No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Alamo booking in Connecticut 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 Alamo 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 Alamo counter in Connecticut 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 Alamo 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)

The Alamo counter in Connecticut is located at Hartford Bradley International Airport (BDL) in Windsor Locks, at 180 Schoephoester Drive.

If you are arriving without checked luggage, follow signs to Door 6, then cross the street via the Skybridge (approximately 725 feet) to reach the Alamo counter and complete your rental agreement.

If you have checked luggage, collect your bags at baggage claim first, then proceed to the departures level, exit at Door 6, and cross via the Skybridge to the counter.

Alamo also offers an Accelerated Check-in option at BDL. Use the touch-screen kiosk to skip the line, get directed straight to your vehicle, and simply show your agreement and driver's license at the exit booth. You can also activate the Skip the Counter option online before your arrival in Connecticut.

To collect your Alamo rental in Connecticut, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:

• A valid, unexpired driver's license (original, not digital) in the main driver's name
• A major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card, in the main driver's name, for the security deposit hold
• A passport or valid government-issued photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets if you are visiting from abroad

If your driver's license 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 alongside your original license. For licenses in English or a Roman alphabet, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required.

All documents presented at the Alamo counter in Connecticut must be physical originals. Digital copies or scans are not accepted.

No, Connecticut itself does not have toll roads on its state highways, so Alamo renters driving within Connecticut will not encounter any in-state tolls.

However, if you drive your Alamo rental from Connecticut into neighboring states, tolls do apply. Common examples include:

• New York: the Mario Cuomo Bridge (formerly Tappan Zee), the New York Thruway (I-87/I-90), and cashless express lanes on I-95
• Massachusetts: the Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90)
• Rhode Island: tolled sections of I-95

All of these systems are cashless and use electronic billing, primarily through E-ZPass. Your Alamo vehicle in Connecticut comes equipped with an electronic toll device. If you plan to cross into a neighboring state, you can enroll in Alamo's TollPass program at pickup, which charges a daily fee of approximately US$3.95 to US$5.35 per day tolls are used, plus the actual toll amounts. If you drive through a cashless toll without enrolling, the charge will be billed to your card after the rental, often at a higher cash rate plus an administrative fee per day.

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

Since Connecticut has no in-state toll roads, this benefit applies when you drive your Alamo rental into neighboring states such as New York, Massachusetts, or Rhode Island, where cashless toll systems like E-ZPass are active.

To claim your cashback, email [email protected] within 30 days of returning your Alamo vehicle in Connecticut. Include:

• Your Hola Car Rentals reservation confirmation
• A copy of the rental agreement signed at the Alamo counter
• A receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid during your rental period

The refund is processed to your original payment method and typically takes 7 to 10 business days after approval. Late submissions received after 30 days are not accepted.

When you pick up your Alamo rental in Connecticut, the counter will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card. For standard vehicles at U.S. locations, this hold is typically around US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount can vary based on the vehicle class, rental duration, and the specific Alamo location in Connecticut.

A few important points to keep in mind:

• The hold is not a charge; it temporarily reduces your available credit until it is released after you return the vehicle
• Only a physical, major credit card in the main driver's name with the driver's name printed on the card is accepted; debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted for the deposit
• Premium or specialty vehicles may require a higher hold amount
• After returning your Alamo rental in Connecticut, the hold is released, but your bank may take up to 15 business days to reflect the release on your account

Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined at the Alamo counter.

To rent from Alamo in Connecticut without a young-driver surcharge, you must be at least 25 years old. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent but will be charged a daily young-renter surcharge, and most vehicle classes are restricted to renters aged 25 and older.

Vehicle classes typically restricted to drivers 25 and older at Alamo in Connecticut include full-size sedans, full-size SUVs, minivans, vans, convertibles, luxury, and premium categories. Drivers aged 21 to 24 are generally limited to economy, compact, and intermediate classes.

Additional requirements that apply regardless of age:

• A valid driver's license in good standing
• An International Driving Permit (IDP) if your license uses a non-Latin alphabet
• A major credit card in the main driver's name for the security deposit hold

Connecticut does not have the same 18-plus exception that applies in New York or Michigan, so the standard Alamo policy of 21 as the minimum age with a surcharge applies at the BDL location in Connecticut.

Alamo rentals in Connecticut 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:

• At pickup, check the fuel gauge with the Alamo agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on your rental agreement
• Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and fuel gauge
• Refuel within approximately 10 miles or 15 km of the Alamo return location at BDL in Connecticut 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 BDL, leave the receipt in the key envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge

If you return the vehicle below the recorded starting level, Alamo may charge you for the fuel shortfall at the partner's refueling rate, which is typically higher than the retail pump price, plus a refueling service fee. Returning the tank full is always the most cost-effective option when renting from Alamo in Connecticut.

