Frequently Asked Questions
What does my Hola Car Rentals booking with Hertz in Tennessee include that other companies don't offer?

- Free liability coverage starting at US$ 300,000 in case of an accident (applies only to certain rates and itineraries)
- Toll cashback: recover up to 5% of the reservation's total value for toll charges incurred during your rental period
- Premium travel medical assistance providing up to US$ 150,000 in coverage for a maximum of 5 passengers in case of a medical emergency, excluding pre-existing conditions
- 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 of this comes at no extra cost, ensuring a fully protected Hertz rental experience and peace of mind throughout your trip in Tennessee.
Will I face unexpected charges at the Hertz counter in Tennessee when I book through Hola Car Rentals?
No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Hertz booking in Tennessee 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 Tennessee 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 in Tennessee that affect my Hertz rental?
No, Tennessee has no toll roads, toll bridges, or toll tunnels anywhere in the state, so your Hertz rental will not incur any toll charges while driving within Tennessee.
This means you do not need to worry about transponder programs such as Hertz PlatePass, cashless toll lanes, or any toll-related administrative fees during your time in Tennessee. Common routes like I-40 between Nashville and Knoxville, or I-65 between Nashville and Memphis, are completely toll-free.
There are also no congestion charges or emissions-zone fees anywhere in Tennessee, so you can drive freely without enrolling in any toll program.
If your trip takes you beyond Tennessee into neighboring states that do have tolls, your Hertz vehicle will include an electronic toll device. In that case, you can choose an unlimited toll package at the counter (typically US$11 to US$25 per day, depending on location) or pay per use, with actual toll amounts plus administrative fees billed to your card after the rental.
What documents do I need to pick up my Hertz rental in Tennessee?
To collect your Hertz rental in Tennessee, you must present the following physical documents at 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 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, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory alongside your original license. For licenses in English or a Latin alphabet, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required at most Hertz Tennessee locations.
All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted at the Hertz counter in Tennessee or anywhere else in the United States.
Does Hertz in Tennessee require an International Driving Permit?
Not always, but it depends on your license. At Hertz locations in Tennessee, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory if your driver's license uses a non-Latin alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic (Russian) script. In that case, you must carry both your original license and the IDP together.
If your license is in English or uses a Latin (Roman) alphabet, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required by Hertz in Tennessee. However, having one can prevent delays or disputes at the counter.
Important points to keep in mind:
- The IDP is a translation document only and is never valid on its own without your original license
- You must obtain the IDP in your home country before traveling, as it cannot be issued to you once you are in the United States
- All documents presented at the Hertz counter in Tennessee must be physical originals, not digital copies
Does my Hertz booking in Tennessee include Tolls Cashback?
Yes, all bookings made through Hola Car Rentals, including Hertz rentals in Tennessee, include Tolls Cashback of up to 5% of your total booking value.
Because Tennessee has no toll roads, you will not pay any tolls while driving within the state. However, if your trip takes you into neighboring states that do have tolls, such as Virginia or Georgia, any tolls you pay during your Hertz rental period are eligible for the cashback benefit.
To claim your Tolls Cashback after returning your Hertz vehicle in Tennessee or elsewhere:
- Email [email protected] within 30 days of vehicle return
- Include your Hola Car Rentals reservation confirmation, the signed rental agreement, and a receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid
- Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback - HOLA followed by your confirmation number
Refunds are issued to the original payment method and typically process within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Claims submitted after 30 days are not accepted.
What is the minimum age to rent a Hertz car in Tennessee?
At Hertz locations in Tennessee, the standard minimum age to rent without a surcharge is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent but will be charged a daily young-renter surcharge on top of the base rental rate.
Key details for under-25 drivers renting from Hertz in Tennessee:
- The young-renter surcharge for Hertz, Dollar, and Thrifty is US$13.50 per rental day plus applicable taxes, with a maximum cap of US$189 plus taxes
- Most vehicle classes are restricted to drivers 25 and older, including full-size, SUV, premium, luxury, convertible, minivan, and van categories
- Drivers aged 21 to 24 are generally limited to economy, compact, and intermediate vehicle classes at Hertz in Tennessee
- Drivers under 21 cannot rent from Hertz in Tennessee (unlike New York or Michigan, which have state-specific exceptions)
A valid driver's license and a major credit card in the main driver's name are required regardless of age. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit.
How does the security deposit work for a Hertz rental in Tennessee?
When you pick up your Hertz rental in Tennessee, the counter will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card. This is not a charge but it reduces your available credit until the hold is released after you return the vehicle.
Key facts about the deposit for Hertz in Tennessee:
- Typical hold amounts in the United States are approximately US$300 to US$400 for standard vehicles, though the exact amount varies by Hertz location, vehicle class, and rental duration
- The hold must be placed on a major credit card with the driver's name physically printed on the card
- Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual or digital-only cards are not accepted for the deposit
- Premium or specialty vehicles may require a higher hold amount
After you return your Hertz vehicle in Tennessee and the contract is closed, the hold is released. Your bank or card issuer controls how quickly the funds become available again, which can take up to 15 business days. Bringing a backup credit card in your name is always a good precaution in case your primary card is declined.
Can I add an additional driver to my Hertz rental in Tennessee?
Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Hertz rental in Tennessee, but the additional driver must be present at the counter at the time of pickup with their own valid driver's license.
