No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Budget booking in Mississippi 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 Budget 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 Budget counter in Mississippi 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 Budget 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 Budget counter at Jackson-Evers International Airport (JAN) in Mississippi is located inside the terminal at 137 Hangar Dr, Jackson, MS 39208. After clearing the terminal, it is a short walk to the car lot.

Counter hours at this Budget location are:

• Monday through Friday: 6:00 AM to 11:30 PM
• Saturday and Sunday: 7:00 AM to 11:30 PM

If you are enrolled in Fastbreak, you can skip the counter entirely. Simply note the mileage and fuel level, drop the agreement in the return box, and mail it in. No counter visit is needed for Fastbreak members at this Mississippi Budget location.

For after-hours returns, use the key drop box and record your mileage and fuel level before leaving the vehicle.

The Budget counter at Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport (GPT) in Mississippi is located at 14035 Airport Rd, Gulfport, MS 39503. The rental cars are parked approximately 45 feet from the counter, just outside the terminal, making pickup quick and straightforward.

Counter hours at this Mississippi Budget location are daily from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM.

If you return the vehicle after hours, be aware that you remain liable for the vehicle and any charges until the next business day close-out. There is no after-hours key drop arrangement equivalent to the Fastbreak box at Jackson-Evers, so plan your return time accordingly.

For the smoothest experience at this Budget location in Mississippi, aim to return the car during staffed hours so the agent can process your return immediately.

No, Mississippi has no toll roads. Drivers with a Budget rental in Mississippi will not encounter any toll booths, cashless toll systems, or electronic transponder requirements anywhere in the state.

Because Mississippi has no tolls, you will not face:

• Daily toll program fees (typically US$11 to US$25 per day at other destinations)
• Pay-per-use toll charges billed after the rental
• Administrative or processing fees for toll evasion
• Any need to enroll in or opt out of a transponder program

If your Mississippi Budget itinerary includes driving into neighboring states such as Tennessee or Alabama, toll roads may exist in those areas. In that case, the toll device in your Budget vehicle would apply, and you could choose an unlimited daily toll package or pay per use at the counter.

Hola Car Rentals includes Tolls Cashback on all bookings, so if you do pay tolls while driving outside Mississippi, you can claim up to 5% of your total booking value back after the rental.

To pick up a Budget rental car in Mississippi, 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, 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 Mississippi from abroad

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 alongside your original license. For licenses in English or a Latin alphabet, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required.

All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies on a phone or tablet are not accepted at the Budget counter in Mississippi. Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit hold.

Yes, Budget in Mississippi applies a young driver surcharge for renters between the ages of 21 and 24. The minimum rental age at Budget locations in Mississippi is 21.

The standard Budget young driver fee in the United States is US$13 per rental day plus applicable taxes, with a maximum charge of US$65 plus taxes for the rental period.

Additionally, drivers under 25 are restricted from renting certain vehicle classes at Budget in Mississippi. Categories typically limited to renters aged 25 and older include full-size sedans, full-size SUVs, minivans, vans, convertibles, luxury, and premium vehicles. Economy, compact, medium sedan, standard sedan, compact SUV, and medium SUV categories are generally available to eligible younger renters.

One important exception: if you are a traveler from Latin America or the Caribbean aged 21 to 24, certain Hola Car Rentals rates with Budget may waive the underage fee. Check your booking confirmation to see if the waiver is explicitly shown before arriving at the Mississippi Budget counter.

All Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Budget rentals in Mississippi, include Tolls Cashback of up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during the rental period.

Because Mississippi has no toll roads, this benefit is most relevant if your Budget itinerary takes you into neighboring states where tolls do exist, such as Tennessee or Alabama. Any tolls you pay on those roads during your Mississippi-based rental are eligible for the cashback.

To claim your Tolls Cashback after returning your Budget vehicle in Mississippi:

• 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 booking confirmation, the signed rental agreement, and a receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid

Refunds are issued to the original payment method used for the reservation and typically process within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Claims submitted after 30 days are not accepted.

The Budget counter at Tupelo Regional Airport (TUP) in Mississippi is located at 2763 Jackson St, Tupelo, MS 38801. The counter is approximately 20 yards to the left from the plane drop-off area inside the terminal, and rental cars are parked directly outside.

Counter hours at this Mississippi Budget location are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The counter is closed on Saturdays and Sundays.

If you need to return your Budget vehicle in Mississippi outside of these hours, the after-hours return process applies the same procedures as pickup. You will be charged until the next business day close-out, so factor this into your return planning. There is no staffed agent available on weekends at this location.

