No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your minivan booking in Tampa 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 a minivan or any other vehicle class. This is a pricing guarantee (not insurance) that protects you if the counter in Tampa 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)

Yes, toll roads are common around Tampa, and nearly all of them are cashless, so your minivan rental will need to handle tolls electronically.

The main toll road in the Tampa area is the Selmon Expressway, along with several regional toll roads. Estimated toll costs for a typical day of driving a minivan in Tampa run approximately US$3 to US$10, depending on your route and how frequently you use toll roads.

Your rental minivan will already have an electronic toll device or a plate-based billing system installed. At the pickup counter you will typically have two options:

• Unlimited toll package: approximately US$11 to US$15 per rental day, covering all tolls during your rental period
• Pay per use: the rental company charges the actual toll amount plus daily or administrative processing fees, billed to your credit card after the rental

If you prefer to manage tolls yourself, you can opt out of the rental program at pickup and purchase Florida's own visitor toll pass. If you do this, ask the counter agent to deactivate the vehicle's default toll device to avoid being charged twice.

Note that toll charges sometimes appear on your card days or even weeks after you return the minivan, because toll agencies process invoices in batches.

To collect your minivan rental in Tampa you must bring a set of physical documents. Digital copies are not accepted at the counter.

• Your original, unexpired driver's license in the main driver's name
• A major credit card with the driver's name printed on the physical card, used for the security deposit hold
• A valid passport or government-issued photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets (required for visitors from outside the United States)

If your driver's license is not in English and not issued by an EU or EEA country, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is strongly recommended. An IDP is mandatory if your license uses a non-Latin alphabet such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic. The IDP is a translation only and must be carried alongside your original license.

Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit on a Tampa minivan rental, even if you prepaid your booking online. Bring a major credit card with sufficient available credit to cover the hold, which is typically US$300 to US$400 for standard vehicles in the United States.

No, drivers under 25 cannot rent a minivan in Tampa without restrictions. Minivans fall into a vehicle class that most rental partners restrict to drivers aged 25 and older.

Here is how age rules apply to minivan rentals in Tampa:

• Drivers 25 and older: no age surcharge, full access to minivan class
• Drivers 21 to 24: subject to a daily young-renter surcharge and are generally not permitted to rent a minivan, as the minivan category is restricted to 25 plus at most partner brands
• Drivers under 21: not eligible to rent in Florida outside of New York and Michigan exceptions, which do not apply in Tampa

The young-renter surcharge varies by partner. For example, Avis and Budget charge a daily fee with a monthly cap, while Alamo, National, and Enterprise charge a different daily rate. These fees are paid at the counter and are not included in your prepaid rate.

If you are between 21 and 24 and need a vehicle in Tampa, consider booking a smaller class such as an economy, compact, or intermediate SUV, which are more commonly available to younger drivers. Contact customer service before booking if you are unsure which classes are available for your age at your chosen Tampa location.

Yes, every Tampa minivan rental booked through Hola Car Rentals includes Tolls Cashback, which reimburses up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your rental.

This benefit is especially useful in Tampa, where the Selmon Expressway and other regional toll roads are fully cashless and tolls can add up to US$3 to US$10 per day depending on your route. You still pay tolls normally through the rental company's toll program or your own visitor pass, and then claim the cashback afterward.

To claim your Tolls Cashback after returning your Tampa minivan:

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

Refunds are issued to the same payment method used for your booking and typically process within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Claims submitted after 30 days are not accepted, so keep your toll receipts and submit promptly once you return the minivan.

When you pick up your minivan rental in Tampa, the rental partner will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card. This is not a charge; it reduces your available credit until the hold is released after you return the vehicle.

For standard vehicles in the United States, including minivans, the typical hold is approximately US$300 to US$400. However, the exact amount depends on the rental brand, the specific Tampa location, and the vehicle class. Minivans may carry a slightly higher hold than economy cars, so confirm the amount with the counter agent before signing.

Key things to know about the deposit on a Tampa minivan rental:

• Only a physical, major credit card in the main driver's name is accepted. The driver's name must be printed on the card.
• Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted for the deposit hold
• Digital wallets such as Apple Pay or Google Pay are not accepted for the hold
• After you return the minivan, the hold is released, but your bank controls when the credit reappears. This can take up to 15 business days.

Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined, and notify your bank of your travel to Tampa to prevent fraud blocks on the authorization.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Tampa minivan rental, either as part of your rate or for a fee paid at the counter.

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 it is not listed, a daily fee applies at the Tampa pickup counter:

• Avis, Budget, and Payless: US$13 per rental day, capped at US$65 (plus taxes)
• Hertz, Thrifty, and Dollar: US$13.50 per rental day, capped at US$189 (plus taxes)
• Alamo, National, and Enterprise: US$15 per day (plus taxes)

For Avis, Budget, and Payless, additional drivers must be at least 25 years old at pickup. All additional drivers must be present at the Tampa counter with a valid driver's license and any required IDP, and they must sign the rental agreement. Anyone who drives the minivan without being listed on the agreement will not be covered by the rental protections.

If you need to add a driver after pickup, visit a branch location to update the agreement. Phone or chat requests alone are generally not sufficient.

Your Tampa minivan rental uses a Full-to-Full fuel policy. You receive the minivan 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 rental agreement. Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and gauge before leaving the Tampa pickup location.

When returning your minivan in Tampa:

• Refuel within approximately 10 miles or 15 km of the return location so the gauge does not drop below full before you arrive
• Keep the fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address
• Take a photo of the full gauge at the pump as evidence

If you return the minivan 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 a refueling service fee. Returning the minivan full is always the most cost-effective option.

