No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your booking in Myrtle Beach 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 Myrtle Beach 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 SUV hire counter at Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR) is located at 1097 Jetport Rd, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577, in a consolidated Rental Car Centre that is a short walk from the terminal. No shuttle or train is needed.

The process works as follows:

• After baggage claim, follow the car hire signs towards the Rental Car Centre on Jetport Rd
• Some brands such as National have their counter inside the terminal; you complete paperwork there, then walk to the Rental Car Centre to collect your SUV
• Budget and similar brands operate directly from the Rental Car Facility at 1097 Jetport Rd
• Allow roughly 20 to 45 minutes from terminal arrival to driving away: baggage claim (5 to 15 min), walk to counter (5 min), paperwork and inspection (10 to 20 min), and vehicle retrieval (5 min)

Airport counter hours are generally 7 AM to midnight or later daily, making them the most convenient option for SUV pickups in Myrtle Beach.

Yes, you can pick up your SUV hire at city centre locations in Myrtle Beach, though there are important differences compared to the airport.

City centre options include Coastal Grand Mall at 780 Coastal Grand Cir, Suite V-10, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577 (Avis), as well as locations on 911 Jason Blvd and 10820 North Kings Road.

Key differences to keep in mind:

• City centre counters typically operate shorter hours, around 8 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday, with reduced weekend hours (often 9 AM to noon Saturday, 10 AM to 1 PM Sunday)
• There is no direct shuttle from Myrtle Beach International Airport to city centre locations; you would need a rideshare or taxi
• SUV availability may be more limited at city branches compared to the airport Rental Car Centre
• After-hours key drop is generally not available at city locations

If you are arriving by plane, the airport Rental Car Centre at 1097 Jetport Rd is almost always the more practical choice for picking up your Myrtle Beach SUV hire.

To pick up your SUV hire in Myrtle Beach, you must bring the following physical documents to the counter:

• A valid, original driver’s licence in the main driver’s name
• A major credit card with the driver’s name printed on the card, for the security deposit authorisation hold (debit and prepaid cards are not accepted)
• A passport or valid government photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets (required for international visitors)

If your driver’s licence 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 licences in other non-English scripts, an IDP is strongly recommended. The IDP is a translation only and must be carried alongside your original licence.

All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies shown on a phone are not accepted at the Myrtle Beach SUV hire counter. A backup credit card in your name is also a smart precaution in case your primary card is declined.

Yes, all Hola Car Rentals bookings include Tolls Cashback, which applies to your Myrtle Beach SUV hire whether you encounter tolls locally or while driving to other parts of South Carolina.

South Carolina's primary toll road is the Southern Connector on Interstate 185 near Greenville, which uses the PalPass (Palmetto Pass) electronic system. If you drive your Myrtle Beach SUV hire towards that region, toll charges may apply.

How Tolls Cashback works:

• You receive up to 5% of your total booking value back for tolls paid during your hire
• Example: if your booking total is US$600, the maximum cashback is US$30
• If you paid US$18 in tolls, you receive US$18 back; if you paid US$50, you receive US$30 (the cap)

To claim, email [email protected] within 30 days of returning your Myrtle Beach SUV. Include your Hola Car Rentals reservation confirmation, the signed hire agreement, and a receipt or statement showing toll charges. Refunds are processed to your original payment method within 7 to 10 working days after approval.

Myrtle Beach itself does not have toll roads, but if you drive your SUV hire beyond the Myrtle Beach area into other parts of South Carolina, you may encounter the Southern Connector on Interstate 185, a 16-mile toll road near Greenville.

The Southern Connector uses the PalPass (also called Palmetto Pass) electronic system. Payment options include:

• PalPass transponder (electronic, cashless lanes)
• Cash with exact change at certain ramps (Highway 20 and Fork Shoals Road)
• Credit or debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover) at mainline plazas only; PIN debit is not accepted

Typical toll costs range from US$0.075 to US$3.00 for the full 16-mile stretch.

Your Myrtle Beach SUV hire vehicle comes equipped with an electronic toll device. At pickup you can choose:

• An unlimited toll package (approximately US$3.95 to US$4.95 per day, capped per hire period) that covers electronic lanes automatically
• Pay-per-use, where the hire company bills actual tolls plus administrative fees (often US$15 per toll event) after the hire ends

If you do not enrol in a toll programme and drive through a cashless lane, the hire company will charge the toll at the highest undiscounted rate plus processing fees.

The minimum age to hire an SUV in Myrtle Beach without a young-driver surcharge is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can hire but will pay a daily underage fee and face vehicle class restrictions.

Important age-related rules for Myrtle Beach SUV hires:

• Drivers under 25 are typically restricted from hiring full-size SUVs, premium SUVs, and other higher vehicle classes
• Compact SUVs and intermediate SUVs are generally the categories available to drivers aged 21 to 24
• Young-driver surcharge amounts vary by partner: 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

If you are from Latin America or the Caribbean and are aged 21 to 24, certain Hola Car Rentals rates with Avis or Budget may waive the underage fee for eligible SUV categories. Check your booking confirmation to see if this waiver is included.

Regardless of age, all drivers must present a valid licence and a major credit card in their name for the security deposit at the Myrtle Beach counter.

