"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"

"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."

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."

"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."

Frequently Asked Questions

What does my SUV rental in Phoenix through Hola Car Rentals include that other companies don't offer?

Hola Car Rentals is the only premium partner of the top car rental brands operating in Phoenix, giving you exclusive access to our All Inclusive+ rate. This rate includes benefits that no other company can match, even when renting an SUV:

  • Free liability coverage starting at US$ 300,000 in case of an accident (applies only to certain rates and itineraries)
  • Toll cashback: recover up to 5% of the reservation's total value for toll charges incurred during your rental period
  • Premium travel medical assistance providing up to US$ 150,000 in coverage for a maximum of 5 passengers in case of a medical emergency, excluding pre-existing conditions
  • No Extra Charges© guarantee: if the counter charges you for something not listed on your confirmation and not an optional add-on you accepted, Hola Car Rentals will work to remove or reimburse the charge after verification

All of this comes at no extra cost, ensuring a fully protected SUV rental experience and peace of mind throughout your trip in Phoenix.

Will I face unexpected charges when I rent an SUV in Phoenix through Hola Car Rentals?

No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your SUV booking in Phoenix 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 an SUV or any other vehicle class. This is a pricing guarantee (not insurance) that protects you if the counter in Phoenix 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)
How do I get from Phoenix Sky Harbor terminals to the SUV rental counter?

All SUV rental companies at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport operate from the PHX Rental Car Center, a consolidated facility separate from the terminals. You do not walk directly to the counter from baggage claim.

  • After collecting your luggage on Level 1, follow the overhead signs for the PHX Sky Train.
  • From Terminal 3, board the Sky Train on Level 5. From Terminal 4, board on Level 3.
  • The Sky Train is free, runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and arrives every 3 to 5 minutes.
  • The ride takes approximately 5 minutes from Terminal 3 and 8 to 10 minutes from Terminal 4.
  • Exit at the Rental Car Center station and follow the logo of the SUV rental brand shown in your booking confirmation.

Plan for 15 to 30 minutes total from baggage claim to your Phoenix SUV rental counter, and allow extra time during peak travel periods. The Rental Car Center is located at 1805 E. Sky Harbor Circle South.

Are there toll roads in Phoenix that affect my SUV rental?

No, Arizona has no toll roads, so driving your Phoenix SUV rental anywhere in the state will not generate toll charges. There are no toll plazas, cashless toll lanes, or electronic toll systems such as E-ZPass or SunPass operating in Arizona.

Because Phoenix has no tolls, you do not need to purchase an e-Toll package from the rental counter. Any optional toll service offered at the Phoenix SUV rental desk applies to other states and is not relevant for driving within Arizona.

If you plan to drive your SUV rental beyond Phoenix into neighboring states such as California, be aware that toll roads do exist there. In that case, the vehicle's built-in toll device or a counter toll program would become relevant, and charges would apply per the rental agreement.

What documents do I need to pick up my SUV rental at Phoenix Sky Harbor?

To pick up your SUV rental at Phoenix Sky Harbor, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:

  • A valid, original driver's license in the main driver's name. If your license uses a non-Latin alphabet (Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Cyrillic), an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory alongside the original license.
  • A major credit card with the main driver's name printed on the card, for the security deposit hold. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted.
  • A valid passport (required for international visitors).
  • Your booking confirmation or printed voucher.
  • Round-trip flight tickets or proof of return travel.

All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies are not accepted at the Phoenix SUV rental counter. If your license is in English or issued by an EU/EEA country, an IDP is recommended but not mandatory. Mexican driver's licenses require a secondary ID such as a valid passport or visa.

Name mismatches between your license, passport, and credit card are a common reason for delays, so verify all names match before arriving at the Phoenix counter.

Does my Phoenix SUV rental booking include Tolls Cashback if I drive to other states?

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

Since Phoenix and the rest of Arizona have no toll roads, this benefit becomes relevant if you drive your SUV rental out of state, for example into California or other regions where toll roads exist. Any tolls you pay on those routes are eligible for the cashback.

