Holger Pfarr
"By far cheaper than all rental car offers."
Sharon Radford
"Quick and easy"
Bill Harshbarger
"I really liked the reservation screen for pickup times...side by side let's you easy match pick-up drop off.
The vehicles were the best price (discounted prices for European travelers in the US at thus writing), otherwise rental car prices are rather high these days.
Insurance is about peace of mind. Hola is over the top covering many of those extras the agent wants you to buy.
And toll coverage up to 5%. Super. Without human attendants anymore, it's complicated in the Bay Area and particularly expensive in Miami (!) Auto companies see it as an opportunity to sell you lots of Toll coverage.
Finally, what I did not notice was, "not knowing what I was renting" which is often noticed just before you press 'book'. The question did not enter my mind, that's a good thing.
Their AI agent, perfectly better. Very good advice.
And I did have the need to cancel and rebook. With the app, effective and bug free. One refund was credited in a hour. Another may take a few days, but will post. Also the app will display prices in the currency you select.
Looking forward to booking with Hola again"

"This is not the first time we’ve rented cars through Hola, and each time we’re absolutely satisfied! Their service is excellent — always available, providing immediate responses, quickly solving any issues with kindness, and handling everything directly with the rental companies when needed.
Even when a refund was required, they took care of it fully without any hassle. The personal, reliable, and professional approach makes all the difference.
A fantastic experience every time, and I’ll definitely keep renting through them and highly recommend them to everyone"

"Searching for two weeks car hire in Florida. Hola were very competitive against the group I wanted to book, the website was easy to use and confirmation received immediately"
Dwight Thompson
"The experience was excellent, fast and easy with the least effort required to chose a car. From past experience the counter experience was favourable at Budget Miami Airport with no issues. This was the first time an agent at a rental desk did not try to sell me additional insurance or toll pass.
My only concerns for this booking was the price gap was too high for standard cars compared to the basic cars."
Steve Hornby
"Very easy to book
Very easy to pay
And the best deal I could find by quite a long way
Added price of mind was the 4.8 stars on trust pilot with 3000+ ratings"
mandy hughes
"Unfortunately I had to cancel my booking with Hola Car Rentals for personal reasons. I was assisted by the Sales Manager Karen to do this. After completing the cancellation efficiently and promptly she went above and beyond to help me with several additional questions I had. Based on my experience I would highly recommend Hola Car Rentals Customer service and would definitely use them again. Their rental prices were very competitive too."
Natalia Vazquez Sotelo
"I highly recommend Hola Car for their excellent service and great price. We arrived many hours late and were worried, but they answered all my questions immediately, even though it was a Sunday. Thank you so much for your help!"
Chris Burnham
"great prices easy to book definitely use again"
constanza cecchi
"The app is great and reliable. Although they try to add extra insurance when you arrive to pick up the car, you just have to insist and say no. Otherwise, everything is fine."

Thanks"

"Good car and price"
Wheeling and dealing Uk
"Cheap and easy to use covers all insurances etc seems to have been made easy"
차Mihye
"As a Korean, I used the app to rent a car in California. The Dollar Rent-a-Car employee at the San Francisco branch was rude and insisted I purchase additional insurance ($25 per day) because the insurance I purchased through the Hola app was inadequate. However, Hola insisted that the full coverage policy applied and helped me cancel the additional insurance I had purchased at the Dollar Rent-a-Car location. I'm satisfied with Hola's customer service, but I think the Dollar Rent-a-Car employee's practice of selling additional insurance needs to be addressed."

Renting a car through them is a guarantee."

