No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Budget booking in Las Vegas 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 Budget 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 Budget counter in Las Vegas 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 Budget 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 Budget counter in Las Vegas is not inside the airport terminals. Budget operates from the off-airport Las Vegas Rental Car Center located at 7135 Gilespie St, Las Vegas, NV 89119, approximately 3 miles south of the terminals.

To reach the Budget counter, follow these steps after landing:

• From Terminal 1, exit to the kerb following Ground Transportation signs
• From Terminal 3, go to Level Zero outside
• Board the dedicated rental car shuttle, which runs frequently and takes approximately 6 to 8 minutes to the Rental Car Center
• At the center, proceed to the Budget counter inside the main entrance to complete paperwork, then collect your vehicle from the designated lot

No walking route connects the terminals directly to the Budget pickup area; the shuttle is required for all renters. Allow 25 to 45 minutes from deplaning to driving away if you have carry-on luggage, and 35 to 60 minutes if you have checked bags. Add extra buffer during peak arrival periods.

The Budget counter at the Las Vegas Rental Car Center operates 24 hours a day, every day of the week, making it one of the most convenient options for renters arriving on late-night or early-morning flights into Las Vegas.

Budget also offers 24-hour vehicle drop-off at the same facility, so you can return your car at any time without needing a staff member present.

If you are picking up from a Budget city-center location in Las Vegas, such as the Sahara Pavilion North branch, hours are more limited. Typical city-center hours run Monday through Friday 7 AM to 4 PM, Saturday 8 AM to 4 PM, and Sunday 10 AM to 2 PM. These hours can vary, so always confirm your specific location's schedule on your booking confirmation before arriving.

If your flight is delayed, Budget will hold your reservation for up to 24 hours from the original pickup time. If the delay exceeds 24 hours, contact support as soon as possible to avoid losing your reservation.

No, there are no toll roads in Las Vegas or anywhere in Nevada. All public highways, interstates, and state routes in Nevada, including I-15, US-95, and the Las Vegas Beltway (CC-215), are completely toll-free. Your Budget rental will not incur any toll charges while driving within Nevada.

Because Nevada has no toll infrastructure, you do not need to enroll in any toll program, purchase a transponder package, or worry about cashless toll billing during your Las Vegas rental.

However, if you plan to drive your Budget rental beyond Nevada into neighboring states such as California, toll roads may apply. California uses the FasTrak system on several highways and bridges. In that case, the toll device already installed in your Budget vehicle would be used, and charges would be billed according to the rental agreement terms.

Keep all toll receipts from any out-of-state driving, as Hola Car Rentals includes Tolls Cashback on every booking, allowing you to claim up to 5% of your total booking value back for tolls paid during your rental period.

Yes, Hola Car Rentals includes Tolls Cashback on every Budget booking, including Las Vegas rentals, even though Nevada itself has no toll roads.

If you drive your Budget rental from Las Vegas into California or another state with tolls, you can claim up to 5% of your total booking value back for tolls paid during the rental period. Here is how to claim:

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

Refunds are issued to the original payment method and typically process within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Late submissions received after 30 days are not accepted, so act promptly after returning your Budget rental in Las Vegas.

To pick up your Budget rental in Las Vegas, you must present all of the following physical documents at the counter:

• A valid, original driver's license in the main driver's name (not a digital copy)
• A major credit card with the driver's name printed on the physical card, used 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. 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.

Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted for the security deposit at the Budget counter in Las Vegas. All documents must be physical originals; digital versions will not be accepted.

When picking up your Budget rental in Las Vegas, the counter will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card as a security deposit. For standard vehicle classes 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 Budget location.

A few important points to keep in mind:

• The hold is not a charge; it temporarily reduces your available credit until released after you return the vehicle
• Your bank controls how quickly the hold disappears after return, which can take up to 15 business days
• Premium or specialty vehicles may require a higher hold amount
• Only a physical major credit card in the main driver's name with the name printed on the card is accepted; debit and prepaid cards are not permitted for the deposit at the Budget counter in Las Vegas

Bring a backup credit card in case your primary card is declined, and notify your bank of your Las Vegas travel dates to prevent fraud blocks on the authorization.

Yes, picking up a Budget rental at the Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport Rental Car Center adds several mandatory local fees on top of your base rate. These are standard charges applied to all airport rentals in Las Vegas and are not specific to Budget.

• Customer Facility Charge (CFC): US$6 per day, capped at US$60 per trip
• Airport Concession Fee (ACF): 10% of the base rental rate, with no cap
• Clark County Rental Vehicle Fee: US$3 per day, capped at US$36
• Nevada state rental tax also applies

Combined, these fees typically add 20 to 30% above the base rate, making Las Vegas airport rentals among the higher-cost pickup points in the United States.

If your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation shows these taxes and fees as included, you should not be billed separately for them at the Budget counter. If you are charged for items already marked as included, the No Extra Charges© guarantee may apply after verification.

To avoid airport surcharges entirely, consider a Budget city-center location in Las Vegas, such as the Sahara Pavilion North branch, though you will need to arrange your own transport from the airport.

