:

• Only a major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card is accepted for the deposit. Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted.
• Make sure your card has sufficient available credit to cover the hold plus any expected charges.
• Notify your bank of your travel plans to prevent the authorization from being declined.
• Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined.

After you return your Saskatoon SUV rental, the hold is released, but your bank controls when it appears back on your statement, which can take up to 15 business days.

Yes, when you rent an SUV in Saskatoon, provincial law in Saskatchewan requires every vehicle on the road to carry third-party liability insurance. This statutory liability coverage is included by default with your rental in Canada.

This means you are covered for bodily injury and property damage you may cause to other people while driving your Saskatoon SUV rental. However, the default statutory coverage meets only the provincial minimum requirement.

If you want higher liability limits, you can purchase supplemental liability insurance (LIS/ALI/SLI) as an add-on. This is worth considering if you plan to drive your SUV rental on busy Saskatoon highways or into other provinces where traffic volumes are higher.

Keep in mind that third-party liability does not cover:

• Damage to your own SUV rental (that requires CDW/LDW)
• Your personal injuries (that requires PAI)
• Your personal belongings (that requires PEC)

Always review your rental agreement at the Saskatoon counter to confirm the exact liability limits included and whether additional coverage is appropriate for your trip.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your SUV rental in Saskatoon at the counter when you pick up the vehicle. The additional driver must be present in person and bring their valid driver's license, and an IDP if their license is not in English or uses a non-Latin alphabet.

Whether the additional driver fee is included depends on your rate:

• If your booking confirmation states additional driver is included, the first extra driver is free of charge.
• If it is not included, daily fees apply at the Saskatoon counter, which vary by partner brand.

Typical pay-at-counter fees for SUV rentals in Saskatoon are:

• Avis, Budget, Payless: CAD equivalent of US$13 per rental day, capped at US$65
• Hertz, Thrifty, Dollar: CAD equivalent of US$13.50 per rental day, capped at US$189
• Alamo, National, Enterprise: CAD equivalent of US$15 per day, no stated cap

Only drivers listed on the rental agreement are covered by CDW/LDW and liability protections. Never allow an unlisted person to drive your Saskatoon SUV rental, as this can void your coverage entirely.

Yes, one-way SUV rentals are possible in Saskatoon, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on your return location, the rental partner, and the vehicle class.

Here is what to expect for common one-way SUV rental routes from Saskatoon:

• Saskatoon Airport to downtown Saskatoon (or vice versa): often no drop-off fee
• Saskatoon to another Saskatchewan or Alberta city: a drop-off fee typically applies and varies by distance and SUV class
• Cross-border one-ways (for example, Saskatoon to a US city): may be restricted or carry significantly higher fees depending on the partner

The drop-off fee for your Saskatoon SUV rental will be shown during the booking process under the section labeled as the amount to pay at destination. It cannot be prepaid and is settled directly at the Saskatoon counter or the return location.

If you need to change your return location after booking, be aware that this may reprice your entire SUV rental and recalculate the drop-off fee. Always confirm the updated terms before making changes.
