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

Picking up your Alamo rental at Edmonton International Airport (YEG) is straightforward and requires no shuttle. After collecting your luggage, exit the terminal at door 8, cross the street, and walk directly to the parkade (multi-storey car park) on the lower/ground level. The Alamo counter is located there, where you will sign your rental agreement and collect your keys.

The Alamo counter at Edmonton Airport operates daily in two windows: 00:00 to 01:00 and 07:30 to 23:59. If your flight arrives outside these hours, plan accordingly, as no after-hours pickup service is specified for this location.

Before leaving the counter, confirm the fuel level recorded on your agreement matches the gauge, take a photo of the dashboard, and ask the agent about the nearest fuel station to the return location.

No, there are no toll roads anywhere in Alberta, so driving your Alamo rental in and around Edmonton will not generate any toll charges. Alberta is entirely toll-free, meaning there are no transponders, cashless toll lanes, congestion charges, or emissions zones to worry about, unlike many other North American destinations.

There are also no toll programs to enroll in and no daily toll-pass fees to consider at the Alamo counter in Edmonton. Recent government infrastructure announcements for the province, including major highway expansions around Edmonton, confirm that no tolls are being introduced.

If your trip takes you beyond Alberta into provinces that do have toll roads, the Hola Car Rentals Tolls Cashback benefit can reimburse you up to 5% of your total booking value for any tolls paid during the rental period. Keep your toll receipts and submit your claim within 30 days of returning the vehicle.

When collecting your Alamo rental in Edmonton, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:

• Your original, unexpired driver's license in the main driver's name
• A major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card, used for the security deposit hold
• A valid passport or government-issued photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets (required for visitors from outside Canada)

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 using a Latin alphabet, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required at the Alamo counter in Edmonton.

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.

When you pick up your Alamo rental in Edmonton, the counter will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card. For rentals in Canada, this hold is typically in the range of CAUS$ 300 to CAUS$ 500, though some locations may require a minimum authorization of approximately CAUS$ 750 depending on the vehicle class and specific location policies.

This hold is not a charge. It temporarily reduces your available credit and is released after you return the vehicle. Your bank or card issuer controls how quickly the hold disappears from your statement, which can take up to 15 business days after the rental closes.

• Only a major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card is accepted for the deposit
• Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted
• Bring a backup credit card in case your primary card is declined
• Notify your bank of your travel plans to prevent fraud blocks on the authorization

The exact hold amount at the Alamo Edmonton counter is set by Alamo and local policy, so confirm the figure with the agent before the card is swiped.

Yes, all Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Alamo rentals in Edmonton, include the Tolls Cashback benefit. Because Alberta has no toll roads, you will not encounter any tolls while driving around Edmonton itself. However, if your trip takes you into other provinces where toll roads exist, this benefit can reimburse you for those costs.

Hola Car Rentals will refund the lesser of the total tolls you paid or up to 5% of your total booking value. For example, if your Alamo booking total is US$500, the maximum cashback is US$25.

To claim your Tolls Cashback after returning your Alamo vehicle in Edmonton or elsewhere:

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

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

Edmonton has several road features that can catch first-time visitors off guard, even if you are comfortable driving in other North American cities.

• The Valley Line West LRT runs along the middle of roads such as Stony Plain Road, reducing multi-lane streets to single lanes and banning left turns across the tracks. Navigation at these intersections relies on right-in, right-out movements, with left turns only permitted at designated signalized crossings.
• Anthony Henday Drive (Highway 216) encircles Edmonton and uses a mix of partial cloverleaf and semi-directional flyover interchanges. The interchange at Calgary Trail and Gateway is a three-level stack, which can be disorienting if you are used to simpler ring roads.
• Yellowhead Trail has been converted to a freeway with grade-separated interchanges, but some crossings have been removed. Traffic that previously crossed at certain intersections is now rerouted to distant overpasses, which can create unexpected dead ends for north-south travel.

Canada drives on the right side of the road, the same as the United States. When driving your Alamo rental in Edmonton, follow posted speed limits, which are shown in kilometres per hour, and yield to LRT trains at all signalized crossings.

Alamo rentals at Edmonton 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.

At pickup, check the fuel gauge with the Alamo agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on your rental agreement. Take a photo of the dashboard showing both the odometer and the fuel gauge before leaving the Edmonton Airport parkade.

When returning your Alamo vehicle, refuel within approximately 10 to 15 kilometres of the return location so the gauge does not drop below full during the drive back. Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address.

• If you return the car below the recorded starting level, Alamo may charge for the fuel shortfall at their refueling rate, which is typically higher than the pump price, plus a service fee
• Use the correct fuel type as specified in the vehicle documentation; wrong-fuel incidents are not covered by the fuel policy
• For after-hours returns at Edmonton Airport, leave the receipt in the return envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge on your phone

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

For Alamo rentals in Edmonton, the additional driver fee is US$15 per day plus applicable taxes when not included in your rate. Check your booking confirmation before arriving at the Edmonton Airport counter, as some Hola Car Rentals rates include one additional driver at no extra cost.

