Will I face unexpected charges at the Alamo counter in New Brunswick when I book through Hola Car Rentals?
No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Alamo booking in New Brunswick 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 New Brunswick 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 do I pick up my Alamo rental car at Moncton Airport in New Brunswick?
Yes, Alamo operates at Moncton International Airport (YQM) in New Brunswick, and the counter is located inside the terminal, so no shuttle is required.
When you arrive at YQM, follow the car rental signs inside the terminal to reach the counter. Alamo's presence at this location is serviced through Enterprise, which is part of the same Enterprise Holdings family. You can use Alamo's Accelerated Check-in or Skip the Counter options if you enrolled before arrival to go directly to the vehicle lot.
For after-hours returns at Moncton, park in the designated Alamo spots in the return area and drop your keys in the Alamo drop box located beside the rental booth. Always confirm the exact parking bay on your rental agreement before leaving the counter.
Where is the Alamo counter at Saint John Airport in New Brunswick?
At Saint John Airport (YSJ) in New Brunswick, Alamo rentals are handled at the National Car Rental counter, located beside baggage claim inside the terminal. National and Alamo are both part of Enterprise Holdings, so the same desk serves both brands.
Once you collect your luggage, look for the National Car Rental signage near baggage claim. The agent there will provide your rental agreement and keys. If you enrolled in Alamo's Accelerated Check-in or Skip the Counter program before your trip, you may be able to proceed directly to the vehicle lot without waiting at the desk.
Shuttle or airport pick-up services are also available at YSJ. The address for the Saint John Alamo location is 4180 Loch Lomond Road. Counter hours are generally Monday through Friday 08:00 to 23:30 and Saturday through Sunday 09:30 to 23:00. For after-hours returns between 01:00 and 08:00, drop your keys in the Alamo counter drop box.
Are there toll roads I need to worry about with my Alamo rental in New Brunswick?
No, New Brunswick has no toll roads, so you will not encounter any toll charges while driving your Alamo rental within the province.
Unlike other Canadian provinces such as Ontario, which operates the 407 ETR toll highway, or Prince Edward Island, where the Confederation Bridge carries a toll of approximately CAD50.25 round-trip, New Brunswick roads are completely toll-free. You do not need to enroll in any toll program, purchase a transponder package, or worry about toll violations during your Alamo rental in New Brunswick.
If your trip takes you beyond New Brunswick into other provinces, toll requirements can vary significantly. In that case, check the toll rules for each province you plan to visit, and keep any toll receipts you collect during your rental period.
Can I get Tolls Cashback on my Alamo booking in New Brunswick?
Yes, Tolls Cashback is included with all Hola Car Rentals bookings, including your Alamo rental in New Brunswick, even though New Brunswick itself has no toll roads.
If your trip extends beyond New Brunswick into provinces or regions where tolls apply, you can claim back up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during the rental period. To claim, email [email protected] within 30 days of returning your Alamo vehicle and include the following:
- Your Hola Car Rentals reservation confirmation
- A copy of the rental agreement signed at pick-up
- A receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid
Refunds are issued to the original payment method used for your booking and typically process within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Late submissions received after 30 days are not accepted.
What documents do I need to pick up my Alamo rental car in New Brunswick?
To collect your Alamo rental in New Brunswick, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:
- A valid, unexpired driver's license in the main driver's name (original, not a photocopy or digital version)
- A major credit card with the driver's 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 outside Canada
If your driver's license is not in English or French and uses a non-Latin alphabet such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory and must accompany your original license. For licenses in other languages that use Latin characters, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required at Alamo locations in New Brunswick.
Digital documents are not accepted at the counter. All documents must be physical originals.
Do I need an International Driving Permit for my Alamo rental in New Brunswick?
It depends on your license. For your Alamo rental in New Brunswick, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory 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 at all times.
If your license is in a language other than English or French but uses Latin characters, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required at Alamo counters in New Brunswick. However, carrying one reduces the risk of any issues at the desk.
Important points to keep in mind:
- The IDP is a translation document only and is not valid without your original license
- Digital licenses and photocopies are not accepted
- Obtain your IDP in your home country before traveling, as it cannot be issued abroad
- Some Alamo locations in New Brunswick may also request a passport as additional identification
How much is the security deposit for an Alamo rental in New Brunswick?
When you pick up your Alamo rental in New Brunswick, a temporary authorization hold will be placed on your major credit card. For Canadian locations, this hold is typically in the range of CAD300 to CAD500, though some Alamo locations may require a minimum authorization of approximately CAD750 depending on the vehicle class and specific location.
