No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Alamo booking in Coral Gables 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 Coral Gables 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 Coral Gables is located at 4125 Ponce De Leon Blvd, Coral Gables, FL 33146. This is a city center location, so pickup happens directly at the counter without any airport shuttle or consolidated rental car center process.

If you are arriving by air, the nearest Alamo airport facility is at Miami International Airport (MIA), located at 3900 NW 25th St Ste 400, Miami, FL 33142. The MIA rental car center is on the 3rd level and operates 24 hours a day.

Picking up your Alamo vehicle at the Coral Gables city center location rather than MIA can be a practical choice if you plan to spend your first days in or near Coral Gables, as it avoids airport concession fees and customer facility charges that typically add 20 to 30 percent to airport rental rates.

Yes, picking up your Alamo rental in Coral Gables is generally cheaper than picking up at Miami International Airport (MIA).

Airport rentals at MIA typically include several mandatory fees that do not apply at the Coral Gables city center location, such as:

• Airport concession recovery fees (typically US$5 to US$7 per day)
• Customer facility charges (approximately US$4.50 to US$6.25 per rental ticket)
• Miami-Dade vehicle license recovery fees

Combined, these airport-specific surcharges can add 20 to 30 percent to the total cost compared to renting from the Alamo Coral Gables location on Ponce De Leon Blvd. If your itinerary allows you to reach Coral Gables by rideshare or other means on arrival day, starting your Alamo rental from the city center location can result in meaningful savings, especially for multi-day rentals.

To pick up your Alamo rental in Coral Gables, you must bring the following physical documents:

• Your original, unexpired driver's license in the main driver's name
• A major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card, for the security deposit hold
• A valid passport or 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. For all other non-English licenses, an IDP is strongly recommended. The IDP is a translation only and must be carried alongside your original license.

All documents presented at the Alamo counter in Coral Gables must be physical originals. Digital copies on a phone or tablet are not accepted. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit.

Almost all toll roads near Coral Gables and throughout Florida are fully cashless. Your Alamo rental vehicle will include an electronic toll device or a plate-based billing system, so you will not need to stop at a booth to pay.

When you pick up your Alamo vehicle in Coral Gables, you have two options for handling tolls:

• Purchase an unlimited toll package at the counter, which typically costs approximately US$11 to US$15 per rental day in Florida and covers all toll usage during your rental
• Decline the package and pay per use, in which case Alamo will charge you the actual toll amount plus daily or administrative processing fees billed to your credit card after the rental

Florida uses the SunPass and E-PASS electronic systems. If you prefer to manage tolls independently, you can opt out of the Alamo toll program at pickup and add your rental vehicle's license plate to a SunPass Prepaid Toll-By-Plate account, which routes toll charges directly to your own account and avoids rental company administrative fees.

Estimated daily toll costs in the Miami and Coral Gables area range from approximately US$5 to US$20 depending on which expressways you use, such as the Florida Turnpike or I-95 Express lanes. Toll charges may appear on your statement days or weeks after the rental ends, as toll agencies process invoices in batches.

Yes, Coral Gables has several road features that can surprise drivers unfamiliar with the area, and it is worth reviewing them before collecting your Alamo rental.

Key things to be aware of:

• Coral Way (SR 972), the main east-west artery through Coral Gables, becomes one-way westbound after a traffic circle at South Greenway Drive and Anderson Road, forcing eastbound traffic onto Segovia Street south to Biltmore Way
• The Miracle Mile section of Coral Way through downtown Coral Gables has one-way segments with strict enforcement and ongoing circulation changes
• Left turns on red are legal in Florida only from a one-way street onto another one-way street where permitted by signage, which can be confusing amid Coral Gables traffic circles
• Where Coral Way ends at Douglas Road (SW 37th Ave), the route transitions into Miami's denser grid without intuitive signage, making it easy to miss connections to the Palmetto Expressway (SR 826) or Le Jeune Road (SR 953) for airport access

Using a GPS or navigation app is strongly recommended when driving your Alamo vehicle in and around Coral Gables, particularly if you are unfamiliar with South Florida road layouts.

Yes, all bookings made through Hola Car Rentals, including Alamo rentals in Coral Gables, include Tolls Cashback of up to 5 percent of your total booking value.

Given that the Coral Gables area relies heavily on cashless toll roads such as the Florida Turnpike and I-95 Express lanes, toll costs can add up quickly, making this benefit particularly useful.

To claim your cashback after returning your Alamo vehicle:

• Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle
• Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback - followed by your reservation confirmation number
• Attach your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation, your signed rental agreement, and a toll invoice or statement showing the charges paid

The refund is issued to the same payment method used for your original booking and typically processes within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Claims submitted after 30 days are not accepted. This benefit does not mean tolls are included in your rate; you still pay tolls normally and are reimbursed afterward up to the 5 percent cap.

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

When the additional driver fee is not included in your rate, Alamo charges US$15 per day for each extra driver added in Coral Gables. The additional driver must be present at the Alamo counter at pickup and must bring their own valid driver's license. If their license is not in English or uses a non-Latin alphabet, an International Driving Permit is also required.

