Flights get delayed, events run late, and sometimes you just can’t make it back to the rental counter during regular business hours. But what happens if you need to pick up or return a rental car after hours?
At Hola Car Rentals, we help you understand late-night policies, grace periods, and possible fees — so you never face an unwelcome surprise.
After-Hours Pick-Up
Many airports have rental counters open 24/7, but smaller locations often don’t.
-
At Miami Airport (MIA), most providers accommodate late-night arrivals because of international flight schedules.
-
At Boston Logan (BOS), some providers only staff counters until midnight.
-
At off-airport sites near Atlanta (ATL), late pickups may require prior arrangements.
👉 With Hola Car Rentals, these conditions are shown before booking.
Grace Periods for Returns
Most companies allow a small grace period for late returns before charging extra.
-
Typical grace periods: 29 to 59 minutes.
-
After that, you may be charged an additional hour, or in some cases, a full day.
Examples:
-
At Orlando Airport (MCO), returns after 30 minutes are billed by the hour.
-
At Las Vegas (LAS), some providers switch directly to an extra day charge after 60 minutes.
Late Fees and Risks
-
Daily rate applied: If you’re more than an hour late, expect another full day fee.
-
Insurance void risks: If you return after hours without proper agreement, coverage may be affected.
-
Towing risks: At smaller branches, cars returned after hours might be considered abandoned.
