No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your booking in Harrisburg 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 Harrisburg 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 van pickup at Harrisburg International Airport (MDT) is located inside the terminal complex, within walking distance of the arrivals area. No shuttle is required.

• After collecting your baggage, follow signs to the climate-controlled Skybridge
• Cross the Skybridge to the first floor of the car park
• Proceed to the hire car counters in the transportation centre on that same floor
• Your van will be parked in the adjacent car park, steps from the counter

Multiple partner brands operate at this consolidated facility, including Enterprise, National, Alamo, Avis, and Hertz. Counter hours run from 8:00 AM to 11:59 PM daily. If your flight arrives close to midnight, plan accordingly, as the counters close at 11:59 PM.

If you are picking up your van at a city centre location such as the Enterprise branch on Paxton Street or the Budget branch on Jonestown Road, those locations have more limited hours (typically 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM on weekdays), so confirm your pickup time before booking.

No, drivers under 25 cannot rent a van in Harrisburg. Van rentals, including 12-passenger and 15-passenger vans, are restricted to renters aged 25 and older at all partner locations in the United States.

This is not simply a surcharge situation. The van vehicle class is explicitly listed among the categories that require the renter to be at least 25. Even in states where rental companies must accept drivers aged 21 to 24 for standard vehicles, the van restriction still applies.

• Minimum age for a van hire in Harrisburg: 25 years old
• No young-renter surcharge option exists for vans, the class is simply unavailable to under-25 drivers
• This applies at both the Harrisburg airport (MDT) and city centre locations

If you are 21 to 24 years old and need transportation in Harrisburg, you may qualify for smaller vehicle classes such as economy, compact, or intermediate saloons, subject to a young-renter surcharge. Contact customer service via WhatsApp at +1 (786) 999-8312 to confirm availability for your specific booking.

To pick up your rental van in Harrisburg, you must present all of the following physical documents at the counter. Digital copies are not accepted.

• Original, unexpired driver’s licence in the main driver’s name
• International Driving Permit (IDP) if your licence uses a non-Latin alphabet such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic. An IDP is also recommended if your licence is not in English, though it is not mandatory for Latin-alphabet licences
• A major credit card physically printed with the main driver’s name, with sufficient available credit for the authorisation hold (typically US$300 to US$400 for standard vehicles in the United States)
• Passport or valid government-issued photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher if required
• Round-trip flight or travel tickets

The IDP is a translation document only and must be carried alongside your original licence. It cannot be used as a standalone document. All named drivers on the van hire agreement must present their own valid licence at the Harrisburg counter.

When driving your rental van from Harrisburg on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, you will encounter a fully cashless toll system. There are no cash booths. Tolls are recorded by overhead gantries using either a transponder in the vehicle or licence plate imaging.

• The Pennsylvania Turnpike uses E-ZPass for electronic tolling and Toll By Plate for plate-based billing
• Typical 2026 rates for a passenger vehicle: approximately US$1.94 per short segment with E-ZPass, or US$3.88 with Toll By Plate (roughly double)
• A route such as Harrisburg to Philadelphia (around 100 miles) may total US$8 to US$12 with E-ZPass, and more without it

At the Harrisburg counter, you can enrol your van in the rental company's toll programme, which typically costs US$11 to US$25 per day and covers tolls at E-ZPass rates. If you decline, the rental company will bill tolls via Toll By Plate to your card after the hire ends, plus administrative fees that can range from US$5 to US$15 per toll event.

Pennsylvania has no congestion charges or urban emissions zones. Tolls apply only to specific roads and bridges, not to driving within Harrisburg itself.

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

• Typical hold for standard vehicles in the United States: US$300 to US$400
• Van hires and larger vehicle classes may carry a higher hold than standard cars
• The exact amount is set by the rental company at the Harrisburg counter and may vary by brand, location, and season

You must present a physical major credit card printed with the main driver’s name. Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted for the deposit. A second backup credit card is strongly recommended in case your primary card is declined.

After you return the van, the hold is released. Your bank controls how quickly it appears back on your available credit, which can take up to 15 working days.

Yes, all Hola Car Rentals bookings include Tolls Cashback, which reimburses up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your van hire in Harrisburg and on any roads you drive during the trip.

This is especially useful when driving your van from Harrisburg onto the Pennsylvania Turnpike or other cashless toll roads in the region, where tolls can add up quickly on longer routes.

• The cashback covers the lesser of your actual toll costs or 5% of your Hola Car Rentals booking total
• Example: if your booking totals US$600, the cap is US$30. If you paid US$18 in tolls, you receive US$18 back
• To claim, email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the van

Include your Hola Car Rentals reservation confirmation, a copy of the hire agreement signed at the Harrisburg counter, and a receipt or statement showing the toll charges. Refunds are issued to your original payment method and typically process within 7 to 10 working days after approval. Late submissions after 30 days are not accepted.

Van hires in Harrisburg follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy. You receive the van with a full tank and must return it full to avoid fuel 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 fuel gauge before leaving the Harrisburg counter
• Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the return location so the gauge does not drop before you arrive
• Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address

If you return the van below the recorded starting level, the hire company may charge you for the fuel shortfall at their own refuelling rate, which is typically higher than pump prices, plus a service fee. For after-hours returns at the Harrisburg airport, leave your fuel receipt in the key envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge as evidence.

