Will I face unexpected charges at the Hertz counter in Kansas when I book through Hola Car Rentals?
No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Hertz booking in Kansas 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 Hertz 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 Hertz counter in Kansas 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 Hertz 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 are the Hertz locations in Kansas?
Hertz operates across Kansas primarily through Hertz Local Edition (HLE) locations, which are off-airport neighborhood branches often attached to local businesses. Key Hertz locations in Kansas include:
- Dodge City Municipal Airport, 100 Airport Rd, Dodge City, KS 67801
- Garden City Airport, Garden City, KS
- Hays Regional Airport, Hays, KS
- Liberal Airport, Liberal, KS
- Wichita area: Hertz Local Edition at 6254 E 37th St N, Ste 140, Bel Aire, KS

- Emporia HLE: 2124 W Highway 50, Emporia, KS
- Leavenworth HLE: 323 Elm St, Leavenworth, KS
Note that Kansas City International Airport (MCI) is located in Kansas City, Missouri, not in Kansas. If your flight arrives at MCI, the Hertz counter there is a Missouri location. Always confirm the exact address of your Hertz Kansas pickup point on your booking confirmation before traveling.
What documents do I need to pick up a Hertz rental car in Kansas?
To collect your Hertz rental car in Kansas, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:
- A valid, unexpired driver's license in the main driver's name
- A major credit card with the driver's name printed on the physical card, used for the security deposit hold
- A passport or government-issued photo ID (recommended for visitors arriving from abroad)
- Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
- Round-trip flight or cruise tickets if you are visiting from outside the United States
If your driver's license is not in English or does not use a Latin (Roman) alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script, you must also carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your original license. The IDP is a translation only and is not valid on its own.
All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies shown on a phone are not accepted at any Hertz Kansas counter. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit hold.
Does Hertz in Kansas require an International Driving Permit?
An International Driving Permit (IDP) is not automatically required for every visitor picking up a Hertz rental in Kansas, but it is mandatory in certain situations.
You must carry an IDP alongside your original home-country license if your license uses a non-Latin alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic (Russian). In that case, Hertz Kansas counter staff will require both documents.
If your license is in English or uses Roman characters, an IDP is recommended but not strictly mandatory. However, carrying one is always a good precaution, especially at smaller Hertz Local Edition locations in Kansas where staff may be less familiar with foreign license formats.
Important: the IDP is a translation booklet only. You cannot rent a car in Kansas with an IDP alone. Your original home-country license must be presented at the same time. Obtain your IDP before leaving your home country, as it cannot be issued to non-US license holders inside the United States.
How do tolls work on the Kansas Turnpike when renting from Hertz?
The Kansas Turnpike, also known as the Ike, is the main toll road in Kansas, running from the Oklahoma border in the south to the Nebraska border in the north and passing through Wichita, Topeka, and Lawrence. If you are driving a Hertz rental car in Kansas, here is what you need to know:
- Most toll plazas accept cash, major credit cards, and the K-Tag electronic transponder
- E-ZPass is not accepted on the Kansas Turnpike
- Exit 53A in Wichita is fully cashless and requires either a K-Tag or an online payment by license plate within 10 days of travel
- Tolls are distance-based, calculated by your entry and exit points and the number of axles on the vehicle
Your Hertz rental vehicle in Kansas will typically come equipped with an electronic toll device. You can choose an unlimited toll package at the counter (generally US$11 to US$25 per day depending on the program) or pay per use, where actual toll charges plus daily administrative fees are billed to your card after the rental ends. If you drive through a cashless lane without enrolling, a mailed bill or online payment option will be triggered.
There are no congestion charges or emissions zones anywhere in Kansas.
Can I get cashback on Kansas Turnpike tolls paid during my Hertz rental?
Yes, you can get up to 5% of your total booking value back for tolls paid during your Hertz rental in Kansas, including Kansas Turnpike charges, through the Hola Car Rentals Tolls Cashback benefit included in every booking.
