No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Avis booking in Fort Wayne 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 Avis 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 Avis counter in Fort Wayne 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 Avis 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 Avis counter at Fort Wayne International Airport (FWA) is located inside the terminal at 3827 W Ferguson Rd, Fort Wayne, IN 46809. Upon arrival, follow signs for Arrivals or Baggage Claim, then proceed inside the terminal to locate the Avis counter in the baggage claim area.

The Avis counter at Fort Wayne operates Monday through Sunday from 9:00 AM to 11:45 PM. After-hours drop-off service is available 24 hours a day, so you can return your vehicle outside of counter hours using the designated key drop.

If you have questions about your specific pickup, you can contact the Avis Fort Wayne location directly using the number listed on your booking confirmation.

To pick up your Avis rental car in Fort Wayne, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:

• A valid, original driver's license in the main driver's name
• A major credit card 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 travel tickets (required for visitors from outside the United States)

If your driver's license is not in English and does not use a Latin (Roman) alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory. For all other non-English licenses, 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 copies shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted at the Avis Fort Wayne counter.

Yes, Avis in Fort Wayne requires a physical major credit card in the main driver's name, with the driver's name printed on the card, to place a security hold at pickup.

The hold is a temporary authorization, not a charge, and reduces your available credit until your bank releases it after the rental ends. In the United States, typical holds for standard vehicles range from approximately US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount at the Avis Fort Wayne counter depends on the vehicle class and location policy.

• Debit cards are not accepted for the security deposit hold
• Prepaid or virtual cards are not accepted
• The card must belong to the main driver, not a third party

It is a good idea to bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined. Also notify your bank of your travel plans to prevent fraud blocks on in-person authorizations. The hold is released after you return the vehicle, but your bank may take up to 15 business days to reflect the release.

When renting from Avis in Fort Wayne, you should be aware that Indiana operates the Indiana Toll Road (I-90), a 157-mile east-west highway across northern Indiana, as well as tolled river bridges. These roads use E-ZPass, I-Pass (Indiana's transponder system), and cashless video tolling via license plate capture.

Your Avis rental vehicle in Fort Wayne comes pre-equipped with an electronic toll device. At pickup, you have two options:

• Enroll in the Avis e-Toll program, which charges a daily convenience fee plus the actual toll amounts at video or cash rates
• Opt out and pay tolls manually where cash booths are available, or use your own transponder if you have one

If you do not enroll and drive through a cashless toll, Avis will bill the toll charges plus administrative processing fees to your card on file, sometimes weeks after the rental ends. Unpaid tolls can also result in violations or fines from toll authorities.

There are no congestion charges or emissions zones in Fort Wayne or Indiana. Tolls are distance-based or bridge-based only. If you plan to drive the Indiana Toll Road from Fort Wayne toward Chicago or Ohio, factor in toll costs using the Indiana Toll Road calculator before your trip.

Yes, Avis in Fort Wayne applies a young-renter surcharge for drivers aged 21 to 24. The minimum age to rent without an underage fee is 25.

Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent from Avis in Fort Wayne, but they must present a valid driver's license and a major credit card, and they will be charged a daily underage surcharge. Additionally, most vehicle classes are restricted to renters aged 25 and older. Younger renters are generally limited to Economy, Compact, and Intermediate categories.

One important exception applies: if you are a citizen or resident of Latin America or the Caribbean, certain Hola Car Rentals rates fulfilled by Avis waive the underage fee for the main driver aged 21 to 24, provided the waiver is explicitly shown on your booking confirmation and you select an eligible vehicle category. This exception does not apply to travelers from Europe, Asia, Africa, or other regions.

If you are an additional driver aged 21 to 24, note that Avis generally requires additional drivers to be at least 25 years old at pickup in Fort Wayne.

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

This benefit is especially useful in Fort Wayne, where driving the Indiana Toll Road (I-90) or crossing tolled river bridges can add up over a multi-day rental. You still pay tolls normally during your trip, and then claim the cashback afterward.

To claim your Tolls Cashback after returning your Avis vehicle in Fort Wayne:

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

The refund is issued to the same payment method used for your booking and typically processes within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Claims submitted after 30 days are not accepted.

Avis rentals in Fort Wayne follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid fuel charges.

• At pickup, check the fuel gauge with the Avis 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 Fort Wayne lot
• Refuel within approximately 10 miles 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 vehicle below the recorded starting level, Avis may charge you for the fuel shortfall at the partner's refueling rate, which is typically higher than retail pump prices, plus a refueling service fee.

For after-hours returns at Fort Wayne International Airport, leave your fuel receipt in the return envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge on your phone as documentation.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Avis rental in Fort Wayne, but the additional driver must be present at the counter at pickup with a valid driver's license to sign the rental agreement.

Whether the additional driver fee is included or charged at the counter depends on your rate. Check your booking confirmation for the line that reads Additional driver free of charge. If it is not included, Avis charges US$13 per rental day plus taxes, with a maximum charge of US$65 plus taxes for the additional driver.