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

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your van hire in Harrisburg, but the extra driver must be present at the counter at pickup with their own valid driver’s licence.

• Some Hola Car Rentals rates include one additional driver at no extra cost. Check your booking confirmation for the line that reads "Additional driver free of charge"
• If not included, daily fees apply: Avis and Budget charge approximately US$13 per day (capped at US$65); Hertz, Dollar, and Thrifty charge approximately US$13.50 per day (capped at US$189); Alamo, National, and Enterprise charge approximately US$15 per day
• For Avis, Budget, and Payless, additional drivers must be at least 25 years old at pickup
• All additional drivers on a van hire must also meet the minimum age of 25

Only drivers listed on the hire agreement are covered by the van's protections such as CDW/LDW. If someone drives the van in Harrisburg who is not named on the contract, coverage may be void. Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the agreement at the Harrisburg counter.

After-hours van returns are available at Harrisburg International Airport (MDT) through Enterprise, which offers after-hours return capability at the airport facility. At the city centre Budget location on Jonestown Road, after-hours returns are handled via a drop box by the office door where you leave your completed contract and keys.

• For airport returns, follow the return lane signs in the car park adjacent to the terminal
• Leave your keys as instructed and keep a copy of all paperwork
• Take a photo of the van's condition, fuel gauge, and odometer before walking away
• For the Budget city centre drop box, place your completed contract and keys in the envelope provided

Be aware that when you drop off a van outside staffed hours, the rental company's inspection happens the next working day. Any damage noted at that point may be attributed to your hire period. Documenting the van's condition with photos at the time of return protects you if a dispute arises. Keep your fuel receipt as well, since the Full-to-Full policy still applies to after-hours returns in Harrisburg.

Whether insurance is included with your van hire in Harrisburg depends on the rate plan you selected at booking. Hola Car Rentals offers All Inclusive and All Inclusive+ rate plans for the United States, and the coverage differs between them.

• Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) reduces your financial liability for damage to the van itself, subject to any deductible shown on your confirmation
• Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI) covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving the van in Harrisburg or on Pennsylvania roads. Some U.S. states require a minimum liability inclusion, but not all do
• CDW/LDW does not cover tyres, undercarriage, or roof damage unless specifically included
• Only drivers named on the hire agreement are covered

Review your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation carefully to confirm which protections are included for your Harrisburg van hire. If LIS/ALI/SLI is not shown as included, it is strongly recommended that you add it, particularly when driving a large van on Pennsylvania highways where an at-fault incident could involve significant third-party costs.

Yes, one-way van hires from Harrisburg to another city are possible with several partner brands, but a drop-off fee typically applies and availability depends on the route and vehicle class.

• One-way fees are route-specific and vary by rental company, destination, season, and vehicle class. Vans often carry higher repositioning fees than standard cars
• The drop-off fee is listed under the "To pay at destination" section during checkout and on your booking confirmation. If no fee appears, the route does not incur one
• Cross-state one-way hires (for example, Harrisburg to New York or Harrisburg to Washington D.C.) usually carry a drop-off fee
• Cross-border one-ways (for example, into Canada) may be restricted or require prior partner approval

The drop-off fee cannot be prepaid and is paid at the Harrisburg counter or the return location. It is separate from fuel, tolls, and taxes. If the desk charges a different amount than shown on your confirmation, keep all paperwork and contact support, as the No Extra Charges© guarantee may apply to undisclosed fees.

Yes, Pennsylvania's Steer Clear law (75 Pa. C.S. 3327) applies to all drivers, including those operating a hire van in Harrisburg and on any Pennsylvania road.

• When you see an emergency vehicle, police car, tow truck, or disabled vehicle stopped on the roadside with lights activated, you must move over to a non-adjacent lane if it is safe to do so
• If changing lanes is not possible, you must slow down to a safe speed below the posted limit
• Violations can result in fines and a potential 90-day licence suspension

This law is particularly relevant when driving a large van in Harrisburg and on Pennsylvania motorways, where the size of the vehicle makes lane changes more deliberate. Plan extra following distance and be prepared to slow significantly when approaching any stopped emergency or service vehicle. The law applies regardless of whether you hold a foreign or domestic driver’s licence, and violations are the renter's responsibility under the hire agreement.

Yes, most Hola Car Rentals bookings include travel assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection, which can help in situations such as a van breakdown on a Pennsylvania motorway near Harrisburg. However, this benefit does not apply to customers who are residents of the United States or Canada.

• Core benefits include travel medical cover for up to 5 passengers, legal assistance in case of an accident, compensation for baggage lost by the airline, and flight cancellation insurance
• To activate assistance, call +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free, available 24/7) or contact via WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001
• Provide your full name, your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number (for example, HOLA1000000), your location on the Pennsylvania motorway, and a brief description of the situation

Note that travel assistance does not cover damage to the van itself (that is handled by CDW/LDW) or liability to third parties (covered by LIS/ALI/SLI). For mechanical breakdowns of the van, contact the roadside assistance number printed on your hire agreement, which connects you directly to the partner brand (Avis, Hertz, Enterprise, or whichever brand fulfilled your Harrisburg booking). Always check your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your reservation.
