"By far cheaper than all rental car offers."
Sharon Radford
"Quick and easy"
Bill Harshbarger
"I really liked the reservation screen for pickup times...side by side let's you easy match pick-up drop off.
The vehicles were the best price (discounted prices for European travelers in the US at thus writing), otherwise rental car prices are rather high these days.
Insurance is about peace of mind. Hola is over the top covering many of those extras the agent wants you to buy.
And toll coverage up to 5%. Super. Without human attendants anymore, it's complicated in the Bay Area and particularly expensive in Miami (!) Auto companies see it as an opportunity to sell you lots of Toll coverage.
Finally, what I did not notice was, "not knowing what I was renting" which is often noticed just before you press 'book'. The question did not enter my mind, that's a good thing.
Their AI agent, perfectly better. Very good advice.
And I did have the need to cancel and rebook. With the app, effective and bug free. One refund was credited in a hour. Another may take a few days, but will post. Also the app will display prices in the currency you select.
Looking forward to booking with Hola again"

"This is not the first time we’ve rented cars through Hola, and each time we’re absolutely satisfied! Their service is excellent — always available, providing immediate responses, quickly solving any issues with kindness, and handling everything directly with the rental companies when needed.
Even when a refund was required, they took care of it fully without any hassle. The personal, reliable, and professional approach makes all the difference.
A fantastic experience every time, and I’ll definitely keep renting through them and highly recommend them to everyone"

"Searching for two weeks car hire in Florida. Hola were very competitive against the group I wanted to book, the website was easy to use and confirmation received immediately"
Dwight Thompson
"The experience was excellent, fast and easy with the least effort required to chose a car. From past experience the counter experience was favourable at Budget Miami Airport with no issues. This was the first time an agent at a rental desk did not try to sell me additional insurance or toll pass.
My only concerns for this booking was the price gap was too high for standard cars compared to the basic cars."
Steve Hornby
"Very easy to book
Very easy to pay
And the best deal I could find by quite a long way
Added price of mind was the 4.8 stars on trust pilot with 3000+ ratings"
mandy hughes
"Unfortunately I had to cancel my booking with Hola Car Rentals for personal reasons. I was assisted by the Sales Manager Karen to do this. After completing the cancellation efficiently and promptly she went above and beyond to help me with several additional questions I had. Based on my experience I would highly recommend Hola Car Rentals Customer service and would definitely use them again. Their rental prices were very competitive too."
Natalia Vazquez Sotelo
"I highly recommend Hola Car for their excellent service and great price. We arrived many hours late and were worried, but they answered all my questions immediately, even though it was a Sunday. Thank you so much for your help!"
Chris Burnham
"great prices easy to book definitely use again"
constanza cecchi
"The app is great and reliable. Although they try to add extra insurance when you arrive to pick up the car, you just have to insist and say no. Otherwise, everything is fine."
Alejandro Arenal

Thanks"

"Good car and price"
Wheeling and dealing Uk
"Cheap and easy to use covers all insurances etc seems to have been made easy"
차Mihye
"As a Korean, I used the app to rent a car in California. The Dollar Rent-a-Car employee at the San Francisco branch was rude and insisted I purchase additional insurance ($25 per day) because the insurance I purchased through the Hola app was inadequate. However, Hola insisted that the full coverage policy applied and helped me cancel the additional insurance I had purchased at the Dollar Rent-a-Car location. I'm satisfied with Hola's customer service, but I think the Dollar Rent-a-Car employee's practice of selling additional insurance needs to be addressed."

"The WhatsApp service is excellent and personalized. When you arrive at the rental agency, they try to sell you a bunch of extras that are already included, but when you show them you booked through Hola, they don't offer anything else; they just give you the vehicle and you don't pay anything. Renting a car through them is a guarantee."

