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

The Alamo counter at Dayton International Airport (DAY) is located inside the arrivals hall of the terminal building at 3600 Terminal Road, Vandalia, OH 45377. You do not need a shuttle or train to reach it.

Once you land and collect your bags, proceed to the arrivals hall and follow the car rental signs to the Alamo desk. From there you have two check-in options:

• Standard counter: present your documents to an agent, receive your rental agreement, and proceed to the vehicle lot.
• Touch-screen kiosk: skip the counter line, complete check-in on the kiosk, print a receipt-sized rental agreement, and head directly to your car on the lot. At the exit booth, show your agreement and driver's license to drive away.

The Alamo counter at Dayton International Airport operates daily from 07:00 to 23:59. No after-hours key box is available, so plan your arrival accordingly.

To collect your Alamo rental car in Dayton, you must bring the following physical documents:

• A valid, unexpired driver's license with a photograph, valid for the entire rental period. Digital licenses are not accepted.
• A major credit card (Visa or Mastercard are confirmed accepted at Dayton International Airport) in the main driver's name, with the name printed on the physical card, and sufficient available credit to cover the security deposit hold.
• Your passport or a 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 (Roman) alphabet, for example Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory. For licenses in other non-English scripts, an IDP is strongly recommended. The IDP is a translation only and must be carried alongside your original license.

All documents presented at the Alamo counter in Dayton must be physical originals. Digital copies will not be accepted.

Yes, there is a major toll road within driving distance of Dayton that can affect your Alamo rental: the Ohio Turnpike (I-76, I-80, I-90), a 241-mile east-west route connecting the Indiana and Pennsylvania borders and passing near Toledo, Cleveland, and Akron.

The Ohio Turnpike uses E-ZPass for electronic payment, with cash and credit or debit card options available at toll plazas. Typical 2026 rates for a passenger vehicle on the full route are approximately US$16 to US$27.75 depending on direction and payment method. E-ZPass saves roughly 33% compared to cash or card payment.

Your Alamo rental car will not come with a personal E-ZPass account. You have two main options:

• Enroll in Alamo's toll program at the Dayton counter, which charges a daily fee (typically around US$4.95 per day) plus the actual toll amounts incurred.
• Pay tolls manually through the Ohio Turnpike website before, during, or within the grace period after your trip.

If you drive through a toll without paying or enrolling, the charge will be passed to the rental company, which will then bill your credit card along with administrative fees and potential penalties.

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

This is especially useful if you drive on the Ohio Turnpike or any other toll road during your Dayton trip, as those costs can add up depending on your route.

To claim your cashback after returning your Alamo vehicle in Dayton:

• Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the car.
• Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback - Reservation [Your Confirmation Number].
• Attach your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation, the rental agreement signed at the Alamo counter, and a receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid.

The refund is issued to the same payment method used for your original booking and typically processes within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Claims submitted after 30 days will not be accepted. Note that Tolls Cashback does not mean tolls are included in your rate; you still pay tolls normally and claim reimbursement afterward.

When you pick up your Alamo rental at Dayton International Airport, the counter will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card. This is not a charge; it reduces your available credit until the hold is released after you return the vehicle.

For Alamo rentals in the United States, including Dayton, the typical hold is approximately US$300 to US$400 for standard vehicle classes. Premium or specialty vehicles may require a higher hold.

Important requirements for the deposit at the Dayton Alamo counter:

• The card must be a major credit card (Visa and Mastercard are confirmed accepted at this location).
• The card must be in the main driver's name, with the name physically printed on the card.
• Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted for the deposit hold.

After you return the car, the hold is released. Your bank or card issuer controls how quickly it appears back on your available credit, which can take up to 15 business days. Hola Car Rentals cannot determine the exact hold amount in advance; the final figure is set by the Alamo desk at Dayton.

Yes, Alamo at Dayton International Airport provides a 120-minute grace period during regular counter hours, meaning your reserved vehicle will be held for up to two hours after your scheduled pickup time.

The Alamo counter at Dayton operates daily from 07:00 to 23:59. If your flight is delayed and you will arrive within 24 hours of your original pickup time, your booking will generally be held. If the delay exceeds 24 hours, contact Hola Car Rentals support as soon as possible, as changes cannot be guaranteed.

For returns, a standard grace period of approximately 30 minutes applies. If you return your Alamo vehicle in Dayton more than 29 minutes past the agreed return time, an extra day charge may apply in addition to any other applicable fees.

No after-hours key box is available at the Dayton Alamo location, so if you anticipate returning after 23:59, clarify drop-off instructions directly with the Alamo agent at the time of pickup.

Dayton operates one of the most extensive automated speed and red-light camera networks in Ohio, and it can catch visitors off guard. Understanding the local enforcement rules before driving your Alamo rental in Dayton can help you avoid unexpected fines.

• There are 14 fixed camera sites in Dayton, with 11 located specifically in school zones, plus additional mobile trailer cameras that rotate through various locations.
• Cameras operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, without on-site officers. This is permitted under Ohio court rulings allowing unmanned enforcement.
• School zones are commonly set at 20 mph and are actively enforced even outside typical school hours. Locations include areas on Hoover Avenue, Salem Avenue, and Wayne Avenue, among others.
• Fixed intersection cameras are active at locations such as West Third Street at James H. McGee Boulevard and Linden Avenue at Smithville Road.
• Fines start at US$85 and can increase with penalties.

