No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Alamo booking in Denver 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 Denver 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 at Denver International Airport (DEN) is located at 24530 E 78th Ave, Denver, CO 80249. To reach it, head outside baggage claim and board the Alamo shuttle at Curb 4 in the pick-up area. The shuttle will take you directly to the Alamo facility.

Once at the facility, you have several check-in options:

• Standard counter service: speak with an agent to obtain your rental agreement
• Touch-screen kiosk: skip the counter line, print a receipt-sized rental agreement, and proceed to your car on the lot
• Accelerated Check-in with Skip the Counter: activate this free service online before arrival, confirm protection options in advance, and go directly to your assigned car. You only need to show your rental agreement and driver's license at the exit booth
• Standard Accelerated Check-in: provide your driver's license and contact information online before arrival to reduce counter wait time

The Alamo Denver location is open 24 hours a day, every day, so there is no need to worry about late arrivals. Keep in mind that Denver International Airport is approximately 25 miles from downtown Denver, so allow extra travel time after picking up your vehicle.

Colorado's toll roads around Denver are entirely cashless. There are no cash booths. Overhead cameras photograph license plates and bill drivers either through an ExpressToll account (with a transponder) or via License Plate Tolling (LPT), which is the undiscounted video-billing rate. ExpressToll users typically save 25 to 35 percent compared to LPT rates.

The main toll roads you may encounter near Denver include:

• E-470: a 47-mile loop around Denver leading to the airport, with variable pricing based on time and distance
• I-25 Express Lanes: approximately US$0.50 to US$5.00 per trip depending on time of day
• US-36 Express Lanes and Northwest Parkway: also cashless and transponder-based

Your Alamo rental vehicle comes equipped with an electronic toll device. At the counter you can choose an unlimited toll package, which typically costs between US$11 and US$25 per day depending on the program, or pay per use. If you opt out of the program, Alamo will receive the LPT invoice and bill you the undiscounted toll amount plus administrative fees, which can be US$9.99 per day or more on top of the actual tolls.

There are no congestion charges or emissions zones in Denver or anywhere in Colorado. Only standard express lane tolls apply.

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

• A valid, unexpired driver's license with a photograph. Digital licenses are not accepted, and the license must remain valid for the entire rental period
• A major credit card in the main driver's name, with the driver's name printed on the physical card, for the security deposit hold
• A passport or valid government-issued photo ID (recommended for international visitors)
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher if required

If your driver's license is not in English and does not use a Latin (Roman) alphabet, for example if it is in Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory. For licenses in other non-English scripts, an IDP is strongly recommended. The IDP is a translation only and must be carried alongside your original license at all times.

Alamo at Denver International Airport does not accept digital documents. All documents must be originals. Visitors arriving from outside the United States should also carry their round-trip flight tickets or cruise tickets as supporting documentation.

Yes, all bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include Tolls Cashback, which lets you recover up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your Alamo rental in Denver.

This is especially useful in Denver, where cashless toll roads such as E-470, the I-25 Express Lanes, and US-36 Express Lanes can add up quickly over the course of a rental. You still pay tolls normally through the Alamo toll program or directly, and then claim your cashback afterward.

To claim:

• Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning your vehicle
• Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback - Reservation [Your Confirmation Number]
• Attach your Hola Car Rentals confirmation, the Alamo rental agreement, and a toll receipt or invoice showing charges paid during the rental period

Example: if your booking total is US$500, the cashback cap is US$25. If you paid US$18 in Denver tolls, you receive US$18 back. If you paid US$40, you receive US$25 (the cap). Refunds are issued to your original payment method within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Late submissions beyond 30 days are not accepted.

Yes, Alamo charges a young driver surcharge in Denver for renters between the ages of 21 and 24. The underage fee is US$25 per day at the Denver International Airport location.

In addition to the daily surcharge, drivers aged 21 to 24 are restricted to specific vehicle classes at the Alamo Denver counter. Eligible categories are generally limited to economy through full-size cars, cargo and minivans, pickups, and compact, small, or standard SUVs with up to 5 passengers. Premium, luxury, and specialty vehicles are not available to drivers under 25.

Drivers must be at least 21 years old to rent from Alamo at Denver. Drivers under 21 are not permitted to rent. At 25 and older, no underage surcharge applies.

If you are aged 21 to 24 and traveling from Latin America or the Caribbean, check whether your Hola Car Rentals confirmation shows an underage fee waiver. This exception applies only to Avis and Budget bookings, not to Alamo Denver rentals, so the standard US$25 per day fee applies at the Alamo counter.

Yes, Alamo at Denver International Airport accepts debit cards under specific conditions, but a major credit card is strongly recommended and is the most reliable option.

At the Denver airport location, a debit card is only accepted if it is accompanied by a ticketed return travel itinerary. Additionally, the name and address on the driver's license must match the current home address on the debit card account. Active duty military members are exempt from the address-matching requirement.

Even if a debit card is accepted for the rental itself, a major credit card in the main driver's name with the driver's name printed on the physical card is required for the security deposit hold. Prepaid cards and virtual cards are not accepted for the deposit under any circumstances.

To avoid complications at the Alamo Denver counter, bring a physical major credit card with sufficient available credit to cover the security hold, which is typically around US$300 to US$400 for standard vehicles at U.S. airport locations.

Denver uses photo radar vans and fixed red-light cameras to enforce speed limits, and rental car drivers should be aware of how fines are handled.