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the simplest way to pick up a rental car at St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL) if I’m landing late at night?
Most rental car companies at St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL) have counters located within the terminals, making the process straightforward even for late arrivals. After collecting your luggage, follow the signs for Rental Cars to find the service desks. It's always a good practice to confirm your specific rental provider's hours of operation ahead of time, especially if your flight is significantly delayed. Once you complete the paperwork, a consolidated shuttle service typically transports you to the nearby garage where your vehicle will be waiting.
If I’m staying downtown near the Gateway Arch, where is the easiest place to park a rental car overnight without circling for spots?
When staying downtown, the most convenient and secure option for overnight parking is typically your hotel's dedicated parking garage or lot. While this often comes with a daily fee, it eliminates the stress of searching for a spot. Alternatively, numerous public parking garages are scattered throughout the downtown area and offer reliable overnight rates. Relying on street parking can be challenging due to time restrictions and availability, so using a designated garage is highly recommended for peace of mind during your visit.
How long should I budget to drive from STL airport to downtown St. Louis during weekday rush hour?
The drive from St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL) to downtown typically takes about 25-30 minutes in light traffic. However, during weekday rush hour, which generally runs from 7:00 to 9:00 AM and 4:00 to 6:00 PM, you should budget for a longer travel time. It's wise to allow at least 45 to 60 minutes for the journey to account for potential congestion, especially on I-70. Planning for this extra time ensures you won't be late for any check-ins or appointments.
Which route is usually less stressful for first-time visitors: taking I-70 into the city or using I-64/US-40?
For first-time visitors driving into St. Louis, I-64 (also known as US-40) is often considered the more scenic and slightly less stressful route compared to I-70. I-64 takes you directly through the beautiful Forest Park area and offers a more gradual introduction to the city's layout. While I-70 is a more direct path from the airport to downtown, it can feel more industrial and often has heavier commercial truck traffic. Using a GPS and choosing the I-64 route can provide a more pleasant initial driving experience.
What should I know about driving across the Mississippi River from St. Louis into Illinois for day trips?
Driving across the Mississippi River into Illinois is a common and straightforward activity for visitors. The most frequently used bridges are the Poplar Street Bridge (I-64/I-55), the Martin Luther King Bridge, and the Stan Musial Veterans Memorial Bridge (I-70). Be aware that these bridges can experience significant traffic during rush hour, so it's best to plan your crossing during off-peak times if possible. Using your navigation app is helpful, as the interchanges on both sides of the river can be complex for unfamiliar drivers.
If I’m visiting the St. Louis Zoo and Forest Park, where do people typically park when traveling with kids and a stroller?
Forest Park offers extensive free parking, which is a major convenience for families. When visiting the St. Louis Zoo, the most convenient options are the dedicated North and South lots, which provide easy access to the entrances. For other attractions within the park, like the Saint Louis Art Museum or the Missouri History Museum, you'll find ample free street parking along the roads and in designated lots nearby. Arriving earlier in the day, especially on weekends, will give you the best selection of spots close to your destination.
How early should I leave downtown St. Louis to return a rental at STL for a morning flight?
To ensure a stress-free departure for a morning flight, it's best to leave downtown St. Louis approximately two and a half to three hours before your flight's scheduled departure time. This allows for a 30-45 minute drive to the airport, accounting for potential morning traffic. You'll also need time to refuel the vehicle if required, complete the rental return process, and take the shuttle back to your terminal. This buffer provides a comfortable margin for navigating airport security and getting to your gate on time.
Are there parts of St. Louis where visitors prefer not to park on the street with a rental car?
Like in any major city, it's wise to be mindful of your surroundings when parking. While most tourist areas are generally fine, visitors often prefer using secured parking garages over street parking in the downtown core, especially overnight. When parking on the street in any neighborhood, always choose well-lit areas and avoid leaving any valuables visible inside your rental car. Using common sense and situational awareness is the best approach to ensure your vehicle remains secure throughout your trip.
What’s it like driving to The Hill for Italian restaurants—are there parking crunch times I should plan around?
Driving to The Hill neighborhood is quite easy, as it's conveniently located near major highways. However, parking can become competitive, particularly during peak dinner hours on Friday and Saturday evenings. Most restaurants rely on street parking, so you may need to circle a block or two to find a spot. To avoid the crunch, consider making an earlier dinner reservation or visiting on a weeknight when the demand for parking is lower, allowing for a more relaxed arrival.
If I’m catching a Cardinals game at Busch Stadium, what’s the best driving approach to avoid getting stuck in post-game traffic?
To minimize post-game traffic headaches, plan your exit strategy before you even park. Consider parking in a garage that is a few blocks away from the stadium, which allows you to walk a bit but avoid the immediate gridlock right after the game. Another popular strategy is to linger downtown for a while after the game ends; many fans head to nearby restaurants or bars in Ballpark Village. This allows the worst of the traffic to dissipate before you get back in your rental car.
How challenging is it to drive and park near St. Louis Union Station and the aquarium on weekends?
Driving to St. Louis Union Station is generally straightforward, as it's located just west of the main downtown area with good highway access. On weekends, the area becomes a popular destination, increasing traffic and parking demand for attractions like the St. Louis Aquarium. Union Station has its own large parking lot, which is the most convenient option. Arriving earlier in the day is the best strategy to secure a spot easily and avoid the peak crowds that gather around midday.
What’s the easiest way to handle a rental car if my hotel is in Clayton near Washington University?
Clayton is a very car-friendly area with a more suburban feel than downtown St. Louis. If your hotel is in Clayton, you'll find that most establishments offer ample on-site parking, often complimentary. The street grid is logical and easier to navigate for visitors. Having a rental car here is ideal, as it provides easy access to Washington University, Forest Park, and the Delmar Loop, as well as convenient connections to the highways for exploring the wider region.
If I’m attending an event at The Dome at America’s Center, where do out-of-towners usually park a rental car?
For events at The Dome at America's Center, visitors have several reliable parking options. There are numerous parking garages and surface lots located within a few blocks of the venue, and their pricing often varies based on proximity. Many out-of-towners find it convenient to pre-book a parking spot online through a third-party app to guarantee a space and avoid driving around searching before an event. Arriving at least an hour early is recommended to navigate the downtown streets and walk to the entrance without rushing.
How do local drivers in St. Louis treat left turns and lane changes on big roads like Kingshighway or Lindell?
Driving on major arterial roads like Kingshighway Boulevard or Lindell Boulevard requires attentive and confident driving. Local drivers are accustomed to the flow and expect others to be decisive with lane changes and turns. Use your turn signal well in advance to indicate your intentions. During busy periods, finding a gap to make a left turn across traffic can be challenging, so patience is key. It's always best to stay in the correct lane and anticipate your turns ahead of time.
What’s the most straightforward route for driving from St. Louis to the Cahokia Mounds site in Illinois?
The drive to the Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site is quite simple and takes about 15-20 minutes from downtown St. Louis. The most direct route is to take I-55/I-64 east across the Poplar Street Bridge into Illinois. From there, you'll take exit 6 for IL-111 and follow the clear signage for the mounds. It's a very easy day trip, and since it's a short drive, you don't need to worry about complex navigation or heavy traffic outside of normal rush hours.