Traffic fines incurred during your Alamo rental in Dayton are your responsibility and are not covered by any rental insurance or Hola Car Rentals benefits. If a fine is issued to the rental company, it will be passed to your credit card along with an administrative processing fee.

Most bookings made through Hola Car Rentals, including Alamo rentals in Dayton, include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection. This benefit is particularly relevant if you experience a medical emergency or accident while driving in the Dayton area or on nearby highways such as I-75 or the Ohio Turnpike.

Core benefits typically included are:

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

To reach assistance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, call +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free or collect), or contact via WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001, or email [email protected]. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call.

Important: this travel assistance benefit does not apply to customers who are residents of the United States or Canada. It also does not cover damage to the Alamo rental vehicle itself (that is handled by CDW/LDW) or third-party liability (covered by LIS/SLI). Check your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your reservation.

Yes, Alamo offers one-way rentals that allow you to pick up in Dayton and return the vehicle at a different location. However, a drop-off fee may apply depending on your chosen return destination.

Here is what to expect:

• The drop-off fee is route-specific and varies by distance, vehicle class, and season. It is set by Alamo and cannot be prepaid through Hola Car Rentals.
• When booking, the fee will appear under the "To pay at destination" section on the rate details page if it applies to your route.
• Some routes between nearby cities or airports may not carry a drop-off fee; others, particularly long-distance or cross-state routes, typically do.
• Cross-border one-way rentals (for example, returning in Canada) may be restricted or carry significantly higher fees. Confirm availability when booking.

If you change your return location after picking up your Alamo vehicle in Dayton, the fee may be recalculated and a higher charge could apply. Always confirm the drop-off fee shown on your booking confirmation matches what the Alamo agent presents at the counter. If there is a discrepancy, keep all paperwork and contact Hola Car Rentals support.

Alamo rentals at Dayton International Airport follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.

To avoid fuel fees on your Dayton Alamo rental:

• At pickup, check the fuel gauge with the agent and confirm the starting level is recorded as full on the rental agreement. Take a photo of the dashboard showing the gauge and odometer.
• During your rental, use the correct fuel type as specified in the vehicle documentation.
• Before returning, refuel within approximately 10 miles of Dayton International Airport so the gauge does not drop below full before you arrive. Keep your fuel receipt as proof.
• At return, show the gauge at full and present your receipt if asked.

If you return the Alamo vehicle in Dayton 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. Ask the Alamo agent at the Dayton counter about the nearest fuel station to the return lot when you pick up the car.

Yes, drivers under 25 years old renting from Alamo in Dayton are subject to a young-driver surcharge. The minimum age to rent without a surcharge is 25.

For Alamo rentals in Dayton, the young-driver fee is US$15 per day plus applicable taxes, charged at the counter. Drivers aged 21 to 24 are eligible to rent but will pay this daily surcharge in addition to the base rental rate.

Additional restrictions that apply to under-25 renters at the Dayton Alamo location:

• Certain vehicle classes are restricted to renters aged 25 and over, including full-size, premium, luxury, SUV, minivan, and convertible categories. Economy, compact, and intermediate vehicles are generally available.
• A major credit card in the main driver's name is still required for the security deposit hold.
• All standard document requirements apply, including a valid driver's license and, if applicable, an International Driving Permit.

Ohio does not have a state law requiring rentals to drivers under 21, so the minimum age at the Dayton Alamo counter is 21 for young renters. Drivers under 21 are not eligible to rent.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Alamo rental in Dayton, either at no cost if your rate includes it, or for a daily fee paid at the counter.

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

To add an additional driver at the Dayton Alamo counter:

• The additional driver must be physically present at pickup.
• They must present a valid driver's license (and an International Driving Permit if their license uses a non-Latin alphabet).
• They must meet the minimum age requirements. Drivers aged 21 to 24 may incur a young-driver surcharge.
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement.
• Verify the additional driver's name appears on your printed contract before leaving the Dayton Alamo counter.

Only drivers listed on the rental agreement are covered by protections such as CDW/LDW and liability coverage. Anyone not named on the contract who drives the vehicle may void those protections entirely.

When picking up your Alamo rental in Dayton, you will have the option to add or confirm insurance coverages at the counter. Understanding what each covers helps you avoid paying for protection you already have or leaving yourself exposed.

The main coverage types available for Alamo rentals in Dayton are:

• Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): reduces your financial liability for damage to the Alamo rental vehicle caused by a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation states zero. This does not cover damage to other vehicles or injuries to other people.
• Third-Party Liability (LIS/SLI/ALI): covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving the Alamo vehicle in Dayton. Some U.S. states require a minimum level of liability; confirm whether Ohio's requirements are met by your rate.

Check your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation before arriving at the Dayton Alamo counter to see which coverages are already included in your rate. If CDW/LDW is listed, confirm the deductible amount on the rental agreement at pickup. Declining coverage at the counter is your choice, but ensure you have an alternative source of protection such as a personal auto policy or credit card benefit before doing so.
