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

Your minivan rental in Rhode Island is picked up at T.F. Green Airport (PVD), located at 700 Jefferson Blvd in Warwick. The rental counters for all major brands are consolidated at the airport's rental car facility, accessible from the terminal.

Brands offering minivan rentals at PVD include Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, National, and Payless. Follow the car rental signs from the arrivals level to reach the rental facility. After completing paperwork at the counter, you will be directed to the lot to collect your minivan.

Counter hours vary by brand. As a general guide:

• Budget: open daily 6:00 AM to 12:30 AM
• Enterprise: open daily 6:00 AM to 11:59 PM

If you are arriving outside these hours, check your booking confirmation for after-hours instructions. Some brands, such as Alamo, offer a key dropbox for after-hours minivan returns.

To collect your minivan rental in Rhode Island, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:

• A valid, original driver's license in the main driver's name
• A major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card, used 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 (required for visitors from outside the United States)

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 all other non-English licenses, an IDP is strongly recommended as a translation companion.

All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted at the rental counter. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit on your Rhode Island minivan rental.

Rhode Island uses the E-ZPass electronic toll system. The main toll road affecting minivan rental drivers is the Newport Bridge (also called the Claiborne Pell Bridge), which connects Newport on Aquidneck Island to Jamestown on Conanicut Island.

Typical toll rates for a standard passenger vehicle on the Newport Bridge:

• E-ZPass (non-resident): US$4.00
• Bill by Mail (no transponder, license plate capture): US$6.00

Rhode Island also has the RhodeWorks truck toll system at 12 locations on I-95, I-295, I-195, and other routes. These tolls apply only to heavy trucks, so your minivan rental is not charged at those gantries.

Your rental minivan will typically come equipped with a toll transponder. At the counter you can choose between an unlimited toll package (roughly US$11 to US$25 per day, depending on the brand) or a pay-per-use arrangement where actual tolls plus administrative fees are billed to your card after the rental. If you drive through a cashless toll without enrolling in a program, the rental company will bill the toll amount plus a processing fee, which can exceed US$15 per toll event.

Yes, every 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 Rhode Island rental.

This benefit is useful when crossing the Newport Bridge or any other toll point in Rhode Island or neighboring states during your minivan trip. You still pay tolls normally at the time of travel; the cashback is a post-rental reimbursement.

To claim your refund:

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

The refund is processed to the same payment method used for your booking and typically arrives within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Claims submitted after 30 days are not accepted, so keep your toll receipts and submit promptly after your Rhode Island minivan rental ends.

To rent a standard minivan in Rhode Island, you must be at least 25 years old. Minivans fall into a restricted vehicle class, and all major rental brands at T.F. Green Airport (PVD) apply this age requirement.

Drivers aged 21 to 24 are generally not permitted to rent a minivan in Rhode Island. If you need a vehicle for a group or family and are under 25, consider booking a smaller vehicle class such as a compact SUV or intermediate sedan, which are typically available to younger renters subject to a daily young-renter surcharge.

If you are renting a 12 to 15 passenger van as a larger minivan alternative through Enterprise in Rhode Island, the minimum age requirement is also 25, and additional liability insurance requirements apply.

Regardless of age, all renters must present a valid driver's license and a major credit card in the main driver's name for the security deposit hold. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted.

When renting a minivan in Rhode Island, two main types of coverage are worth considering: damage protection for the vehicle itself and liability protection for third parties.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) reduces your financial responsibility if the minivan is damaged or stolen. A deductible may still apply unless your confirmation explicitly states zero excess. CDW and LDW do not cover damage you cause to other vehicles or people.

For third-party liability, Supplemental Liability Insurance (SLI or LIS) covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving the minivan. Not all U.S. states require rental companies to include state-minimum liability, so confirming your coverage before picking up in Rhode Island is important.

If you are renting a 12 to 15 passenger van as a larger minivan alternative in Rhode Island, Enterprise requires that all renters and additional drivers carry liability insurance that extends to large passenger vans. Commercial policies must carry a minimum of US$1,000,000 in liability coverage.

Review your booking confirmation to see which protections are already included in your rate before accepting add-ons at the counter.

Your minivan rental in Rhode Island follows a Full-to-Full fuel policy. You receive the minivan with a full tank and must return it full to avoid refueling charges.

At pickup, verify 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 gauge and odometer before leaving the lot.

When returning your minivan at T.F. Green Airport (PVD) in Warwick, refuel within approximately 10 miles of the return location so the tank does not drop below full before you arrive. Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address.