Whether the fee is included or charged at the counter depends on your rate:
- If your booking confirmation shows "Additional driver free of charge," the first extra driver is included at no cost
- If not included, Hertz in Tennessee charges US$13.50 per rental day plus taxes for each additional driver, with a maximum cap of US$189 plus taxes for the rental period
Additional requirements for extra drivers at Hertz in Tennessee:
- The additional driver must meet the same minimum age requirements as the main driver
- If the additional driver's license uses a non-Latin alphabet, they will also need an International Driving Permit
- Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement at the Hertz counter
- Only drivers listed on the rental agreement are covered by the vehicle's protections
Anyone who drives the Hertz vehicle in Tennessee without being listed on the agreement may void coverage and result in additional charges.
What fuel policy applies to Hertz rentals in Tennessee?
Hertz rentals in Tennessee follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid fuel charges.
Steps to follow for a smooth fuel return at any Hertz location in Tennessee:
- At pickup, check the fuel gauge with the 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 so the gauge does not drop before you arrive
- Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address
- Take a photo of the full gauge before handing back the keys
If you return the Hertz vehicle in Tennessee 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, leave the receipt in the key envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge for your records.
What travel assistance is included with my Hertz rental in Tennessee?
Most bookings made through Hola Car Rentals, including Hertz rentals in Tennessee, include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection. This benefit is particularly useful if you experience a medical emergency or other travel disruption while driving through Tennessee.
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
This coverage does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada. It is designed for international visitors renting a Hertz vehicle in Tennessee who are traveling from outside North America.
To get help 24 hours a day, 7 days a week:
- Call +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free)
- WhatsApp: +1 208 910 1001
- Email: [email protected]
Always check your booking confirmation for the exact terms, limits, and exclusions that apply to your specific Hertz reservation in Tennessee.
What insurance options are available for a Hertz rental in Tennessee?
When picking up your Hertz rental in Tennessee, you will typically encounter two main types of coverage to consider:
- Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): This reduces your financial liability for damage to the Hertz vehicle itself from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation explicitly states zero deductible. CDW and LDW do not cover damage you cause to other people or their property.
- Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI): This covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving the Hertz vehicle in Tennessee. Some U.S. states require a minimum level of liability coverage, but not all do. Hola Car Rentals strongly recommends adding Liability Insurance Supplementary (up to US$300,000) to your Hertz rental.
These two coverages work together: CDW or LDW protects the Hertz vehicle, while LIS protects others. Neither covers your personal injuries (that is Personal Accident Insurance) or your belongings (that is Personal Effects Coverage).
Always review your booking confirmation before arriving at the Hertz counter in Tennessee to understand which protections are already included in your rate and which are optional add-ons.
Can I pick up a Hertz car in Tennessee and return it in another state?
Yes, one-way rentals are generally available with Hertz in Tennessee, allowing you to pick up in one city or state and return the vehicle at a different location. However, a drop-off fee may apply depending on the route.
How one-way fees work for Hertz rentals originating in Tennessee:
- Same-city routes, such as Nashville airport to downtown Nashville, often have no drop-off fee
- Routes between different cities within Tennessee or to other states typically carry a drop-off fee that varies by distance, vehicle class, and season
- Cross-border rentals into Canada or Mexico are generally restricted or require prior authorization from Hertz
The drop-off fee, if applicable, will be shown during the booking process under the "To pay at destination" section of your confirmation. This fee cannot be prepaid and is paid directly at the Hertz counter in Tennessee or at the return location.
If you need to change your return location after booking, be aware that modifications may reprice the rental and recalculate any applicable drop-off fee. Always confirm the updated terms before making changes.
Where are the Hertz pickup counters located at Tennessee airports?
Hertz operates rental counters at several major Tennessee airports. Based on available information, pickup locations include:
- Nashville International Airport (BNA): Hertz is located at 1 Terminal Drive and also at 1201 Briley Parkway, Nashville
- Memphis International Airport (MEM): Hertz operates a counter at Memphis International Airport
- Knoxville Airport (TYS): Hertz has a presence at Knoxville Airport
- Chattanooga Lovell Field Airport (CHA): Hertz operates at this airport
- Tri-City Airport (TRI) in Blountville: Hertz is located at 2525 Highway 75, serving the Johnson City and Kingsport area
In addition to airport locations, Hertz in Tennessee also has city and neighborhood counters in Nashville, including a downtown location at the Hilton Downtown (121 4th Ave S) and other spots around the city.
At each Tennessee airport, follow the car rental signs from the arrivals area to reach the Hertz counter. If you are unsure of the exact counter location upon arrival, use the airport information desk or courtesy phones. Always confirm your specific pickup address on your booking confirmation before traveling.
What happens if my flight is delayed and I arrive late for my Hertz pickup in Tennessee?
If your flight is delayed and you arrive later than your scheduled Hertz pickup time in Tennessee, the rental company will generally hold your reservation for up to 24 hours from the original pickup time.
What to expect depending on the delay length:
- Delay of less than 24 hours: Hertz in Tennessee will hold your booking. Make sure you arrive during the counter's operating hours, as after-hours pickup may not be available at all Tennessee locations
- Delay of more than 24 hours: Contact Hola Car Rentals support as soon as possible via WhatsApp at +1 (786) 999-8312 or by email at [email protected]. Changes are not guaranteed but the team will assist where possible
If you arrive after the Hertz counter has closed at your Tennessee airport, check your booking confirmation for any after-hours instructions or key-drop procedures specific to that location. Not all Hertz locations in Tennessee offer after-hours pickup, so confirming this in advance is recommended.
To avoid losing your reservation, always notify Hertz or Hola Car Rentals support promptly if you know your arrival will be significantly delayed.