Here is how to claim it after your Hertz Kansas rental ends:
- Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle
- Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback, followed by your reservation number
- Attach your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation, the signed rental agreement from the Hertz counter, and a receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid
The refund equals the lesser of the total tolls you actually paid or 5% of your Hola Car Rentals booking total. For example, if your booking total was US$500, the cap is US$25. If you paid US$18 in Kansas Turnpike tolls, you receive US$18 back. If you paid US$40, you receive US$25.
Refunds are issued to the original payment method used for your reservation and typically process within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Late submissions received after 30 days are not accepted.
What is the security deposit amount for a Hertz rental in Kansas?
When you pick up your Hertz rental car in Kansas, the counter will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card as a security deposit. This hold is not a charge but it reduces your available credit until it is released after you return the vehicle.
For Hertz rentals in the United States, including Kansas locations, the typical hold is approximately US$300 to US$400 for standard vehicle classes. The exact amount can vary depending on the specific Kansas location, the vehicle class you selected, and the length of your rental.
Key requirements for the deposit at any Hertz Kansas counter:
- A physical, major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card is required
- Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted for the deposit hold
- The card must be in the main driver's name
- You should have sufficient available credit to cover both the hold and any expected charges
After you return the Hertz vehicle in Kansas, the hold is released. Your bank or card issuer controls how quickly it reappears as available credit, which can take up to 15 business days. Bringing a backup credit card is always recommended.
Is there a young driver surcharge for Hertz rentals in Kansas?
Yes, drivers aged 21 to 24 are subject to a young driver surcharge when renting from Hertz in Kansas. The standard Hertz underage fee in the United States is US$13.50 per rental day plus applicable taxes, with a maximum cap of US$189 plus taxes for the rental period.
Additional points to be aware of for younger drivers at Hertz Kansas locations:
- The minimum age to rent from Hertz in Kansas is 21
- Drivers under 25 are restricted from renting certain vehicle classes, including full-size, SUV, luxury, premium, convertible, minivan, and van categories
- Economy, compact, and intermediate sedan or SUV classes are generally available to drivers aged 21 to 24
- The surcharge is paid at the Hertz counter in Kansas and is not included in your prepaid rate
Kansas does not have a state law requiring rentals to drivers under 21, unlike New York or Michigan. The young driver surcharge disappears once the main driver turns 25. If you are unsure whether your chosen vehicle class is available for your age at a specific Kansas Hertz location, contact customer support before booking.
What happens if I miss a toll on the Kansas Turnpike in my Hertz rental car?
If you drive through a Kansas Turnpike toll without paying, the consequences depend on which lane you used and whether you enrolled in a Hertz toll program.
For cashless lanes, such as Exit 53A in Wichita, the toll is captured by a camera reading your license plate. You have two options:
- Pay online within 10 days of the toll date using the Kansas Turnpike authority's website
- Wait for a mailed bill, which typically arrives within two weeks
If you enrolled in the Hertz toll program for your Kansas rental, the toll charges plus daily administrative fees will be billed to the credit card on file for your rental, often four to eight weeks after the rental ends. This is normal and not an error.
Non-payment or driving through an electronic lane without a valid transponder can result in violation rates, which are flat fees based on the number of axles on the vehicle and are higher than standard toll rates. These charges may be passed on to you by Hertz after the rental.
If you believe a toll charge on your Hertz Kansas rental was billed in error, gather your rental agreement and any toll receipts and contact support for assistance.
What is the fuel policy for Hertz rentals in Kansas?
Hertz rentals in Kansas 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 at any Kansas Hertz location:
- At pickup, check the fuel gauge with the agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on your rental agreement
- Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and fuel gauge
- Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the return location so the gauge does not drop before you arrive
- Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address
- Show the full gauge to the agent at the Hertz Kansas counter on return
If you return the vehicle below the recorded starting level, Hertz may charge you for the fuel shortfall at their own refueling rate, which is typically higher than retail pump prices, plus a refueling service fee. For after-hours returns at Kansas Hertz locations, leave the fuel receipt in the key envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge on your phone as evidence.
