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

Alamo operates exclusively at airport locations in Alabama. There are no downtown or off-airport counters in the state. The four airports served are:

• Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport (BHM), 5900 Messer Airport Hwy, Birmingham, AL 35212
• Gulf Shores International Airport (GUF), Gulf Shores, AL
• Huntsville International Airport (HSV), Huntsville, AL
• Mobile Regional Airport (MOB), 8400 Airport Blvd, Mobile, AL 36608

At each Alabama airport, follow the car rental signs from baggage claim to reach the Alamo counter. At Mobile Regional Airport specifically, proceed to baggage claim first, then continue to the rental counter area where the Alamo desk is located. If you arrive after hours, a key dropbox is available near the rental counter inside the airport. Confirm the box is labeled for Alamo before dropping your keys.

To collect your Alamo rental in Alabama, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:

• A valid, original driver's license (not a digital copy)
• A major credit card with your name printed on the card, in the main driver's name, 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 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 license. For licenses in English or Latin script, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required. Obtain your IDP in your home country before traveling, as it cannot be issued abroad.

All documents must be physical originals. Alamo Alabama counters do not accept digital versions shown on a phone or tablet.

At Mobile Regional Airport (MOB) in Alabama, the Alamo pickup process works as follows:

• After landing, follow signs to baggage claim and collect your luggage
• Proceed to the Alamo rental counter, located in the terminal near the baggage claim area at 8400 Airport Blvd, Mobile, AL 36608
• Present your driver's license, credit card, passport, and booking confirmation to the agent
• Review and sign the rental agreement, noting the fuel level and any pre-existing damage on the vehicle

Alamo offers an Accelerated Check-in option that you can complete online before arrival to save time at the Mobile counter. A Skip the Counter option is also available: activate it online in advance, print your rental agreement, and proceed directly to your vehicle in the lot, showing your driver's license at the exit booth. Note that kiosk check-in is not available at MOB. Similar online check-in options apply at other Alabama Alamo locations such as BHM, though specific procedures may vary by site.

Yes, Alabama has several toll roads that you may encounter during your Alamo rental, and it is important to understand how they work before you drive.

Alabama operates its toll system through the Alabama Freedom Pass. The main toll roads and their standard rates for a 2-axle vehicle are:

• Montgomery Expressway Bridge (Alabama River Parkway): US$1.50
• Tuscaloosa Bypass (Joe Mallisham Parkway): US$1.50
• Emerald Mountain Expressway (Dozier Road): US$1.75
• Foley Beach Express Toll Bridge (BEX): US$2.75

Unlike many other U.S. states, Alabama toll booths currently accept cash, credit cards, and the Alabama Freedom Pass transponder, so cashless-only roads are not a universal concern here.

Your Alamo rental vehicle in Alabama will include an electronic toll device. At the counter, you can choose to enroll in an unlimited toll program (typically US$11 to US$25 per day depending on the partner and location) or pay per use. If you opt out, Alamo will charge each toll incurred plus an administrative processing fee to your credit card after the rental ends. Toll charges can appear on your statement days or even weeks after you return the vehicle.

When you pick up your Alamo rental in Alabama, the counter will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card. This is not a charge; it reduces your available credit until the rental is closed and your bank releases the hold.

For standard vehicles at U.S. locations, including Alabama airports such as BHM, MOB, HSV, and GUF, the typical hold is approximately US$300 to US$400. Premium or specialty vehicle classes may carry a higher hold amount. The exact figure is set by the Alamo desk at the time of pickup and can vary by location, season, and vehicle class.

Important requirements for the deposit at any Alabama Alamo counter:

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

After you return the vehicle, Alamo releases the hold, but your bank controls when it reappears in your available balance, which can take up to 15 business days.

Yes, all Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Alamo rentals in Alabama, include Tolls Cashback of up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your rental period.

Alabama has several toll roads you may use, such as the Foley Beach Express Toll Bridge (US$2.75) and the Tuscaloosa Bypass (US$1.50). Any tolls you pay on these or other Alabama roads during your Alamo rental are eligible for the cashback claim.

To claim your Tolls Cashback after returning your Alabama Alamo vehicle:

• Email [email protected] within 30 days of vehicle return
• Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback - Reservation {Your Confirmation Number}
• Attach your Hola Car Rentals confirmation, the signed rental agreement, and a receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid
• Include your full name, travel dates, and the last 4 digits of the card used for the booking

Refunds are issued to your original payment method and typically process within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Claims submitted after 30 days are not accepted.

Yes, drivers under 25 years old are subject to a young-renter surcharge when picking up an Alamo rental in Alabama. The minimum age to rent with Alamo in Alabama is generally 21, and drivers aged 21 to 24 pay an additional daily fee on top of the base rental rate.

For Alamo, National, and Enterprise, the additional driver fee structure for under-25 renters is US$15 per day plus applicable taxes, paid at the counter. This surcharge applies in Alabama as it does across most U.S. states.

