No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Avis 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 Avis 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 Avis 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 Avis 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 Avis location in Coral Gables operates exclusively from the Loews Coral Gables Hotel at 2950 Coconut Grove Dr, Coral Gables, FL 33134, and is restricted to guests staying at that hotel.

Pickup works differently depending on your Avis membership status:

• Preferred, Preferred Plus, and Presidents Club members have their vehicle delivered directly to the hotel at the requested time.
• All other hotel guests are picked up by shuttle at the requested time and brought to the Avis location at 1201 NW Le Jeune Rd to complete the rental process.
• All guests meet an Avis associate in the roundabout at the front of the hotel.

A reservation must be made at least 24 hours in advance. If you need to book with less than 24 hours notice, contact the Coral Gables Avis location directly to confirm whether vehicle delivery can be arranged. If you are not staying at the Loews Hotel, this Avis location cannot serve you and you should use the Avis office at 1201 NW Le Jeune Rd instead.

The Avis counter at the Loews Coral Gables Hotel operates on the following schedule:

• Monday to Friday: 08:00 AM to 06:00 PM
• Saturday: 08:00 AM to 04:00 PM
• Sunday: 08:00 AM to 12:00 PM

If you need to return your Avis vehicle in Coral Gables outside of these hours, you have two options:

• Use the key drop box at the location. Be aware that you remain fully responsible for the vehicle, including any damage or theft, until the contract is closed on the next business day.
• Return the vehicle directly to the Avis location at 1201 NW Le Jeune Rd, where an associate will provide a ride back to the Loews Hotel. This option avoids the after-hours liability risk.

Planning your return during office hours is strongly recommended to ensure the contract closes promptly and your security deposit hold is released without delay.

When collecting your Avis rental in Coral Gables, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:

• A valid, original 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. Prepaid debit cards, gift cards, and virtual cards are not accepted.
• 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 issued in the United States, Avis in Coral Gables requires you to also present a passport or, for Canadian license holders, a Canadian enhanced license. If your license uses a non-Latin alphabet such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory and must be carried alongside your original license.

All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted at the Avis counter.

Florida's toll roads are almost entirely cashless, and this applies to all routes you are likely to use around Coral Gables, including the Florida Turnpike and I-95 Express lanes near Miami. Your Avis rental vehicle will include an electronic toll device or a plate-based billing system.

At the Avis counter in Coral Gables, you will typically have two options:

• Unlimited toll package: approximately US$6.95 per day for Avis, capped at around US$34.75 per month, covering all tolls during your rental period.
• Pay per use: if you decline the package but still drive through a toll, Avis will charge the toll amount plus administrative fees to your credit card, sometimes days or weeks after the rental ends.

If you plan to use your own visitor toll pass such as Florida's SunPass, inform the Avis associate at the Coral Gables counter so they can deactivate the vehicle's default device and prevent duplicate charges.

Estimated daily toll costs in the Miami area around Coral Gables range from approximately US$5 to US$20 depending on your route. All bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include Tolls Cashback, letting you recover up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your rental.

Yes, a major credit card in the main driver's name is required to rent from Avis in Coral Gables.

The card must be physical, with the driver's name printed on it, and must have sufficient available credit to cover the security deposit hold. For standard vehicles in the United States, Avis typically places a hold of approximately US$300 to US$400 on the card at pickup. This is a temporary authorization, not a charge, and is released after the vehicle is returned, though your bank may take up to 15 business days to reflect the release.

The following are not accepted for the security deposit at the Avis Coral Gables counter:

• Prepaid debit cards or gift cards
• Virtual or single-use card numbers
• Cards in another person's name

Even if you have prepaid your booking in full, you must still present a physical credit card at the Avis counter in Coral Gables for the deposit hold. Bringing a backup credit card is recommended in case your primary card is declined.

Returning your Avis vehicle in Coral Gables at the Loews Hotel location involves a specific process that differs from a standard rental return.

You have two options when returning:

• Leave the keys and valet ticket with the hotel concierge and call Avis to advise of the return. An Avis associate will come to collect the vehicle. Note that additional expenses may apply with this method.
• Drive the vehicle directly to the Avis location at 1201 NW Le Jeune Rd. An Avis associate will then provide a ride back to the Loews Hotel in Coral Gables. This option avoids potential extra charges.

If you return outside of Avis counter hours (Monday to Friday 08:00 AM to 06:00 PM, Saturday 08:00 AM to 04:00 PM, Sunday 08:00 AM to 12:00 PM), a key drop box is available. However, you remain responsible for the vehicle and all associated charges until the contract is formally closed on the next business day.

Before returning, refuel the tank to the level recorded on your rental agreement to avoid fuel shortfall charges and the partner's refueling service fee.

Coral Gables has a road layout that is notably different from most U.S. cities, and first-time drivers in an Avis rental should be prepared for several specific challenges.

