No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Budget booking in Utah 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 Utah 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 at Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) in Utah is accessed via an enclosed overpass from the terminal. Standard rental cars are parked across the street from the car rental facility.

If you are enrolled in the Budget Fastbreak program, the Fastbreak counter is located in the baggage claim area, where a manager or key person will have your contract ready and personally escort you to your vehicle.

The Salt Lake City Airport Budget location operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you can pick up your Utah rental at any time regardless of your flight arrival.

Budget offers after-hours return options at several Utah locations, and the process differs by site.

• Salt Lake City International Airport: Record your mileage and fuel level on the rental agreement and drop it in the Budget Fastbreak return box. A closed rental agreement will be mailed to you within 48 hours. You do not need to return to the counter.
• Salt Lake City Downtown: A key drop box is available for after-hours returns. However, you remain responsible for the vehicle and all charges, including any damages or theft, until the contract is closed on the following business day.
• Provo Municipal Airport: After-hours returns are also available, though you should confirm specific key drop details directly with the Budget location when you pick up.

For any Utah Budget return, take photos of the vehicle condition and record the fuel gauge level before dropping the keys, so you have documentation if any post-rental charges arise.

Yes, there are toll roads in Utah that can affect your Budget rental. The main toll system is the I-15 Express Lanes, a cashless managed lane network spanning approximately 62 miles from Spanish Fork (near US 6) to Layton Parkway, passing through the Salt Lake City area.

• Tolls are collected electronically via transponders such as Express Pass, which is compatible with E-ZPass. Regular lanes on I-15 remain free.
• Solo driver tolls range from a minimum of US$0.25 to a maximum of US$1.00 per segment, billed after your trip.
• Carpools with two or more occupants can receive a 100% exemption if the Express Pass transponder is switched to HOV mode.

Budget offers an e-Toll program for Utah rentals. The unlimited option costs between US$10.99 and US$25.99 per day, capped weekly at US$54.95 to US$129.95. A pay-per-use option is also available. If you drive the I-15 Express Lanes without enrolling in any toll program, Budget will bill the tolls plus administrative fees to your card on file, sometimes four to six weeks after your rental ends.

Utah has no congestion charges or emissions zones, so the I-15 Express Lanes are the only toll consideration for most Budget renters in the state.

Yes, all Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Budget rentals in Utah, include Tolls Cashback, which lets you recover up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your rental.

This is especially useful in Utah, where the I-15 Express Lanes between Spanish Fork and Layton charge cashless tolls that are billed to your card by Budget after the rental ends. You can submit those charges for reimbursement.

To claim your Tolls Cashback:

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

The refund is issued to the same payment method used for your booking and typically processes within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Claims submitted after 30 days are not accepted, so act promptly once you return your Budget vehicle in Utah.

To pick up a Budget rental car in Utah, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:

• A valid, unexpired driver's license with photo ID in the main driver's name. Utah law requires Budget to inspect and verify the license.
• A major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card, in the main driver's name, for the security deposit hold. Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted.
• A passport or valid government photo ID (required for international visitors).
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher.
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets (required for visitors from outside the United States).

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 alongside your original license. For licenses in English or using a Roman alphabet, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required for most Utah Budget locations.

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

Yes, Budget in Utah charges a young driver surcharge for renters aged 21 to 24. The fee is US$27.00 per day and is applied at the counter in addition to your prepaid rate.

Drivers in this age group must also meet the following requirements at any Utah Budget location:

• Present a valid credit card (not a bank-issued check card or debit card) in their own name.
• Present a valid driver's license in their own name.
• Select from the vehicle classes available to under-25 renters, which include Economy, Compact, Intermediate, Standard, Full-Size, Hybrid Cars, Compact, Intermediate and Standard SUVs, Recreational SUVs, Minivans, Midsize and Full-Size Pickups, Medium Cargo Vans, and Moving Trucks.

Renters under 21 are not eligible to rent from Budget in Utah. If you are from Latin America or the Caribbean and aged 21 to 24, certain Hola Car Rentals rates fulfilled by Budget may waive this surcharge. Check your booking confirmation to see if the underage fee waiver is explicitly shown before arriving at the Utah counter.

When you pick up a Budget rental car in Utah, the counter will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card as a security deposit. For standard vehicles in the United States, this hold is typically around US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount can vary by vehicle class, location, and season.

Important things to know about the deposit for your Utah Budget rental:

• The hold is not a charge. It temporarily reduces your available credit and is released after you return the vehicle.
• Your bank controls how quickly the hold disappears after release. It can take up to 15 business days to reflect on your statement.
• You must present a physical major credit card with your name printed on it. Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted.
• Premium or specialty vehicle classes may carry a higher hold amount.

