No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Dollar booking in Ohio 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 Dollar 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 Dollar counter in Ohio 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 Dollar 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)

To pick up a Dollar rental car in Ohio, you must bring the following physical documents to 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 (debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit)
• A valid passport or 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 other non-English licenses, an IDP is strongly recommended. The IDP is a translation only and must be carried alongside your original license. All documents must be physical; digital copies are not accepted at the Dollar counter in Ohio.

Yes, Dollar in Ohio requires a physical major credit card in the main driver's name with the driver's name printed on the card to place a security hold at pickup.

The hold is a temporary authorization, not a charge, and reduces your available credit until it is released after you return the vehicle. Typical holds for standard vehicles in the United States range from US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount depends on the Dollar location, vehicle class, and rental duration.

• Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted for the deposit
• Virtual or single-use card numbers are not accepted
• The card must belong to the main driver, not a third party

Even if you prepaid your Ohio Dollar booking online, you must still present a physical credit card at the counter. Bring a backup credit card in case your primary card is declined, and notify your bank of your travel plans to avoid fraud blocks on in-person authorizations.

Dollar operates at several airports and cities across Ohio. The main airport locations include:

• John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) in Columbus, with shuttle service to the counter
• Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, located at 19601 Maplewood Avenue
• Dayton International Airport
• Akron-Canton Regional Airport

Beyond airports, Dollar has off-airport locations in Ohio cities including Columbus (2455 Billingsley Rd, Columbus Northwest), Akron, Warren (4400 Youngstown Warren Rd), Vandalia, and Westlake. The Westlake location operates Monday through Friday from 8 am to 5 pm and is closed on weekends, so confirm hours for your specific Dollar Ohio location before arrival.

At airport locations, follow the car rental signs in the terminal and look for the Dollar brand logo at the rental counter or shuttle stop. If you are unsure which counter serves your Dollar booking, check your reservation confirmation for the exact pickup address and instructions.

Ohio's main toll road is the Ohio Turnpike, a 241-mile east-west route (I-76, I-80, I-90) running from the Indiana border to the Pennsylvania border and passing near Toledo, Cleveland, and Akron. If you drive a Dollar rental car in Ohio on the Turnpike, you will encounter tolls.

The Ohio Turnpike accepts both E-ZPass electronic transponders and cash or credit card payments at plazas. Typical 2026 rates for a passenger vehicle crossing the full route are approximately US$19 with E-ZPass or US$27.75 with cash or credit card.

Dollar rental vehicles in Ohio come equipped with an electronic toll device. At the counter you can choose between:

• An unlimited toll package at a fixed daily rate (typically US$11 to US$25 per day depending on location)
• A pay-per-use option where actual toll charges plus administrative processing fees are billed to your card after the rental

If you do not enroll in any toll program and drive through a cashless toll, Dollar will charge the toll amount plus administrative fees to your card after the rental ends. Toll charges can appear on your statement days or even weeks after you return the vehicle. Ohio has no congestion charges or city-center driving fees beyond the Turnpike tolls.

Yes, all bookings made through Hola Car Rentals, including Dollar rentals in Ohio, include Tolls Cashback of up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your rental.

If you drive the Ohio Turnpike or any other toll road in Ohio with your Dollar rental, you can submit a claim after returning the vehicle. The refund covers the lesser of the actual tolls paid or 5% of your Hola Car Rentals booking total. For example, if your booking total is US$500, the maximum cashback is US$25.

To claim your Ohio toll cashback:

• Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the Dollar vehicle
• Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback - Reservation {Your Confirmation Number}
• Attach your Hola Car Rentals confirmation, the Dollar rental agreement, and a toll receipt or statement showing 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. This benefit does not mean tolls are free; you still pay them normally and claim reimbursement afterward.

The minimum age to rent a Dollar car in Ohio without a young-renter surcharge is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent from Dollar in Ohio but will be charged a daily underage fee of US$13.50 plus taxes, with a maximum cap of US$189 plus taxes for the rental period.

Drivers under 21 are generally not permitted to rent from Dollar in Ohio. Additionally, renters under 25 face vehicle class restrictions and are typically limited to economy, compact, and intermediate categories. Classes such as full-size sedans, SUVs, minivans, convertibles, luxury, and premium vehicles are generally restricted to drivers aged 25 and older.

• Ages 21 to 24: eligible with a daily young-renter surcharge of US$13.50 plus taxes
• Ages 25 and older: no underage fee applies
• Vehicle class restrictions apply to drivers under 25

A valid driver's license and a major credit card in the main driver's name are required regardless of age. If you are unsure whether your preferred vehicle class is available for your age at your Ohio Dollar location, contact customer service before booking.

Dollar's Ohio fleet focuses primarily on economy, compact, intermediate, and SUV categories, which are well suited for leisure travelers visiting the state. At locations such as John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) and Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, popular options include compact sedans, standard sedans, and mid-size SUVs such as the Toyota RAV4 class.

When you book a Dollar rental in Ohio, you select a vehicle class online, but the specific model is assigned at the counter based on availability. Dollar's Ohio inventory is more limited in premium and luxury segments compared to larger competitors, so if you need a specific vehicle type, book early, especially during peak travel periods.

