Will I face unexpected charges at the Payless counter in Hebron when I book through Hola Car Rentals?
No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Payless booking in Hebron 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 Payless 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 Payless counter in Hebron 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 Payless 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 Payless counter located at Hebron's CVG airport?
The Payless counter in Hebron is not inside the CVG terminal building. The facility is located at 3057 Terminal Dr, Hebron, KY 41048, and requires a shuttle ride from the airport terminal.
After collecting your baggage, follow the Ground Transport West signage to reach the rental car shuttle stop. Payless operates a shuttle service between the CVG terminal and their off-site facility at 3057 Terminal Dr. Look for the Payless shuttle among the rental car buses at the marked stop.
The Payless counter in Hebron is open daily from 06:00 to 22:00. If your flight arrives close to or after 22:00, check your reservation instructions carefully, as after-hours pickup details are not guaranteed at this location. Build extra time into your arrival plan to account for baggage claim, the shuttle wait, and counter paperwork before you drive away.
What documents do I need to pick up my Payless rental car in Hebron?
To collect your Payless rental in Hebron, you must bring the following physical documents to 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, for the security deposit 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 written 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 at the Payless counter in Hebron. Even if your license uses Roman characters but is not in English, carrying an IDP is strongly recommended to avoid any issues.
All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted. Debit cards and prepaid cards cannot be used for the security hold.
How do tolls work near Hebron when renting from Payless?
Toll roads in the Hebron and greater Kentucky region are entirely cashless. There are no toll booths where you can pay with coins or bills. Cameras photograph license plates at toll plazas and charges are collected electronically.
The primary toll system operating in Kentucky is RiverLink, which covers the bridges connecting Louisville and Southern Indiana, including the John F. Kennedy Memorial, Abraham Lincoln, and Lewis and Clark bridges. The system also accepts E-ZPass and Pay-By-Plate accounts.
When you pick up your Payless vehicle in Hebron, you will have two main options for handling tolls:
- Enroll in the rental company's toll program, which typically charges a daily convenience fee (around US$4.95 per day, capped at approximately US$30 to US$34.65 per rental period) plus the actual toll amounts at the applicable video or cash rate
- Use your own personally owned transponder if it is compatible with the Kentucky toll network, or register your rental plate through an app such as NextPass to avoid the daily convenience fee
If you drive through a cashless toll without enrolling in any program, the rental company will receive the invoice from the toll authority and pass the charges, plus administrative fees, to your credit card on file. Toll charges can appear on your statement weeks after the rental ends.
Can I get cashback on tolls paid during my Payless rental in Hebron?
Yes, all bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include Tolls Cashback, which lets you recover up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your Payless rental in Hebron.
Given that the Hebron area uses the cashless RiverLink system and toll charges can add up, especially if you cross the Ohio River bridges near Louisville, this benefit is worth claiming. Here is how it works:
- Pay your tolls normally during the rental, either through the Payless toll program or your own transponder
- After returning the vehicle, email [email protected] within 30 days
- Include your Hola Car Rentals reservation confirmation, the signed rental agreement, and a receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid
The refund is the lesser of the total tolls you paid or 5% of your booking total. For example, if your booking total was US$400, the cap is US$20. If you paid US$14 in tolls, you receive US$14 back. Refunds are processed to your original payment method within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Submissions received more than 30 days after vehicle return are not accepted.
Are there extra airport fees when picking up a Payless car in Hebron?
Yes, picking up a Payless rental in Hebron at CVG airport involves several fees beyond the base rental rate. These are standard charges for airport-based rentals in Kentucky and are not unique to Payless.
- Airport concession recovery fee: up to approximately 12.25% of the base rate, plus a fixed amount of around US$4.50 per day
- Customer facility charge: approximately US$4.50 per day
- Kentucky state rental vehicle tax: 6%
- Boone County local tax: approximately 1% to 3%
Combined, these charges can add roughly 10% or more to your total rental cost compared to an off-airport location. Your booking confirmation will show which taxes and fees are included in your prepaid rate and which are due at the Payless counter in Hebron at pickup. Review the confirmation carefully so there are no surprises when you arrive at the counter.
If a charge appears at the counter that was not disclosed on your confirmation and you did not opt into it, keep all paperwork and contact support after the rental ends.
What is the young driver surcharge for Payless rentals in Hebron?
Yes, a young driver surcharge applies to drivers under 25 years old at the Payless counter in Hebron. In the United States, 25 is the standard minimum age to rent without an additional fee.
For Payless in Hebron, drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent but will be charged a young-renter surcharge of US$13 per rental day plus applicable taxes, with a maximum charge of US$65 plus taxes for the rental period.
Additional restrictions to be aware of:
- Certain vehicle classes are restricted to drivers aged 25 and older, including full-size vehicles, SUVs, minivans, premium, and luxury categories
- For Payless, any additional driver must generally be at least 25 years old at the time of pickup
- Drivers under 21 cannot rent from Payless in Hebron
The surcharge is paid at the counter in Hebron and is not included in your prepaid rate. Make sure to Budget for this fee when comparing total rental costs.
Do I need an International Driving Permit for a Payless rental in Hebron?
It depends on your license. For your Payless rental in Hebron, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory if your driver's license uses a non-Latin alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script. Without an IDP in those cases, the Payless counter in Hebron may refuse to hand over the vehicle.
