Will I face unexpected charges at the Budget counter in New Hampshire when I book through Hola Car Rentals?
No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Budget booking in New Hampshire 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.

The only costs outside this guarantee are:
- Optional add-ons you choose at the counter (GPS, child seats, prepaid fuel)

Where is the Budget counter at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport in New Hampshire?
The Budget counter at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT) in New Hampshire is located inside the terminal at 1 Airport Rd, Manchester, NH 03103. From the arrivals area, follow the car rental signs to reach the counter, and the car lot is a short walk from there.
Budget also offers shuttle or airport pick-up services at MHT. If you are a Budget Fastbreak member, you can skip the counter line and go directly to your vehicle.
Counter hours at Manchester Airport are:
- Sunday through Thursday: 8:00 AM to 12:00 AM
- Friday and Saturday: 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM
For after-hours returns at this New Hampshire location, follow the car rental return signs, record your mileage and fuel level on the rental agreement, and drop the keys in the Budget return box. No counter visit is required and your agreement will be mailed within 48 hours.
What Budget locations are available in New Hampshire besides the airport?
Budget operates three locations across New Hampshire, giving you flexibility depending on where you need to pick up or drop off your vehicle.
- Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT): 1 Airport Rd, Manchester, NH 03103 (airport location)
- Manchester off-airport: 367 South Willow Street, Manchester, NH (city location)
- Nashua: 94 E Hollis St, Nashua, NH 03060 (city location)
The Nashua Budget location in New Hampshire is an independent franchise with a long-standing history of personalized services, including vehicle delivery to businesses and customer pickups from homes, hotels, or dealerships. Hours at the Nashua location are Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Saturday 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, and Sunday 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
Off-airport Budget locations in New Hampshire may offer lower rates compared to the airport location, as they can avoid certain airport concession fees and facility charges. Always compare rates during the booking process to find the best option for your trip.
What documents do I need to pick up a Budget rental car in New Hampshire?
To pick up your Budget rental car in New Hampshire, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:
- A valid, original driver's license in the main driver's name (physical card, not digital)
- 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 abroad
If your driver's license is not in English or uses a non-Latin alphabet (such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic), you must carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your original license. The IDP is a translation only and is not valid without the original license.
Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit at Budget locations in New Hampshire. Even if you prepaid your booking, a physical major credit card is still required at the counter. All documents must be physical originals; digital versions will not be accepted.
How do toll roads work for Budget rental cars in New Hampshire?
New Hampshire has several toll roads that Budget rental car drivers are likely to encounter, all operating on the E-ZPass electronic toll collection system. The main toll roads are:
- Blue Star Turnpike (I-95, from Seabrook to Portsmouth): up to US$2.00 per car at the Hampton plazas (US$1.40 with E-ZPass discount)
- F.E. Everett Turnpike (I-93/293, from Nashua to Concord): up to US$1.00 per car (US$0.70 with E-ZPass discount)
- Spaulding Turnpike (NH 16, from Portsmouth toward Rochester): also E-ZPass enabled
Your Budget rental vehicle in New Hampshire will include an electronic toll device. If you drive through an E-ZPass lane, Budget's e-Toll program auto-enrolls your vehicle and charges the actual toll amount plus a US$6.95 per day administrative fee (only on days you use a toll road, up to a maximum of US$34.95 per 30 days). An unlimited toll option is also available at US$10.99 to US$25.99 per day depending on location.
Cash lanes are still available at some New Hampshire toll plazas and can be used to avoid the rental company's toll program fees. You can also use the official toll rate calculator at ezpassnh.com for exact route costs before your trip.
Can I get cashback on tolls paid during my Budget rental in New Hampshire?
Yes, all bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include Tolls Cashback, which lets you recover up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your Budget rental in New Hampshire.
New Hampshire toll roads such as the Blue Star Turnpike (I-95), the F.E. Everett Turnpike (I-93/293), and the Spaulding Turnpike (NH 16) all qualify. Whether you pay through Budget's e-Toll program or at a cash lane, you can submit a claim after your rental ends.
To claim your Tolls Cashback:
- Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle
- Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback - Reservation [Your Confirmation Number]
- Attach your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation, the signed rental agreement, and a receipt or statement showing the toll 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 will not be accepted. This benefit does not mean tolls are included in your Budget booking rate; you still pay tolls normally and receive reimbursement afterward.
What taxes and fees apply to Budget car rentals in New Hampshire?
Budget rentals in New Hampshire are subject to a 9% state rental car surcharge. New Hampshire has no general sales tax, which makes this surcharge lower than the combined tax burden in many other U.S. states.
In addition to the state surcharge, standard Budget fees that may apply include:
- Customer facility charges at airport locations such as Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT)
- Concession recovery fees at airport locations
- Budget e-Toll fee: US$6.95 per day on days you use a toll road (up to US$34.95 per 30 days), or an unlimited option at US$10.99 to US$25.99 per day
- Fuel charges if the vehicle is not returned at the recorded fuel level
Your booking confirmation will show which taxes and fees are included in your prepaid rate and which are due at the Budget counter in New Hampshire. If your confirmation states that taxes and fees are included, you should not be billed again for those items at pick-up. The No Extra Charges© guarantee from Hola Car Rentals protects you against undisclosed counter charges that were not listed on your confirmation.
Is there a young driver surcharge for Budget rentals in New Hampshire?
Yes, Budget in New Hampshire applies a young driver surcharge for renters under 25 years old. In most U.S. states including New Hampshire, the standard minimum age to rent without a surcharge is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent but will be charged an additional daily fee.
