Will I face unexpected charges at the Budget counter at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas when I book through Hola Car Rentals?
No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Budget booking at The Venetian Hotel 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 at The Venetian Hotel 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)
Where is the Budget car rental counter at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?
The Budget car rental counter at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas is located at 3355 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109, inside the Venetian Garage on Level 3 in the Valet area. Counter hours are daily from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
To reach the counter from the hotel, take the elevator or stairs to Garage Level 3 and follow signs toward the Valet area. Avoid walking through the casino floor if possible. If you are coming from the Palazzo side, follow internal signage toward the garage.
No pickup or return service is available outside the 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. window, so plan your schedule accordingly. If you need a vehicle outside those hours, consider picking up at Harry Reid International Airport's Rent-A-Car Center instead.
What are the counter hours for Budget car rental at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?
The Budget car rental counter at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas is open daily from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. There is no after-hours pickup or key-drop service available at this location.
If your arrival or departure falls outside these hours, you have two main options:
- Adjust your travel schedule to arrive before 4 p.m. for pickup
- Pick up your Budget rental at Harry Reid International Airport's Rent-A-Car Center (7135 Gilespie Street), which typically has extended hours
Keep in mind that rental companies will generally hold your booking for up to 24 hours from the original pickup time. If you expect a significant delay, contact support as early as possible to avoid losing your reservation.
Are there toll roads to worry about when renting a Budget car at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?
No, Nevada has no toll roads, so driving a Budget rental car from The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas on any public highway, interstate, or state route costs nothing in tolls. Routes such as I-15, US-95, and SR-160 are all toll-free.
There are also no congestion charges, emissions zones, or city-center fees of any kind in Las Vegas or anywhere in Nevada.
One thing to note: state park entry fees (for example, around US$10 per vehicle at Valley of Fire) are not tolls and must be paid separately at the booth or self-pay station. These are not covered by any rental toll program.
Because Nevada is toll-free, you do not need to enroll in any transponder program such as PlatePass for your Budget rental. Toll programs from other states, such as California's FasTrak, do not apply here.
Does Hola Car Rentals offer Tolls Cashback for Budget rentals starting at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?
Yes, all Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Budget rentals picked up at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas, include Tolls Cashback of up to 5% of your total booking value.
Because Nevada has no toll roads, you will not pay any tolls driving around Las Vegas. However, if your trip takes you into neighboring states such as California, where toll roads do exist, any tolls you pay during the rental period are eligible for the cashback.
To claim your Tolls Cashback:
- Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle
- Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback - HOLA[Your Confirmation Number]
- Attach your Hola Car Rentals reservation confirmation, the signed rental agreement, and 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. Late submissions received after 30 days are not accepted.
What extra fees should I expect on a Budget rental at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?
Renting a Budget car at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas involves several local taxes and surcharges on top of the base rate. Nevada and Clark County apply a combined minimum of approximately 18.85% in rental-related taxes, made up of a 10% Nevada rental surcharge, 6.85% state sales tax, and 2% Clark County sales tax.
In addition, on-site hotel rental counters at Strip resorts like The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas typically add a Hotel Concession or Commission Fee Recovery (HCFR), which can be substantial and is charged on top of the standard tax stack. This fee reflects the cost the rental company pays to operate inside the hotel property.
These combined surcharges can make a Strip hotel pickup significantly more expensive than the same Budget rate booked at Harry Reid International Airport or a standard off-airport location. Always review the full breakdown in your booking confirmation under the section showing what is due at the destination.
Optional add-ons such as additional drivers, GPS units, or child seats are also taxed locally and paid at the counter.
What documents do I need to pick up a Budget rental car at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?
To pick up a Budget rental car at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:
- A valid, original driver's license in the main driver's name
- An International Driving Permit (IDP) if your license uses a non-Latin alphabet such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic. The IDP is a translation only and must be carried alongside the original license
- 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
All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted at the counter. Name mismatches between your license, passport, and credit card are a common cause of problems, so verify everything matches before you travel.
Is a credit card required to pick up a Budget rental at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?
Yes, a major credit card in the main driver's name with the driver's name physically printed on the card is required to pick up a Budget rental at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas. The card is used to place a temporary security hold, which is not a charge but reduces your available credit until the rental is closed and your bank releases the hold.
Typical security holds for standard vehicles in the United States range from approximately US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount depends on the vehicle class and the Budget counter's policy at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas.
- Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual or single-use card numbers are not accepted for the deposit
- Digital wallets such as Apple Pay or Google Pay are not accepted for the hold
- The card must belong to the main driver, not a companion or third party
Even if you prepaid your booking in full, you must still present a physical credit card at pickup. Bring a backup card in case your primary card is declined.