Photo radar vans operate in residential streets with speed limits at or below 35 mph, in park-adjacent roads, school zones, and work zones. Signs reading Photo Radar In Use are posted approximately 300 feet before each van. Fines start at US$40 in residential and park zones and US$80 in school and work zones. Unlike officer-issued tickets, photo radar fines do not add points to your license.

Red-light cameras operate 24 hours a day at four specific Denver intersections:

• 6th Avenue and Kalamath (eastbound)
• 6th Avenue and Lincoln (eastbound)
• 8th Avenue and Speer (westbound)
• 36th Avenue and Quebec (northbound)

Fines range from US$40 if front tires cross the stop bar to US$75 if rear tires pass the line or you drive through entirely.

When driving an Alamo rental in Denver, any photo-enforcement fines are typically billed to the credit card on file after the rental ends, along with an administrative processing fee from Alamo. Keep this in mind when driving through residential neighborhoods and the intersections listed above.

When you pick up your Alamo rental at Denver International Airport, a temporary authorization hold is placed on your major credit card. This is not a charge but it reduces your available credit until the rental is closed and your bank releases the hold.

For standard vehicles at U.S. airport locations, including Alamo in Denver, the typical hold is approximately US$300 to US$400. The exact amount can vary based on:

• The vehicle class you rent (premium or specialty vehicles may carry a higher hold)
• The length of your rental period
• Alamo's specific policies at the Denver location on the day of pick-up

The hold must be placed on a physical major credit card in the main driver's name, with the driver's name printed on the card. Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted for the deposit. After you return the vehicle, Alamo releases the hold, but your bank or card issuer controls when the funds become available again. This can take up to 15 business days in some cases.

Bring a backup credit card to the Alamo Denver counter in case your primary card is declined or does not have sufficient available credit.

Most bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include Travel Assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection, and this applies to your Alamo rental in Denver as well. However, this benefit is available only to non-North American customers. Residents of the United States and Canada do not qualify.

If you are eligible, the coverage 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

This can be particularly relevant when driving in the Denver area, where highways such as E-470 and I-25 see heavy traffic and incidents can occur far from the city center. If you need assistance during your Alamo rental in Denver, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day:

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

Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call. This coverage does not replace CDW/LDW for vehicle damage or third-party liability insurance.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Alamo rental in Denver, but the additional driver must be present at the counter at the time of pick-up with a valid driver's license.

At the Alamo Denver location, the fee for an additional driver is US$15 per day, unless your booking confirmation explicitly states that an additional driver is included at no charge. Check your Hola Car Rentals confirmation before arriving at the counter.

There is one exception: a spouse or domestic partner who meets the same age and license requirements is considered an authorized driver at no additional charge. However, if the rental is secured with a debit card, the spouse or domestic partner is the only additional driver permitted.

To add a driver at the Alamo Denver counter:

• The additional driver must be physically present at pick-up
• They must present a valid, unexpired driver's license (and an IDP if their license uses a non-Latin alphabet)
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement
• The additional driver must meet the minimum age requirement of 21 at the Denver location

Only drivers listed on the rental agreement are covered by protections such as CDW/LDW. Do not allow anyone not named on the contract to drive the vehicle.

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

At pick-up at the Denver Alamo counter:

• Verify the fuel gauge with the agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on your rental agreement
• Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and fuel gauge
• Ask the agent for the nearest gas stations to the return location

When returning your vehicle to the Alamo facility at Denver International Airport, 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 with less than a full tank, Alamo may charge you for the fuel shortfall at their refueling rate, which is typically higher than retail pump prices, plus a refueling service fee. For after-hours returns at the Denver location, leave your fuel receipt in the key envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge on your phone as documentation.

Yes, after-hours returns are available at the Alamo location at Denver International Airport. Because the Alamo Denver facility is open 24 hours a day, every day, a staffed return is available at any time. However, if you arrive outside peak hours, the process may be self-service.

For after-hours drop-off at the Denver Alamo facility:

• Park the vehicle in the designated return area at the rental car facility
• Place the keys in the drop box provided
• Keep a photo of the fuel gauge showing a full tank and note the odometer reading
• Retain your fuel receipt from the last fill-up near the airport
• Enterprise Holdings, which operates the same facility, also provides 24-hour airport transportation back to the terminal

Because the Alamo Denver location is staffed around the clock, you can also complete a standard return with an agent at any hour. If you have any concerns about charges appearing after the rental closes, such as tolls or fuel fees, contact Hola Car Rentals support with your rental agreement and receipts as documentation.

Yes, Denver has been actively converting certain one-way streets to two-way traffic, and this can catch drivers off guard, especially in unfamiliar areas.

The East Colfax corridor, including sections of E. 13th and 14th Avenues between Quebec and Yosemite, has seen rapid one-way to two-way conversions. Signage at these transition points has been reported as inconsistent, and the changes were implemented quickly. Speed limits in these areas were also reduced from 30 mph to 25 mph as part of the conversion.

Additional areas to be aware of when driving your Alamo rental in Denver:

• Downtown Denver streets around Blake, Larimer, and the central grid are also being considered for two-way conversion, which could affect navigation mid-trip if implemented
• Speed limits in residential areas are generally 25 mph, and photo radar vans enforce these limits actively
• Work zones on highways in the Denver metro area are subject to increased speed enforcement through CDOT programs

Before driving your Alamo rental in Denver, set your GPS or navigation app to real-time updates so it reflects current street directions. Relying on printed maps or outdated navigation data may lead you into a one-way street incorrectly.
