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

Picking up a van at Fort Wayne International Airport (FWA) is straightforward. Rental counters for brands such as Enterprise, Avis, Budget, and National are located inside the terminal building near baggage claim, so no shuttle or consolidated hire centre is required.

After collecting your bags, follow the signs towards the Rental Car Facility across from baggage claim, proceed to your brand's counter to sign the agreement and collect the keys, then walk a short distance to the hire lot to find your van. The entire process from landing to driving away typically takes 15 to 45 minutes.

Counter addresses on the airport grounds are clustered along W Ferguson Rd:

• Enterprise: 3833 W Ferguson Rd
• Avis: 3827 W Ferguson Rd
• National and Alamo: 3829 W Ferguson Rd
• Budget: 4100 Ferguson Rd

If you are picking up your van at a city location such as Lima Rd (5006 Lima Rd) or Downtown Fort Wayne (522 E State Blvd), you will need to travel directly to that address, as there is no terminal integration at those branches.

Van hire counter hours at Fort Wayne International Airport (FWA) vary by brand, so it is important to check your booking confirmation before you travel. Based on available information, typical hours are:

• Enterprise (FWA): Monday to Wednesday and Thursday 7 AM to 11:59 PM; Friday 6 AM to 11:59 PM; Saturday 8 AM to 11 PM; Sunday 8 AM to 11:59 PM
• Budget (FWA): Sunday to Saturday 9 AM to 11:45 PM
• Avis (FWA): Monday to Sunday 9 AM to 11:45 PM

After-hours van returns are available at several Fort Wayne Airport locations. Avis and Budget both offer key-drop options, so you can return the van outside staffed hours without waiting at the counter.

City-centre branches in Fort Wayne operate on shorter schedules. For example, the Lima Rd Enterprise location is open Monday to Friday 8 AM to 6 PM and Saturday to Sunday 9 AM to 2 PM, with no after-hours drop-off available there.

Always confirm the exact hours on your hire agreement, as hours can change on public holidays.

Yes, there are toll roads relevant to hiring a van in Fort Wayne. The main one is the Indiana Toll Road (I-90), a 157-mile east-west highway that runs across northern Indiana and connects to the Chicago Skyway to the west and the Ohio Turnpike to the east. If you drive your van on this route, tolls apply.

Payment options on Indiana toll roads include:

• E-ZPass or I-Pass (Indiana's transponder system) at lower electronic rates
• Cash at booths where available
• Cashless video tolling via licence plate capture, which typically costs more than transponder rates

Your hire van will already have an electronic toll device installed. At the Fort Wayne counter you can choose between:

• An unlimited toll package at a fixed daily rate (typically US$11 to US$25 per day depending on the brand)
• Pay-per-use billing, where the hire company charges you the actual toll amount plus an administrative processing fee after the hire ends

If you opt out of the hire company's toll programme, you can pay cash at booths where available, but unpaid cashless tolls will be billed to your card on file, often weeks after you return the van, along with additional fees.

Yes, all bookings include Tolls Cashback, which lets you recover up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your van hire in Fort Wayne.

This is especially useful if you drive your van on the Indiana Toll Road (I-90) or cross any tolled river bridges in the region, as those charges can add up over a multi-day hire.

To claim your cashback after returning the van in Fort Wayne:

• Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle
• Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback - Reservation [Your Confirmation Number]
• Attach your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation, the signed hire agreement, and a toll receipt or statement showing charges paid during the hire period
• Include your full name, travel dates, and the last 4 digits of the card used for the booking

The refund is issued to the same payment method used for your reservation and typically processes within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Claims submitted after 30 days are not accepted. Note that Tolls Cashback reimburses tolls you already paid; it does not mean tolls are included in your van hire rate.

To pick up a hire van in Fort Wayne, you must bring the following physical documents to the counter:

• Your original, unexpired driver’s licence in the main driver’s name
• A major credit card with the driver’s name printed on the physical card, used for the security deposit authorisation hold
• A valid passport or government-issued photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher if required by the partner brand
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets if you are visiting from abroad

If your driver’s licence is not in English and not issued by an EU or EEA country, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is strongly recommended. If your licence uses a non-Latin alphabet such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic, an IDP is mandatory. 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 or tablet are not accepted at the hire counter in Fort Wayne. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit authorisation hold.

Yes, a major credit card is required to hire a van in Fort Wayne. The card must be a physical card with the main driver’s name printed on it and must have sufficient available credit to cover the security deposit authorisation hold placed at the counter.

Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual or single-use card numbers are not accepted for the deposit, even if you have already prepaid your van hire booking online.

Typical security deposit holds in the United States range from US$300 to US$400 for standard vehicles, though the amount can be higher for larger vans or premium categories. The hold is a temporary authorisation, not a charge, and is released after you return the van. Your bank controls how quickly the funds become available again, which can take up to 15 business days.

Tips to avoid issues at the Fort Wayne counter:

• Notify your bank of your travel plans to prevent fraud blocks on in-person authorisations
• Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined
• Confirm the hold amount with the agent before they process the authorisation

Yes, drivers aged 21 to 24 can hire in Fort Wayne, but a young-renter surcharge applies and van categories are typically restricted to renters aged 25 and older.

