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

Alamo operates counters at both Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 of Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) in Ontario.

• Terminal 1: After arriving, proceed to Level 1 of the parking garage to reach the Alamo counter. The terminal address is 6301 Silver Dart Dr, Mississauga, ON L5P 1A2.
• Terminal 3: Exit through Door F, then cross the road to find the Alamo booth.

Counter hours at Toronto Pearson are 00:00 to 02:00 and 06:00 to 23:59 daily. If you arrive during the gap between 02:00 and 06:00, plan accordingly or arrange for an after-hours key drop. Alamo also operates at other Ontario airports including London (YXU), Ottawa (YOW), and Thunder Bay (YQT), as well as a downtown Toronto location at Union Station (161 Bay St, Unit C80).

Returning an Alamo rental car at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Ontario is straightforward whether you return during or after business hours.

• Follow the rental car return signs toward the north end of the lot.
• Drop your keys in the designated key drop box.
• A complimentary shuttle runs every 10 to 15 minutes, 24 hours a day, to transport you back to the terminals.

For after-hours returns, you can still drop the vehicle and leave the keys in the dropbox. The shuttle remains available around the clock, so you will not be stranded at the lot. If you need a receipt of charges and the counter is closed, contact the Alamo location during normal business hours the following day. Keep all paperwork and take a photo of the fuel gauge and odometer before leaving the vehicle.

Yes, Alamo offers a TollPass program that is available in Ontario, Canada, which can be used on Highway 407 ETR, the main toll road in the Greater Toronto Area.

The 407 ETR is a 108 km all-electronic highway that spans the GTA. It uses license plate photography with no cash booths, so every vehicle that uses it is billed automatically. If you drive on the 407 ETR without enrolling in a toll program, Alamo will be billed by the toll agency and will then charge your credit card for the toll amount plus administrative fees.

• Rental toll programs typically offer a flat daily rate for unlimited use or a per-use option with an admin fee added to each toll.
• GPS devices may route you onto the 407 ETR by default, so be aware of your route if you want to avoid tolls.
• Other major Ontario highways such as the 401, 400, and QEW are toll-free.

Ask the Alamo counter agent in Ontario about the current TollPass pricing and daily cap before signing the rental agreement.

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 Ontario, including charges from Highway 407 ETR.

Here is how to claim it after your rental ends:

• Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle.
• Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback, followed by your reservation number (e.g., Tolls Cashback - HOLA1000000).
• Attach your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation, the signed Alamo rental agreement, and a receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid.

The refund is calculated as the lesser of the actual tolls paid or 5% of your booking total. For example, if your booking total is US$500, the cap is US$25. Refunds are issued to the original payment method and typically process within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Late submissions received after 30 days are not accepted. This benefit does not mean tolls are included in your rate; you still pay them normally during the rental in Ontario.

To pick up an Alamo rental car in Ontario, 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. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the hold.
• A passport or valid government-issued photo ID.
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher.
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets may be requested.

If your driver's license is not in English or French and uses a non-Latin alphabet (for example, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic), an International Driving Permit (IDP) is required as a translation. For licenses in other scripts, an IDP is strongly recommended. The IDP is not a standalone document; you must carry it alongside your original license. Obtain your IDP in your home country before traveling to Ontario, as it cannot be issued abroad. All documents must be physical; digital versions are not accepted at the Alamo counter.

Yes, a physical major credit card in the main driver's name with the driver's name printed on the card is required for the security deposit hold at any Alamo location in Ontario.

In Canada, the typical hold placed on your credit card for a standard vehicle is approximately CAD 300 to CAD 500, though some Ontario locations may hold up to approximately CAD 750. The hold is a temporary authorization, not a charge, and reduces your available credit until your bank releases it after the rental ends.

• 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 at the counter for the hold.
• The card must be physically present and must belong to the main driver.

Even if you prepaid your Alamo booking online, you must still present a physical credit card at the Ontario counter. Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined, and notify your bank of your travel plans to prevent fraud blocks on the authorization.

Yes, when you rent with Alamo in Ontario, provincial law requires every vehicle to carry third-party liability coverage, and this statutory liability is included by default in your rental in Canada.

This means you are covered for bodily injury and property damage you may cause to other people while driving the Alamo vehicle in Ontario. However, the statutory minimum may be lower than what you would want in a serious incident. You can purchase supplemental liability insurance (LIS/ALI/SLI) to increase your coverage limits up to US$300,000 or more.

• Third-party liability covers injury or property damage to others, not damage to the Alamo rental vehicle itself.
• Damage to the rental car is covered separately by a Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW).
• Only drivers named on the Alamo rental agreement in Ontario are covered; unlisted drivers void the coverage.