"It was seamless and I’m yet to see how it goes when I present my hola booking at the airport."
Annanii Garcia
"The rental process was very simple. We got Hertz; the pickup is on Sunday, let's see how it is. It has very good reviews."
Keith Semple
"Wow! My first booking with Hola didn’t just meet expectations — they absolutely exceeded them in every possible way. So much so, that I made another rental booking immediately. I’m not usually someone who takes the time to write reviews, but this experience was so exceptional that I felt compelled to share it.
At first, I thought I had secured a great price — but when I carefully reviewed the list of inclusions, I was genuinely blown away. In fact, it almost seemed too good to be true. I found myself double- and triple-checking my bookings, convinced there must have been some sort of system error. But no — everything was exactly as promised, and more - with NO extra cost.
What truly stood out was the reaction from others. When I shared the pricing and inclusions with the Avis desk at the airport, hotel staff, as well as family and friends, they were equally astonished. Several even asked for your details on the spot — which says everything about the incredible value and service you provide.
One thing worthy of note. Avis offered upgrades which I refused on the grounds that it might change the underlying agreement and result in added costs - be careful of adding extras at the point of collection. Regardless, the vehicles reserved were excellent.
You have now become my absolute first choice — my go-to destination for rentals without hesitation. Experiences like this are rare, and you’ve set a new benchmark for excellence.
Please keep up the outstanding work — you’ve gained a loyal customer for life."
José Heriberto Moreno López
"Company with very good prices. Easy and quick booking process."
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Cleveland neighborhoods are easiest to use as a home base with an SUV if I plan to do day trips around Northeast Ohio?
For travelers planning multiple day trips, suburban areas like Independence, Beachwood, or Westlake are excellent choices. These neighborhoods offer direct access to major highways such as I-77, I-271, and I-90, significantly cutting down on city traffic. Hotels in these locations typically provide ample, complimentary parking, which is a major convenience when driving a larger vehicle. While neighborhoods like Ohio City or Tremont are vibrant, their tighter streets and limited parking can be more challenging for an SUV, making the suburbs a more practical home base for regional exploration.
If I’m landing at Cleveland Hopkins late at night, what’s the simplest way to get from baggage claim to the SUV pickup area without missing signs?
After collecting your luggage at Cleveland Hopkins (CLE), the most direct route to the rental car facility is to follow the overhead signs for "Ground Transportation" and "Rental Cars." You will exit the main terminal and cross the street to a dedicated shuttle bus pickup area. These shuttles run frequently, even late at night, and take you directly to the consolidated rental car center. The signage is clear and well-lit, designed to guide travelers efficiently, so just keep an eye out for the rental car icons as you leave baggage claim.
What’s a realistic drive plan for a first-time visitor doing Cleveland to Cedar Point and back in one day with an SUV?
A day trip from Cleveland to Cedar Point is very manageable with an SUV. Plan to leave Cleveland by 8:00 AM to avoid the worst of morning traffic and to arrive in Sandusky as the park opens. The drive is about an hour and a half via I-90 West to OH-2 West, a straightforward route with plenty of space for a larger vehicle. After a full day at the park, aim to leave around closing time, but be prepared for significant exit traffic from the parking lots. The comfortable ride of an SUV will be welcome on the return journey after a long day of walking.
Where do visitors usually struggle with highway interchanges around Cleveland when heading from the airport toward downtown?
The most common point of confusion for visitors driving from the airport to downtown is the I-71 and I-90 split, often called the "Innerbelt." As you approach the city, you'll need to be in the correct lane well in advance to follow signs for I-90 East toward downtown. Another tricky spot is the I-480 interchange, where multiple lanes merge and exit in quick succession. Using a GPS is highly recommended, but also pay close attention to the overhead signs to avoid last-minute lane changes, which can be stressful in a larger vehicle.
How hard is it to park a midsize SUV near Progressive Field or Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse on game nights?
Parking a midsize SUV in the Gateway District on game nights is challenging but entirely possible with some planning. The area has numerous surface lots and parking garages that can accommodate SUVs, though they fill up quickly. Arriving at least an hour before the event starts is highly advisable to secure a spot without stress. Many visitors find it convenient to pre-book parking online through various apps, which guarantees a space and can simplify the process. Be prepared for heavy pedestrian and vehicle traffic immediately before and after the event.
What are the easiest Lake Erie shoreline stops to pair with an SUV day trip from Cleveland—without constant searching for parking?
For a hassle-free shoreline day trip, head east from Cleveland to Mentor Headlands Beach State Park. It features Ohio's longest natural sand beach and has massive parking lots that can easily accommodate any size SUV, even on busy summer days. Another great option is Geneva-on-the-Lake, which offers a mix of public lots and street parking that is generally manageable outside of peak weekend hours. These destinations provide beautiful lake views and recreational opportunities without the parking frustrations of more crowded urban beaches.