If you return the minivan below the recorded starting level, the rental company may charge:

• A fuel shortfall at the partner's refueling rate, which is typically higher than retail pump prices
• An additional refueling service or handling fee

Rhode Island's average regular gasoline price is approximately US$3.00 to US$3.43 per gallon, comparable to neighboring Massachusetts. Minivans are less fuel-efficient than sedans, so Budget accordingly for your Rhode Island trip.

Most minivan rental bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include Travel Assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection at no extra cost. This benefit is designed for situations such as a medical emergency or accident while driving your minivan on Rhode Island roads or highways.

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

This benefit applies to non-North American customers. Residents of the United States and Canada do not qualify for Travel Assistance.

If you need help during your Rhode Island minivan rental, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day:

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

Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call. Always contact the assistance line before incurring medical expenses, as some reimbursements require prior authorization. Check your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your reservation.

When you pick up your minivan rental in Rhode Island, the rental company will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card. For standard vehicles in the United States, this hold is typically around US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount can vary by brand, location, and the specific minivan class reserved.

The hold is not a charge. It temporarily reduces your available credit and is released after you return the minivan, provided all rental terms are met. Your bank controls how quickly the hold disappears from your statement, which can take up to 15 business days.

Important requirements for the deposit on your Rhode Island minivan rental:

• You must present a physical, major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card
• The card must be in the main driver's name
• Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted for the deposit hold
• Ensure your card has sufficient available credit to cover the hold plus any expected charges

If your primary card is declined, you may use a second credit card in your own name. A third party's card is never accepted.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your minivan rental in Rhode Island, either as an included benefit or for a daily fee paid at the counter, depending on your rate.

Check your booking confirmation for the line that reads Additional driver free of charge. If it appears, the first extra driver is covered at no cost. If it does not appear, the daily fees by brand are approximately:

• Avis, Budget, and Payless: US$13 per day, capped at US$65 (plus taxes)
• Hertz, Thrifty, and Dollar: US$13.50 per 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 Rhode Island pickup counter with a valid driver's license and, if required, an International Driving Permit. 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.

For Avis, Budget, and Payless, additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old at the time of pickup in Rhode Island.

Yes, one-way minivan rentals in Rhode Island are possible, allowing you to pick up at T.F. Green Airport (PVD) and return the minivan at a different location, or vice versa. Whether a drop-off fee applies depends on the specific route, the rental brand, and the vehicle class.

General patterns to expect:

• Returning the minivan to a different city or state typically incurs a one-way drop-off fee
• Same-city airport to downtown returns may have no fee, but this varies by brand
• Long-distance or cross-country one-way minivan rentals usually carry higher fees

The drop-off fee is always shown during the booking process under the To pay at destination section of the checkout screen. Review your booking confirmation to confirm whether a fee applies to your Rhode Island minivan route before you travel.

This fee cannot be prepaid and is separate from mileage, fuel, and tolls. If the counter charges a different amount than what appears on your confirmation, keep all paperwork and contact support after the rental ends.

After-hours minivan returns at T.F. Green Airport (PVD) in Warwick, Rhode Island are available at select brands. Alamo, for example, provides a key dropbox at the rental facility for returns after the counter closes.

To complete an after-hours return of your Rhode Island minivan rental:

• Refuel the minivan before arriving at the airport, keeping your receipt as proof of a full tank
• Follow the signs to the rental car facility at PVD and park in the designated return area for your brand
• Place the keys in the key dropbox as instructed on the signage or in your rental agreement
• Take photos of the minivan's condition, the fuel gauge, and the odometer before dropping the keys
• Keep a copy of your rental agreement and fuel receipt

If you need to extend your Rhode Island minivan rental or expect a late return, contact the rental counter in advance. Budget's PVD counter can be reached directly, and most brands recommend calling ahead to avoid late return fees. The standard grace period before extra charges apply is typically 30 minutes past your agreed return time.

Yes, renting a minivan in Rhode Island at T.F. Green Airport (PVD) typically involves local taxes and airport-related fees on top of the base rental rate. These can include state rental taxes, airport concession recovery fees, and customer facility charges.

Whether these fees are included in your prepaid rate or due at the counter depends on your booking. Check your confirmation carefully:

• If your confirmation shows Taxes and Fees: Included, you should not be billed separately for those items at the PVD counter
• If your confirmation shows a Total to pay at destination, those listed amounts are legitimately due locally when you pick up the minivan

If you are charged for a fee that was not disclosed on your booking confirmation and that you did not voluntarily accept as an add-on, Hola Car Rentals' No Extra Charges© Coverage applies. Keep your itemized rental agreement and contact support after your Rhode Island minivan rental ends to request a review.

Off-airport minivan rental locations in Rhode Island may carry lower surcharges than PVD, though availability of minivans outside the airport is more limited.
