"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"

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Wow! My first booking with Hola didn’t just meet expectations — they absolutely exceeded them in every possible way. So much so, that I made another rental booking immediately. I’m not usually someone who takes the time to write reviews, but this experience was so exceptional that I felt compelled to share it. At first, I thought I had secured a great price — but when I carefully reviewed the list of inclusions, I was genuinely blown away. In fact, it almost seemed too good to be true. I found myself double- and triple-checking my bookings, convinced there must have been some sort of system error. But no — everything was exactly as promised, and more - with NO extra cost. What truly stood out was the reaction from others. When I shared the pricing and inclusions with the Avis desk at the airport, hotel staff, as well as family and friends, they were equally astonished. Several even asked for your details on the spot — which says everything about the incredible value and service you provide. One thing worthy of note. Avis offered upgrades which I refused on the grounds that it might change the underlying agreement and result in added costs - be careful of adding extras at the point of collection. Regardless, the vehicles reserved were excellent. You have now become my absolute first choice — my go-to destination for rentals without hesitation. Experiences like this are rare, and you’ve set a new benchmark for excellence. Please keep up the outstanding work — you’ve gained a loyal customer for life."

If booking through Hola, ensure you take the confirmation paperwork with you to provide to the rental car company. Avis’ system didn’t register the additional driver but the confirmation email was used and they added the extra driver saving hundreds. Toll refunds are swift and instructions can be given using the WhatsApp AI chat bot. Collection location was Avis LAX Will be using Hola again"

About renting a car with Hertz in Newfoundland and Labrador

Hertz operates at the three main airports serving Newfoundland and Labrador, with counter locations inside the terminals at St. John's International Airport (YYT) and Gander International Airport (YQX), while Deer Lake Regional Airport (YDF) requires a short shuttle ride to reach the rental office. St. John's typically sees the deepest vehicle inventory; demand peaks in summer when road-trip traffic is heaviest, so booking several weeks ahead is advisable for July and August travel. Unlike most of mainland Canada, Newfoundland and Labrador has no toll roads, which removes the transponder decision entirely from your planning. Fuel logistics matter more here: service stations thin out considerably outside St. John's and Gander, so fill the tank before heading into rural areas rather than counting on finding a pump along the way. Budget for a deposit hold of around CAD 200 placed on a credit card in the primary driver's name at pickup — a credit card is required, and debit cards are not accepted. The minimum rental age with Hertz in the province is 20, and drivers between 20 and 24 are subject to a daily young-driver surcharge. International visitors whose license uses a non-Latin script — Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Cyrillic, or similar — should carry an International Driving Permit alongside their original license.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does my Hola Car Rentals booking with Hertz in Newfoundland and Labrador include that other companies don't offer?

Hola Car Rentals is a premium partner of the leading car rental companies in Newfoundland and Labrador, including Hertz, giving you exclusive access to our All Inclusive+ rate. This rate includes extra benefits that no other company can match:

  • Full vehicle coverage with no deductible (applies only for certain rates and itineraries)
  • Toll cashback: get back up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls charged during your rental
  • Premium travel medical assistance for up to 5 passengers in case of emergency, covering up to CAD 200,000 (pre-existing conditions excluded)
  • No Extra Charges© guarantee: if the counter charges you for something not listed on your confirmation and not an optional add-on you accepted, Hola Car Rentals will work to remove or reimburse the charge after verification

All at no additional cost, ensuring a unique Hertz rental experience with complete protection and peace of mind during your trip in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Will I face unexpected charges at the Hertz counter in Newfoundland and Labrador when I book through Hola Car Rentals?

No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Hertz booking in Newfoundland and Labrador 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 Newfoundland and Labrador 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)
Are there toll roads on Hertz rentals in Newfoundland and Labrador?

No, there are no toll roads anywhere in Newfoundland and Labrador, so Hertz renters will not encounter any toll booths, electronic toll systems, or toll charges during their trip.

Major routes including the Trans-Canada Highway and the Outer Ring Road in St. John's are completely free to drive. You will not need a transponder, a toll pass, or any toll program offered by Hertz or any other provider. There are also no congestion charges or emissions zone fees in the province.

Because no tolls apply within Newfoundland and Labrador, the Hola Car Rentals Tolls Cashback benefit is most relevant if your itinerary takes you to other Canadian provinces or regions where tolls do exist. If you pay tolls elsewhere during your rental period, you can claim up to 5% of your total booking value back by emailing [email protected] within 30 days of returning your Hertz vehicle, with your rental agreement and toll receipts attached.

Where is the Hertz counter at St. John's Airport in Newfoundland and Labrador?

The Hertz counter at St. John's International Airport (YYT) in Newfoundland and Labrador is located inside the terminal building, giving arriving passengers convenient on-foot access without needing a shuttle.