• Economy and compact cars: widely available at Ohio Dollar locations
• Intermediate and standard sedans: available at major Ohio airports
• Compact and mid-size SUVs: popular and generally available
• Premium, luxury, and large SUVs: limited availability at Ohio Dollar locations

Drivers under 25 renting from Dollar in Ohio are restricted from premium, luxury, full-size SUV, minivan, and convertible classes regardless of location.

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

At pickup, verify the fuel level with the Dollar agent and confirm it is recorded on the rental agreement. Take a photo of the dashboard showing the gauge and odometer. If the tank is not full at pickup, the starting level must be noted on the agreement and you only need to return it at that same level.

When returning your Dollar rental in Ohio, refuel within approximately 10 miles or 15 km of the return location so the gauge does not drop below full before you arrive. Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address.

• Return the car full to avoid a fuel shortfall charge at Dollar's refueling rate, which is typically higher than retail pump prices
• A refueling service fee may also apply on top of the fuel cost if Dollar refuels the vehicle for you
• For after-hours returns at Ohio Dollar locations, leave the receipt in the key envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge

Using the wrong fuel type (gasoline versus diesel) is not covered by the fuel policy and may generate additional charges.

If you return your Dollar rental car in Ohio later than the agreed drop-off time, a grace period of approximately 30 minutes typically applies, though this is not guaranteed at every location. Returns beyond the grace period may result in charges for additional hours or an extra rental day, plus a potential late fee.

To avoid late return charges at your Ohio Dollar location:

• Plan your return with enough time to refuel and reach the counter before your scheduled drop-off time
• If you know you will be late, contact Dollar directly or request an extension through your booking to avoid being charged at a higher walk-in rate
• Factor in travel time from your last stop in Ohio, especially if returning to a busy airport such as John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) or Cleveland Hopkins

If you need more time with your Dollar rental in Ohio, it is better to extend the reservation in advance rather than returning late, as extension rates are typically more favorable than post-rental late charges. Keep your rental agreement handy, as it contains the Dollar contact number for your Ohio location.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Dollar rental in Ohio, either as an included benefit depending on your rate or by paying a fee at the counter.

For Dollar rentals in Ohio, the additional driver fee is US$13.50 per rental day plus taxes, with a maximum cap of US$189 plus taxes for the rental period. Check your booking confirmation to see if an additional driver is already included in your rate before arriving at the Ohio Dollar counter.

Requirements for adding an additional driver in Ohio:

• The additional driver must be present at the Dollar counter at pickup
• They must present a valid driver's license and any required ID
• If their license is not in English and uses a non-Latin alphabet, an International Driving Permit is required
• They must meet the minimum age requirements; drivers under 25 may face a young-renter surcharge or be restricted from certain vehicle classes
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement

Only drivers listed on the Dollar rental agreement in Ohio are covered by the vehicle's protections. Anyone who drives without being named on the contract may void coverage and result in additional charges.

Yes, Dollar rentals in Ohio are subject to local taxes and airport-related fees that are added on top of the base rental rate. These charges vary depending on whether you pick up at an airport location or an off-airport city location.

Common fees you may encounter at Ohio Dollar airport locations such as John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) or Cleveland Hopkins include:

• Airport concession recovery fees (ACRF), charged by the airport to the rental company and passed to the renter
• Customer facility charges (CFC) for use of the rental car center or shuttle infrastructure
• Ohio state rental taxes, which are typically around 10% but vary by county and city
• Vehicle license recovery fees

Off-airport Dollar locations in Ohio, such as those in Warren or Westlake, may avoid some airport-specific concession fees, which can represent a meaningful saving on longer rentals. However, you should factor in transportation costs to and from the airport when comparing options.

Your booking confirmation will show which taxes and fees are included in your prepaid rate and which are due at the Dollar counter in Ohio. If a fee appears at the counter that was not disclosed in your confirmation, the No Extra Charges© guarantee may apply.

Yes, one-way rentals from Ohio Dollar locations to another state are generally permitted, but a drop-off fee will apply and must be confirmed at the time of booking.

When you search for a Dollar rental in Ohio with a different return location, the booking system will display any applicable one-way or drop-off fee under the "To pay at destination" section before you complete your reservation. This fee is set by Dollar based on the specific route, distance, vehicle class, and season.

• Ohio to a neighboring state such as Indiana, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, or Michigan: a drop-off fee typically applies and varies by route
• Long-distance one-ways across multiple states: fees are usually higher and availability may be limited
• Cross-border rentals into Canada from Ohio: may be restricted or require prior authorization from Dollar; confirm before booking

The drop-off fee cannot be prepaid and is not covered by No Extra Charges© unless it was not disclosed during booking. If you change your return location after booking your Ohio Dollar rental, the fee may be recalculated and availability is not guaranteed. Always review your confirmation to verify the drop-off fee shown matches what you agreed to during checkout.

Yes, most bookings made through Hola Car Rentals, including Dollar rentals in Ohio, include travel assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection at no extra cost. This benefit is designed for situations such as a medical emergency on the Ohio Turnpike, an accident on a rural Ohio highway, or a flight cancellation affecting your rental period.

Important: this travel assistance benefit does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada. It is intended for international visitors renting a Dollar car in Ohio who are traveling from outside North America. This coverage is separate from the vehicle's collision damage waiver (CDW/LDW) and does not replace it. Always report any incident to Dollar immediately using the contact number on your rental agreement.
