Will I face unexpected charges at the Alamo counter in Regina when I book through Hola Car Rentals?
No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Alamo booking in Regina 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 Regina 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)
Where is the Alamo counter at Regina International Airport (YQR)?
The Alamo counter at Regina International Airport is located inside the terminal building at 5201 Regina Ave. After collecting your baggage, follow the car rental signs to the in-terminal counter. Once you have completed the paperwork, your vehicle is parked immediately outside the terminal building, so no shuttle is required.
The in-terminal Alamo counter in Regina operates daily from 09:00 to 23:59. Note that the counter is unstaffed between 00:00 and 02:00, so if your flight arrives during that window, plan accordingly and confirm after-hours arrangements in advance.
There is also an off-airport Alamo location at 4850 Buffalo Trail, approximately 0.8 miles from YQR. That site is not connected to the terminal by a shuttle, so you would need public transport or another means to reach it. For most arrivals at Regina Airport, the in-terminal counter at 5201 Regina Ave is the most convenient option.
Are there toll roads in Regina or Saskatchewan with an Alamo rental?
No, there are no toll roads anywhere in Saskatchewan, including Regina. Driving your Alamo rental throughout the province, including on the Regina Bypass (Highway 1 to Highway 11) and all city streets, is completely toll-free. You will not encounter cashless toll gantries, toll booths, or any congestion charges similar to those found in Ontario or major U.S. cities.
Because Saskatchewan has no tolls, you do not need to enroll in any toll program at the Alamo counter in Regina, and there is no risk of receiving a post-rental toll invoice for driving in the province.
If your travel plans take you beyond Saskatchewan into provinces or U.S. states that do have tolls, the standard Alamo toll device and billing rules would apply in those areas. Keep all toll receipts from those portions of your trip, as they may be eligible for the Tolls Cashback benefit described in a separate FAQ below.
What documents do I need to pick up my Alamo rental in Regina?
When collecting your Alamo rental in Regina, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:
- Your original, unexpired driver's license in the main driver's name
- A major credit card (Visa or Mastercard) with the driver's name printed on the physical card, for the security deposit hold
- A valid passport or government-issued photo ID
- Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
- Round-trip flight or travel tickets (required for visitors from outside Canada)
If your driver's license is not in English and does not use a Latin alphabet (for example, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script), you must also carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your original license. The IDP is a translation only and is not valid without the original license.
All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted at the Alamo counter in Regina. Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit hold.
Does my Alamo booking in Regina include Tolls Cashback if I drive outside Saskatchewan?
Yes, all Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Alamo rentals originating in Regina, include the Tolls Cashback benefit. Since Saskatchewan itself has no toll roads, this benefit becomes relevant if your trip takes you into other Canadian provinces or U.S. states where tolls apply.
The benefit reimburses the lesser of the total tolls you paid or up to 5% of your total booking value. For example, if your Alamo booking total is US$500, the maximum cashback is US$25.
To claim after returning your Alamo vehicle in Regina or at your drop-off location, email [email protected] within 30 days of return with:
- Your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation
- A copy of the rental agreement signed at the Alamo counter
- A receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid
Refunds are issued to the original payment method and typically process within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Submissions received after 30 days are not accepted.
How much is the security deposit for an Alamo rental in Regina?
When you pick up your Alamo rental in Regina, the counter will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card. For rentals in Canada, this hold is typically in the range of CAUS$ 300 to CAUS$ 500, though some locations may require a hold of approximately CAUS$ 750 depending on the vehicle class, season, and specific Alamo location policies.
This hold is not a charge. It temporarily reduces your available credit and is released after you return the vehicle. Your bank or card issuer controls how quickly the hold disappears from your statement, which can take up to 15 business days after the rental closes.
A few important points for your Alamo pickup in Regina:
- The card must be a major credit card (Visa or Mastercard) in the main driver's name, with the name printed on the physical card
- Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted for the deposit hold
- Bring a backup credit card in case your primary card is declined
- Notify your bank of your travel plans to avoid fraud blocks on the authorization
The exact hold amount is set by Alamo at the Regina counter and may differ from the estimates above.
Can I add an additional driver to my Alamo rental in Regina?
Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Alamo rental in Regina, either as an included benefit depending on your rate, or by paying a fee at the counter.
For Alamo in Regina, the additional driver fee when not included in your rate is US$15 per day plus applicable taxes. Check your booking confirmation before arriving at the counter: if it states "Additional driver free of charge" or "Additional driver included," the first extra driver is covered at no cost.
Requirements for adding a driver at the Alamo counter in Regina:
- The additional driver must be physically present at pickup
- They must present a valid driver's license (and an IDP if their license uses a non-Latin alphabet)
- They must meet the minimum age requirements for Regina
- Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement
Only drivers named on the rental agreement are covered by protections such as CDW/LDW. If someone drives the Alamo vehicle in Regina without being listed on the contract, coverage may be void and additional charges could apply.
What is the fuel policy for Alamo rentals in Regina?
Alamo rentals in Regina 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 for your Alamo rental in Regina:
- 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 returning the vehicle, refuel within approximately 10 miles or 15 km of the return location so the gauge does not drop below full
- Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address
If you return the Alamo vehicle in Regina 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 the retail pump price, plus a refueling service fee.
Ask the Alamo agent at the Regina counter for the nearest fuel station to the return location when you pick up the car.
Is third-party liability insurance included in my Alamo rental in Regina?
Yes, provincial law in Saskatchewan requires every rental vehicle to carry third-party liability coverage, so statutory liability is included by default when you rent with Alamo in Regina through Hola Car Rentals.