The St. John's Airport Hertz location operates on split hours: 00:00 to 02:00 and 08:30 to 23:59 daily. This schedule is designed to cover early morning and late evening flights, but there is a gap between approximately 02:00 and 08:30 when the counter is closed. If your flight arrives during that window, plan accordingly and confirm after-hours key drop procedures directly with Hertz before your trip.

Hertz also operates a location at Deer Lake Regional Airport (1 Airport Road, Deer Lake) in Newfoundland and Labrador, serving the western part of the province. A downtown St. John's location is available at 220 Kenmount Road for those who prefer an off-airport pickup, which can sometimes offer lower daily rates than the airport counter.

What documents do I need to pick up a Hertz rental car in Newfoundland and Labrador?

To collect your Hertz rental in Newfoundland and Labrador, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:

  • A valid, unexpired driver's license in the main driver's name. Digital or mobile licenses are not accepted; you must bring the physical card.
  • A major credit card with the driver's name printed on it, in the main driver's name, for the security deposit hold. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the 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.

If your driver's license is not in English and does not use a Latin (Roman) alphabet, for example if it is in Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script, Hertz will require an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your original license. The IDP is a translation only and cannot be used without the original license. Obtain your IDP in your home country before traveling, as it cannot be issued abroad.

Hertz locations in Newfoundland and Labrador follow standard Canadian rental requirements, so no additional province-specific documents beyond those listed above are expected.

Does Hertz charge a young driver fee in Newfoundland and Labrador?

Yes, Hertz charges a young driver surcharge in Newfoundland and Labrador for renters under 25 years of age.

The fee is CAD 25 per rental day and is paid at the counter when you pick up the vehicle. This surcharge applies in addition to the base rental rate shown in your booking confirmation.

There are also vehicle restrictions for young drivers at Hertz locations in Newfoundland and Labrador. Renters under 25 are not permitted to rent specialty vehicles, vehicles from the Dream Car collection, the Prestige collection, or the Adrenaline collection. Standard economy, compact, and mid-size vehicles remain available.

The minimum rental age at most Hertz locations in Canada, including those in Newfoundland and Labrador, is 20 years old. Renters between 20 and 24 should Budget for the daily surcharge when comparing total rental costs across providers.

How does the Hertz security deposit work in Newfoundland and Labrador?

When you pick up your Hertz rental in Newfoundland and Labrador, the counter agent will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card. This is not a charge; it is a hold that reduces your available credit until it is released after you return the vehicle.

For Hertz locations in Canada, including Newfoundland and Labrador, the typical hold is approximately CAD 300 to CAD 750, depending on the vehicle class, location, and season. Premium or larger vehicles may carry a higher hold amount.

  • You must present a physical major credit card with the driver's name printed on it. Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted for the deposit.
  • Ensure your card has sufficient available credit to cover the hold plus any expected charges.
  • Notify your bank of your travel plans to prevent the authorization from being flagged as suspicious.
  • Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined.

After you return the Hertz vehicle in Newfoundland and Labrador, the hold is released. Your bank controls how quickly the credit reappears on your statement, which can take up to 15 business days.

Is an International Driving Permit required for Hertz rentals in Newfoundland and Labrador?

No, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is not automatically required to rent from Hertz in Newfoundland and Labrador, but whether you need one depends on your license.

You do not need an IDP if your driver's license is written in English and uses a Latin (Roman) alphabet. Hertz in Newfoundland and Labrador will accept a valid foreign license under those conditions.

You do need an IDP if your license uses a non-Latin script, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic. In that case, Hertz requires both your original home-country license and the IDP together. The IDP is a translation document only and is not valid on its own.

Obtain your IDP in your home country before traveling to Newfoundland and Labrador, as it cannot be issued once you have left. Organizations such as your National automobile association typically issue IDPs. Always carry both your original license and the IDP at the counter and throughout the rental period.

What is the fuel policy for Hertz rentals in Newfoundland and Labrador?

Hertz rentals in Newfoundland and Labrador 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.

  • At pickup, check the fuel gauge with the Hertz agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on the rental agreement.
  • Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and fuel gauge before leaving the lot.
  • Refuel within approximately 15 km 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.

If you return the Hertz vehicle in Newfoundland and Labrador 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 the pump price, plus a refueling service fee.

For after-hours returns at Hertz locations in Newfoundland and Labrador, leave the fuel receipt in the key drop envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge on your phone as evidence.

Does Hertz include third-party liability insurance in Newfoundland and Labrador?

Yes, third-party liability coverage is included by law with every Hertz rental in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Canadian provincial law requires all rental vehicles to carry statutory third-party liability insurance, so this coverage follows the Hertz vehicle automatically when you rent in Newfoundland and Labrador through Hola Car Rentals. You do not need to purchase it separately to meet the legal minimum.