For Budget in New Hampshire, the young driver surcharge is US$13 per rental day plus applicable taxes, with a maximum charge of US$65 plus taxes for the rental period.
Drivers under 21 are generally not permitted to rent at Budget locations in New Hampshire. Additionally, certain vehicle classes such as full-size SUVs, minivans, luxury, premium, and convertible vehicles are typically restricted to renters aged 25 and older.
One exception applies to drivers aged 21 to 24 from Latin America and the Caribbean: certain Hola Car Rentals rates fulfilled by Budget waive the underage fee for the main driver when the waiver is explicitly shown on the booking confirmation and the vehicle falls within an eligible category (economy, compact, medium sedan, standard sedan, compact SUV, or medium SUV). Check your confirmation to see if this waiver applies to your New Hampshire Budget booking.
What is the security deposit for a Budget rental in New Hampshire?
When you pick up your Budget rental car in New Hampshire, the counter will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card. This is not a charge; it is a hold that reduces your available credit until it is released after you return the vehicle.
For standard vehicles at Budget locations in the United States, including New Hampshire, the typical hold is approximately US$300 to US$400. Premium or specialty vehicle classes may carry a higher hold amount.
Important requirements for the deposit at Budget in New Hampshire:
- You must present a physical, major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card
- The card must be in the main driver's name
- Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted for the deposit hold
- You must have sufficient available credit to cover the hold plus any expected charges
After you return the vehicle, Budget releases the hold. Your bank or card issuer controls when the credit becomes available again, which can take up to 15 business days. Bringing a backup credit card is recommended in case your primary card is declined at the New Hampshire Budget counter.
Does Budget in New Hampshire include insurance coverage in the rental rate?
Budget rental rates in New Hampshire do not automatically include full insurance coverage. What is included depends on the specific rate plan you selected when booking.
There are two main types of coverage to consider for your Budget rental in New Hampshire:
- Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): reduces your financial liability for damage to the rental vehicle from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may still apply unless your confirmation explicitly states zero deductible.
- Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI): covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to other people or their property while driving. Some U.S. states require a minimum level of liability coverage, but not all do. New Hampshire is one of the few U.S. states that does not mandate auto insurance by default, so confirming your liability coverage before picking up your Budget rental is especially important.
CDW/LDW does not cover third-party liability, and LIS/ALI/SLI does not cover damage to the rental vehicle itself. Review your booking confirmation to see exactly which protections are included in your New Hampshire Budget rate, and consider adding any missing coverage at checkout or at the counter.
What is the fuel policy for Budget rentals in New Hampshire?
Budget rentals in New Hampshire follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy by default. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid fuel charges.
To avoid fuel fees on your New Hampshire Budget 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
- 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
- For after-hours returns at Manchester Airport, leave the receipt in the return envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge
If you return the Budget vehicle in New Hampshire below the recorded fuel level, 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. Some Budget counter locations may offer a prepaid fuel option; if you accept it, any unused fuel is generally non-refundable.
Can I add an additional driver to my Budget rental in New Hampshire?
Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Budget rental in New Hampshire, but fees and conditions apply depending on your rate.
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 New Hampshire charges US$13 per rental day plus taxes for each additional driver, with a maximum of US$65 plus taxes per rental period.
Requirements for adding a driver at the Budget counter in New Hampshire:
- The additional driver must be present at pick-up with a valid driver's license
- They must meet the minimum age requirement (generally 25 for Budget; a young driver surcharge applies for ages 21 to 24)
- For Budget and Payless, additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old at pick-up
- 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/LDW and liability coverage. Anyone who drives the New Hampshire Budget rental without being named on the contract may void those protections and result in additional charges.
What travel assistance is included with my Budget rental booking in New Hampshire?
Most bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection, which can be valuable if you experience an emergency during your Budget rental in New Hampshire, such as a breakdown on the F.E. Everett Turnpike or a medical situation in a more remote part of the state.
Coverage typically includes:
- Travel and medical insurance for up to 5 passengers
- Legal assistance in case of an accident
- Compensation for luggage lost by the airline
- Flight cancellation insurance
To reach the assistance line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, call +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free) or contact via WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call.
Important: this travel assistance benefit applies only to non-North American customers. Residents of the United States and Canada do not qualify for this coverage. It also does not cover damage to the Budget rental vehicle itself (that is handled by CDW/LDW) or third-party liability (covered by LIS/ALI/SLI). Check your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your New Hampshire trip.
Can I pick up a Budget car in New Hampshire and return it in a different state?
Yes, one-way rentals are generally permitted with Budget in New Hampshire, allowing you to pick up at a location such as Manchester-Boston Regional Airport and return the vehicle in another state. However, a drop-off fee may apply depending on the route.
Key points to know before booking a one-way Budget rental from New Hampshire:
- The drop-off fee is route-specific and varies by destination, vehicle class, and season
- The fee is listed under the "To pay at destination" section during the Hola Car Rentals checkout process and on your booking confirmation
- The drop-off fee cannot be prepaid and is settled at the Budget counter
- Cross-border one-ways (for example, driving into Canada) may be restricted or carry higher fees; confirm with Budget before booking
If no drop-off fee appears during checkout for your selected New Hampshire Budget route, no fee applies for that specific itinerary. Changing your return location after booking may reprice the rental and add or increase the drop-off fee. Always review your confirmation to verify the exact amount due at the New Hampshire Budget counter before your trip.
