No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Thrifty booking in Las Vegas 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 Thrifty 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 Thrifty counter in Las Vegas 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 Thrifty 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)

When you arrive at Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) in Las Vegas, your Thrifty rental car is not picked up inside the terminal. The Thrifty counter is located at the Rent-A-Car Center, 7135 Gillespie Street, Las Vegas, NV 89119.

After collecting your luggage, follow the signs to the rental car shuttle stop outside the terminal. Take the shuttle bus marked for the Rent-A-Car Center, which runs continuously. The ride takes only a few minutes. Once at the facility, follow signs to the Thrifty counter.

The Thrifty location at this address operates daily from 6:00 AM to midnight. If your flight lands close to midnight, plan accordingly to ensure you arrive at the counter before closing. Bring your booking confirmation, a valid driver's license, and a major credit card in the main driver's name for the security deposit hold.

No, there are no toll roads anywhere in Nevada, so you will not encounter any tolls while driving your Thrifty rental car in Las Vegas or anywhere else in the state.

All public highways, interstates, and state routes in Nevada, including I-15, US-95, and the roads around the Las Vegas Strip, are completely toll-free. There are no cashless toll lanes, no transponder requirements, and no congestion charges or emissions zones of any kind.

Because Nevada has no tolls, Thrifty's PlatePass toll program is not relevant for driving within Las Vegas or the state. You will not be charged any toll-related fees during your rental.

If you plan to drive from Las Vegas into neighboring states such as California, toll roads may apply there. In that case, the Tolls Cashback benefit included with your booking allows you to claim up to 5% of your total booking value back for any tolls paid during your rental period. Submit your claim to [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle.

To pick up your Thrifty rental car in Las Vegas, you must bring the following physical documents to the counter:

• A valid, original driver's license in the main driver's name (not a digital copy)
• A major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card, for the security deposit hold
• A passport or valid government-issued photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
• Round-trip flight tickets or cruise tickets (required for international visitors)

If your driver's license is not in English and does not use a Latin (Roman) alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory. For licenses in other non-English scripts, an IDP is strongly recommended. The IDP is a translation only and must be carried alongside your original license.

All documents must be physical. Digital versions shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted at the Thrifty counter in Las Vegas. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit hold.

Yes, your Thrifty booking in Las Vegas includes the Tolls Cashback benefit, which is especially useful if you drive from Las Vegas into California or other states where toll roads exist.

Nevada itself has no toll roads, so no tolls will apply while driving within Las Vegas or anywhere in the state. However, if you cross into California, toll roads such as those managed by FasTrak may apply, and your Thrifty rental vehicle will have a toll device on board.

The Tolls Cashback benefit reimburses you for tolls paid during your rental, up to 5% of your total booking value. For example, if your booking total is US$500, the maximum cashback is US$25. If you paid US$18 in tolls, you receive US$18 back.

To claim, email [email protected] within 30 days of returning your Thrifty vehicle in Las Vegas. Include:

• Your Hola Car Rentals reservation confirmation
• A copy of the rental 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 business days after approval.

Yes, a major credit card is required to rent from Thrifty in Las Vegas. 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 pick-up, Thrifty will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card for the security deposit. For standard vehicles in the United States, this hold is typically around US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount depends on the vehicle class and location. The hold reduces your available credit until it is released after you return the car, which can take up to 15 business days depending on your bank.

Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual or digital-only cards are not accepted for the security deposit at the Thrifty counter in Las Vegas. Even if you prepaid your booking online, you must still present a physical major credit card at pick-up.

It is a good idea to bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined, and to notify your bank of your travel plans to avoid fraud blocks on the authorization.

The minimum age to rent from Thrifty in Las Vegas without a young-renter surcharge is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent but will be charged a daily young-renter surcharge at the counter.

For Thrifty specifically, the young-renter fee is approximately US$13.50 per rental day plus taxes, with a maximum cap of US$189 plus taxes. This fee is paid directly at the Thrifty counter in Las Vegas and is not included in your prepaid booking total.

Drivers under 25 are also restricted from renting certain vehicle classes. Categories such as luxury, premium, full-size SUV, convertible, minivan, and van are typically reserved for renters aged 25 and older. Compact, economy, and intermediate vehicles are generally available to younger renters.

Regardless of age, all renters must present a valid driver's license, a major credit card in their name, and meet all standard document requirements at the Thrifty counter in Las Vegas.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Thrifty rental in Las Vegas, either as part of your booking rate or by paying a fee at the counter.

Check your booking confirmation first. If it states that an additional driver is included, the first extra driver is free. If it is not included, Thrifty charges approximately US$13.50 per rental day plus taxes for an additional driver, with a maximum cap of US$189 plus taxes for the rental period.