Even if you prepaid your Budget booking online, you are still required to present a credit card at the Utah counter for the deposit hold. Bring a backup credit card in case your primary card is declined.

Third-party liability coverage is not automatically included in every Budget rental in Utah, and the level of protection depends on your specific rate and what you add at the counter.

In the United States, some states require rental companies to include state-minimum third-party liability, but not all states do. Where no minimum is required, your own personal auto insurance policy, if it extends to rental vehicles, would respond instead.

For your Utah Budget rental, it is strongly recommended to add Liability Insurance Supplementary (LIS), also called ALI or SLI, which can provide coverage up to US$300,000 for bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others. This is separate from Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW), which only covers damage to the Budget rental vehicle itself.

• CDW or LDW: covers damage to your Budget rental car, subject to any deductible.
• LIS or SLI: covers injury or property damage you cause to third parties.
• Neither covers your personal injuries (that requires PAI) or your belongings (that requires PEC).

Review your booking confirmation to confirm which coverages are included in your Utah Budget rate before arriving at the counter.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Budget rental in Utah, but fees and conditions apply.

When the additional driver fee is not included in your rate, Budget in Utah charges US$13.00 per rental day plus taxes, with a maximum cap of US$65.00 plus taxes for the rental period.

Requirements for adding an additional driver to a Utah Budget rental:

• The additional driver must be present at the counter at pickup with a valid driver's license.
• For Budget in Utah, additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old.
• If the additional driver's license is not in English or uses a non-Latin alphabet, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is also required.
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement.

Only drivers listed on the rental agreement are covered by protections such as CDW or LDW. If someone drives the Utah Budget vehicle who is not named on the contract, coverage may be void. Check your booking confirmation to see if an additional driver is already included in your rate before paying at the counter.

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

To avoid extra fees on your Utah Budget rental:

• At pickup, check the fuel gauge with the agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on the rental agreement. Take a photo of the dashboard.
• During your rental, use the correct fuel type. Wrong-fuel incidents are not covered by the fuel policy and may generate additional charges.
• Before returning, refuel within approximately 10 miles or 15 kilometers 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 Budget vehicle in Utah 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. For after-hours returns at locations like Salt Lake City Airport, leave the fuel receipt in the return envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge as documentation.

Budget operates 12 locations across Utah, giving you flexibility depending on where your trip begins or ends.

Major Budget locations in Utah include:

• Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC), open 24 hours, 7 days a week.
• Salt Lake City Downtown at 235 W 500 S, open Monday to Friday 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Saturday 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and Sunday 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
• Provo Municipal Airport (PVU) at 1331 S Sky Way, with varying hours by day of the week.
• Cedar City Regional Airport.
• Ogden-Hinckley Airport.
• Saint George Municipal Airport and a Saint George Downtown location at 58 N 700 E, open Monday to Friday 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM and Saturday 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
• American Fork and Alpine Valley Center.

If you are picking up at a downtown Utah Budget location rather than an airport, note that hours are more limited and after-hours returns require using the key drop box. You remain responsible for the vehicle until the contract is closed the following business day, so plan your return timing accordingly.

Yes, most Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Budget rentals in Utah, include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection at no extra cost. However, this benefit does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada.

For eligible travelers, the coverage includes:

• Travel insurance with medical coverage for up to 5 passengers.
• Legal assistance in case of an accident, which can be valuable if you are involved in an incident on Utah highways such as I-15 or in more remote areas near National parks.
• Compensation for luggage lost by the airline.
• Flight cancellation insurance.

If you need assistance during your Utah Budget rental, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day, 7 days a week:

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

When you call, have your full name and your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready. This travel assistance does not cover damage to the Budget rental vehicle itself. For that, you need CDW or LDW coverage listed on your rental agreement.

Yes, one-way rentals are possible with Budget in Utah, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on your specific route.

The drop-off fee is route-specific and varies based on the cities involved, the distance, the vehicle class, and the season. For example, returning a Budget rental from Salt Lake City to Saint George, or from Utah to another state, will typically trigger a one-way fee.

• Same-city airport to downtown routes often carry no drop-off fee.
• Routes between different Utah cities or from Utah to another state usually include a drop-off fee.
• Cross-border or long-distance routes may carry higher fees or may not be permitted for certain vehicle classes.

When booking your Utah Budget rental, the drop-off fee will be shown on the rate details page under the section labeled as charges due at destination. Review this before confirming your reservation. If the fee does not appear during booking, no one-way charge should apply to your route.

If you need to change your drop-off location after booking, contact support promptly, as changes may reprice the rental and recalculate any applicable fee.
