No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Thrifty booking in Doral 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 Thrifty 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 Thrifty counter in Doral 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 Thrifty 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)

The Thrifty branch in Doral is located at 7930 Northwest 36th Street, Suite 2101, Doral, FL 33166. This is a city location, not an airport counter, so you will need to arrange your own transportation from Miami International Airport (MIA) to reach it. A rideshare or taxi from MIA to the Doral address typically takes around 10 to 15 minutes depending on traffic.

A second Thrifty-affiliated location is available nearby at 1290 W 49th Street, Hialeah, FL 33012, which may serve as an alternative depending on your itinerary.

Because the Thrifty Doral branch is an off-airport city location, counter hours may differ from airport desks. Contact Thrifty directly or check your booking confirmation for current operating hours before heading to the Doral address, especially if you plan to arrive early in the morning or late at night.

To collect your Thrifty rental in Doral, you must bring the following physical documents:

• A valid, original 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 (required for visitors from outside the United States)

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 Latin script, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required at the Thrifty Doral counter.

All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit hold at Thrifty in Doral.

Florida's toll roads are almost entirely cashless, which directly affects your Thrifty rental in Doral. The Miami area, where Doral is located, includes several toll roads such as the Florida Turnpike and I-95 Express lanes. Tolls are collected electronically via transponder or plate-based billing (Toll-by-Plate).

At the Thrifty counter in Doral, you will typically have two options:

• Unlimited toll package: approximately US$13.99 per day or US$69.95 per week, covering all tolls during your rental
• Pay per use: if you decline the package, Thrifty will charge each toll plus administrative or processing fees to your credit card, sometimes weeks after you return the vehicle

If you prefer to manage tolls yourself, you may opt out of the Thrifty program and purchase a Florida visitor toll pass independently. If you do this, inform the Thrifty Doral counter agent so they can deactivate the vehicle's default device and prevent duplicate charges.

Estimated daily toll costs in the Miami and Doral area range from approximately US$5 to US$20 depending on the roads you use. Florida has no congestion charges or emissions zones, so standard road tolls are the only fee to plan for.

Yes, all Hola Car Rentals bookings include Tolls Cashback, which applies to your Thrifty rental in Doral and any toll roads you use in the Miami area or elsewhere in Florida during your trip.

The cashback covers up to 5% of your total booking value. For example, if your booking total is US$500, the maximum cashback is US$25. If your actual tolls were US$18, you receive US$18 back. If your tolls exceeded US$25, the refund is capped at US$25.

To claim your cashback after returning the Thrifty vehicle in Doral or at your drop-off location:

• Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle
• Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback - followed by your reservation number
• Attach your Hola Car Rentals confirmation, the Thrifty rental agreement, and a toll invoice or statement showing charges paid

Refunds are issued to the original payment method and typically process within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Submissions received after 30 days are not accepted.

When you pick up your Thrifty rental in Doral, 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 rental is closed and your bank releases the hold.

For standard vehicles rented in the United States, typical holds range from approximately US$300 to US$400. The exact amount at the Thrifty Doral location depends on the vehicle class, rental duration, and Thrifty's current policy. Premium or specialty vehicles may carry higher holds.

Important requirements for the deposit at the Thrifty Doral counter:

• The card must be a major credit card (not debit or prepaid)
• The card must be physical, with the main driver's name printed on it
• The card must have sufficient available credit to cover the hold plus any expected charges

After you return the vehicle, Thrifty releases the hold, but your bank controls when it reappears in your available balance, which can take up to 15 business days. Bringing a backup credit card to Doral is strongly recommended in case your primary card is declined.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Thrifty rental in Doral, but the extra driver must be physically present at the counter at the time of pickup to show a valid driver's license and sign the rental agreement.

When the additional driver fee is not included in your rate, Thrifty charges approximately US$13.50 per rental day, with a maximum cap of US$189 plus applicable taxes. This fee is paid directly at the Doral counter.

Requirements for adding a driver at the Thrifty Doral location:

• The additional driver must be present at pickup with a valid driver's license
• They must meet the minimum age requirements (25 is standard in Florida)
• If their license is not in a Latin alphabet, an IDP is also required
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement

Only drivers listed on the Thrifty rental agreement in Doral are covered by protections such as CDW/LDW. If someone drives who is not named on the contract, coverage may be void and additional charges could apply.

Yes, Thrifty offers one-way rentals from Doral, allowing you to return the vehicle at a different location such as Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, or other Florida cities. A one-way drop-off fee applies and the amount varies by route, vehicle class, and season.

When booking a one-way rental from the Thrifty Doral location, the drop-off fee will be shown on the booking details page under the section labeled "To pay at destination." This fee cannot be prepaid and is settled directly at the Thrifty counter in Doral or at the return location.

Key points to keep in mind:

• Not all routes from Doral carry a drop-off fee; short routes between nearby cities sometimes have no fee
• Long-distance or cross-state routes typically do carry a fee
• Changing your return location after booking may reprice the rental and recalculate the drop-off fee
• Cross-border one-ways (for example, returning in another country) are often restricted or require prior approval from Thrifty

Always review your confirmation to verify the drop-off fee for your specific Doral to destination route before completing your booking.