To add an additional driver at the Thrifty counter in Las Vegas, the extra driver must be physically present at pick-up and must bring:

• A valid driver's license
• A passport or government-issued photo ID
• An International Driving Permit (IDP) if their license uses a non-Latin alphabet

Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement. Only drivers listed on the agreement are covered by the rental protections such as CDW/LDW. Anyone who drives the Thrifty vehicle in Las Vegas without being named on the contract may void coverage.

Yes, Thrifty operates several off-airport locations in Las Vegas that may offer lower rates than the Harry Reid International Airport facility, since airport locations typically include additional concession fees and surcharges.

Off-airport Thrifty locations in Las Vegas include:

• 4775 University Center Drive, Las Vegas, NV 89119 (Swenson Street location)
• 5905 W Sahara Avenue Unit A, Las Vegas, NV 89146 (West Sahara location)

Renting from an off-airport Thrifty location in Las Vegas can reduce the fees built into airport rentals, such as airport concession recovery fees and customer facility charges. However, you will need to arrange your own transportation from the airport to the off-airport counter, which adds time and cost to consider.

When comparing rates, review your booking confirmation carefully. Any taxes and fees due at pick-up will be listed under the total to pay at destination section, so you can compare the true cost between airport and off-airport Thrifty options in Las Vegas before booking.

Most bookings include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection, which can be valuable if something goes wrong during your Las Vegas trip or while driving your Thrifty rental in Nevada or nearby states.

This coverage typically includes:

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

If you experience a medical emergency or need legal help after an accident while driving your Thrifty rental in Las Vegas, contact the assistance line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free). You can also reach them via WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001 or by email at [email protected]. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call.

Important: this travel assistance benefit does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada. It is designed for international travelers visiting Las Vegas. Check your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your reservation.

Your Thrifty rental in Las Vegas uses a Full-to-Full fuel policy. This means you receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid fuel charges.

At pick-up, confirm the fuel level with the Thrifty agent and make sure the starting level is recorded on your rental agreement. Take a photo of the dashboard showing the fuel gauge before leaving the lot.

When returning your Thrifty vehicle in Las Vegas, 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 as proof in case of any dispute.

If you return the vehicle with less than a full tank, Thrifty 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. Returning the car full is always the most cost-effective option.

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

Your Thrifty rental in Las Vegas may include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) depending on the rate plan you selected. Check your booking confirmation to see exactly what is included.

CDW/LDW reduces your financial liability if the Thrifty vehicle is damaged in a collision, stolen, or vandalized. A deductible may still apply unless your confirmation explicitly states zero deductible. CDW/LDW does not cover damage to other vehicles or injuries to other people.

For third-party liability, which covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving your Thrifty rental in Las Vegas, you may need to add Liability Insurance Supplementary (LIS/ALI/SLI). Some U.S. states require a minimum level of liability, but not all do. Adding supplemental liability up to US$300,000 is strongly recommended.

CDW/LDW and LIS/ALI/SLI are separate protections. To be fully covered while driving in Las Vegas, you ideally want both. Review your Thrifty rental agreement at pick-up to confirm what is active on your contract before driving away.

Driving a Thrifty rental car on the Las Vegas Strip involves a few road conditions that can surprise drivers who are not familiar with the area.

Because extreme heat causes painted lane markings to melt on major roads including the Strip, Las Vegas uses Botts' Dots, which are raised pavement markers, instead of painted lines to separate lanes. These produce an audible thud and a vibration when your tires cross them. If you are expecting visual lane lines, this can be disorienting at first, especially at night.

Downtown Las Vegas also features a one-way street system. Bonneville Avenue runs eastbound and Clark Avenue runs westbound between Las Vegas Boulevard and Maryland Parkway. These streets have sensors that detect wrong-way driving, but it is important to pay attention to signage when navigating this area in your Thrifty rental.

Nevada has no toll roads, so you will not encounter any toll plazas or cashless toll lanes while driving your Thrifty vehicle in Las Vegas. There are also no congestion charges or emissions zones anywhere in the state.

Yes, it is possible to pick up a Thrifty rental car in Las Vegas and return it in a different city, but a one-way drop-off fee may apply depending on your route.

One-way fees are route-specific and vary based on the cities involved, the distance, the vehicle class, and the season. When you search for a one-way rental on the booking platform, any applicable drop-off fee will be shown on the rate details page under the section labeled to pay at destination. This fee cannot be prepaid and is paid directly to Thrifty at the counter in Las Vegas.

Common patterns to be aware of:

• Returning to another city in Nevada or a nearby state often incurs a drop-off fee
• Cross-border one-ways, such as Las Vegas to a location in California, may be permitted but typically carry higher fees
• Some routes between close locations may have no drop-off fee at all

If you change your return location after booking, the rental may be repriced and the drop-off fee recalculated. Always confirm the drop-off fee shown on your Thrifty booking confirmation before picking up in Las Vegas.
