No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your minivan booking in Detroit 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 Detroit 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)

All minivan rental brands at Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW) operate from a centralized Rental Car Campus located at the northeast corner of the airport along Lucas Drive. Specific counters include Enterprise at 289 Lucas Dr and Alamo at 338 Lucas Dr, Detroit, MI 48242.

After collecting your baggage, follow the Ground Transportation signs to the lower level of your terminal. A shared courtesy shuttle runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, picking up outside both the McNamara Terminal (serving Delta flights) and the Evans Terminal (serving all other airlines).

• Shuttles depart approximately every 10 minutes
• Travel time from terminal to the Rental Car Campus is roughly 5 to 10 minutes (allow 7 minutes from the closest terminal and 11 minutes from the farthest)
• From baggage claim to driving away in your Detroit minivan, plan for approximately 15 to 25 minutes under normal conditions

Counter hours vary by brand. Avis is open 24 hours a day. Enterprise operates from 5:30 AM to 11:59 PM daily but offers 24-hour shuttle service. Confirm your brand's hours on your booking confirmation before arrival.

Yes, after-hours returns are accepted at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport Rental Car Campus on Lucas Drive.

Drive your minivan directly to your rental brand's return area at the campus. After leaving the vehicle, a shuttle will transport you back to your terminal's Ground Transportation Center.

For after-hours drop-offs specifically, the process is:

• Park and lock the minivan in your agency's designated return area
• Take your completed contract and keys to the main counter (no drop box is available at DTW)
• Keep a photo of the fuel gauge and odometer before walking away

Note that under a Full-to-Full fuel policy, you must return the Detroit minivan with the same fuel level recorded at pick-up. Refuel within roughly 10 miles of the campus before returning to avoid refueling charges and service fees. Keep your receipt as proof in case a dispute arises after the rental closes.

Michigan has a limited number of toll facilities rather than extensive toll highways, but there are a few important ones to know before driving your Detroit minivan rental.

• Detroit-Windsor Tunnel (I-75 connecting Detroit to Windsor, Ontario): cashless only, no cash accepted. Toll is approximately US$6.50, or US$5.75 via the Nexpress app
• Mackinac Bridge (I-75, connecting the Upper and Lower Peninsulas): approximately US$4 for a standard 2-axle vehicle; cash is accepted
• Grosse Ile Toll Bridge (linking Riverview to Grosse Ile Township): approximately US$3 cash or higher by credit card; an Edge Pass discount is available

Michigan does not use E-ZPass, SunPass, or similar statewide electronic systems. Where cash is not accepted, cameras capture your minivan's license plate and a mailed invoice is sent to the rental company, which then bills you plus an administrative fee (often around US$15 per toll).

At the Detroit counter, you can opt into your rental brand's toll program (such as Enterprise TollPass or Avis e-Toll) for a daily fee of approximately US$3.95 to US$10.99, or an unlimited daily pass at roughly US$10.99 to US$25.99. Review the terms before signing, as daily caps and weekly maximums vary by brand.

Yes, all Hola Car Rentals bookings include Tolls Cashback, which reimburses up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your Detroit minivan rental.

This is especially useful if you use the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel (approximately US$6.50), the Mackinac Bridge (approximately US$4), or the Grosse Ile Toll Bridge (approximately US$3 to US$7) during your trip.

To claim your cashback after returning the minivan:

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

The refund is issued to the same payment method used for your booking and typically processes within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Claims submitted after 30 days are not accepted. This benefit covers toll charges only, not administrative fees, fines, or parking tickets.

To pick up your minivan rental in Detroit, you must present the following physical documents at the counter (digital copies are not accepted):

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

If your driver's license 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 cannot be used without the original license.

Michigan state law requires rental companies at Detroit to rent to licensed drivers aged 18 and older, though a young-renter surcharge applies for drivers under 25. Note that minivans are typically restricted to renters aged 25 and older, so confirm your eligibility before booking this vehicle class.

Yes, a physical major credit card in the main driver's name is required to rent a minivan in Detroit. Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual or digital-wallet cards are not accepted for the security deposit hold.

At the Detroit counter, the rental brand will place a temporary authorization (hold) on your card. For standard vehicles in the United States, this is typically around US$300 to US$400, though the amount can be higher for a minivan or premium vehicle class. The hold reduces your available credit until your bank releases it after the rental closes, which can take up to 15 business days.

• The card must be physical, with the driver's name printed on it
• Even if you prepaid your Detroit minivan booking online, you still must present a credit card at the counter for the hold
• Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined
• Notify your bank of your travel plans to prevent fraud blocks on an in-person authorization

If another person wants to pay, they must be listed as the main driver on the rental agreement.

Michigan state law requires rental companies in Detroit to rent to licensed drivers aged 18 and older, which is an exception to the standard U.S. minimum of 25. However, renting a minivan in Detroit as a driver under 25 comes with important restrictions.

Minivans are classified as a restricted vehicle category. Most rental brands limit minivan rentals to drivers aged 25 and older, regardless of Michigan's general 18-plus rule. This means that even though you can rent a standard car in Detroit at 18, you may not be eligible to rent a minivan specifically until you are 25.