Use the correct fuel type for your vehicle. Wrong-fuel incidents are not covered by the fuel policy and may generate additional charges.
Can I add an additional driver to my Hertz rental in Kansas?
Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Hertz rental in Kansas, either as part of your rate or for a fee paid at the counter.
When an additional driver is not included in your booking, Hertz charges US$13.50 per rental day plus taxes, with a maximum of US$189 plus taxes for the full rental period in Kansas.
Requirements for adding a driver at any Hertz Kansas counter:
- The additional driver must be physically present at pickup
- They must present a valid driver's license and any required IDP if their license is not in a Latin alphabet
- They must meet the minimum age requirement of 21 for Kansas Hertz locations
- Drivers aged 21 to 24 may be subject to a young driver surcharge in addition to the additional driver fee
- Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement
Only drivers listed on the Hertz rental agreement in Kansas are covered by the vehicle's protections, including CDW and liability coverage. If someone not listed on the contract drives the vehicle, coverage may be void. Check your booking confirmation to see whether an additional driver is already included in your rate before arriving at the Kansas Hertz counter.
What insurance coverage is included with a Hertz rental in Kansas?
The insurance and protection options available with your Hertz rental in Kansas depend on the rate plan you selected when booking. Here is a summary of the main coverages to understand:
- Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): reduces your financial liability for damage to the Hertz rental vehicle itself from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation states zero excess.
- Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI): covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to other people while driving the Hertz vehicle in Kansas. Some US states require a minimum liability amount; confirm whether it is included in your rate.
CDW and LDW do not cover third parties. LIS does not cover damage to the Hertz vehicle itself. These are separate protections and both are recommended for driving in Kansas.
Common exclusions at Hertz Kansas locations include tires, undercarriage, roof damage, driving under the influence, unauthorized drivers, and use outside permitted areas. Always review the rental agreement at the Hertz counter before signing.
If you have questions about what your specific Hola Car Rentals rate includes for your Kansas Hertz rental, check your booking confirmation for the coverage details listed there.
Does my Hertz Kansas rental include travel assistance if something goes wrong on the road?
Yes, most Hola Car Rentals bookings include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection, which can be valuable if you encounter an emergency while driving your Hertz rental across Kansas, including on remote stretches of the Kansas Turnpike or in smaller towns far from major cities.
The travel assistance benefit typically includes:
- Medical coverage for up to 5 passengers for accidents and non-pre-existing illnesses
- Legal assistance in the event of a road accident
- Compensation for luggage lost by the airline
- Flight cancellation insurance
To reach assistance 24 hours a day during your Hertz Kansas rental, call +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free) or contact WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call.
Important: this travel assistance benefit does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada. It also does not cover damage to the Hertz rental vehicle itself (that is handled by CDW/LDW) or liability to third parties (covered by LIS/ALI/SLI). Always check your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your Kansas rental.
Can I pick up a Hertz car in Kansas and return it in a different city?
Yes, one-way rentals are possible with Hertz in Kansas, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on your specific route and the locations involved.
Key things to know about one-way Hertz rentals in Kansas:
- A drop-off fee is route-specific and varies by the cities, vehicle class, and season
- Rentals between two different Kansas cities, such as picking up in Wichita and returning in Dodge City, will typically incur a one-way fee
- Rentals between Kansas and another US state will usually also carry a drop-off fee
- Cross-border one-way rentals, such as Kansas to Canada or Mexico, may be restricted or require special authorization from Hertz
The drop-off fee for your Hertz Kansas rental will be shown during the booking process under the section labeled as charges due at the destination. It is not included in your prepaid rate and cannot be prepaid. Review your booking confirmation carefully to confirm whether a one-way fee applies to your specific Kansas route.
If you need to change your return location after booking, contact support as soon as possible, since route changes can reprice the rental and may affect the drop-off fee amount or availability at the new Kansas or out-of-state Hertz location.