Yes, after-hours returns are available at the Alamo location at Hartford Bradley International Airport (BDL) in Connecticut.

To return your Alamo vehicle outside of counter hours at BDL:

• Drive to the parking garage and follow the Car Rental Returns signs
• Park the vehicle in the designated Alamo area
• Remove all personal belongings from the car
• Lock the vehicle and drop the keys in the key drop box located next to the Customer Service Return Booth

Keep in mind that you remain responsible for the vehicle until the Alamo counter opens and staff formally checks it in. Take photos of the car's condition, the fuel gauge, and the odometer before leaving, and keep your fuel receipt if you refueled nearby. This documentation protects you in case any post-rental charges are disputed after your Connecticut rental ends.

Yes, most Hola Car Rentals bookings for Alamo in Connecticut include Travel Assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection, at no extra cost.

This benefit is particularly useful if something unexpected happens during your Connecticut trip, such as a medical emergency on the highway, a flight cancellation on your way home, or luggage lost by the airline at Hartford Bradley International Airport. Coverage typically includes:

• 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

To reach assistance 24 hours a day, call +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free) or contact WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call.

Important: this benefit applies only to non-North American customers. Residents of the United States and Canada do not qualify for Travel Assistance on their Alamo Connecticut booking. Always check your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your reservation.

The insurance included with your Alamo rental in Connecticut depends on the rate plan you selected when booking through Hola Car Rentals. Here is a summary of the main coverages to understand:

• Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): reduces your financial liability for damage to the Alamo vehicle from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation shows zero excess
• Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI): covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to other people while driving your Alamo rental in Connecticut. Some U.S. states require a minimum liability inclusion; confirm whether it is included or optional on your confirmation

CDW and LDW do not cover damage to other vehicles or injuries to third parties; that is what liability coverage addresses. Neither covers your personal belongings or your own injuries.

All renters and additional drivers in Connecticut must have verifiable collision, comprehensive, and liability insurance in place. Review your Hola Car Rentals confirmation carefully before arriving at the Alamo counter in Connecticut to confirm exactly which protections are included in your rate.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Alamo rental in Connecticut, either as an included benefit or for a fee paid at the counter.

When it is not included in your rate, Alamo in Connecticut charges US$15 per day for each additional driver, plus applicable taxes. Check your Hola Car Rentals confirmation before arriving at the BDL counter to see whether an additional driver is already included in your rate.

Requirements for adding a driver at the Alamo counter in Connecticut:

• The additional driver must be present at pickup and show a valid driver's license
• If their license uses a non-Latin alphabet, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is also required
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement
• The additional driver must meet the minimum age requirements; drivers aged 21 to 24 may be subject to a young-driver surcharge

Only drivers listed on the Alamo rental agreement in Connecticut are covered by the vehicle's protections. Anyone who drives without being named on the contract may void coverage and result in additional charges.

Yes, one-way rentals are generally available with Alamo in Connecticut, allowing you to pick up at Hartford Bradley International Airport (BDL) and return the vehicle in a different state.

A drop-off fee may apply depending on the route, distance, vehicle class, and season. This fee is route-specific and set by Alamo. When booking through Hola Car Rentals, any applicable drop-off fee will be shown on the rate details page under the section labeled as amounts due at the destination, so you can see it before confirming your reservation.

A few things to keep in mind for one-way rentals from Connecticut:

• Cross-border one-ways (for example, into Canada) may be restricted or require prior authorization from Alamo
• Premium and large vehicle classes may carry higher drop-off fees or limited availability for one-way routes
• Changing your return location after booking may reprice the rental and recalculate the drop-off fee

If the Alamo counter in Connecticut charges a drop-off fee that differs from what your confirmation shows, keep all paperwork and contact Hola Car Rentals support after the rental is complete.

If your flight is delayed and you arrive later than your scheduled Alamo pickup time in Connecticut, the rental company will generally hold your reservation for up to 24 hours from the original pickup time, provided you arrive during counter operating hours at Hartford Bradley International Airport (BDL).

Here is what to expect depending on the delay length:

• Delay under 24 hours: your Alamo booking in Connecticut is held. Make sure you arrive while the BDL counter is open, as after-hours arrivals may require a key drop arrangement
• Delay over 24 hours: contact Hola Car Rentals as soon as possible via WhatsApp at +1 (786) 999-8312 or by email at [email protected]. Changes are not guaranteed but the team will assist where possible

If you arrive after the Alamo counter has closed at BDL in Connecticut, review your booking confirmation for any after-hours instructions. For planned late arrivals, it is worth contacting the Alamo location in advance to confirm counter hours and any available arrangements for your Connecticut pickup.