Important rules to keep in mind:

• Only drivers listed on the rental agreement are covered by protections such as CDW/LDW and liability insurance
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement at the Coral Gables counter
• The additional driver must meet the minimum age requirements; drivers under 25 may be subject to a young-driver surcharge
• If you need to add a driver after pickup, you must visit an Alamo branch in person to update the agreement

Check your booking confirmation before arriving at the Coral Gables counter to confirm whether an additional driver is already included in your rate.

When you pick up your Alamo vehicle in Coral Gables, a temporary authorization hold will be placed on your credit card as a security deposit. For standard vehicles in the United States, this hold is typically around US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount varies by vehicle class, rental duration, and the specific Alamo location.

Key points to prepare for:

• The hold is not a charge; it temporarily reduces your available credit until released after you return the vehicle
• Your bank controls when the hold disappears from your statement, which can take up to 15 business days after return
• 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, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted for the deposit
• Premium or specialty vehicle classes may require a higher hold amount at the Coral Gables Alamo counter

If you are traveling from abroad, notify your bank before your trip to ensure your card is enabled for in-person transactions in the United States and that the authorization will not be blocked as a fraud alert. Bringing a backup credit card is also recommended.

Yes, drivers under 25 years old are subject to a young-driver surcharge when renting from Alamo in Coral Gables.

In Florida, the minimum age to rent with Alamo is 21. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent but will pay an additional daily fee at the Coral Gables counter. Alamo charges US$15 per day for young renters, and certain vehicle classes such as full-size SUVs, premium, luxury, convertible, and minivan categories are typically restricted to drivers 25 and older.

Drivers aged 21 to 24 renting in Coral Gables are generally limited to smaller categories such as economy, compact, intermediate, and compact SUV vehicles.

To avoid surprises at the Alamo counter in Coral Gables:

• Select an eligible vehicle class when booking
• Budget for the daily young-driver surcharge on top of your rental rate
• Bring a valid driver's license and, if your license is not in English or uses a non-Latin alphabet, an International Driving Permit

Alamo rentals in Coral Gables follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid fuel charges.

Steps to follow to avoid extra charges:

• 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 before leaving the Coral Gables counter
• Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the return location so the gauge does not drop below full before you arrive
• Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address

If you return the vehicle below the recorded starting level, Alamo will charge you for the fuel shortfall at the partner's refueling rate, which is typically higher than retail pump prices, plus a refueling service fee.

When planning your return to the Coral Gables location, use a navigation app to find the nearest gas station to 4125 Ponce De Leon Blvd before dropping off the vehicle.

The insurance coverage included with your Alamo rental in Coral Gables depends on the rate plan you selected when booking. It is important to review your booking confirmation carefully before arriving at the Coral Gables counter.

The two main types of coverage to look for are:

• Collision Damage Waiver or Loss Damage Waiver (CDW/LDW), which reduces your financial liability for damage to the Alamo rental vehicle itself. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation explicitly states zero deductible. CDW/LDW does not cover damage you cause to other vehicles or people.
• Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI), which covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving. In Florida, not all rental rates automatically include supplemental liability above the state minimum, so checking your confirmation is essential.

CDW/LDW and LIS/ALI/SLI are separate protections and both are needed for comprehensive coverage. Neither covers your personal belongings or your own medical costs in an accident.

If you are unsure what is included in your Alamo Coral Gables booking, review the rate details on your confirmation or contact support before pickup.

Yes, most bookings made through Hola Car Rentals, including Alamo rentals in Coral Gables, include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection. However, this benefit does not apply to customers who are residents or citizens of the United States or Canada.

For eligible travelers, the coverage is relevant in Coral Gables and the surrounding South Florida area, where driving on expressways such as the Florida Turnpike or I-95 can occasionally lead to unexpected situations far from your accommodation. 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

If you need assistance during your Alamo rental in Coral Gables, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day at +1 888 980 9992 or via WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call.

Coverage limits and exclusions vary by booking. Always review the terms on your confirmation for the exact scope of your protection.

Yes, it is possible to pick up your Alamo vehicle in Coral Gables and return it at a different location such as Miami International Airport (MIA), but a one-way or drop-off fee may apply depending on your route.

For routes between the Coral Gables city center location and MIA, the drop-off fee may be low or waived given the short distance between the two locations, but this depends on the specific Alamo rate and availability at the time of booking. The fee is always shown during the booking process under the section labeled as the amount due at destination.

Key things to confirm before booking a one-way Alamo rental from Coral Gables:

• Check the booking details page for any drop-off fee listed under the amount to pay at destination
• Verify the fee on your booking confirmation before pickup
• At the Alamo counter in Coral Gables, confirm the drop-off fee matches your confirmation; if a different amount is charged, keep all paperwork and contact support

One-way fees are not covered by the No Extra Charges© guarantee if they were disclosed on your confirmation. However, if an undisclosed fee is added at the Coral Gables counter, that protection may apply after verification.
