Skip the line, start the engine. Here’s how to breeze past counters with express pick‑up lanes, digital keys, and smarter app habits—whether you land at Newark Airport car rental or head straight to Las Vegas car hire near LAS.
Express pick‑up, step by step
- Check in before you fly: Upload your license and payment method in the app. Many partners let you choose or confirm a vehicle class ahead of time.
- Follow the signs: Look for “Express,” “Preferred,” or “Ready Line.” Your name or space number will appear in‑app or on a lot screen.
- Snap the walk‑around: Take quick photos of each side and the dash before you drive off.
Digital keys & smart locks
Some fleets now offer app‑based unlock and ignition—perfect after a long flight into terminals like those near express lanes at LAX. Keep Bluetooth on, enable precise location, and carry the physical key card (if provided) as a backup.
App tips that actually save time
- Enable push alerts: Gate and stall changes appear instantly.
- Download the offline barcode: Your reservation QR works even without service.
- Add a second driver digitally: Many partners let you pre‑authorize extra drivers before arrival.
- Save your fuel plan: Decide on prepay vs. return‑full, then stick to it.
Booking through Hola Car Rentals adds peace of mind: No additional fees, save 60% guaranteed, and maximum liability coverage on select itineraries. That means more time driving and less time waiting—from Orlando fast-track pick‑ups to the SFO counters.
Final tip: If your flight is delayed, message support in‑app. Agents can adjust your pick‑up window so your car remains ready when you arrive.