The minimum age to rent a Budget car in Las Vegas without a young-renter surcharge is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent but will be charged an additional daily underage fee at the Budget counter.

For Budget in Las Vegas, the underage surcharge is US$13 per rental day plus taxes, with a maximum charge of US$65 plus taxes for the rental period.

Drivers under 25 are also restricted from renting certain vehicle classes. Categories such as full-size SUVs, premium, luxury, convertibles, minivans, and vans are generally reserved for renters aged 25 and older. Economy, compact, and intermediate vehicles are typically available to younger drivers.

There is one notable exception for Budget in Las Vegas: if you are a resident or citizen of Latin America or the Caribbean, aged 21 to 24, and your Hola Car Rentals confirmation explicitly states the underage fee is waived, you may qualify for the Avis and Budget underage fee exception. You must present a passport or government ID proving your nationality at the Budget counter in Las Vegas to benefit from this waiver.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Budget rental in Las Vegas, either as part of your rate or by paying a fee at the counter.

For Budget in Las Vegas, the additional driver fee is US$13 per rental day plus taxes, with a maximum charge of US$65 plus taxes. If your Hola Car Rentals confirmation explicitly states that an additional driver is included at no charge, you should not be billed for the first extra driver.

Requirements for adding a driver at the Budget counter in Las Vegas:

• The additional driver must be physically present at pickup to show a valid driver's license and sign the rental agreement
• They must meet the same document requirements as the main driver, including an IDP if their license uses a non-Latin alphabet
• For Budget in Las Vegas, additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old; drivers aged 21 to 24 may be subject to an underage fee or may not be accepted

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

Budget rentals in Las Vegas follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy by default. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.

Steps to follow for a smooth fuel return in Las Vegas:

• At pickup, check the fuel gauge with the Budget agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on the rental agreement
• Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and fuel gauge
• Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the Budget return location at the Las Vegas Rental Car Center on Gilespie St before dropping off
• Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address
• For after-hours returns, leave the receipt in the key envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge

If you return the Budget vehicle in Las Vegas 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 retail pump prices, plus a refueling service fee. Returning the car full is always the most cost-effective option.

Driving a Budget rental in Las Vegas involves a few road features that can catch first-time visitors off guard, even if you are an experienced driver.

• Downtown one-way couplets: streets like Bonneville (eastbound) and Clark (westbound) run in opposite directions between Las Vegas Boulevard and Maryland Parkway, creating counterflow patterns unfamiliar to drivers from grid-based cities
• Diverging diamond interchanges: the I-15 and US-93 Garnet Interchange uses a modified design where traffic crosses to access ramps, requiring left turns through crossovers that confuse first-time drivers
• Las Vegas Beltway (CC-215) mixed segments: this ring road shifts between full freeway and expressway sections with at-grade intersections, unlike the complete loops found in other major cities
• Vegas Loop tunnel merges: Tesla shuttle vehicles from the Convention Center Loop merge onto shared surface roads used by rental cars, causing unexpected bottlenecks during events

Nevada has no toll roads, so your Budget rental in Las Vegas will not encounter any toll plazas or cashless toll gantries on any of these routes. Plan extra time when navigating the Strip and downtown areas, especially during major events.

Most Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Budget rentals in Las Vegas, include travel assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection at no extra cost. This benefit covers up to 5 passengers and is designed for situations that go beyond the rental vehicle itself.

Coverage typically includes:

• Medical assistance for accidents or non-pre-existing illnesses during your Las Vegas trip
• Legal assistance in the event of a road accident
• Compensation for luggage lost by the airline
• Flight cancellation insurance

If you need help while driving your Budget rental in Las Vegas or the surrounding area, contact the assistance line 24 hours a day:

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

Provide your full name, your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number, your location, and a brief description of the situation. Follow the coordinator's instructions and keep all receipts and reports.

Important: this travel assistance benefit does not apply to residents or citizens of the United States or Canada. It also does not cover damage to the Budget rental vehicle itself; that is handled by CDW/LDW coverage.

Yes, one-way rentals with Budget in Las Vegas are possible, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on your return location.

Here is how it works:

• Returning to a different Budget location within Las Vegas, such as from the airport Rental Car Center to a Strip hotel branch, may not incur a drop-off fee, but this depends on the specific route
• Returning your Budget rental to a city in another state, such as Los Angeles or Phoenix, will typically trigger a one-way drop-off fee that varies by distance, vehicle class, and season
• Cross-border returns, for example returning a Las Vegas Budget rental in Canada, are generally restricted or carry high fees if permitted at all

The drop-off fee for your Las Vegas Budget booking is always shown during the checkout process under the section labeled as the amount due at destination. It will also appear on your booking confirmation. This fee cannot be prepaid and is paid directly at the Budget counter.

If the Budget counter in Las Vegas charges a drop-off fee that was not disclosed on your Hola Car Rentals confirmation, keep all paperwork and contact support, as the No Extra Charges© guarantee may apply after verification.