If I’m staying in Ohio City or Tremont, what should I expect for street parking and tight turns with an SUV?
Staying in historic neighborhoods like Ohio City or Tremont with an SUV requires some extra awareness. Many streets are narrow, and some intersections can feel tight, so take turns slowly and be mindful of parked cars. Street parking is the norm here and can be very competitive, especially on evenings and weekends. You may need to circle a few blocks to find a spot large enough for an SUV. Always double-check parking signs for any restrictions, as ticketing is common in these popular areas.
If I want to see Cuyahoga Valley National Park, which areas are better to navigate to first in an SUV—trailheads, visitor centers, or scenic overlooks?
For a first-time visit to Cuyahoga Valley National Park, starting at the Boston Mill Visitor Center is the best strategy. It's centrally located and provides an excellent orientation to the park's layout, plus you can get maps and current information on trail conditions. The roads leading to the visitor center and major trailheads like Brandywine Falls are well-maintained and easily navigable in an SUV. After getting your bearings, you can then drive to specific trailheads or scenic overlooks with a clear plan, making your exploration much more efficient.
How should I time an SUV drive from Cleveland to Put-in-Bay or Kelleys Island if I’m trying to avoid long waits at parking and ferries?
To minimize waits for the Lake Erie islands, plan to travel on a weekday if possible, as weekends are significantly busier. Leave Cleveland early in the morning to arrive at the ferry docks in Catawba or Sandusky well before the first or second departure of the day. This helps you avoid the longest lines for both parking and the ferry itself. Pre-purchasing ferry tickets online can also save time. An SUV provides plenty of room for any supplies you want to bring, but remember that taking a vehicle over to the islands is often unnecessary and costly.
What are the easiest places to stop for groceries or travel essentials right after picking up an SUV near Cleveland Hopkins?
Immediately after leaving the Cleveland Hopkins rental car facility, you have several convenient options for supplies. A short drive north on Tiedeman Road or west on Brookpark Road will lead you to numerous shopping plazas. These areas feature large grocery stores like Giant Eagle and Marc's, as well as Target and Walmart. The parking lots are spacious and designed for easy navigation, making it a stress-free first stop to stock up your SUV before heading to your hotel.
If I’m traveling with kids, where are the least stressful places to load luggage and get everyone settled after picking up an SUV in Cleveland?
The consolidated rental car center at Cleveland Hopkins is well-designed for families. After completing your paperwork, you'll proceed to a covered garage where your SUV will be waiting. This area is protected from the weather and has ample space around the vehicles, allowing you to install car seats and load luggage without feeling rushed. For an even less stressful option, you can drive to a nearby park or a large retail parking lot just a few minutes away to make final adjustments and get everyone comfortably settled for the journey.
What Cleveland attractions are simplest to visit with an SUV if I prefer garages or lots over street parking?
Many of Cleveland's top attractions are very accommodating for SUVs, with dedicated parking garages or large lots. The North Coast Harbor area, home to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Great Lakes Science Center, has a large municipal lot that is easy to access. Similarly, the University Circle museum district offers a central parking garage that serves the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Museum of Natural History. These options eliminate the stress of searching for street parking and provide a secure place for your vehicle.
How do Cleveland’s one-way streets downtown affect driving an SUV to hotels near Public Square or the Convention Center?
Navigating downtown Cleveland's one-way street grid in an SUV requires your full attention, but it is very manageable. Key thoroughfares like Superior, Rockwell, and St. Clair Avenues are wide enough to comfortably accommodate larger vehicles. The primary challenge is ensuring you are in the correct lane for your next turn well in advance. Using a GPS with lane guidance is extremely helpful. When approaching your hotel, be aware of designated loading zones so you can pull over safely without obstructing traffic.
What should I know about driving an SUV through the Flats and the riverfront area on busy weekend nights?
Driving an SUV in The Flats on a weekend night can be intense due to heavy vehicle and pedestrian traffic. The streets, particularly on the East Bank, are often congested, and finding parking requires patience. It's wise to identify a parking garage or lot ahead of time rather than hoping for a street spot. Be extra cautious of people crossing the street unexpectedly between cars. The higher vantage point of an SUV can be an advantage for visibility in these crowded conditions, but slow, defensive driving is key.
If my trip includes both Cleveland and Akron, what’s the most straightforward way to split driving days so I’m not stuck in peak traffic?
To avoid traffic between Cleveland and Akron, plan your travel outside of typical commuter hours. The drive via I-77 South takes about 45 minutes in ideal conditions. A good strategy is to leave Cleveland for Akron after 9:30 AM or to head north from Akron to Cleveland before 3:00 PM. An SUV makes this a comfortable trip, and you can easily visit attractions in both cities on the same day. For instance, spend the morning in Cleveland and then drive down to Akron for an afternoon at Stan Hywet Hall or the Akron Art Museum.