• Drivers aged 21 to 24 are subject to a daily young-renter surcharge at the Detroit counter
• Drivers aged 18 to 20 face the same surcharge and even stricter class restrictions
• The young-renter fee disappears at age 25

If you are aged 21 to 24 and from Latin America or the Caribbean, certain Hola Car Rentals rates with Avis or Budget may waive the underage fee, but this exception applies only to eligible vehicle categories such as economy, compact, and standard sedans, not to minivans. Confirm your eligibility before booking a Detroit minivan.

If you do not enroll in a toll program at the Detroit counter, you can pay some tolls directly where cash or card is accepted. However, for cashless facilities like the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, cameras will capture your minivan's license plate and send an invoice to the rental company.

The rental company then bills you for:

• The original toll amount (for example, approximately US$6.50 for the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel)
• An administrative or processing fee, often around US$15 per toll event

These charges frequently appear on your credit card days or even weeks after you return the minivan, because toll agencies process invoices in batches. This is normal and not an error.

To avoid surprise post-rental charges on your Detroit minivan, consider one of these options at pick-up:

• Enroll in the rental brand's toll program (approximately US$3.95 to US$25.99 per day depending on the plan and brand)
• Pay tolls directly in cash where accepted (Mackinac Bridge and Grosse Ile Toll Bridge accept cash)
• Use the Nexpress app for a discounted rate on the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel

If you believe a toll charge on your final receipt is incorrect, gather your rental agreement, toll invoice, and booking confirmation, then contact support for review.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Detroit minivan rental, either as a benefit included in your rate or by paying a daily fee at the counter.

Check your booking confirmation first. If it states "Additional driver free of charge," the first extra driver is covered. If not, the daily fees at Detroit counters are:

• 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)

The additional driver must be present at the Detroit pick-up counter with a valid driver's license and any required ID. Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement. Anyone who drives the minivan without being listed on the agreement is not covered by the rental protections (CDW/LDW or liability coverage).

For Avis, Budget, and Payless, additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old at pick-up. If the additional driver is under 25, a young-renter surcharge may apply or they may not be accepted, depending on the Detroit location's rules.

The insurance included with your Detroit minivan rental depends on the rate plan you selected at booking. Check your confirmation carefully before arriving at the counter.

The two main protections to look for are:

• Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): reduces your financial liability for damage to the minivan itself from a collision, theft, or vandalism. 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.
• Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI): covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving the Detroit minivan. Some U.S. states require a minimum level of liability, but not all do. Adding supplemental liability coverage (up to US$300,000) is strongly recommended.

CDW/LDW typically excludes tires, undercarriage, roof damage, and loss of use fees, so review the full rental agreement at the Detroit counter before signing.

If you drive an unlisted driver in the minivan, or use it for prohibited purposes such as off-road driving or rideshare, coverage may be voided. Report any incident to the rental partner immediately using the number on your confirmation.

Yes, one-way minivan rentals from Detroit to another city are possible, but a drop-off fee typically applies and the amount varies by route, rental brand, vehicle class, and season.

When searching for your Detroit minivan on the Hola Car Rentals website, select a different return location. The drop-off fee, if applicable, will appear on the rate details page under the "To pay at destination" section before you complete the booking. This fee cannot be prepaid and is paid at the Detroit counter.

• Same-city routes (for example, Detroit airport to a downtown Detroit location) often carry no drop-off fee
• Routes to other Michigan cities or neighboring states usually incur a drop-off fee that varies by distance and vehicle class
• Cross-border one-ways (for example, Detroit to Canada) may be restricted or carry higher fees depending on the rental brand's policy

If you need to change your return location after booking, contact support as soon as possible. Mid-rental route changes must be approved by the partner location and may increase the fee or affect minivan availability. Always verify the drop-off fee on your confirmation matches what the Detroit counter presents at pick-up.

Yes, most Hola Car Rentals bookings include travel assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection, and this applies to your Detroit minivan rental as well. However, this benefit is available only to non-North American customers. Residents of the United States and Canada do not qualify.

If you are eligible, the coverage typically includes:

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

This is particularly relevant if you experience a medical emergency or accident while driving your Detroit minivan on Michigan highways or during a longer trip such as to the Mackinac Bridge area. Pre-existing medical conditions are not covered.

To get help 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]

Have your full name, Hola Car Rentals confirmation number (for example, HOLA1000000), your location, and a brief description of the situation ready. Always contact assistance before incurring expenses, as some reimbursements require prior authorization.

The most commonly available minivan models for rental in Detroit include the Chrysler Pacifica and the Dodge Caravan, both of which are offered at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW) Rental Car Campus on Lucas Drive.

When booking a Detroit minivan, keep in mind that rental companies follow a similar vehicle policy rather than guaranteeing a specific model. This means you are booking a vehicle category (minivan) and will receive a model within that class, which may be a Chrysler Pacifica, Dodge Caravan, or a comparable substitute depending on availability at the time of pick-up.

• Minivans typically seat 7 passengers and offer generous cargo space, making them well suited for groups or families arriving at Detroit Metropolitan Airport
• Specific models and trim levels vary by rental brand and availability on your travel dates
• If a particular feature such as all-wheel drive or a hybrid powertrain is important, confirm availability directly with the rental brand at the Detroit counter, as these are not guaranteed

To secure a Detroit minivan for your travel dates, booking in advance is recommended, especially during peak travel periods when larger vehicle classes tend to sell out first.