Additional restrictions that apply to under-25 renters at Alabama Alamo locations:

• Many vehicle classes are restricted to drivers 25 and older, including full-size, SUV, minivan, luxury, premium, and convertible categories
• Eligible classes for younger renters are typically economy, compact, and intermediate vehicles
• The young-renter surcharge disappears once the main driver turns 25

If you are unsure whether your chosen vehicle class is available for your age at a specific Alabama airport, review your booking confirmation carefully or contact customer support before pickup.

The insurance coverage included in your Alamo rental in Alabama depends on the rate plan you selected when booking through Hola Car Rentals. It is important to review your confirmation carefully before pickup.

The two main types of coverage relevant to an Alabama Alamo rental are:

• Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): reduces your financial liability for damage to the rental vehicle itself, subject to any deductible shown on your confirmation. It 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. Some U.S. states require a minimum level of liability; confirm whether it is included or optional on your Alabama Alamo booking.

CDW/LDW does not cover tires, undercarriage, roof, or personal belongings. Only drivers named on the Alamo rental agreement in Alabama are covered by these protections. If you plan to share driving duties, add every additional driver at the counter and ensure they sign the agreement.

At the Alamo counter in Alabama, decline any optional add-ons you do not need and verify that the agreement matches your booking confirmation before signing.

Most Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Alamo rentals in Alabama, 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 Alabama, including on more remote stretches of highway between cities like Huntsville, Mobile, or Birmingham.

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

This benefit does not cover damage to the Alamo rental vehicle (that is CDW/LDW) or liability to third parties (that is LIS/ALI/SLI). Pre-existing medical conditions are also excluded.

Important: this travel assistance coverage applies only to non-North American customers. Residents of the United States and Canada do not qualify for this benefit.

If you need assistance during your Alabama Alamo rental, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day, 7 days a week: call +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free) or reach them via WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call.

Alamo rentals in Alabama follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy by default. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.

Steps to follow for a smooth fuel return at any Alabama Alamo location:

• 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 of the return airport (BHM, MOB, HSV, or GUF) so the gauge does not drop before you arrive
• 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 Alamo vehicle in Alabama with less fuel than recorded at pickup, you may be charged for the shortfall at the partner's refueling rate, which is typically higher than the pump price, plus an administrative service fee. The Full-to-Full policy applies to gasoline and diesel vehicles; electric vehicles follow a separate charging policy.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Alamo rental in Alabama, either as part of your rate or for a fee paid at the counter.

For Alamo, National, and Enterprise rentals in Alabama, the additional driver fee is US$15 per day plus applicable taxes when it is not already included in your rate. Check your booking confirmation for the line "Additional driver free of charge" to see whether it is covered.

Requirements for adding a driver at any Alabama Alamo counter:

• The additional driver must be physically present at pickup
• They must present a valid driver's license (and an IDP if their license uses a non-Latin alphabet)
• They must meet the minimum age requirement; drivers aged 21 to 24 may incur a young-renter surcharge
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement

Only drivers listed on the Alamo rental agreement in Alabama are covered by the vehicle's insurance protections. If someone drives who is not named on the contract, coverage may be void and additional charges could apply. If you need to add a driver after pickup, visit an Alamo branch in Alabama to update the agreement.

Yes, after-hours vehicle returns are supported at Alamo locations across Alabama, including Birmingham-Shuttlesworth (BHM), Mobile Regional (MOB), Huntsville International (HSV), and Gulf Shores International (GUF).

To return your Alamo rental in Alabama outside of counter hours:

• Park the vehicle in the designated Alamo return area as indicated by signage at the airport
• At Mobile Regional Airport, the key dropbox is located inside the terminal near the rental counter; confirm it is labeled for Alamo before depositing your keys
• Place your fuel receipt inside the key envelope if applicable
• Take a photo of the odometer, fuel gauge, and the vehicle's exterior before leaving
• Keep a copy of your rental agreement and any receipts

Be aware that when you drop keys after hours, the Alamo agent will inspect the vehicle the next business day. Any damage discovered after you leave may still be attributed to your rental period, so documenting the vehicle's condition with photos at return is strongly recommended. Review your booking confirmation for any specific after-hours instructions provided for your Alabama pickup location.

Yes, one-way rentals are possible with Alamo in Alabama, allowing you to pick up at one airport and return at a different Alabama airport, such as picking up at Birmingham-Shuttlesworth (BHM) and returning at Mobile Regional (MOB).

A drop-off fee may apply depending on the specific route, vehicle class, and dates selected. This fee is set by Alamo and varies by distance and demand. When booking through Hola Car Rentals, any applicable drop-off fee will be shown on the rate details page under the "To pay at destination" section before you confirm. It is not prepaid and will be collected at the Alabama Alamo counter at pickup.

Key points to keep in mind for one-way Alamo rentals within Alabama:

• Not all routes between Alabama airports carry a drop-off fee; shorter routes may have no fee at all
• Premium and large vehicle classes may carry higher repositioning fees
• Changing your return location after booking may reprice the rental and recalculate the drop-off fee
• Cross-border one-way rentals (for example, Alabama to another U.S. state) are generally permitted but may carry additional fees; confirm on your booking confirmation

If the Alamo counter in Alabama charges a drop-off fee that was not disclosed on your confirmation, keep all paperwork and contact support after the rental.
