Will I face unexpected charges at the Hertz counter in Quebec when I book through Hola Car Rentals?
No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Hertz booking in Quebec 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 Quebec 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 is the Hertz counter at Quebec City Airport (YQB)?
The Hertz counter at Quebec City Airport (YQB) is located at 507 Rue Principale, Suite 119, approximately 0.2 miles from the terminal building. The counter is accessible via the airport's first floor, across from the main terminal, and a shuttle service is also available to reach it.
Counter operating hours at the Hertz Quebec City Airport location are:
- Monday through Friday: 08:00 to 23:59
- Saturday: 09:00 to 21:00
- Sunday: 08:00 to 23:59
If you are arriving outside these hours, check your booking confirmation for after-hours instructions or contact the Hertz branch directly. Bring your booking confirmation or printed voucher, a valid driver's license, and a major credit card in the main driver's name to complete the pickup process smoothly.
What documents do I need to pick up a Hertz rental car in Quebec?
To pick up a Hertz rental car in Quebec, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:
- A valid, original, unexpired driver's license in the main driver's name
- A major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card, in the main driver's name, for the security deposit hold
- A passport or valid government-issued photo ID
- Your booking confirmation or printed Hertz voucher
- Round-trip flight or cruise tickets (required for visitors from outside Canada)
If your driver's license is not in English and uses a non-Latin alphabet (for example, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic), an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory alongside your original license. For licenses in other non-English scripts, an IDP is strongly recommended. The IDP is a translation only and cannot be used without your original license.
All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies or photos on a phone are not accepted at the Hertz counter in Quebec.
How do toll roads work for a Hertz rental car in Quebec?
Quebec operates cashless toll roads, meaning you cannot pay with cash at toll booths. All tolls must be settled electronically or online.
When renting a Hertz vehicle in Quebec, your car will typically include an electronic toll device. At the Hertz 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 and vehicle class)
- A pay-per-use option, where Hertz bills the actual toll amounts plus administrative or processing fees to your credit card after the rental
If you opt out of the Hertz toll program, you are responsible for paying tolls through the applicable Quebec cashless system. Driving through a cashless toll without a valid payment method may result in fines and additional fees billed through the rental agreement.
Note that toll charges can appear on your card days or even weeks after you return the vehicle, as toll agencies process invoices in batches. Always review the toll terms in your Hertz rental agreement before signing.
Can I get cashback on tolls paid during my Hertz rental in Quebec?
Yes, you can get cashback on tolls paid during your Hertz rental in Quebec through the Hola Car Rentals Tolls Cashback benefit, which is included in all bookings.
Quebec uses a cashless toll system, so any tolls charged through the Hertz toll program or billed to your card are eligible for this benefit. Here is how it works:
- You receive up to 5% of your total booking value back for tolls paid during the rental period
- The refund covers the lesser of the actual tolls paid or the 5% cap
- Example: if your booking total is US$500, the maximum cashback is US$25
To claim your Tolls Cashback after returning your Hertz vehicle in Quebec, email [email protected] within 30 days of return. Include:
- Your Hola Car Rentals reservation confirmation
- A copy of the Hertz rental agreement signed at pickup
- A receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid
Refunds are issued to the original payment method and typically process within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Late submissions beyond 30 days are not accepted.
What is the security deposit amount for a Hertz rental in Quebec?
When picking up a Hertz rental car in Quebec, the counter will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card. This hold is not a charge but reduces your available credit until it is released after you return the vehicle.
For Hertz rentals in Quebec, the typical hold range is approximately CAUS$ 300 to CAUS$ 750, depending on the vehicle class, rental location, and season. Premium or specialty vehicles may carry higher holds.
Important requirements for the deposit at the Hertz counter in Quebec:
- You must present a physical, major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card
- The card must be in the main driver's name
- Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual or digital-only cards are not accepted for the deposit hold
- You must have sufficient available credit to cover both the hold and any expected charges
After you return the Hertz vehicle in Quebec, the hold is released, but your bank controls when it appears back on your available credit, which can take up to 15 business days. Bringing a backup credit card is always recommended in case your primary card is declined.
Is there a young driver surcharge for Hertz rentals in Quebec?
Yes, there is a young driver surcharge for Hertz rentals in Quebec if the main driver or an additional driver is between 20 and 24 years old.
In Quebec, the minimum rental age at Hertz is 18 years old. Drivers aged 20 to 24 are subject to a surcharge of CAUS$ 15 per day plus applicable taxes. Vehicle restrictions may also apply for younger drivers, meaning certain vehicle classes may not be available.
Key points to keep in mind:
- The surcharge applies per rental day and is paid at the Hertz counter in Quebec at pickup
- All drivers on the agreement, including additional drivers, must meet the minimum age requirement
- The young driver surcharge is separate from any additional driver fee that may apply
If you are booking for a driver under 25, confirm vehicle class availability and surcharge amounts directly with the Hertz location in Quebec, as restrictions can vary. Always review your booking confirmation for any age-related conditions disclosed at the time of booking.
Is third-party liability insurance included in a Hertz rental in Quebec?
Yes, a base level of third-party liability coverage is included by law in every Hertz rental in Quebec. Under Canadian provincial law, every rental vehicle must carry statutory third-party liability insurance, and this coverage follows the car automatically when you rent in Quebec.
However, the statutory minimum may not be sufficient for all situations. You can purchase supplemental liability coverage (LIS/ALI/SLI) to increase your protection limits. This additional coverage protects you against bodily injury and property damage you may cause to other people while driving the Hertz vehicle in Quebec.