Review your booking confirmation to confirm what is included in your rate, and ask the Alamo agent at the Ontario counter to clarify the exact liability limits on your agreement before signing.

At Alamo locations in Ontario, the additional driver fee is US$15 per day plus applicable taxes when it is not included in your rate.

Some booking rates explicitly include one additional driver at no extra cost. Check your booking confirmation for the line that reads "Additional driver free of charge" to confirm whether your Ontario Alamo rate covers this.

• If not included, the fee of US$15 per day is paid directly at the Alamo counter in Ontario.
• The additional driver must be present at pickup with a valid driver's license and any required identification.
• If the additional driver's license is not in English or French, or uses a non-Latin alphabet, an IDP may be required.
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the Alamo rental agreement.

Only drivers listed on the Alamo rental agreement in Ontario are covered by the vehicle's protections such as CDW and liability coverage. Never allow an unlisted person to drive the vehicle, as this can void your coverage and result in additional charges.

Yes, one-way rentals are possible with Alamo in Ontario, allowing you to pick up in one city and drop off in another, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on the route.

Alamo operates at multiple Ontario locations including Toronto Pearson (YYZ), Ottawa (YOW), London (YXU), Thunder Bay (YQT), and downtown Toronto at Union Station. One-way availability and fees depend on the specific route, vehicle class, and travel dates.

• The drop-off fee, if applicable, will be shown during the booking process under the "To pay at destination" section.
• If no fee appears during checkout, no drop-off fee applies to your route.
• Cross-border one-ways (for example, driving from Ontario into Quebec or the United States) may be restricted or carry higher fees; confirm with the Alamo counter before travel.

Do not change your drop-off location after booking without checking for repricing, as route changes can increase or add a drop-off fee. If the Alamo counter in Ontario charges a fee that was not disclosed in your confirmation, keep all paperwork and contact support after the rental ends.

If your flight is delayed and you arrive later than your scheduled Alamo pickup time in Ontario, the rental company will generally hold your booking for up to 24 hours from the original pickup time.

• If your delay is less than 24 hours, your Alamo reservation in Ontario should still be honored, provided you arrive during counter operating hours (00:00 to 02:00 and 06:00 to 23:59 daily at Toronto Pearson).
• If your delay pushes arrival outside counter hours, plan for the gap between 02:00 and 06:00 when the counter is closed.
• If your delay exceeds 24 hours, contact support via WhatsApp at +1 (786) 999-8312 or email [email protected] as soon as possible to explore options.

It is important to note that if the pickup does not happen within 24 hours of the original scheduled time, the booking may be forfeited with no refund. Always monitor your flight status and reach out proactively if a significant delay is expected. Having your Alamo booking confirmation handy when you arrive at the Ontario counter will help the agent locate your reservation quickly.

Alamo rentals in Ontario 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 the rental agreement.
• Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and fuel gauge before leaving the Ontario location.
• Refuel within approximately 15 km of the return location 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 Alamo vehicle in Ontario 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 at Toronto Pearson, leave the fuel receipt in the key drop envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge on your phone. If the vehicle was not full at pickup, ask the Alamo agent to record the exact starting level on the agreement so you only need to return it at that same level.

Travel assistance is included with most bookings, but this benefit does not apply to residents of Canada or the United States. If you are renting an Alamo vehicle in Ontario and you are not a North American resident, you may be covered by travel assistance provided through Terrawind Global Protection.

Coverage typically includes:

• Travel insurance with medical coverage for up to 5 passengers.
• Legal assistance in the event of an accident, which can be especially useful if an incident occurs on Ontario highways such as the 401 or the 407 ETR.
• Compensation for luggage lost by the airline.
• Flight cancellation insurance.

To use the assistance during your Alamo rental in Ontario, call +1 888 980 9992 (available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week) or contact Terrawind via WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready. This coverage does not apply to damage to the Alamo rental vehicle itself (that is handled by CDW/LDW) or to third-party liability (handled by LIS/ALI/SLI). Check your booking confirmation for the exact terms applicable to your itinerary.

Yes, a valid foreign driver's license is generally accepted for an Alamo rental in Ontario, Canada, provided it is unexpired and includes a photo.

• If your license is in English or French, no additional translation document is required.
• If your license uses a non-Latin alphabet such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is required as a translation and must be carried alongside your original license.
• For licenses in other languages that use Latin characters, an IDP is strongly recommended even if not strictly mandatory.
• Photocopies, digital licenses, and learner's permits are not accepted at the Alamo counter in Ontario.

You must obtain your IDP in your home country before traveling; it cannot be issued once you are already in Ontario. The IDP is a translation booklet only and is invalid without your original license. In addition to your license, bring your passport and your booking confirmation. Some Alamo locations in Ontario may also request proof of return travel such as a flight or cruise ticket, so carry those documents as well.