This means you are covered for bodily injury and property damage you may cause to other people while driving the Alamo vehicle in Regina and throughout Saskatchewan. However, the statutory minimum may not be sufficient for all situations, and you can purchase supplemental liability (LIS/ALI/SLI) at the Alamo counter in Regina to increase your coverage limits.
Keep in mind what third-party liability does not cover:
- Damage to the Alamo rental vehicle itself (that requires CDW/LDW)
- Your own personal injuries (that requires PAI)
- Your personal belongings (that requires PEC)
Review your booking confirmation to confirm exactly what is included in your rate before arriving at the Alamo counter in Regina, and ask the agent to clarify the liability limits on your rental agreement.
Does travel assistance cover a breakdown on the road near Regina with an Alamo rental?
Most Hola Car Rentals bookings include travel assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection, which can help in situations such as a medical emergency or legal incident during your Alamo rental near Regina. However, this benefit does not apply to Canadian or U.S. residents. It is designed for travelers visiting from outside North America.
If you qualify and experience an emergency during your Alamo rental in Regina or while driving in Saskatchewan, you can reach the assistance line 24 hours a day:
- Phone (toll-free or collect): +1 888 980 9992
- WhatsApp: +1 208 910 1001
- Email: [email protected]
When you call, provide your full name, your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number, your current location near Regina, and a brief description of the situation. Follow the coordinator's instructions and keep all receipts and reports.
Note that travel assistance covers medical emergencies, legal assistance after an accident, baggage loss by the airline, and flight cancellation. It does not cover damage to the Alamo rental vehicle (that is CDW/LDW) or third-party liability (that is LIS/ALI/SLI). Check your booking confirmation for the exact terms applicable to your reservation.
Can I pick up my Alamo car in Regina and return it in a different city?
Yes, one-way rentals are possible with Alamo, allowing you to pick up in Regina and return the vehicle at a different location. However, a drop-off fee may apply depending on the route, the distance between locations, and the vehicle class.
When booking a one-way Alamo rental from Regina, the drop-off fee will be shown on the rate details page under the "To pay at destination" section during checkout. This fee is not prepaid and is paid directly at the Alamo counter in Regina or at the return location.
A few things to keep in mind:
- Not all routes from Regina incur a drop-off fee; shorter or common routes may have no fee
- Cross-border one-ways (for example, Regina to a U.S. city) may be restricted or carry higher fees depending on Alamo's policies
- Changing your return location after booking may reprice the rental and recalculate the drop-off fee
Always review your booking confirmation to confirm whether a drop-off fee applies to your specific Regina departure route before arriving at the Alamo counter.
What are the Alamo counter hours at Regina Airport and what happens if I arrive late?
The Alamo in-terminal counter at Regina International Airport (YQR) is staffed daily from 09:00 to 23:59. The counter is unstaffed between 00:00 and 02:00, so flights arriving in that window may not have an agent available.
If your flight is delayed and you arrive later than your scheduled pickup time, Alamo in Regina will generally hold your reservation for up to 24 hours from the original pickup time. If the delay pushes your arrival beyond 24 hours, contact Hola Car Rentals support as soon as possible:
- WhatsApp: +1 (786) 999-8312
- Email: [email protected]
For returns, the standard grace period is typically 30 minutes beyond your agreed return time. Returning the Alamo vehicle in Regina after that window may result in charges for extra hours or an additional day, plus any applicable late fees.
If you anticipate an after-hours return at the Regina location, ask the Alamo agent at pickup for specific key-drop or after-hours return instructions and confirm any liability implications until the contract is formally closed.
Does Alamo in Regina require an International Driving Permit (IDP)?
An International Driving Permit (IDP) is not always mandatory for picking up an Alamo rental in Regina, but it is strongly recommended in certain situations.
Visitors to Regina can generally drive with a valid foreign license. However, an IDP is required if your license uses a non-Latin alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script. In that case, you must carry both your original license and the IDP together at the Alamo counter in Regina.
Key points to remember:
- The IDP is a translation document only and is not valid without your original license
- Obtain your IDP in your home country before traveling to Regina, as it cannot be issued abroad
- If your license is in English or uses a Latin alphabet, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required at the Alamo counter in Regina
- All documents presented at the counter must be physical originals; digital copies are not accepted
When in doubt, carry an IDP alongside your original license to avoid any issues at the Alamo counter in Regina.
What insurance options are available for my Alamo rental in Regina?
When picking up your Alamo rental in Regina, you will have the option to add or confirm several types of coverage. Understanding what each one covers helps you avoid gaps in protection.
- CDW/LDW (Collision Damage Waiver / Loss Damage Waiver): reduces your financial liability for damage to or theft of the Alamo vehicle. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation states zero deductible. It does not cover damage you cause to other vehicles or people.
- Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI): covers bodily injury and property damage to others. As noted above, Saskatchewan law requires a statutory minimum to be included with every Alamo rental in Regina, but you can purchase higher limits at the counter.
- PAI (Personal Accident Insurance): covers your own injuries and those of passengers. This is separate from CDW/LDW and liability coverage.
Review your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation before arriving at the Alamo counter in Regina to see exactly which coverages are already included in your rate. If CDW/LDW is listed, confirm the deductible amount on the rental agreement at pickup.
CDW/LDW does not cover prohibited use such as off-road driving, driving under the influence, or use by an unnamed driver. Always add all drivers to the Alamo agreement in Regina to ensure coverage applies.