To claim your reimbursement after returning your Phoenix SUV rental:

  • Email [email protected] within 30 days of vehicle return.
  • Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback, followed by your reservation number.
  • Attach your Hola Car Rentals 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. Late submissions received after 30 days are not accepted.

How much is the security deposit for an SUV rental in Phoenix?

When you pick up your SUV rental in Phoenix, the rental partner will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card. For standard vehicles in the United States, typical holds range from US$300 to US$400, but the amount for an SUV rental can be higher depending on the vehicle class, the specific rental brand, and the location.

Important points to keep in mind:

  • The hold is not a charge. It temporarily reduces your available credit and is released after you return the vehicle.
  • Your bank controls how quickly the hold disappears after release, which can take up to 15 business days.
  • Only a physical major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card is accepted. Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted for the deposit.
  • Premium or larger SUV classes may carry a higher hold than standard vehicles.

To avoid issues at the Phoenix SUV rental counter, notify your bank of your travel dates in advance, confirm your available credit covers the hold, and bring a backup credit card in your name.

Can a driver under 25 rent an SUV in Phoenix?

Yes, drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent a vehicle in Phoenix, but a young-renter surcharge applies and most SUV classes are restricted to renters aged 25 and older.

Key rules for under-25 renters at Phoenix:

  • Drivers aged 21 to 24 pay a daily young-renter surcharge at the counter. The amount varies by rental brand.
  • Most full-size SUV, premium SUV, and large vehicle categories require the main driver to be at least 25 years old.
  • Compact SUV and medium SUV classes are generally available to drivers aged 21 to 24, subject to availability at the Phoenix location.
  • The minimum age to rent without any surcharge is 25.

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

All standard requirements still apply regardless of age: a valid driver's license, a major credit card in the main driver's name, and any required documents for your Phoenix SUV rental pickup.

What is the fuel policy for SUV rentals in Phoenix?

SUV rentals in Phoenix follow 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 for your Phoenix SUV rental:

  • At pickup, check the fuel gauge with the agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on the rental agreement. Take a photo of the dashboard.
  • Use the correct fuel type for your SUV. Wrong-fuel incidents are not covered by the fuel policy.
  • Before returning to the Rental Car Center at 1805 E. Sky Harbor Circle South, refuel within approximately 10 miles of the return location so the gauge does not drop below full.
  • Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address.

If you return the Phoenix SUV rental with less than a full tank, the rental partner may charge you for the fuel shortfall at their own refueling rate, which is typically higher than retail pump prices, plus a refueling service fee. Returning full is always the most cost-effective option.

What insurance coverage is included with my SUV rental in Phoenix?

The insurance coverage included with your Phoenix SUV rental depends on the rate plan selected at booking. Most Hola Car Rentals rates for the United States include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW), which reduces your financial liability for damage to the rental SUV from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation explicitly states zero deductible.

CDW/LDW does not cover:

  • Third-party liability, meaning injuries or property damage you cause to others. This requires separate Liability Insurance Supplementary (LIS/ALI/SLI) coverage.
  • Tires, wheels, undercarriage, or roof damage, which are commonly excluded.
  • Incidents involving unauthorized drivers or prohibited use such as off-road driving.

For third-party liability in Arizona, some U.S. states require rental companies to include state-minimum liability, but not all do. It is strongly recommended to add LIS coverage to your Phoenix SUV rental booking for protection up to US$300,000.

Review your Hola Car Rentals confirmation carefully to confirm which coverages are included in your specific Phoenix SUV rental rate before arriving at the counter.

Does my Phoenix SUV rental include travel assistance if something goes wrong on the road?

Yes, most Hola Car Rentals bookings include travel assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection, which can be valuable if you experience a medical emergency or other covered incident while driving your SUV rental in or around Phoenix.