Important distinctions to understand:
- Third-party liability covers injury or damage to others, not damage to the Hertz rental car itself
- Damage to the rental vehicle is covered separately by CDW/LDW (Collision Damage Waiver)
- Personal injuries to you or your passengers require PAI (Personal Accident Insurance)
Always verify the exact liability limits on your Hertz rental agreement in Quebec before driving. If you want higher coverage limits than the statutory minimum, ask the Hertz counter agent about supplemental liability options at pickup.
What does CDW insurance cover on a Hertz rental in Quebec?
CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) on a Hertz rental in Quebec reduces your financial liability for damage to the rental vehicle caused by a collision, theft, or vandalism.
What CDW typically covers on a Hertz vehicle in Quebec:
- Collision damage to the rental car up to the vehicle's value, minus any applicable deductible
- Theft or vandalism of the Hertz vehicle
- Standard claim handling when incidents are reported promptly
What CDW does not cover:
- Damage to third parties, their vehicles, or property (that requires LIS/ALI/SLI)
- Tires, wheels, undercarriage, roof, or keys unless explicitly included
- Incidents caused by prohibited use such as driving under the influence, off-road use, or unauthorized drivers
- Damage not reported within the required time window
A deductible may apply unless your Hertz booking confirmation in Quebec explicitly states zero deductible. Review the rental agreement carefully at the Hertz counter in Quebec before signing, and take photos of the vehicle's condition at pickup and return to protect yourself in case of any dispute.
Does travel assistance coverage apply to Hertz rentals in Quebec?
Travel assistance coverage is included with most Hola Car Rentals bookings, but it does not apply to residents of Canada or the United States. If you are a Canadian or American resident renting a Hertz vehicle in Quebec, this benefit is not available to you.
For eligible customers (non-North American residents) renting a Hertz car in Quebec, the travel assistance benefit provided through Terrawind Global Protection typically includes:
- Travel insurance with medical coverage for up to 5 passengers
- Legal assistance in case of an accident, for example if an incident occurs on a Quebec highway
- Compensation for luggage lost by the airline
- Flight cancellation insurance
This coverage does not include damage to the Hertz rental vehicle (covered by CDW/LDW) or third-party liability (covered by LIS/ALI/SLI). Pre-existing medical conditions are also excluded.
If you need assistance during your Hertz rental in Quebec, contact the 24/7 assistance line at +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free) or via WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call.
What is the fuel policy for Hertz rentals in Quebec?
Hertz rentals in Quebec 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 fuel charges.
Steps to follow to avoid fuel charges on your Hertz rental in Quebec:
- 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
- Refuel within approximately 10 miles or 15 km of the Hertz return location in Quebec 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 Quebec 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 retail pump price, plus a refueling service fee.
If the vehicle was not full at pickup, ask the Hertz agent to record the exact starting level on the agreement and return it at that same level to avoid any dispute.
Can I add an additional driver to my Hertz rental in Quebec?
Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Hertz rental in Quebec, but the additional driver must be present at the Hertz counter at pickup with a valid driver's license to be added to the rental agreement.
Additional driver fees for Hertz in Quebec when not included in your rate:
- Hertz charges CAUS$ 13.50 per rental day plus applicable taxes for each additional driver
- The maximum charge is CAUS$ 189 plus taxes per rental period
Check your booking confirmation before arriving at the Hertz counter in Quebec. If your rate includes one additional driver free of charge, it will be stated explicitly as "Additional driver free of charge" on your confirmation.
Requirements for adding a driver in Quebec:
- The additional driver must be physically present at the Hertz counter at pickup
- They must present a valid, original driver's license
- They must meet the minimum age requirement (18 years old in Quebec, with a surcharge for drivers aged 20 to 24)
- Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement
Only drivers named on the Hertz rental agreement in Quebec are covered by CDW/LDW and liability protections.
Can I pick up a Hertz car in Quebec and return it in another city?
Yes, one-way rentals are possible with Hertz in Quebec, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on the pickup and return locations you select.
How one-way fees work for Hertz rentals in Quebec:
- Returning the vehicle to a different city or airport within Quebec or another Canadian province will typically trigger a drop-off fee
- The fee amount varies by route, vehicle class, season, and availability
- Cross-border one-way rentals (for example, Quebec to the United States) may be restricted or carry significantly higher fees, and some routes may not be permitted at all
The drop-off fee for your Hertz Quebec rental will be shown during the booking process under the "To pay at destination" section. It is not included in the prepaid rate and cannot be prepaid online. Review your booking confirmation carefully to confirm whether a drop-off fee applies to your specific route.
If you need to change your return location after booking, contact support promptly, as changes may reprice the rental and recalculate the drop-off fee. Always confirm one-way permissions with the Hertz counter in Quebec at pickup.
What happens if I arrive late to pick up my Hertz rental in Quebec?
If you arrive late to pick up your Hertz rental in Quebec, the booking will generally be held for up to 24 hours from the original scheduled pickup time. If you do not collect the vehicle within that 24-hour window, the reservation may be forfeited with no refund.
Key points to keep in mind for late arrivals at the Hertz counter in Quebec:
- If your flight is delayed by less than 24 hours, the Hertz location in Quebec should hold your booking, but you must arrive during counter operating hours
- The Hertz counter at Quebec City Airport (YQB) closes at 21:00 on Saturdays and 23:59 on other days, so plan your arrival accordingly
- If your delay exceeds 24 hours, contact Hola Car Rentals support via WhatsApp at +1 (786) 999-8312 or email [email protected] as soon as possible
There is no refund for late pickup if you collect and return the vehicle outside the dates on your Hertz voucher. If you arrive after the counter has closed, after-hours pickup arrangements must be confirmed in advance with the Hertz branch in Quebec. Always check your booking confirmation for specific instructions.