For an SUV hire in Myrtle Beach, the security deposit is a temporary authorisation hold placed on your credit card at pickup, not an actual charge. Typical holds for standard vehicles in the United States range from US$300 to US$400, but SUV and larger vehicle classes can result in higher holds.

Key things to know about the deposit for your Myrtle Beach SUV hire:

• The hold reduces your available credit until your bank releases it after the hire ends
• Banks can take up to 15 working days to reflect the release, even after the hire company closes the contract
• Only a physical, major credit card with the driver’s name printed on the card is accepted; debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted
• The exact hold amount is set by the hire company at the counter and may vary by brand, season, and specific SUV class

To prepare, ensure your card has sufficient available credit above the estimated hold amount, notify your bank of your travel to Myrtle Beach to prevent fraud blocks, and bring a backup credit card in your name as a precaution.

Most Hola Car Rentals bookings include travel assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection, which can be valuable if an unexpected situation arises during your Myrtle Beach SUV hire, such as a medical emergency on the road or a flight cancellation affecting your trip.

Core benefits typically included:

• Travel and medical cover for up to 5 passengers
• Legal assistance in case of an accident
• Compensation for luggage lost by the airline
• Flight cancellation insurance

This cover does not apply to US or Canadian residents. It is designed for international visitors travelling abroad.

If you need assistance during your Myrtle Beach SUV hire, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day:

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

Have your full name and Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call. This travel assistance does not cover damage to the hire SUV itself (that is handled by CDW/LDW) or third-party liability (covered by LIS/SLI). Always review your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your reservation.

Your Myrtle Beach SUV hire uses a Full-to-Full fuel policy. You receive the SUV with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.

Steps to follow:

• 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
• Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the Myrtle Beach return location so the gauge does not drop before you arrive
• Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address
• For after-hours returns at the Myrtle Beach airport facility on Jetport Rd, leave the receipt in the key drop envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge

If you return the SUV 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 refuelling service fee. Returning the tank full is always the most cost-effective option for your Myrtle Beach SUV hire.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your SUV hire in Myrtle Beach, either at no cost or for a daily fee depending on your rate.

Check your booking confirmation first. If it states "Additional driver free of charge," the first extra driver is included. If not, fees vary by partner:

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

Requirements for adding a driver to your Myrtle Beach SUV hire:

• The additional driver must be present at the counter at pickup
• They must show a valid driver’s licence and sign the hire agreement
• They must meet the minimum age requirements; for Avis, Budget, and Payless, additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old
• If their licence is not in a Latin alphabet, an IDP is required

Only drivers listed on the hire agreement are covered by protections such as CDW/LDW. Anyone who drives the Myrtle Beach SUV without being named on the contract may void coverage.

Yes, one-way SUV hires from Myrtle Beach to another city are available, though a drop-off fee may apply depending on your route and the hire partner.

How one-way fees work for Myrtle Beach SUV hires:

• The drop-off fee is route-specific and varies by hire company, destination, season, and vehicle class; larger SUVs can carry higher repositioning fees
• The fee is shown during the booking process under the "To pay at destination" section and will also appear on your booking confirmation
• This fee cannot be prepaid and is paid at the counter
• Same-city returns (for example, airport to downtown Myrtle Beach) often carry no drop-off fee
• Long-distance routes to other states typically do carry a one-way fee

Cross-border one-way hires (for example, from Myrtle Beach to Canada) are often restricted or require prior partner approval. Always check your confirmation for the exact drop-off fee before finalising your Myrtle Beach SUV hire booking. If the counter charges a different amount than shown on your confirmation, keep all paperwork and contact support.

For your Myrtle Beach SUV hire, two main types of coverages are worth understanding before you arrive at the counter.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) covers damage to the hire SUV itself from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation shows zero deductible. CDW/LDW does not cover damage you cause to other vehicles or people.

Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI) covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving your Myrtle Beach SUV hire. Note that not all US states require hire companies to include state-minimum liability; Hola Car Rentals strongly recommends adding Liability Insurance Supplementary (up to US$300,000) to your booking.

Common mistakes to avoid:

• Assuming CDW/LDW means full cover; it only protects the hire SUV, not third parties
• Forgetting to add all additional drivers to the agreement; unnamed drivers may void cover
• Ignoring the deductible amount; plan for your out-of-pocket exposure unless your plan states zero

Review your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation to confirm which coverages are included in your Myrtle Beach SUV hire rate before pickup.

Yes, after-hours SUV returns are available at the Myrtle Beach airport facility. The Rental Car Centre at 1097 Jetport Rd, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577 has a key drop available for brands such as Budget and National, allowing you to return your SUV outside of staffed counter hours.

Steps for an after-hours SUV return in Myrtle Beach:

• Refuel your SUV within approximately 10 miles of the return location before arriving
• Take a photo of the dashboard showing the fuel gauge at full and the odometer reading
• Place the keys in the designated key drop box at the Rental Car Centre
• Keep your fuel receipt and place a copy in the return envelope if provided
• Keep all photos and paperwork until your final hire receipt is issued

Be aware that when you drop off after hours, the vehicle has not yet been formally inspected by staff. Any damage noted during the next working day inspection could still be attributed to your hire period. Documenting the SUV's condition with photos at the time of return in Myrtle Beach is strongly recommended. City centre locations in Myrtle Beach generally do not offer after-hours key drop, so the airport facility is the best option for late returns.