If your license uses Roman (Latin) characters but is not in English, an IDP is strongly recommended to avoid potential issues or fines, even if it is not strictly required in every case.
Key points to remember:
- An IDP is a translation document only. It must always be carried alongside your original driver's license, never on its own
- You must obtain your IDP in your home country before traveling. It cannot be issued abroad
- All documents presented at the Payless counter in Hebron must be physical originals. Digital versions are not accepted
If you are unsure whether your license requires an IDP for this rental, obtain one before your trip as a precaution. The cost is minimal and it eliminates any risk of being turned away at the counter.
How does the security deposit work for Payless rentals in Hebron?
When you pick up your Payless vehicle in Hebron, the counter agent 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 car.
For standard vehicles at U.S. locations, typical holds range from US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount at the Payless counter in Hebron may vary depending on the vehicle class and the agent's assessment.
Important requirements for the deposit:
- 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
- You must have sufficient available credit to cover the hold amount plus any expected charges
After you return the Payless vehicle in Hebron and the rental contract is closed, the hold is released. However, your bank or card issuer controls when the funds become available again, and this can take up to 15 business days. Bringing a backup credit card is always a good idea in case your primary card is declined.
What road construction should I expect near the Payless location in Hebron?
The Hebron area around CVG airport has several active construction zones that can affect drivers picking up a Payless rental and heading out on local roads.
- North Bend Road (KY 237) in Hebron has northbound lane restrictions between the 7.8 and 9.3 mile points, with right shoulder and single right lane closures daily from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. due to apartment development. This road connects the airport area to KY 20 (Petersburg Road) and is a common route for rental car customers
- Martha Lane Collins Boulevard has single lane closures with flaggers during daytime hours (9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.) and overnight paving work from 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.
- Roundabout construction at KY 536 intersections (KY 536 and KY 1303, and KY 536 and Hogrefe Road) creates temporary traffic pattern changes announced via message boards and social media, with work expected to continue through Spring 2027
- The I-275 Carroll Cropper Memorial Bridge near Hebron has a temporary 55 MPH speed limit and a queue warning system in effect through Spring 2025
When leaving the Payless facility in Hebron, allow extra travel time during daytime hours and watch for flaggers and temporary speed limit signs in active work zones.
Can I add an additional driver to my Payless rental in Hebron?
Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Payless rental in Hebron, but the additional driver must be present at the counter at the time of pickup with their own valid driver's license.
Key rules for additional drivers at Payless in Hebron:
- For Payless, additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old at the time of pickup
- If the additional driver fee is not included in your booking rate, Payless charges US$13 per rental day plus taxes, with a maximum of US$65 plus taxes for the rental period
- The additional driver must sign the rental agreement at the Payless counter in Hebron. If they do not sign, they are not covered by the rental protections
- If the additional driver's license is not in English or uses a non-Latin alphabet, they will also need an International Driving Permit
Check your booking confirmation before arriving at the Hebron counter. Some rates include one additional driver at no extra cost, which will be noted explicitly on your confirmation. Only drivers listed on the rental agreement are covered by the rental protections. Anyone not named on the contract who drives the vehicle may void your coverage.
What is the fuel policy for Payless rentals in Hebron?
Payless rentals in Hebron 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 to avoid fuel fees:
- At pickup, check the fuel gauge with the Payless 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 Hebron facility
- Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the return location at 3057 Terminal Dr in Hebron so the gauge does not drop before you return the car
- Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address
- For after-hours returns, leave the receipt in the key envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge on your phone
If you return the Payless vehicle in Hebron 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. Using the correct fuel type is also important, as wrong-fuel incidents are not covered by the fuel policy and can generate additional charges.
Is travel assistance included with my Payless booking in Hebron?
Yes, most bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection, and this applies to your Payless rental in Hebron as well. However, this benefit does not apply to customers who are residents of the United States or Canada.
For eligible customers, the coverage includes:
- Travel insurance with medical coverage for up to 5 passengers
- Legal assistance in the event of an accident
- Compensation for baggage lost by the airline
- Flight cancellation insurance
This is particularly useful if you experience a breakdown or accident on the highways around Hebron, such as on I-275 or the construction-affected stretches of KY 237, and need legal or medical support while away from home.
To use the assistance, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day, 7 days a week:
- Phone: +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free)

Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call. Check your booking confirmation for the exact coverage limits and conditions that apply to your Payless rental in Hebron.
Can I return my Payless car in a different city from Hebron?
Yes, one-way rentals are possible with Payless, but a drop-off fee may apply when you return the vehicle to a location different from the Hebron pickup point.
How the drop-off fee works:
- The fee is route-specific and varies depending on the destination city, distance, vehicle class, and season
- It is shown during the booking process on the rate details page under the section labeled as charges due at the destination
- The fee cannot be prepaid and is collected at the counter in Hebron or at the return location
- Changing your return location after booking may reprice the rental and recalculate the drop-off fee
Not every one-way route from Hebron will carry a drop-off fee. Short-distance routes between nearby airports or cities sometimes have no fee, while long-distance or cross-state routes typically do. Always check the booking details page carefully before confirming your reservation to see whether a drop-off fee applies to your specific Payless itinerary from Hebron.
If the counter charges a drop-off fee that was not disclosed on your confirmation, keep all paperwork and contact support after the rental ends.
