Where is the Alamo counter at Augusta Regional Airport?
The Alamo counter at Augusta Regional Airport (AGS) is located inside the terminal, behind baggage claim, at 1511 Aviation Way, Augusta, GA 30906, approximately 0.2 miles from the main terminal building.
No shuttle or consolidated rental car center is required. After collecting your bags, simply follow the signs toward baggage claim and you will find the Alamo desk directly behind it. The walk is short and entirely within the terminal.
Alamo counter hours at Augusta Regional Airport are:
- Sunday: 09:00 to 23:00
- Monday through Thursday: 08:00 to 23:00
- Friday: 08:00 to 21:00
- Saturday: 08:00 to 19:00
If you arrive outside these hours, park in the Alamo lot as instructed at the time of rental and use the key drop slot at the Alamo rental desk for after-hours returns.
Can I skip the Alamo counter at Augusta Regional Airport?
Yes, you can skip the Alamo counter at Augusta Regional Airport by using Alamo's Accelerated Check-in or Skip the Counter options before your arrival in Augusta.
Here is how each option works:
- Accelerated Check-in: Complete your check-in online before arriving in Augusta. This speeds up the process at the counter but you still stop briefly to collect your keys.
- Touch-screen kiosk: Available at the Augusta location, this lets you print a receipt-sized agreement, proceed directly to your vehicle, and show the agreement along with your driver's license at the exit booth.
- Skip the Counter: After completing Alamo's online Accelerated Check-in, confirm your protections and credit card details online, print your agreement, go straight to your assigned car in the Alamo lot at Augusta Regional Airport, and present your documents at the exit booth.
Regardless of which option you choose, you must have your valid driver's license and the physical credit card used for the reservation ready to present at the exit booth.
What documents do I need to pick up my Alamo rental in Augusta?
To pick up your Alamo rental in Augusta, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:
- A valid, unexpired driver's license with a photograph. Residents of the United States, U.S. Territories, or Canada must present a government-issued license. Digital licenses are not accepted.
- A physical major credit card in the main driver's name, with the driver's name printed on the card, for the security deposit hold.
- Your passport or a valid government-issued photo ID.
- Your booking confirmation or printed voucher.
- If you are an international visitor arriving in Augusta by air, round-trip flight tickets are also recommended.
If your driver's license is not in English and does not use a Latin alphabet (for example, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script), an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory alongside your original license. The IDP is a translation only and cannot be used without the original license.
All documents presented at the Alamo counter in Augusta must be physical originals. Digital or on-screen versions will not be accepted.
How do tolls work for Alamo rentals in Augusta?
When driving an Alamo rental in Augusta and the surrounding Georgia region, toll roads are managed through cashless electronic systems. Very few cash toll booths remain in the United States, and your Alamo vehicle will come equipped with an electronic toll device.
At the Alamo counter in Augusta, you have two options:
- Unlimited toll package: A fixed daily rate, typically between US$11 and US$25 per day depending on the vehicle and location. This covers all tolls during the rental period without per-toll charges.
- Pay per use: If you decline the package, Alamo will charge the actual toll amount plus an administrative or processing fee to the credit card on file each time you use a toll road. These charges often appear on your statement several weeks after the rental ends.
If you plan to drive north toward states like Georgia's neighboring regions or further into the Northeast where E-ZPass is used, the same billing process applies through your Alamo toll device.
Hola Car Rentals includes Tolls Cashback on all bookings: you can claim up to 5% of your total booking value back for tolls paid during your Augusta rental. Submit your claim to [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle, attaching your rental agreement and toll receipt.
What is the security deposit for an Alamo rental in Augusta?
When picking up your Alamo rental in Augusta, a temporary authorization hold will be placed on your credit card at the counter. This is not a charge but it reduces your available credit until the rental is closed and your bank releases the hold.
For Alamo rentals in the United States, including Augusta, the typical hold is approximately US$300 to US$400 for standard vehicle classes. The exact amount can be higher for premium or specialty vehicles and may vary by season or location policy.