Can I return a Budget car rented at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas to a different city?
Yes, one-way rentals are available for Budget cars picked up at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas. You can select a different drop-off location during the booking search by choosing the option for a different return location.
A one-way or drop-off fee may apply depending on the route, vehicle class, and distance. This fee is route-specific and is set by the rental partner. It will be shown during checkout under the section listing what is due at the destination, so you can review it before confirming your booking.
- Same-city routes (for example, The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas to Harry Reid International Airport) often carry no drop-off fee
- Routes to other cities or states typically do carry a one-way fee
- Cross-border one-ways may be restricted or carry higher fees depending on Budget's policies
The one-way fee cannot be prepaid and is not covered by No Extra Charges© unless it was not disclosed in your booking confirmation. If the counter charges a different amount than shown on your confirmation, keep all paperwork and contact support.
Does Travel Assistance apply to Budget rentals at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?
Yes, most Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Budget rentals at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas, include Travel Assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection. However, this benefit does not apply to customers who are residents of the United States or Canada.
For eligible travelers, the 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 experience a breakdown, accident, or medical emergency while driving your Budget rental in or around The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas area, contact the assistance line immediately:
- Phone (toll-free or collect): +1 888 980 9992, available 24/7
- 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. Always check your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your reservation.
What insurance is included in a Budget rental at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?
Budget rental rates booked through Hola Car Rentals at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas typically include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Waiver (Loss Damage Waiver or LDW). These coverages reduce your financial liability if the rental vehicle is damaged in a collision or stolen during your rental period.
A deductible or excess may still apply unless your booking confirmation explicitly states zero deductible. CDW and LDW do not cover:
- Damage or injury caused to third parties (other vehicles, people, or property)
- Tires, wheels, undercarriage, or roof damage in most cases
- Incidents involving prohibited use such as off-road driving or driving under the influence
For third-party liability protection, you may need to add a Liability Insurance Supplement (LIS or SLI) separately. Some U.S. states require rental companies to include minimum statutory liability, but this is not universal. Always review your booking confirmation and the rental agreement at the Budget counter at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas to confirm exactly what is included and what deductible applies.
Can I add an additional driver to my Budget rental at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?
Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Budget rental at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas, either as part of your rate if it is included, or by paying a fee at the counter.
For Budget rentals, the additional driver fee is US$13 per rental day plus applicable taxes, with a maximum charge of US$65 plus taxes for the rental period. Check your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation to see whether an additional driver is already included in your rate at no extra cost.
Requirements for adding a driver at the Budget counter at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas:
- The additional driver must be physically present at pickup
- They must present a valid driver's license and any required IDP
- For Budget rentals, additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old
- Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement
Only drivers listed on the rental agreement are covered by the vehicle's protections such as CDW and LDW. Never allow an unlisted person to drive the vehicle.
Is there a young driver surcharge for Budget rentals at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?
Yes, a young driver surcharge applies to Budget rentals at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas for drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Drivers under 25 are subject to a daily underage fee, and most vehicle classes are restricted to renters aged 25 and older.
If you are between 21 and 24, the vehicle classes most likely available to you are smaller categories such as Economy, Compact, Medium Sedan, Standard Sedan, Compact SUV, and Medium SUV. Premium, luxury, full-size SUV, minivan, and convertible classes typically require the main driver to be at least 25.
One exception applies specifically to Budget rentals: travelers from Latin America and the Caribbean aged 21 to 24 may have the underage fee waived on eligible Hola Car Rentals rates. This waiver must be explicitly shown on your booking confirmation and applies only to the main driver. To confirm whether your reservation at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas qualifies, review your confirmation or contact Hola Car Rentals support before pickup.
Drivers under 21 cannot rent a Budget vehicle in Nevada.
What is the fuel policy for a Budget rental picked up at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?
Budget rentals at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid fuel charges.
At pickup, verify the fuel gauge with the agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on the rental agreement. Take a photo of the dashboard showing the gauge and odometer before leaving the Venetian Garage.
When returning your Budget rental, the nearest fuel stations to The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas are located east on Flamingo Road or Tropicana Avenue, approximately a 10 to 15 minute drive. Refuel within about 10 miles of the return location so the tank does not drop below full before you arrive back at the garage.
- Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address
- Take a photo of the full gauge at the station in case of any dispute
- If you return the vehicle below the recorded starting level, the Budget counter may charge a fuel shortfall at their refueling rate plus an administrative service fee, both of which are typically higher than retail pump prices
The fuel deposit and the security hold are separate charges. Returning the car full eliminates any fuel-related costs.