Key things to know about the deposit:
- The hold is a temporary authorization, not a charge, but it reduces your available credit until released
- Only a physical, major credit card in the main driver's name with the name printed on the card is accepted; debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the deposit
- After you return the vehicle, the hold is released, but your bank may take up to 15 business days to reflect the release
- Premium or specialty vehicles may carry higher hold amounts
Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined, and notify your bank of your travel plans to avoid fraud blocks on the authorization.
Can I add an additional driver to my Alamo rental in New Brunswick?
Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Alamo rental in New Brunswick, either as part of your rate or by paying a fee at the counter.
For Alamo in New Brunswick, the additional driver fee is CAD15 per day plus applicable taxes when not included in your rate. Check your booking confirmation to see if your selected rate already includes one free additional driver.
Requirements for adding a driver at the Alamo counter in New Brunswick:
- The additional driver must be present at pick-up with a valid, unexpired driver's license
- They must meet the minimum age requirement (21 years or older at Alamo locations in New Brunswick)
- If their license uses a non-Latin alphabet, they must also present an IDP
- Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement
Only drivers listed on the rental agreement are covered by the rental protections. Anyone who drives the vehicle without being named on the contract may void coverage and result in additional charges.
Is there a young driver surcharge for under-25 renters at Alamo in New Brunswick?
Yes, a young driver surcharge applies to renters and additional drivers between the ages of 21 and 24 at Alamo locations in New Brunswick, including both Moncton International Airport (YQM) and Saint John Airport (YSJ).
The minimum rental age at Alamo in New Brunswick is 21 years old. Drivers under 25 are subject to a youthful driver surcharge on top of the base rental rate. The exact daily surcharge amount is set by the Alamo counter and can vary by location and vehicle class, so confirm the specific amount when you pick up your vehicle.
Drivers under 21 are not permitted to rent from Alamo in New Brunswick. If you are 25 or older, no young driver surcharge applies to your rental.
What is the fuel policy for Alamo rentals in New Brunswick?
Alamo rentals in New Brunswick 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 New Brunswick Alamo rental:
- Check the fuel gauge with the agent at pick-up and confirm the starting level is recorded on the rental agreement
- Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and fuel gauge when you collect the car
- Refuel within approximately 10 miles or 15 km of the return location at Moncton (YQM) or Saint John (YSJ) so the gauge does not drop before you arrive
- Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address
If you return the vehicle below the recorded starting level, Alamo may charge you for the fuel shortfall at their 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 as evidence.
What insurance is included with my Alamo rental in New Brunswick?
In New Brunswick, as in all Canadian provinces, provincial law requires every rental vehicle to carry third-party liability insurance by default. This statutory liability coverage is included when you book your Alamo rental in New Brunswick through Hola Car Rentals, though you can purchase higher supplemental liability limits if you want additional protection.
Depending on the rate you selected, your booking may also include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW), which reduces your financial liability for damage to the Alamo vehicle itself. Check your booking confirmation to see exactly what is included in your rate.
Key coverage points to review before your New Brunswick Alamo rental:
- CDW/LDW covers damage to the rental car but not injuries to others or damage to third-party property
- A deductible may apply unless your confirmation explicitly states zero deductible
- Excluded items often include tires, undercarriage, and roof damage
- Only drivers named on the rental agreement are covered
Review your rental agreement carefully at the Alamo counter to confirm all active coverages and any applicable deductibles.
Can I return my Alamo car after hours in New Brunswick?
Yes, after-hours returns are available at both Alamo airport locations in New Brunswick, with a key drop box process at each site.
At Saint John Airport (YSJ), if you return your Alamo vehicle between 01:00 and 08:00, park in the designated area as instructed on your rental agreement and drop your keys in the Alamo counter drop box. At Moncton International Airport (YQM), park under the Alamo signs in the return area and drop your keys in the Alamo drop box located beside the rental booth.
Tips for a smooth after-hours return in New Brunswick:
- Refuel before arriving at the airport so you comply with the Full-to-Full fuel policy
- Take photos of the vehicle condition, odometer, and fuel gauge before leaving
- Keep your fuel receipt and place a copy in the key envelope if one is provided
- Note that liability for the vehicle may remain with you until the Alamo agent formally checks it in the next morning
Always confirm the exact after-hours return instructions on your rental agreement when you pick up the vehicle.