Important requirements for the deposit at the Alamo counter in Augusta:
- The card must be a physical major credit card (not debit, prepaid, or virtual).
- The card must be in the main driver's name, with the driver's name printed on the card.
- You must have sufficient available credit to cover the hold plus any expected charges.
After you return the vehicle, Alamo releases the hold. Your bank or card issuer controls when it reappears in your available balance, which can take up to 15 business days. Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined at the Augusta counter.
Is there a young driver surcharge for Alamo rentals in Augusta?
Yes, drivers between the ages of 21 and 24 are subject to a young driver surcharge when renting from Alamo in Augusta. The underage surcharge at Augusta Regional Airport is US$25 per day.
Drivers in this age group at the Augusta Alamo location are also restricted to specific vehicle classes. Eligible categories include Economy through Full Size cars, Cargo and Minivans, Pickups, and Compact, Small, and Standard SUVs with seating for up to 5 passengers. Premium, luxury, and larger vehicle classes are not available to drivers under 25.
Additional requirements that still apply to under-25 renters at the Augusta Alamo counter:
- A valid driver's license in good standing.
- A physical major credit card in the main driver's name for the security deposit hold.
- An International Driving Permit if the license uses a non-Latin alphabet.
Drivers under 21 are not eligible to rent from Alamo in Augusta. The surcharge is paid at the counter and is not included in the prepaid booking total.
How does the fuel policy work for Alamo rentals in Augusta?
Alamo rentals in Augusta follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.
Steps to follow for your Augusta Alamo rental:
- At pickup, check the fuel gauge with the Alamo agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on the rental agreement.
- Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and fuel gauge before leaving the Augusta lot.
- Refuel within approximately 10 miles of Augusta Regional Airport before returning the vehicle so the gauge does not drop below full.
- Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address.
- For after-hours returns at Augusta, leave the receipt in the return envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge as evidence.
If you return the Alamo vehicle in Augusta with less than a full tank, you may be charged for the fuel shortfall at the partner's refueling rate, which is typically higher than retail pump prices, plus a refueling service fee.
If the vehicle was not full at pickup, ask the Alamo agent in Augusta to record the exact starting level on the agreement and return it at that same level.
Does travel assistance apply to Alamo rentals in Augusta?
Yes, most Hola Car Rentals bookings include travel assistance coverage through Terrawind Global Protection, and this applies to your Alamo rental in Augusta. However, this benefit does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada.
For eligible customers, the travel assistance included with your Augusta Alamo booking typically covers:
- 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.
If you experience an emergency during your Alamo rental in Augusta, such as a medical situation or a road accident on one of the highways near Augusta Regional Airport, contact the assistance line immediately:
- Phone (24/7, toll-free): +1 888 980 9992
- WhatsApp: +1 208 910 1001
- Email: [email protected]
Provide your full name, your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number, your current location in Augusta, and a brief description of the situation. Always check your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your specific reservation.
Can I add an additional driver to my Alamo rental in Augusta?
Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Alamo rental in Augusta, but the additional driver must be present at the counter at the time of pickup to show a valid driver's license and sign the rental agreement.
For Alamo rentals in Augusta, the additional driver fee is US$15 per day plus applicable taxes when not included in your rate. Check your booking confirmation to see if an additional driver is already included at no extra charge.
Important rules for additional drivers on your Augusta Alamo rental:
- The additional driver must meet the same minimum age and document requirements as the main driver.
- If the additional driver is between 21 and 24 years old, the US$25 per day young driver surcharge may also apply.
- If renting with a debit card at Augusta Regional Airport, only a spouse or domestic partner is permitted as an additional driver.
- If the additional driver's license uses a non-Latin alphabet, they must also present an International Driving Permit.
Only drivers listed on the Alamo rental agreement in Augusta are covered by the vehicle's protections. Anyone not named on the contract who drives the vehicle may void coverage and result in additional charges.
Can I pick up my Alamo rental in Augusta and return it to a different city?