Yes, Doral has photo-enforced speed detection cameras in designated school zones, which became active in March 2026. Drivers who exceed the posted speed limit by more than 10 mph in an active school zone can receive a US$100 fine. Camera operation is limited to 30 minutes before school starts, during school hours, and 30 minutes after school ends.

If a fine is issued against your Thrifty rental vehicle while in Doral, the citation is typically linked to the license plate. Thrifty, as the registered owner, will receive the notice and pass the charge to you along with an administrative processing fee. These charges often appear on your credit card days or weeks after you return the vehicle.

General driving rules to follow with your Thrifty rental in Doral and the broader Miami area:

• Florida drives on the right side of the road
• Speed limits are posted in miles per hour
• There are no congestion charges or emissions zones in Doral or anywhere in Florida
• Toll roads are cashless, so plan for electronic billing as described in the tolls FAQ

Fines and traffic tickets are not covered by CDW/LDW or any rental protection, and they are not eligible for Tolls Cashback.

The standard minimum age to rent a Thrifty car in Doral without a surcharge is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent but will be charged a young-renter surcharge on top of the base rental rate. This fee is paid at the Thrifty Doral counter and is not included in your prepaid booking total.

Additional restrictions that apply to under-25 renters at the Thrifty Doral location:

• Most premium, full-size, luxury, convertible, and specialty vehicle classes are restricted to drivers 25 and older
• Economy, compact, and intermediate categories are generally available to drivers aged 21 to 24
• A valid major credit card in the renter's name is still required for the security deposit hold

Florida is not one of the states (such as New York or Michigan) that legally requires rental companies to serve drivers under 21, so the minimum age at the Thrifty Doral counter is 21 for young renters and 25 for surcharge-free rentals.

If you are between 21 and 24 and from Latin America or the Caribbean, check whether your Hola Car Rentals confirmation shows the underage fee waived, as certain Avis and Budget rates include this exception. Thrifty does not participate in that specific waiver program.

Thrifty rentals in Doral follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy by default. 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 the Doral location:

• At pickup, check the fuel gauge with the Thrifty 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 of the return location so the gauge does not drop below full before you arrive
• Keep the fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address

If you return the Thrifty vehicle in Doral 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 retail pump prices, plus a refueling service fee.

The Doral area has multiple fuel stations along major corridors such as NW 36th Street and NW 41st Street, making it straightforward to refuel close to the return address at 7930 NW 36th Street before dropping off the vehicle.

Most Hola Car Rentals bookings include travel assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection, and this benefit can be relevant if you experience a medical emergency or other covered event during your Thrifty rental in Doral or while driving in the Miami area.

Core benefits typically included are:

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

Important limitation: this coverage applies only to travelers who are not residents or citizens of the United States or Canada. If you are a US or Canadian resident renting a Thrifty car in Doral, you do not qualify for this benefit.

To use travel assistance during your Doral rental, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day at +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free) or via WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready. This coverage does not replace CDW/LDW for vehicle damage or LIS/ALI/SLI for third-party liability, which are separate protections.

When picking up your Thrifty rental in Doral, you will have the option to add or confirm insurance protections at the counter. Understanding what each covers helps you avoid paying for duplicates or leaving gaps.

The main coverage types available for Thrifty rentals in Doral are:

• CDW/LDW (Collision Damage Waiver / Loss Damage Waiver): reduces your financial liability for damage to the rental vehicle from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation states zero deductible. This does not cover damage you cause to other vehicles or people.
• LIS/SLI/ALI (Supplemental Liability Insurance): covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to third parties while driving the Thrifty vehicle in Doral or elsewhere in Florida. Some US states require minimum liability, but coverage levels vary.
• PAI (Personal Accident Insurance): covers your own injuries and those of passengers. This is separate from CDW/LDW.

Florida has no mandatory emissions zone fees or special local insurance requirements beyond standard US rental rules. Check your Hola Car Rentals confirmation to see which protections are already included in your rate before accepting add-ons at the Thrifty Doral counter.

If you return your Thrifty rental in Doral after the agreed drop-off time, a grace period of approximately 30 minutes typically applies, though this is not guaranteed at every location. If you exceed the grace period, Thrifty may charge for additional hours or an extra rental day, plus a late return fee.

To avoid unexpected charges at the Thrifty Doral location:

• Plan your return time to account for traffic on routes like NW 36th Street or the Florida Turnpike, which can be congested during peak hours near Doral
• Refuel before returning so you do not lose time at a fuel station after the scheduled drop-off
• If you know you will be late, contact Thrifty as early as possible to discuss options

If you need more time with the vehicle, you can request an extension during your rental. Changes to the drop-off time may reprice the rental based on current availability and rates at the Doral location.

Late return charges are separate from the security deposit hold and are billed directly by Thrifty. They are not covered by CDW/LDW or any Hola Car Rentals guarantee.