In the United States, most hire partners set 25 as the standard minimum age for full-size vans and minivans. Drivers aged 21 to 24 are generally limited to smaller vehicle classes such as economy, compact, standard sedan, and compact or medium SUVs. If you specifically need a van in Fort Wayne, you will likely need to be at least 25 years old to qualify for that vehicle category.

Indiana is not one of the states (New York and Michigan are the exceptions) that require hire companies to rent to drivers aged 18 and older, so the 25-year-old threshold for vans applies at Fort Wayne locations.

One exception worth noting: certain Hola Car Rentals rates fulfilled by Avis or Budget waive the young-renter surcharge for main drivers aged 21 to 24 who are citizens or residents of Latin America or the Caribbean, but this waiver applies only to eligible sedan and compact SUV categories, not to vans.

Always check your booking confirmation for the exact age rules and surcharge amounts that apply to your Fort Wayne van hire.

Most bookings include travel assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection, which can be valuable if an unexpected situation arises during your van hire in Fort Wayne or while driving on Indiana roads.

Core benefits typically include:

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

If you need help during your van hire in Fort Wayne, contact the assistance line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week:

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

When you call, have your full name, your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number (for example, HOLA1000000), your current location, and a brief description of the situation ready.

Important: this travel assistance benefit does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada. It also does not cover damage to the hire van itself (that is handled by CDW or LDW) or third-party liability (covered by LIS or SLI). Always review your booking confirmation for the exact coverage terms and limits that apply to your reservation.

The standard fuel policy for a van hire in Fort Wayne is Full-to-Full. You receive the van with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.

Steps to follow to avoid fuel charges:

• 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 return location before dropping off the van
• Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address
• For after-hours returns at Fort Wayne Airport, leave the receipt in the key-drop envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge

If you return the van with less than a full tank, the hire partner may charge you for the fuel shortfall at their own refuelling rate, which is typically higher than pump prices, plus a refuelling service fee.

If the van was not full at pickup, ask the agent to record the exact starting level on the agreement. You only need to return it at that same level, not necessarily full.

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

Typical pay-at-counter fees per day when not included in your rate:

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

Requirements for adding a driver to your Fort Wayne van 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 English or uses a non-Latin alphabet, an International Driving Permit is required

Only drivers listed on the hire agreement are covered by protections such as CDW or LDW. Anyone who drives the van in Fort Wayne without being named on the contract may void that cover.

Yes, one-way van hires from Fort Wayne to another city are possible, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on the route, the hire brand, and the vehicle class.

The drop-off fee is route-specific and is set by the hire partner. For van hires in particular, repositioning fees can be higher than for smaller vehicle classes because vans are more costly to move between locations.

How to check whether a drop-off fee applies to your Fort Wayne van hire:

• During the booking process, select your different return location and the system will display any applicable drop-off fee under the "To pay at destination" section
• Review your booking confirmation after reserving, as the fee will also appear there
• At the Fort Wayne pickup counter, verify the fee on the hire agreement matches what your confirmation shows

The drop-off fee cannot be prepaid and is not covered by No Extra Charges© Coverage unless it was not disclosed during booking. Cross-border one-way hires (for example, returning the van in Canada) may be restricted or carry significantly higher fees; always confirm with the hire brand before booking.

The insurance coverage included with your van hire in Fort Wayne depends on the rate plan you selected at booking. In the United States, Hola Car Rentals offers All Inclusive and All Inclusive+ rate plans, and the key difference is the level of liability protection.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) reduces your financial liability for damage to the hire van from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation explicitly states zero deductible. CDW and LDW do not cover:

• Third-party bodily injury or property damage to others
• Damage caused by prohibited use such as off-road driving or driving under the influence
• Tires, undercarriage, roof, or keys unless specifically included

Third-Party Liability (LIS or SLI) covers injury or property damage you cause to other people while driving the van. Some U.S. states require a minimum level of liability to be included, but not all do. Adding supplemental liability cover up to US$300,000 is strongly recommended for van hires in Fort Wayne.

Always review your booking confirmation to confirm exactly which coverages are included in your rate and what deductibles apply before picking up the van.

Yes, Fort Wayne has specific residential parking rules for vans that are stricter than many other U.S. cities, and they can catch visitors off guard.

Key restrictions to be aware of when parking your hire van in Fort Wayne:

• Vans up to one tonne may park in driveways or on approved paved surfaces connected to streets or alleys, but never on grass, yards, or unpaved surfaces
• Vans over one tonne are fully prohibited from residential driveways, streets, alleys, and yards; this category includes many larger hire vans commonly chosen for group travel
• Driveways must not block the pavement
• Overnight street parking is generally allowed on unposted streets, but alleys are prohibited and a 72-hour limit applies
• Violations can result in fines of GBP 100 per day

These rules are enforced by police and code officers in Fort Wayne's residential areas. If you are staying in a residential neighbourhood with your hire van, confirm that the vehicle's weight class is permitted before parking in a driveway. For larger vans, a commercial parking lot is the safest option overnight.

There are no road-use bans or driving restrictions specifically targeting vans in Fort Wayne; the restrictions apply to where you park, not where you drive.