Yes, one-way rentals are generally possible with Alamo, allowing you to pick up in Augusta and return the vehicle to a different location. However, a drop-off fee may apply depending on the route, distance, vehicle class, and season.
Here is what to expect when booking a one-way Alamo rental from Augusta:
- The drop-off fee, if applicable, will be shown during the booking process under the section labeled as charges due at the destination. It will not appear on the results page but will be visible on the rate details page before you confirm.
- Routes between nearby cities in the same region may carry a lower fee or sometimes no fee at all, while long-distance or cross-country one-ways from Augusta typically carry higher fees.
- Cross-border one-ways, such as from Augusta to Canada, are often restricted or require special authorization from Alamo.
- Premium and large vehicle classes may have stricter one-way rules or higher repositioning fees.
If you change your return location after booking your Augusta Alamo rental, the rate will be repriced and the drop-off fee may change. Always review your confirmation to verify the fee shown matches what you agreed to at booking.
What insurance options are available for Alamo rentals in Augusta?
When picking up your Alamo rental in Augusta, you will have the option to add or confirm insurance coverages at the counter. Understanding what each covers helps you avoid paying for protection you already have or leaving yourself exposed.
The main coverage types available for your Augusta Alamo rental are:
- Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): Reduces your financial liability for damage to the Alamo rental vehicle itself, such as collision damage, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation shows zero deductible. This 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 the Alamo vehicle in Augusta. Some U.S. states require a minimum level of liability, but not all do. Adding supplemental liability up to US$300,000 is strongly recommended.
These two coverages work together: CDW/LDW protects the rental car, while LIS/ALI/SLI protects against claims from third parties. Neither covers your personal injuries (that falls under Personal Accident Insurance) or your belongings.
Check your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation before arriving at the Augusta Alamo counter to confirm which coverages are already included in your rate.
How does Alamo's after-hours return work at Augusta Regional Airport?
Yes, after-hours returns are supported at the Alamo location in Augusta. If you need to return your vehicle outside of the counter's operating hours, follow the instructions provided at the time of rental.
Steps for an after-hours Alamo return at Augusta Regional Airport:
- Park the vehicle in the designated Alamo parking lot at Augusta Regional Airport as directed when you picked up the car.
- Drop the keys in the key drop slot located at the Alamo rental desk inside the terminal.
- Take a photo of the fuel gauge showing a full tank before leaving the vehicle, and keep your last fuel receipt.
- Keep a copy of your rental agreement and any return documentation.
Note that the Alamo counter in Augusta is open until 23:00 Sunday through Thursday and until 21:00 on Fridays and 19:00 on Saturdays. If your return falls outside these windows, the after-hours key drop process applies.
Be aware that liability for the vehicle may remain with you until Alamo processes the return during the next business period. If you have any concerns about the return condition, document the vehicle thoroughly with photos before dropping the keys.
Do I need an International Driving Permit for my Alamo rental in Augusta?
An International Driving Permit (IDP) is not always mandatory for renting from Alamo in Augusta, but it is required in certain situations depending on your license.
Here is when an IDP is required for your Augusta Alamo rental:
- Your driver's license uses a non-Latin alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script. In this case, an IDP is mandatory and must be presented alongside your original license at the Alamo counter in Augusta.
Here is when an IDP is recommended but not strictly mandatory:
- Your license is valid but not in English and does not use a Latin alphabet. Bringing an IDP avoids any potential issues at the Augusta counter.
Important rules about the IDP for your Augusta Alamo rental:
- The IDP is a translation document only. It cannot be used without your original driver's license.
- You must obtain the IDP in your home country before traveling to Augusta. U.S.-based organizations such as AAA do not issue IDPs to non-U.S. license holders.
- All documents, including the IDP and your original license, must be physical originals. Digital versions are not accepted at the Alamo counter in Augusta.
If you are unsure whether your license requires an IDP for your Augusta Alamo rental, obtain one before departure to avoid any issues at pickup.