If the tank was not full when you picked up the minivan in Tampa, ask the agent to record the exact starting level on the agreement. You only need to return it at that same level.

Yes, minivan rentals in Tampa booked through Hola Car Rentals typically include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW), which reduces your financial liability for damage to the rental minivan from a collision, theft, or vandalism.

However, CDW and LDW do not cover everything. Common exclusions for Tampa minivan rentals include:

• Third-party liability: damage or injury you cause to other people or their property. This requires separate coverage such as LIS, ALI, or SLI.
• Tires, wheels, undercarriage, and roof damage, which are often excluded unless a specific add-on is purchased
• Incidents involving unauthorized drivers, meaning anyone not listed on the rental agreement
• Prohibited use such as off-road driving, DUI, or reckless driving

A deductible or excess may apply per incident unless your confirmation explicitly shows zero deductible. Check your booking confirmation to see the exact deductible amount for your Tampa minivan rental.

In Florida, state-minimum third-party liability is not automatically guaranteed on all rentals. Adding Liability Insurance Supplementary (up to US$300,000) is strongly recommended when renting a minivan in Tampa, especially if you plan to drive on busy expressways such as the Selmon Expressway.

Yes, one-way minivan rentals from Tampa to other Florida cities are generally available, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on your specific route.

The drop-off fee is set by the rental partner and varies by route, distance, vehicle class, and season. Minivans, as a larger vehicle class, may carry higher repositioning fees than economy cars on the same route. The fee will be shown during the booking process under the To pay at destination section, so you can see the exact amount before confirming your reservation.

Typical patterns for one-way minivan rentals from Tampa:

• Tampa to Orlando: a drop-off fee typically applies given the distance between cities
• Tampa to Miami: a drop-off fee typically applies
• Same-city airport to downtown Tampa: often no drop-off fee

Cross-border one-way rentals, for example taking a Tampa minivan into another country, are generally restricted or require prior partner approval and may carry significantly higher fees or not be permitted at all.

If you change your drop-off location after booking, the rental will be repriced and the drop-off fee may change. Always verify the fee on your confirmation before pickup and again at the Tampa counter to ensure it matches what was disclosed.

Yes, you can opt out of the rental company's toll program when picking up your Tampa minivan, but you need to plan ahead to avoid unexpected charges.

Florida's toll roads, including the Selmon Expressway in Tampa, are almost entirely cashless. If you opt out of the rental toll program and drive through a cashless gantry without any arrangement in place, the toll will be captured via plate-based billing, charged to the rental company, and then passed to you with added administrative fees. This can end up costing more than the toll program itself.

Your options when picking up a minivan in Tampa:

• Purchase the unlimited toll package at the counter: approximately US$11 to US$15 per day, covering all tolls for the rental period
• Opt out and pay per use: actual toll amounts plus daily or administrative processing fees billed after the rental
• Purchase Florida's own visitor toll pass before or at pickup and ask the counter agent to deactivate the minivan's built-in toll device to prevent duplicate charges

If you use your own toll pass, always confirm with the Tampa counter agent that the vehicle's default device has been deactivated. Moving a toll device between vehicles is not permitted and may result in penalties.

Yes, most Tampa minivan rentals booked through Hola Car Rentals include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection, at no additional cost.

This benefit is particularly useful if something goes wrong while driving a minivan in Tampa or on Florida's highways, such as a medical emergency on the road. Coverage typically includes:

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

To reach assistance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week:

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

When you call, have your full name, your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number, your current location in or around Tampa, and a brief description of the situation ready.

Important: this travel assistance benefit applies only to non-North American customers. Residents of the United States and Canada do not qualify for this coverage. It also does not cover damage to the rental minivan itself (that is CDW or LDW) or third-party liability (that is LIS or SLI).

If you return your Tampa minivan after the agreed drop-off time, a grace period of approximately 30 minutes typically applies, though this is not guaranteed at every location. After the grace period, the rental partner may charge for extra hours or an additional rental day, plus a late return fee.

To avoid late return charges on your Tampa minivan rental:

• Plan your return time to account for Tampa traffic and the time needed to refuel before dropping off the minivan
• If you know you need more time, contact the rental partner directly to request an extension before the scheduled return time. Extensions are subject to availability and may reprice your rental.
• Check your rental agreement for the exact grace period and late fee structure at your specific Tampa location

If you return the minivan earlier than agreed, note that prepaid rates are generally non-refundable for unused days. Early return does not automatically generate a refund, and the rental may be repriced depending on the partner's policy.

Counter hours at Tampa locations vary by branch and may differ on public holidays. Confirm the operating hours for your specific pickup and return location when you collect the minivan, so you can plan your return accordingly.

Yes, you can generally drive your Tampa minivan rental to other U.S. states, provided your rental agreement permits it and you stay within the allowed territory.

Most standard minivan rentals in Tampa allow interstate driving within the continental United States. However, there are important restrictions to be aware of:

• Cross-border travel into Mexico or Canada is typically not permitted without prior written approval from the rental partner, and many partners prohibit it entirely
• Some vehicle classes, including certain minivan configurations, may have specific territory restrictions listed in the rental agreement
• Driving into a restricted area can void your CDW or LDW coverage and your liability protection

Before leaving Tampa, review your rental agreement carefully for any geographic restrictions. If you plan to drive the minivan to a neighboring state such as Georgia or Alabama, this is generally permitted under standard terms, but always confirm with the counter agent at pickup.

If you need to return the minivan to a different city or state than where you picked it up in Tampa, a one-way drop-off fee will likely apply. This fee is shown during the booking process under the To pay at destination section and must be confirmed before you finalize your reservation.
