Will I face unexpected charges at the Alamo counter in Fort Lauderdale when I book through Hola Car Rentals?
No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Alamo booking in Fort Lauderdale 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 Fort Lauderdale 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)
Where is the Alamo counter at Fort Lauderdale Airport (FLL)?
The Alamo counter at Fort Lauderdale Airport (FLL) is located inside the Rental Car Center (RCC), which sits adjacent to Terminal 1.
- From Terminal 1: after collecting your bags, go to Level 2 and cross the Concourse B pedestrian bridge directly into the RCC. The walk takes approximately 5 minutes.
- From Terminals 2, 3, or 4: head to the lower level curb and board the free RCC shuttle. Shuttles run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, typically every 10 minutes. Total door-to-counter time is roughly 10 to 15 minutes.
Once inside the RCC, follow signage to the Alamo desk. Bring your booking confirmation, a physical major credit card in the main driver's name, your driver's license, and your passport or government-issued photo ID.
What documents do I need to pick up my Alamo rental car in Fort Lauderdale?
To pick up your Alamo rental car in Fort Lauderdale, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:
- A valid, original driver's license (not a digital copy)
- A physical major credit card in the main driver's name, with the driver's name printed on the card, 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 (required for visitors from outside the United States)
If your driver's license uses a non-Latin alphabet, such as 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 must be physical. Digital versions shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted at the Alamo counter in Fort Lauderdale.
Do I need a credit card to pick up my Alamo car in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes, a physical major credit card is required to pick up your Alamo car in Fort Lauderdale.
The Alamo counter in Fort Lauderdale will place a temporary security hold on your card at pickup. For standard vehicles in the United States, this hold is typically around US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount depends on the vehicle class and location.
- The card must be in the main driver's name, with the driver's name printed on the card
- Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual or single-use card numbers are not accepted for the deposit
- Digital wallets such as Apple Pay or Google Pay are not accepted for the hold
- Even if you prepaid your booking, a physical credit card is still required at the Alamo counter
The hold is released after you return the vehicle. Your bank controls how quickly the funds become available again, which can take up to 15 business days. Bringing a backup credit card is a good precaution in case your primary card is declined.
How do tolls work when renting an Alamo car in Fort Lauderdale?
Almost all toll roads in and around Fort Lauderdale are cashless, meaning they use electronic transponders or plate-based billing rather than cash booths. Your Alamo rental vehicle in Fort Lauderdale will already include an electronic toll device or a plate-based billing system.
At the Alamo counter in Fort Lauderdale, you will typically have two options:
- Unlimited toll package: a fixed daily rate of approximately US$11 to US$15 per day, covering all tolls during your rental period
- Pay per use: if you decline the package, Alamo will charge you the actual toll amount plus daily or administrative processing fees each time you use a toll road
Florida's toll network uses SunPass and E-PASS transponders, and many expressways around Fort Lauderdale, including the Florida Turnpike and I-95 Express lanes, operate exclusively with cashless gantries. If you drive through a toll without enrolling in a program, the system photographs your license plate and bills Alamo as the registered owner, who then passes the charge to you with added fees.
You may also purchase your own visitor toll pass. If you do, inform the Alamo agent at pickup in Fort Lauderdale so they can deactivate the vehicle's default device and prevent duplicate charges. Note that toll charges can appear on your card days or even weeks after your rental ends.
What are the typical toll costs on Fort Lauderdale roads with an Alamo rental?
Toll costs for an Alamo rental in the Fort Lauderdale and South Florida area vary depending on which roads you use and how often.
- Fort Lauderdale and Miami area: approximately US$5 to US$20 per day, depending on your route. Common toll roads include the Florida Turnpike and I-95 Express lanes
- Orlando day trip from Fort Lauderdale: a one-way drive can cost approximately US$15 to US$30 in tolls, primarily on the Florida Turnpike
- Tampa area: approximately US$3 to US$10 per day if your Alamo trip takes you west
These are estimates only. Actual charges depend on the specific roads you travel and the toll billing method your Alamo vehicle uses.
If you plan to use toll roads frequently during your Fort Lauderdale rental, the unlimited toll package offered by Alamo at pickup may be more cost-effective than paying per use, especially when you factor in the administrative fees added to each individual toll transaction.
Can I get cashback on tolls paid during my Alamo rental in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes, all bookings include Tolls Cashback, which lets you recover up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your Alamo rental in Fort Lauderdale.
Given that Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding South Florida area have extensive cashless toll roads, including the Florida Turnpike and I-95 Express lanes, toll costs can add up quickly. This benefit helps offset those expenses.
To claim your cashback after your Alamo rental in Fort Lauderdale:
- Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle
- Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback - followed by your reservation confirmation number
- Attach your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation, the rental agreement you signed at the Alamo counter, and a toll invoice or statement showing the 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 are not accepted. This benefit covers toll charges only, not administrative fees, fines, or parking tickets.
What is the minimum age to rent an Alamo car in Fort Lauderdale?
The minimum age to rent an Alamo car in Fort Lauderdale without a young-renter surcharge is 25.
Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent from Alamo in Fort Lauderdale, but a daily young-renter surcharge applies. For Alamo, this fee is US$15 per day plus applicable taxes, paid at the counter. Drivers under 21 are generally not permitted to rent.