Core benefits typically included:

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

If you need assistance during your Phoenix SUV rental, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day, 7 days a week:

Have your full name and Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call. This coverage does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada. It also does not cover damage to the rental SUV itself (that is CDW/LDW) or third-party liability (that is LIS/ALI/SLI). Check your Phoenix SUV rental confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits.

Can I add an additional driver to my SUV rental in Phoenix?

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your SUV rental in Phoenix, either at no cost if your rate includes it or for a daily fee paid at the counter.

Fee structure when not included in your rate:

  • 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.

Requirements for adding a driver to your Phoenix SUV rental:

  • The additional driver must be present at the Phoenix Rental Car Center counter at pickup.
  • They must present a valid driver's license and any required documents, including an IDP if their license uses a non-Latin alphabet.
  • For Avis, Budget, and Payless, additional drivers must be at least 25 years old.
  • Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement.

Only drivers listed on the rental agreement are covered by protections such as CDW/LDW. Anyone not named on the contract who drives the Phoenix SUV rental may void coverage entirely.

Can I pick up my Phoenix SUV rental and return it to a different city?

Yes, one-way SUV rentals are possible from Phoenix, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on your return location, the rental brand, and the vehicle class.

How one-way fees work for Phoenix SUV rentals:

  • Returning to a different city or airport in Arizona or another state typically triggers a drop-off fee.
  • Large SUV classes often carry higher repositioning fees than smaller vehicle categories.
  • The drop-off fee is shown during the booking process under the section labeled as amounts due at the destination. It cannot be prepaid.
  • Cross-border one-way rentals, for example returning a Phoenix SUV rental in Mexico, are often restricted or require special authorization from the rental partner.

To confirm whether a drop-off fee applies to your specific Phoenix SUV rental route, check the rate details page during booking. If the fee does not appear, no one-way charge applies to that route. Any fee shown on your confirmation is what you should expect to pay at the counter. If the counter charges a different amount, keep all paperwork and contact support.

What are the counter hours for SUV rental pickup at Phoenix Sky Harbor?

The PHX Rental Car Center at 1805 E. Sky Harbor Circle South is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and the PHX Sky Train connecting the terminals to the center also runs around the clock. Most SUV rental brands operating at Phoenix Sky Harbor maintain 24-hour counters, but individual brand hours can vary.

Important considerations for your Phoenix SUV rental pickup:

  • Verify your specific rental brand's counter hours directly, especially for very early morning or late-night arrivals.
  • Some brands operate a reduced-service booth during overnight hours (midnight to 6:00 AM) when the main counter is closed.
  • Rental companies will hold your Phoenix SUV rental reservation for up to 24 hours from the original pickup time if your flight is delayed.
  • If your delay exceeds 24 hours, contact support as soon as possible, as the booking may be forfeited without a refund if the hold window passes.

For after-hours SUV rental returns at Phoenix, key drop boxes are available at the Rental Car Center. Lock the vehicle, place the key in the designated return box for your brand, and keep a photo of the full fuel gauge and odometer as documentation.

Is an International Driving Permit required for an SUV rental in Phoenix?

An International Driving Permit (IDP) is not always mandatory for an SUV rental in Phoenix, but it is required in specific situations and strongly recommended in others.

When an IDP is mandatory for your Phoenix SUV rental:

  • Your driver's license uses a non-Latin alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic. In this case, the IDP serves as a mandatory translation and must be carried alongside your original license.

When an IDP is recommended but not strictly required:

  • Your license is not in English and is not issued by an EU/EEA country. The rental counter agent may request a translation, and having an IDP avoids any dispute.

General rules that apply to all Phoenix SUV rental pickups:

  • The IDP is a translation document only. It is not a standalone license and will not be accepted without your original license.
  • Obtain your IDP in your home country before traveling. U.S. issuers such as AAA do not issue IDPs to non-U.S. license holders.
  • All documents presented at the Phoenix Rental Car Center must be physical originals. Digital copies are not accepted.

If your license is from the U.S., Canada, or an EU/EEA country, no IDP is needed for your Phoenix SUV rental.