However, the statutory minimum may not be sufficient for all situations. You can purchase supplemental liability insurance (LIS/ALI/SLI) to increase your coverage limits up to CAD 300,000 or more. This additional protection covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to other people while driving the Hertz vehicle in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Third-party liability does not cover damage to the Hertz rental vehicle itself. For that, you would need Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) coverage. Review your booking confirmation to confirm which protections are included in your selected rate before picking up your vehicle.

Does CDW cover wildlife collisions in a Hertz rental in Newfoundland and Labrador?

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) on your Hertz rental in Newfoundland and Labrador generally cover damage to the rental vehicle caused by a collision, which can include wildlife strikes such as moose collisions, subject to the terms and any deductible stated in your rental agreement.

Moose are a well-known hazard on roads throughout Newfoundland and Labrador, particularly on the Trans-Canada Highway and rural routes. If a collision with wildlife occurs, the steps to follow are:

  • Prioritize safety and move to a safe location if possible.
  • Contact local authorities if required.
  • Notify Hertz immediately using the roadside assistance number on your rental agreement.
  • Document the incident with photos, the time, location, and any police report number.

CDW and LDW do not cover third-party liability, meaning damage or injury caused to others in the incident. For that protection, you need LIS/ALI/SLI coverage. Always review the full terms in your Hertz rental agreement in Newfoundland and Labrador to understand your deductible and any exclusions that may apply.

Can I add an additional driver to my Hertz rental in Newfoundland and Labrador?

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Hertz rental in Newfoundland and Labrador, either as part of your booking rate or by paying a fee at the counter.

For Hertz in Newfoundland and Labrador, the additional driver fee is CAD 13.50 per rental day plus applicable taxes, with a maximum charge of CAD 189 plus taxes for the rental period. Check your booking confirmation first, as some Hola Car Rentals rates include one additional driver at no extra cost.

Requirements for adding a driver at the Hertz counter in Newfoundland and Labrador:

  • The additional driver must be present at pickup with their valid physical driver's license.
  • They must meet the minimum age requirement. Drivers under 25 will incur the young driver surcharge in addition to the additional driver fee.
  • Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement.
  • The additional driver must meet the same document requirements as the primary renter.

Only drivers listed on the Hertz rental agreement in Newfoundland and Labrador are covered by CDW, LDW, and liability protections. Anyone not named on the contract who drives the vehicle may void those coverages.

Can I pick up a Hertz car in Newfoundland and Labrador and drop it off in another province?

Yes, one-way rentals are possible with Hertz in Newfoundland and Labrador, but a drop-off fee will typically apply when you return the vehicle to a different location, particularly across provincial boundaries.

One-way fees for Hertz rentals originating in Newfoundland and Labrador vary depending on the destination, vehicle class, and season. Because Newfoundland and Labrador is geographically separated from mainland Canada, cross-provincial one-way routes may carry higher repositioning fees or limited availability compared to rentals within a single province.

When booking through Hola Car Rentals, any applicable drop-off fee will be displayed on the rate details page under the section labeled as amounts due at the destination. This fee is not prepaid and must be settled at the Hertz counter at pickup or return.

If you need to change your drop-off location after booking, contact Hola Car Rentals support, as changes may reprice the rental and recalculate the one-way fee. Always confirm the final fee on your updated booking confirmation before proceeding.

What travel assistance is included with a Hertz booking in Newfoundland and Labrador?

Most Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Hertz rentals in Newfoundland and Labrador, include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection at no additional cost.

This benefit is particularly relevant in Newfoundland and Labrador, where remote stretches of highway and rural areas can make access to medical or legal support more challenging. Coverage typically includes:

  • Travel insurance with medical coverage for up to 5 passengers.
  • Legal assistance in the event of an accident.
  • Compensation for luggage lost by the airline.
  • Flight cancellation insurance.

To reach the assistance team 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 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 Canadian residents or US residents. It is available exclusively to travelers from outside North America renting a Hertz vehicle in Newfoundland and Labrador. It also does not cover damage to the rental vehicle itself; that is handled by CDW or LDW coverage.

What happens if I return my Hertz car late in Newfoundland and Labrador?

If you return your Hertz rental in Newfoundland and Labrador after the agreed drop-off time, a grace period of approximately 30 minutes typically applies before additional charges are triggered. However, grace periods are not guaranteed and vary by Hertz location.

If you exceed the grace period, Hertz may charge for extra hours or an additional full rental day, plus any applicable late fees. This applies at all Hertz locations in Newfoundland and Labrador, including St. John's Airport and Deer Lake Airport.

To avoid late return charges when renting from Hertz in Newfoundland and Labrador:

  • Plan your return time to account for refueling stops near the drop-off location.
  • Factor in driving time from more remote areas of the province, where distances can be significant.
  • If you need more time, contact Hertz directly to request an extension before your scheduled return time.

If you need to extend your rental, you can also contact Hola Car Rentals support. Extensions are subject to vehicle availability and may reprice the rental. Always confirm any extension in writing before the original return time passes.
