No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your booking in Saskatoon 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 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 counter in Saskatoon 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 the hire partner 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)

Your minivan pickup at Saskatoon John G. Diefenbaker International Airport (YXE) is straightforward. After collecting your bags, proceed to the hire car facility located across from baggage claim on the first floor of the terminal, where brands such as Enterprise, Avis, National, Hertz, and Thrifty have counters.

The main counter address used by several brands is 2625 Airport Dr., Saskatoon, SK S7L 7L1. Dollar and Thrifty also operate from a North off-airport location at 3911 Burron Avenue, Saskatoon, SK S7P 0C3. Your minivan will be parked outside baggage claim or in the designated hire area nearby.

Counter hours vary by brand. Enterprise, for example, operates Monday to Friday 7:30 AM to 11:59 PM and Saturday to Sunday 8:00 AM to 11:59 PM. Plan for roughly 15 to 20 minutes from arrival to driving away in your minivan. Confirm your specific brand's hours on your booking confirmation before you travel.

Yes, you can pick up a minivan at downtown Saskatoon locations instead of the airport, though hours are more limited.

Two city centre options are available:

• Budget: 602 1st Ave N, Saskatoon, SK S7K 1X7, open Monday to Friday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Saturday and Sunday 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM
• Enterprise: 1206 Central Ave, Saskatoon, SK S7N 2H2, open Monday to Friday 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM, closed Saturday and Sunday

The key difference from the airport is that downtown Saskatoon locations close much earlier and have no weekend evening availability. If your minivan reservation starts on a weekend afternoon or evening, the airport counters at YXE are the better choice since they operate until midnight. After-hours minivan returns at the downtown Budget location are handled via a key drop box. Always verify hours on your booking confirmation before finalising your Saskatoon pickup location.

No, there are no toll roads anywhere in Saskatchewan, so driving your minivan in and around Saskatoon is completely toll-free.

Unlike Ontario (which has the 407 ETR) or several U.S. states, Saskatchewan has no cashless toll highways, no toll bridges, and no congestion charges or emissions zones of any kind. Toll transponder programmes such as TollPass or PlatePass are not offered at Saskatoon hire locations because there is simply no toll infrastructure in the province.

This means you will not need to enrol in any toll programme, and there is no risk of unexpected toll billing on your credit card after returning your minivan. If you plan to drive your Saskatoon minivan into other provinces where tolls do exist, keep your receipts, as the Tolls Cashback benefit included with your booking can reimburse up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during the hire period.

To collect your minivan in Saskatoon, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:

• A valid, unexpired driver’s licence with a photo in the main driver’s name
• A major credit card with the driver’s name printed on the physical card, for the security deposit hold
• A passport or valid government-issued photo ID (required for visitors)
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets if you are visiting from abroad

If your driver’s licence is not in English and does not use a Latin alphabet (for example, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script), an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory alongside your original licence. For licences in English or using a Latin alphabet, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required at Saskatoon hire counters.

All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies shown on a phone are not accepted. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit hold on your Saskatoon minivan hire.

Yes, every minivan booking made through Hola Car Rentals includes the Tolls Cashback benefit, which is useful if your Saskatoon hire takes you into provinces where toll roads exist.

Saskatchewan itself has no toll roads, so there is nothing to claim for driving within the province. However, if you drive your minivan from Saskatoon into a region with tolls, such as Ontario's 407 ETR, you can claim back up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during the hire period.

To claim after returning your minivan in Saskatoon:

• Email [email protected] within 30 days of vehicle return
• Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback - Reservation [Your Confirmation Number]
• Attach your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation, the signed hire agreement, and a toll receipt or statement showing charges paid

Refunds are processed to the original payment method within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Late submissions beyond 30 days are not accepted.

Yes, a young driver surcharge applies to minivan hires in Saskatoon for drivers under 25 years old.

At Enterprise's Saskatoon locations, drivers aged 21 to 24 are charged an underage surcharge of approximately US$20 per day. Note that certain vehicle classes, which may include larger minivans, can be restricted for underage drivers at Saskatoon counters, so it is worth confirming availability for your specific minivan category when booking.

Drivers under 21 are generally not permitted to hire at Saskatoon locations. The surcharge is paid directly at the counter and is not included in your prepaid rate.

If you are adding a second driver to your Saskatoon minivan who is also under 25, the young driver surcharge applies to them as well. All additional drivers must be present at pickup with a valid licence. Check your booking confirmation for the exact age policy of the partner brand handling your Saskatoon minivan hire.

Yes, after-hours minivan returns are available at Saskatoon Airport (YXE) through key drop boxes provided by several partner brands.

To return your minivan outside staffed counter hours at Saskatoon:

• Drive to 2625 Airport Dr., Saskatoon, SK S7L 7L1 and follow signs to the hire car area outside the terminal
• Park and lock your minivan in the designated return area
• Place your keys and a copy of the hire contract in the key drop box (available at National, Alamo, and Avis locations at Saskatoon Airport)
• Take photos of the minivan's condition and fuel gauge before walking away

Keep in mind that your liability for the minivan may continue until the hire company formally checks it in during staffed hours. Retain all paperwork and photos in case any post-return charges appear on your card. If you have questions about a charge after returning your Saskatoon minivan, contact support with your hire agreement and photos as evidence.