Important rules for additional drivers at Avis in Fort Wayne:

• The additional driver must meet the same document requirements as the main driver, including an IDP if their license uses a non-Latin alphabet
• For Avis in Fort Wayne, additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old at pickup
• Only named drivers listed on the rental agreement are covered by protections such as CDW and liability coverage
• If someone drives who is not listed on the agreement, coverage may be void

If you need to add a driver after pickup, visit an Avis branch to update the agreement in person.

Fort Wayne has some road layout features that can catch first-time visitors off guard, especially if you are used to uniform urban grids.

• Downtown Fort Wayne is dominated by one-way streets that were originally designed to move traffic at highway-like speeds. Streets such as Washington Boulevard have four lanes that can feel more like a freeway than a city road, so watch your speed carefully
• Some arterials like Stellhorn Road lack continuous sidewalks and have a higher crash history, so extra caution is warranted on these roads
• Temporary one-way conversions and construction detours, such as single-lane setups on certain bridges, can shift traffic patterns without much warning
• The Columbia Street Bridge has a narrow sidewalk sitting very close to fast-moving traffic lanes, which can be disorienting for drivers unfamiliar with the layout

Fort Wayne is a car-dependent city, so your Avis rental is the most practical way to get between destinations. Road changes tied to ongoing Complete Streets improvements, such as lane reductions and new protected paths, are being phased in across the city, so expect some inconsistency between streets. Always follow posted speed limits and watch for construction signage throughout Fort Wayne.

The insurance coverage included with your Avis rental in Fort Wayne depends on the rate plan you selected. Check your booking confirmation for the specific protections listed.

Two key coverages to understand:

• Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): reduces your financial liability for damage to the Avis rental vehicle from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation states zero deductible. CDW and LDW do not cover damage you cause to other vehicles or people
• Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI): covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving. In Indiana, not all rental locations are required by state law to include minimum liability, so confirm whether this is included or available as an add-on on your Avis Fort Wayne confirmation

CDW and LDW do not cover tires, undercarriage, roof damage, or personal belongings. Only drivers named on the Avis rental agreement are covered. If you drive outside permitted areas or violate the rental terms, coverage may be voided.

Review your confirmation carefully before arriving at the Avis counter in Fort Wayne to understand exactly what is included and what your out-of-pocket exposure would be in the event of an incident.

Most Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Avis rentals in Fort Wayne, include travel assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection. However, this benefit does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada.

If you are eligible, the travel assistance coverage typically includes:

• Medical coverage for up to 5 passengers for accidents and non-pre-existing illnesses
• Legal assistance in the event of a road accident, which is particularly useful if you are involved in an incident on Fort Wayne's one-way arterials or the Indiana Toll Road
• Compensation for luggage lost by the airline
• Flight cancellation insurance

If you need assistance during your Avis rental in Fort Wayne, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day:

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

Have your full name and Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call. Travel assistance does not cover damage to the Avis rental vehicle (that is CDW/LDW) or liability to third parties (that is LIS/SLI/ALI). Check your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your reservation.

Yes, it is possible to pick up your Avis car in Fort Wayne and return it in a different city, but a one-way drop-off fee may apply depending on the route.

The drop-off fee is route-specific and varies based on the destination, distance, vehicle class, and season. Common patterns to expect:

• Fort Wayne to another city in Indiana or a neighboring state: a drop-off fee typically applies and will be listed under the To pay at destination section of your booking confirmation
• Cross-country or long-distance one-ways: fees are usually higher and some routes may not be permitted
• Cross-border one-ways, such as into Canada: often restricted or subject to special approval by Avis

The drop-off fee is always shown during the booking process on the rate details page before you confirm. It cannot be prepaid and is paid directly to Avis at the Fort Wayne pickup counter or at the return location. If a fee was not disclosed on your confirmation but is charged at the counter, contact support after the rental, as this may be covered under No Extra Charges© protection.

Changing your return location after booking may reprice the rental and recalculate the drop-off fee, so confirm any changes before pickup.

If you return your Avis rental in Fort Wayne later than the agreed drop-off time, a grace period and late fees may apply.

The standard grace period is approximately 30 minutes. After that window, Avis may charge for extra time as follows:

• Up to 30 minutes late: typically within the grace period, no extra charge
• 30 to 90 minutes late: a partial-day charge (approximately three-quarters of a daily rate) may apply
• More than 90 minutes late: a full additional day charge may apply

The Avis Fort Wayne counter is open daily from 9:00 AM to 11:45 PM, with 24-hour drop-off available. If you return after hours, use the designated key drop at Fort Wayne International Airport. Note that your liability for the vehicle continues until Avis formally checks it in, even if you drop the keys after hours.

If you know you will need the car longer, it is better to extend your rental in advance rather than returning late. Contact Avis or reach out through your booking to request an extension before your scheduled return time to avoid late fees and potential availability issues.
