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

When picking up your Alamo rental car at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI), follow the signs to baggage claim, then exit to the shuttle bus pickup area. A free shuttle will take you to the off-airport Alamo facility at 7434 New Ridge Rd, Hanover, MD 21076. The rental car center is not within walking distance of the terminal.

Once at the Alamo facility in Baltimore, you have two options:

• Visit the Alamo counter to complete your rental agreement and collect your keys.
• Use the Alamo touch-screen kiosk to check in, print a receipt-sized agreement, and proceed directly to your vehicle on the lot. Show the agreement and your license at the exit booth.

For after-hours pickup, follow the specific instructions included in your booking confirmation. For after-hours returns, park as directed and drop your keys in the designated dropbox at the Baltimore facility.

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

• A valid, original driver's license (not digital, not a photocopy) with a photo.
• A passport or valid government-issued photo ID.
• A physical major credit card (Visa, Mastercard, or American Express) in the main driver's name, with the name printed on the card, for the security deposit hold.
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher.
• Return flight or cruise tickets (required for visitors from outside the United States).

If your driver's license is not written in the Latin (Roman) alphabet, for example Arabic, Japanese, or Cyrillic script, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory at the Alamo counter in Baltimore. The IDP must accompany your original license and is not valid on its own.

Virtual cards, digital wallets such as Google Pay or Apple Pay, and prepaid cards are not accepted for the deposit. All documents must be physical originals.

It depends on your license. At the Alamo counter in Baltimore, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is required if your driver's license uses a non-Latin alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script. In that case, you must carry both your original license and the IDP together.

If your license is written in Latin characters but in a non-English language, for example German or Spanish, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required at the Baltimore Alamo location.

Keep in mind that the IDP is a translation document only. It is not a standalone license and will not be accepted without your original license. If you think you may need one, obtain it in your home country before traveling, as it cannot be issued to non-residents once you are in the United States.

All documents presented at the Alamo counter in Baltimore must be physical originals. Digital versions are not accepted.

Maryland operates a primarily cashless toll network, and driving from the Baltimore area with your Alamo rental means you are likely to encounter several tolled facilities. The most common ones include:

• Fort McHenry Tunnel (I-95): US$3 to US$6 for standard vehicles.
• Baltimore Harbor Thruway Tunnel (I-895): US$3 to US$6.
• John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway (I-95 north): US$6 to US$12.
• Governor Harry W. Nice Memorial Bridge (US-301): US$4.50 to US$9.
• William Preston Lane Jr. Memorial (Bay) Bridge: US$2.50 with E-ZPass.
• Intercounty Connector (MD 200): US$0.07 to US$0.35 per mile.

Maryland uses E-ZPass as its primary electronic toll system. If you do not enroll in a toll program, cameras capture your Alamo vehicle's license plate and you receive a mailed invoice. Unpaid tolls can result in civil penalties and vehicle registration suspension.

At the Alamo counter in Baltimore, you can opt into a transponder program (approximately US$4.95 per day plus actual tolls). Alternatively, all bookings include Tolls Cashback, which lets you recover up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your rental.

Yes, you can get cashback on tolls paid during your Alamo rental in Baltimore. All bookings include Tolls Cashback, which reimburses up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls you pay during the rental period.

Here is how it works:

• You still pay tolls normally, either through the Alamo transponder program at the counter or via Maryland's Pay-by-Plate system.
• After returning your Alamo vehicle in Baltimore, email [email protected] within 30 days.
• Include your reservation confirmation, the signed rental agreement, and a receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid.
• Refunds are issued to your original payment method within 7 to 10 business days after approval.

Example: If your booking total is US$500, the cashback cap is US$25. If you paid US$18 in tolls on Baltimore-area roads such as the Fort McHenry Tunnel or the Bay Bridge, you receive US$18 back. If you paid US$40, you receive US$25 (the cap).

Note that Maryland has no congestion charges or emissions zones, so toll roads are the only road-use fees to plan for when driving your Alamo rental around Baltimore.

Yes, a physical major credit card in the main driver's name is required to pick up your Alamo rental in Baltimore. The card must have the driver's name printed on it and must have sufficient available credit to cover the security deposit hold.

At the Alamo counter in Baltimore, the following are not accepted for the deposit:

• Debit cards or prepaid cards.
• Virtual cards or digital wallets such as Google Pay or Apple Pay.
• Cards in another person's name.

The typical security deposit hold for a standard vehicle at a U.S. Alamo location is approximately US$300 to US$400. This is a temporary authorization, not a charge, and is released after you return the vehicle. Your bank controls how quickly the hold disappears, which can take up to 15 business days.

Even if you prepaid your Baltimore Alamo booking in full, you must still present a physical credit card at the counter for the deposit hold. Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined.