If your flight arrives outside staffed hours, contact the Budget counter in advance or consider adjusting your pickup time to fall within the Monday to Friday window to avoid complications.

When you pick up your Budget rental car in Mississippi, the counter agent will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card. This is not a charge but reduces your available credit until it is released after the rental ends.

For standard vehicles rented in the United States, including Budget locations in Mississippi, the typical hold is approximately US$300 to US$400. The exact amount can vary depending on the vehicle class, location, and season. Premium or specialty vehicles may carry a higher hold.

Important requirements for the deposit at Budget in Mississippi:

• The card must be a major credit card, not a debit or prepaid card
• The card must be in the main driver's name with the driver's name physically printed on the card
• Digital wallets and virtual card numbers are not accepted
• You must have sufficient available credit to cover the hold plus any expected charges

After you return the vehicle, the hold is released. Your bank or card issuer controls when the credit reappears on your account, which can take up to 15 business days. Bringing a backup credit card is always recommended.

Most Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Budget rentals in Mississippi, include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection at no extra cost. This benefit is particularly useful if you experience a medical emergency or other travel disruption while driving through Mississippi.

Core benefits typically included are:

• 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 need assistance while on the road in Mississippi, contact the provider 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by calling +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free), via WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001, or by emailing [email protected]. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call.

Important: this Travel Assistance benefit does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada. It also does not cover damage to the Budget rental vehicle itself, which is handled separately by CDW or LDW coverage. Always review your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your Mississippi rental.

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

If your booking confirmation explicitly states that an additional driver is included at no charge, the first extra driver is free. If it is not included, Budget in Mississippi charges US$13 per rental day plus taxes, with a maximum of US$65 plus taxes for the rental period.

Requirements for adding an additional driver at the Budget counter in Mississippi:

• The additional driver must be present at pickup with a valid driver's license
• They must meet the minimum age requirement of 21 for Mississippi Budget locations
• For Budget, additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old; drivers aged 21 to 24 may be subject to the young driver surcharge or may not be accepted depending on location rules
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement

Only drivers listed on the rental agreement are covered by protections such as CDW and liability coverage. Never allow an unlisted person to drive the vehicle, as this can void your coverage.

Budget rentals in Mississippi 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 on your Mississippi Budget rental:

• Check the fuel gauge with the 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 at pickup
• Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the return location before dropping off the vehicle
• Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address
• For after-hours returns at locations like Hattiesburg or Jackson-Evers, leave the receipt in the return envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge

If you return the Budget vehicle in Mississippi 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 retail pump prices, plus a refueling service fee.

If the vehicle was not full at pickup, the agent must record the actual starting level on the agreement. You are only required to return it at that same recorded level.

The insurance coverage included in your Budget rental in Mississippi depends on the rate plan selected when booking through Hola Car Rentals.

Most Hola Car Rentals rate plans for Budget in Mississippi include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW), which reduces your financial liability for damage to the rental vehicle from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation explicitly states zero deductible.

CDW and LDW do not cover:

• Damage or injury caused to third parties, which requires separate Third-Party Liability coverage (LIS or SLI)
• Your own personal injuries, which would require Personal Accident Insurance (PAI)
• Tires, wheels, undercarriage, or roof damage unless specifically included
• Incidents resulting from prohibited use such as off-road driving or driving under the influence

Regarding third-party liability in Mississippi: not all U.S. states require rental companies to include state-minimum liability coverage by default. Always check your Budget rental confirmation and the rental agreement at the counter to confirm exactly what liability protection is active. Adding Liability Insurance Supplementary (LIS up to US$300,000) is strongly recommended for driving in Mississippi.

Yes, Budget operates several non-airport locations in Mississippi in addition to its airport counters, giving you flexibility depending on where you are staying.

Non-airport Budget locations in Mississippi include:

• Hilton Jackson, 1001 E County Line Rd, Jackson, MS 39211 (hours: Monday to Friday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Saturday and Sunday 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM)

• Bull Frog Corner Shopping Center, Horn Lake

Non-airport Budget locations in Mississippi typically have shorter operating hours than airport counters, and after-hours returns may involve a key drop box. At the Hattiesburg location, for example, a key drop box is available but you remain liable for the vehicle and any charges until the next business day close-out.

Bring your booking confirmation, a valid driver's license, and a major credit card in the main driver's name to any Budget counter in Mississippi, whether airport or city location.