Additional restrictions apply to younger renters at the Alamo counter in Fort Lauderdale:
- Many vehicle classes are restricted to drivers aged 25 and older, including full-size SUVs, minivans, luxury, premium, and convertible categories
- Drivers aged 21 to 24 are typically limited to economy, compact, intermediate, and compact SUV classes
All renters, regardless of age, must present a valid driver's license and a physical major credit card in the main driver's name for the security deposit. If your license is not in a Latin alphabet, an International Driving Permit is also required at the Fort Lauderdale Alamo counter.
How much does it cost to add an additional driver to an Alamo rental in Fort Lauderdale?
Adding an additional driver to your Alamo rental in Fort Lauderdale costs US$15 per day plus applicable taxes, paid directly at the Alamo counter. This fee applies unless your booking confirmation explicitly states that an additional driver is included at no charge.
Requirements for adding an additional driver at the Alamo counter in Fort Lauderdale:
- The additional driver must be present at pickup and sign the rental agreement
- They must present a valid driver's license and meet the same document requirements as the main driver
- If their license uses a non-Latin alphabet, an International Driving Permit is also required
- They must meet the minimum age requirements, and a young-renter surcharge may apply if they are under 25
Only drivers listed on the Alamo rental agreement in Fort Lauderdale are covered by the vehicle's protections, such as CDW/LDW and liability coverage. Anyone who drives the car without being named on the contract may void those protections entirely.
Does travel assistance cover me if something happens during my Alamo rental in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes, most bookings include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection, which can help if an unexpected situation arises during your Alamo rental in Fort Lauderdale or while traveling in the area.
This benefit is designed for non-North American customers. Residents of the United States and Canada do not qualify for this coverage.
For eligible renters, the travel assistance included with your Fort Lauderdale Alamo booking typically covers:
- Travel insurance with medical coverage for up to 5 passengers
- Legal assistance in the event of an accident
- Compensation for luggage lost by the airline
- Flight cancellation insurance
This coverage does not apply to damage to the Alamo rental vehicle itself (that is handled by CDW/LDW) or to third-party liability (covered by LIS/SLI). Pre-existing medical conditions are also excluded.
To get help 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, contact Terrawind at +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free) or via WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call. Always check your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your Fort Lauderdale Alamo reservation.
What is the fuel policy for Alamo rentals in Fort Lauderdale?
Alamo rentals in Fort Lauderdale 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 charges at the end of your Fort Lauderdale Alamo rental:
- Check the fuel gauge with the Alamo 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 before leaving the lot
- Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the return location so the gauge does not drop before you arrive
- Keep your final fuel receipt as proof, including the date, time, and station address
If you return the Alamo vehicle in Fort Lauderdale 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 the pump price, plus a refueling service fee. For after-hours returns, leave the receipt in the key envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge on your phone.
Some Alamo locations in Fort Lauderdale may offer a prepaid fuel option at the counter. If you accept it, any unused fuel is generally non-refundable.
Can I pick up an Alamo car in Fort Lauderdale and drop it off in another city?
Yes, one-way rentals are available with Alamo in Fort Lauderdale, allowing you to pick up in Fort Lauderdale and return the vehicle in a different city, such as Miami or Orlando.
A drop-off fee may apply depending on your route. This fee is set by Alamo and varies based on the cities involved, the distance, the season, and the vehicle class. The fee is shown during the booking process under the section labeled as charges due at the destination, and it will also appear on your booking confirmation.
- Same-city airport to downtown routes often have no drop-off fee
- Routes between different cities or states typically carry a drop-off fee
- Cross-border one-ways, such as from Fort Lauderdale to a location outside the United States, may be restricted or carry higher fees depending on Alamo's policy
The drop-off fee cannot be prepaid and is settled at the Alamo counter in Fort Lauderdale or at the return location. It is not covered by No Extra Charges© unless the fee was not disclosed during booking. If you need to change your return location after booking, contact support, as changes may reprice the rental and affect the drop-off fee.
What insurance options does Alamo offer at the Fort Lauderdale counter?
At the Alamo counter in Fort Lauderdale, you can review and add several insurance and protection options to your rental agreement.
- 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 booking confirmation states zero deductible. 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 Fort Lauderdale. Florida does not universally require rental companies to include state-minimum liability, so this coverage is strongly recommended.
Neither CDW/LDW nor LIS/SLI covers your personal injuries or belongings. Personal Accident Insurance (PAI) and Personal Effects Coverage (PEC) are separate optional add-ons available at the Alamo counter in Fort Lauderdale.
Before accepting or declining any coverage at the Fort Lauderdale Alamo counter, check your booking confirmation to see which protections are already included in your rate. Only drivers named on the rental agreement are covered by any of these protections.
How does the Alamo cancellation policy work for Fort Lauderdale bookings?
The Alamo cancellation policy for Fort Lauderdale bookings follows a specific window that differs from other rental partners.
For Alamo reservations in Fort Lauderdale, the cancellation policy is governed by the Alamo/National/Enterprise group rules. You should review your booking confirmation for the exact terms that apply to your reservation, as conditions can vary by rate type and booking date.
General guidelines that apply to Alamo Fort Lauderdale bookings:
- Cancellations made within the allowed window are typically eligible for a full refund
- Cancellations made outside the allowed window or after the pickup time has passed may result in a penalty or no refund
- If your flight is delayed by less than 24 hours, Alamo in Fort Lauderdale will generally hold your reservation. If the delay exceeds 24 hours, contact support as soon as possible
- No-shows, where you do not cancel and do not appear, are typically treated as forfeited bookings with no refund
Always cancel through your booking confirmation before the deadline if your plans change. For questions about your specific Fort Lauderdale Alamo reservation, contact support via the Manage Booking link in your confirmation email.