Yes, a young driver surcharge applies to drivers under 25 at the Alamo counter in Baltimore. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent but will pay an additional daily fee at the counter on top of the base rental rate.

For Alamo in Baltimore, the young driver fee is US$15 per day plus applicable taxes. This fee is paid directly at the counter and is not included in your prepaid booking total.

Additional restrictions to keep in mind:

• Certain vehicle classes, including full-size SUVs, premium, luxury, minivans, and convertibles, are typically restricted to drivers aged 25 and older.
• The minimum age to rent at most Alamo locations in the United States, including Baltimore, is 21.
• The young driver surcharge disappears once the main driver turns 25.

If you are adding a driver under 25 to your Baltimore Alamo reservation, they must be present at pickup with a valid license and will also be subject to the surcharge and class restrictions.

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

For Alamo in Baltimore, the additional driver fee is US$15 per day plus taxes when not included in your rate. Check your booking confirmation for the line that reads "Additional driver free of charge" to see if it is already covered.

To add a driver at the Alamo counter in Baltimore:

• The additional driver must be present at pickup with their valid, physical driver's license.
• If their license uses a non-Latin alphabet, they must also bring an International Driving Permit.
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement.
• The additional driver must meet the minimum age requirements. Drivers under 25 may be subject to the young driver surcharge.

Only drivers listed on the Alamo rental agreement in Baltimore are covered by the vehicle's protections, including CDW/LDW. If someone not named on the contract drives the vehicle, coverage may be void. You cannot add a driver by phone or chat after pickup; visit the Alamo branch to update the agreement.

When picking up your Alamo rental at Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI), expect several fees and taxes on top of your base rate. These are charged at the counter and are separate from your prepaid booking total unless your confirmation states they are included.

Typical charges at the BWI Alamo location include:

• Airport concession recovery fee: typically 10% to 12% of the base rate.
• Customer facility charge (CFC): approximately US$4.50 to US$6.00 per day.
• Maryland state sales tax: 6%.
• Maryland vehicle rental tax: 2%.
• Baltimore City vehicle rental tax: varies between 7% and 11% depending on the rental structure.

These fees are standard for airport Alamo locations in Baltimore and reflect the cost of operating within the BWI rental car facility. Always review the "To pay at destination" section of your booking confirmation to understand which fees are due locally versus already included in your prepaid rate.

If you are charged for a fee that was listed as included in your confirmation, keep all paperwork and contact support after the rental is complete.

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

To avoid extra costs on your Baltimore Alamo rental:

• Check the fuel gauge with the agent at pickup and confirm the starting level is recorded on the rental agreement.
• Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and fuel gauge at pickup.
• Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the Alamo return facility at 7434 New Ridge Rd, Hanover, MD, before returning the vehicle.
• Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address.

If you return the Alamo vehicle in Baltimore 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 an administrative service fee.

If the vehicle was not full at pickup, ask the Alamo agent to record the exact starting level on the agreement. Return it at that same level to avoid charges.

Driving your Alamo rental in Baltimore involves some road layouts that can surprise first-time visitors, particularly those used to more straightforward highway grids.

Key things to be aware of:

• Baltimore's interstate system has several orphaned spurs. I-395 and the former I-170 (now US 40) terminate abruptly without connecting to I-83 or I-95, funneling traffic onto urban boulevards like Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd rather than seamless freeway ramps.
• The city has extensive one-way street pairs carrying US 40 through the urban core. These can be disorienting where one-way streets feed into two-way streets without clear signage.
• Event-driven road changes around M&T Bank Stadium and CFG Arena are significant. On game days, Warner Street switches to one-way, and nearby streets including Alluvion, Worcester, and Bayard Streets follow special patterns. The Hamburg Street Bridge and Ostend Street Bridge may close intermittently.
• GPS is strongly recommended for navigating your Alamo rental in Baltimore, as the unlinked highway spurs and frequent one-way changes are difficult to anticipate without local knowledge.

Maryland has no congestion charges or emissions zones, so there are no city-center driving fees beyond standard tolls.

The coverage included in your Alamo rental in Baltimore depends on the rate plan selected at booking. Here is how the main protections work:

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) reduces your financial liability for damage to the Alamo vehicle from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation explicitly states zero deductible. CDW/LDW does not cover damage to other vehicles or injuries to other people.

Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI) covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving your Alamo rental in Baltimore. Some U.S. states require a minimum level of liability, but coverage levels vary. Adding supplemental liability up to US$300,000 is strongly recommended.

Common exclusions to be aware of:

• Tires, wheels, undercarriage, and roof damage are often excluded from CDW/LDW.
• Prohibited use such as off-road driving, DUI, or unauthorized drivers voids coverage.
• Only drivers named on the Alamo rental agreement in Baltimore are covered.

Review your booking confirmation carefully to confirm which protections are included in your specific rate before arriving at the Baltimore Alamo counter.