Requirements for adding a driver at the Alamo counter in Edmonton:

• The additional driver must be present at pickup and show a valid, original driver's license
• If their license uses a non-Latin alphabet (Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Cyrillic), an International Driving Permit is also required
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement
• The additional driver must meet the minimum age requirements for the rental location

Only drivers listed on the Alamo rental agreement are covered by the vehicle's protections, including CDW/LDW and liability coverage. Anyone who drives the car without being named on the contract may void those protections.

When you book an Alamo rental in Edmonton through Hola Car Rentals, the coverage included depends on the rate plan you select. It is important to review your booking confirmation carefully before arriving at the Edmonton Airport counter.

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

For third-party liability in Canada, provincial law requires every vehicle to carry third-party liability coverage. This statutory liability is included by default when you rent in Canada through Hola Car Rentals. You can still purchase higher supplemental liability limits at the Alamo counter in Edmonton if you want additional protection.

• CDW/LDW covers the rental vehicle only, not third parties
• Personal injuries to you or your passengers require separate Personal Accident Insurance (PAI)
• Personal belongings are not covered by CDW/LDW or liability insurance
• Only drivers named on the Alamo agreement are covered

Most Hola Car Rentals bookings include travel assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection, and this applies to Alamo rentals booked for Edmonton. However, this benefit is available only to customers who are not residents of Canada or the United States. Canadian and American residents do not qualify for this coverage.

If you are eligible, the travel assistance included with your Alamo Edmonton booking typically covers:

• 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

If you experience a medical emergency or accident while driving your Alamo rental in Edmonton or on Alberta highways, contact Terrawind's 24-hour assistance line before incurring expenses, as some reimbursements require prior authorization:

• Phone: +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free)
• WhatsApp: +1 208 910 1001
• Email: [email protected]

Check your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation for the exact coverage limits and terms applicable to your reservation.

Yes, one-way rentals are possible with Alamo, including pickups at Edmonton International Airport with a return to a different location. However, a drop-off fee may apply depending on the route, vehicle class, and availability.

When searching for your Alamo rental on the Hola Car Rentals website, select a different return location and the system will calculate whether a drop-off fee applies for your specific route. If a fee is due, it will appear under the "To pay at destination" section during checkout and on your booking confirmation.

• Same-city routes, such as Edmonton Airport to downtown Edmonton, often carry no drop-off fee
• Routes between different cities or provinces typically incur a drop-off fee that varies by distance and vehicle class
• Cross-border one-way rentals (for example, Edmonton to a US city) may be restricted or carry higher fees; confirm with Alamo at the counter

The drop-off fee cannot be prepaid and is settled at the Alamo counter at the time of pickup. If the fee charged at the Edmonton counter differs from what your confirmation shows, keep all paperwork and contact Hola Car Rentals support after the rental ends.

The Alamo counter at Edmonton International Airport (YEG) operates in two daily windows: 00:00 to 01:00 and 07:30 to 23:59, every day of the week. This means the counter is closed between approximately 01:00 and 07:30 each morning.

If your flight arrives during the closed window, you will need to wait until 07:30 for the Alamo counter to reopen. No after-hours pickup or key-drop arrangements are specified for this location, so it is important to plan your arrival time accordingly.

For flight delays of less than 24 hours from your original pickup time, Alamo will hold your reservation. If your delay is expected to exceed 24 hours, contact Hola Car Rentals as soon as possible via WhatsApp at +1 (786) 999-8312 or by email at [email protected] to discuss your options.

The Alamo counter is located in the parkade on the lower/ground level, reached by exiting the Edmonton Airport terminal at door 8 and crossing the street on foot. No shuttle is required.

An International Driving Permit (IDP) is not always mandatory for renting from Alamo in Edmonton, but whether you need one depends on your license.

• If your driver's license uses a non-Latin alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script, an IDP is mandatory at the Alamo counter in Edmonton. You must carry both the IDP and your original license together.
• If your license is in English or uses a Latin alphabet, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required for the Alamo pickup in Edmonton.
• Visitors from the United States and other English-speaking countries can generally drive in Canada on their valid foreign license without an IDP.

An IDP is a translation document only and is not a standalone license. It is invalid without your original license. You must obtain your IDP in your home country before traveling, as it cannot be issued abroad.

All documents presented at the Alamo counter in Edmonton must be physical originals. Digital copies are not accepted. If you are unsure whether your license requires an IDP for your Alamo rental, obtain one before departing for Edmonton to avoid any issues at the counter.