• Traffic circles and roundabouts: Coral Gables has over 71 traffic circles, many with small radii and no splitter islands. Yielding rules apply at each one, and the density is far higher than in typical U.S. suburbs.
• Diagonal main roads: US 1 (South Dixie Highway) runs diagonally through the city and intersects Bird Road and Coral Way at non-perpendicular angles, creating unexpected turns for drivers used to grid layouts.
• Narrowed driving lanes: Recent streetscape projects on Miracle Mile and Giralda Avenue have expanded sidewalks, converted parking configurations, and reduced lane widths, making navigation tighter than expected.
• Pedestrian priority zones: Raised intersections, textured pavement, and bulb-outs throughout Coral Gables require frequent stops for pedestrians, which differs from car-centric U.S. driving norms.
• One-way streets and traffic diverters: Some residential streets include chicanes and triangular islands to calm traffic, which can feel labyrinthine to visitors.

Using GPS navigation is strongly recommended when driving your Avis rental around Coral Gables, particularly on residential streets.

Yes, most bookings made through Hola Car Rentals, including Avis rentals in Coral Gables, include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection at no extra cost.

This coverage is particularly useful if you experience a medical emergency or other travel disruption while driving around Coral Gables or the wider Miami-Dade area. Core benefits typically include:

• 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 access 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 does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada. It also does not cover damage to the Avis rental vehicle itself (that is handled by CDW/LDW) or third-party liability (covered by LIS/ALI/SLI). Always check your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your reservation.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Avis rental in Coral Gables, but the rules and costs depend on your rate and the driver's age.

If your booking confirmation explicitly states that an additional driver is included at no charge, the first extra driver is free. If it is not included, Avis charges US$13 per rental day plus taxes, with a maximum cap of US$65 plus taxes for the rental period.

To add a driver at the Coral Gables Avis counter, the following conditions apply:

• The additional driver must be physically present at pickup to show a valid driver's license and sign the rental agreement.
• For Avis in Coral Gables, additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old.
• The additional driver must meet the same document requirements as the main driver, including an IDP if their license uses a non-Latin alphabet.

Only drivers named on the rental agreement are covered by protections such as CDW/LDW and liability coverage. Anyone who drives the vehicle without being listed on the contract may void those protections entirely.

Yes, Avis in Coral Gables applies a young-driver surcharge for renters between the ages of 21 and 24. Florida is not one of the states (such as New York or Michigan) that legally requires rentals to drivers under 21, so the minimum age at this Avis location is 21.

Drivers aged 21 to 24 should be aware of the following:

• A daily young-renter surcharge applies and is paid at the counter.
• Most vehicle classes, including full-size sedans, SUVs, minivans, convertibles, and premium categories, are restricted to drivers aged 25 and over.
• Economy, compact, medium sedan, standard sedan, compact SUV, and medium SUV categories are generally available to younger renters.

There is one notable exception: if you are a citizen or resident of Latin America or the Caribbean and your Hola Car Rentals confirmation explicitly states that the underage fee is waived, Avis in Coral Gables will not charge the young-driver surcharge for the main driver. This exception applies only to eligible rate plans and eligible vehicle categories, and does not extend to additional drivers aged 21 to 24.

The insurance coverage included with your Avis rental in Coral Gables depends on the rate plan you selected when booking through Hola Car Rentals.

The two main types of protection to understand are:

• Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): reduces your financial liability for damage to the Avis rental vehicle itself, including theft and vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation states zero excess. 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. In Florida, not all rental locations are required by state law to include minimum liability coverage, so checking your confirmation is important.

Neither CDW/LDW nor LIS/ALI/SLI covers your personal injuries (that requires PAI) or your belongings (that requires PEC). Only drivers named on the Avis rental agreement in Coral Gables are covered by these protections.

Review your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation carefully to confirm which coverages are included in your specific rate and whether any deductible applies before you arrive at the Coral Gables counter.

All bookings made through Hola Car Rentals, including Avis rentals in Coral Gables, include Tolls Cashback, which reimburses you for tolls paid during your rental up to 5% of your total booking value.

Given that the Miami area around Coral Gables has extensive cashless toll roads, including the Florida Turnpike and I-95 Express lanes, this benefit can meaningfully offset your toll costs.

To claim your cashback after returning your Avis vehicle in Coral Gables:

• Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle.
• Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback, followed by your Hola Car Rentals reservation number.
• Attach your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation, the rental agreement signed at the Avis counter, and a toll receipt or statement showing the charges paid during your rental.
• Include your full name, travel dates, and the last 4 digits of the card used for your booking.

Refunds are processed to the original payment method and typically arrive within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Claims submitted after 30 days are not accepted, so keep your toll receipts and submit promptly after your Coral Gables rental ends.

Your Avis rental in Coral Gables follows a Full-to-Full fuel policy by default. This means you receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it at the same level to avoid fuel charges.

To avoid charges at the end of your Coral Gables rental:

• Check the fuel gauge with the Avis associate at pickup and confirm the starting level is recorded on the rental agreement.
• Take a photo of the dashboard showing the gauge and odometer before driving away.
• Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the return location before dropping off the vehicle.
• Keep your final fuel receipt as evidence in case of any dispute.

If you return the Avis vehicle in Coral Gables with less fuel than recorded at pickup, you may be charged for the shortfall at the partner's refueling rate, which is typically higher than the pump price, plus a refueling service fee.

If the vehicle was not full at pickup, ask the Avis associate to record the exact starting level on the agreement. You are only required to return it at that same level, not necessarily full. Some Avis counter locations may offer an optional prepaid fuel plan; if you accept it, any unused fuel is generally non-refundable.