When you pick up your minivan in Saskatoon, the hire partner will place a temporary authorisation hold on your credit card as a security deposit. For Canadian locations, this hold is typically in the range of CA$ 300 to CA$ 500, though some Saskatoon locations may require a hold of approximately CA$ 750, and larger vehicles like minivans can attract higher amounts.

Important things to know about the deposit for your Saskatoon minivan:

• The hold is not a charge; it temporarily reduces your available credit until released after return
• You must present a physical, major credit card with your name printed on the card, debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted
• The card must be in the main driver’s name
• Your bank controls how quickly the hold is released after you return the minivan, which can take up to 15 business days

Bring a backup credit card in case your primary card is declined at the Saskatoon counter. Notify your bank of your travel plans to prevent fraud blocks on the authorisation.

Yes, most minivan bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection, though this benefit does not apply to Canadian or U.S. residents.

For eligible renters picking up a minivan in Saskatoon, the coverage typically includes:

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

If you experience a medical emergency or accident while driving your minivan in or around Saskatoon, contact the assistance line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free). You can also reach Terrawind via WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001 or by email at [email protected]. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call.

This coverage does not include damage to the minivan itself (that is handled by CDW/LDW) or third-party liability. Check your booking confirmation for the exact terms applicable to your Saskatoon hire.

When hiring a minivan in Saskatoon, there are two main types of protection to understand before you arrive at the counter.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) covers damage to the minivan itself from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation states zero excess. CDW/LDW does not cover damage you cause to other vehicles or people.

Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI) covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving your Saskatoon minivan. Under Canadian provincial law, every hire vehicle in Saskatchewan must carry statutory third-party liability, so a base level is included by default. You can purchase higher supplemental liability limits if you want additional protection.

Neither CDW/LDW nor third-party liability covers:

• Your personal belongings inside the minivan
• Personal injuries to you or your passengers (that requires PAI)
• Damage caused by prohibited use such as off-road driving or driving under the influence

Review your Saskatoon minivan booking confirmation to confirm which coverages are already included in your rate before accepting or declining anything at the counter.

Your Saskatoon minivan hire uses a Full-to-Full fuel policy by default. You receive the minivan with a full tank and must return it full to avoid fuel charges.

To avoid extra fees on your Saskatoon minivan:

• Check the fuel gauge with the agent at pickup and confirm the starting level is recorded on the hire agreement
• Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and fuel gauge
• Refuel within approximately 15 km of the return location before dropping off the minivan
• Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address
• For after-hours returns at Saskatoon Airport, leave the receipt in the key drop envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge

If you return the minivan below the recorded starting level, the hire partner will charge you for the fuel shortfall at their own refuelling rate, which is typically higher than pump prices, plus a service fee. Ask the agent at the Saskatoon counter to point you toward the nearest fuel station to the return location if you are unfamiliar with the area.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your minivan hire in Saskatoon, either at no cost if your rate includes it or for a daily fee paid at the counter.

Check your booking confirmation for the line "Additional driver free of charge." If it is not listed, the per-day fees at Saskatoon partner counters are approximately:

• Avis, Budget, Payless: US$13 per day, capped at US$65
• Hertz, Thrifty, Dollar: US$13.50 per day, capped at US$189
• Alamo, National, Enterprise: US$15 per day (no stated cap)

The additional driver must be present at the Saskatoon counter at pickup with their own valid driver’s licence and photo ID. If their licence is not in English or uses a non-Latin alphabet, they will also need an International Driving Permit. Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the hire agreement before leaving with the minivan.

Only drivers listed on the agreement are covered by CDW/LDW and liability protections. Never allow an unlisted person to drive your Saskatoon minivan, as this can void your cover.

Yes, one-way minivan hires from Saskatoon to a different city are possible, but a drop-off fee will typically apply and must be reviewed before you book.

When searching for a Saskatoon minivan with a different return location, the drop-off fee is shown on the rate details page under the "To pay at destination" section during checkout. This fee is set by the hire partner and varies based on the route, distance, season, and vehicle class. Larger vehicles like minivans can carry higher repositioning fees than standard cars.

Key things to know about one-way minivan hires from Saskatoon:

• The drop-off fee cannot be prepaid and is settled at the Saskatoon pickup counter or the return location
• Cross-border one-ways (for example, Saskatoon to a U.S. city) may be restricted or require special authorisation from the hire partner
• Changing your return location after booking can reprice the entire hire and recalculate the fee
• If the counter charges a higher fee than shown on your confirmation, keep all paperwork and contact support, as the No Extra Charges© guarantee may apply

Always confirm the exact drop-off fee for your specific Saskatoon minivan route before finalising your reservation.
