No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Dollar booking in Connecticut 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 Dollar 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 Dollar counter in Connecticut 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 Dollar 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)

Dollar operates at several locations across Connecticut, covering both airport and neighborhood options.

• Bradley International Airport (BDL) in Windsor Locks, at 180 Schoephoester Rd, is the primary airport location serving the Hartford area
• Danbury, at 1 Tooley Ln
• Manchester
• West Hartford
• New Haven, at 1 George St
• Wolcott
• Stamford

If you are arriving by air, the Dollar counter at Bradley International Airport is the most convenient option. For off-airport rentals in Connecticut, the neighborhood locations listed above serve major cities and suburbs across the state. Check your booking confirmation for the exact address of your chosen Dollar pick-up point.

At Bradley International Airport (BDL) in Windsor Locks, Connecticut, the Dollar counter is located outside the terminal at 180 Schoephoester Rd. After arriving, follow the airport signs toward car rentals and proceed to the shuttle stop. The shuttle will take you to the Dollar pick-up area where you collect your vehicle.

To make the process smooth, bring the following physical documents to the Dollar counter:

• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
• A valid, original driver's license (not a digital copy)
• A physical major credit card in the main driver's name, with the name printed on the card, for the security deposit
• Your passport or government-issued photo ID
• Round-trip flight tickets if you are visiting Connecticut from abroad

If your driver's license uses a non-Latin alphabet (such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic), you must also bring an International Driving Permit alongside your original license.

No, Connecticut itself does not have state-operated toll roads, so you will not encounter tolls while driving within the state on your Dollar rental.

However, tolls do apply if you drive into neighboring states from Connecticut. Common toll situations include:

• Crossing into New York, where the I-95 corridor, the Mario Cuomo Bridge, and the New York Thruway have cashless tolls
• Entering Massachusetts via the Massachusetts Turnpike
• Using toll bridges or tunnels in the broader Northeast region

All of these systems are cashless and use E-ZPass or plate-based billing. Your Dollar rental vehicle in Connecticut comes equipped with an electronic toll device. If you drive through a cashless toll without enrolling in a toll program, Dollar will bill the toll at the cash rate plus an administrative fee per usage day. To avoid surprise charges, ask about the toll program options at the Dollar counter before leaving Connecticut for a neighboring state.

Yes, every Dollar rental booked through Hola Car Rentals in Connecticut includes the Tolls Cashback benefit, which reimburses up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your rental.

Since Connecticut has no internal toll roads, this benefit is most useful if your Dollar rental takes you into neighboring states such as New York or Massachusetts, where cashless toll systems like E-ZPass are active.

To claim your cashback after returning your Dollar rental in Connecticut:

• Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle
• Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback, followed by your reservation confirmation number
• Attach your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation, the signed rental agreement from Dollar, and a toll receipt or statement showing 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 are not accepted.

To collect your Dollar rental car at any Connecticut location, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:

• Your original, unexpired driver's license (digital copies are not accepted)
• A physical major credit card in the main driver's name, with the name printed on the card, for the security deposit hold
• A valid passport or government-issued photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets if you are visiting Connecticut from abroad

If your driver's license is not in English and does not use a Latin alphabet (for example, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script), you must also carry an International Driving Permit 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 the Dollar counter in Connecticut. Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined.

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

For standard vehicles rented in the United States, typical holds range from US$300 to US$400. Premium or specialty vehicle classes may carry higher holds. The exact amount is set by Dollar at the Connecticut location and may vary by vehicle class, rental duration, and season.

Important points to keep in mind:

• Only a physical major credit card in the main driver's name, with the name printed on the card, is accepted for the deposit
• Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted
• After returning your Dollar rental in Connecticut, the hold is released, but your bank may take up to 15 business days to reflect the release
• Notify your bank of your travel to Connecticut to prevent the authorization from being flagged as suspicious

Yes, you can return your Dollar rental to a different location in Connecticut, but a one-way drop-off fee may apply depending on the route.

Dollar operates multiple locations across Connecticut, including Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Danbury, Manchester, West Hartford, New Haven, Wolcott, and Stamford. Returning between these locations may or may not trigger a drop-off fee depending on the specific cities involved and the vehicle class.

Here is what to expect:

• The drop-off fee, if applicable, is shown during the booking process under the section labeled as charges due at destination
• This fee is not prepaid and is not covered by No Extra Charges© unless it was not disclosed at the time of booking
• Changing your return location after booking may reprice the rental and recalculate any applicable fee

Always review your booking confirmation before picking up your Dollar rental in Connecticut to confirm whether a one-way fee applies to your specific route.

The minimum age to rent a Dollar car in Connecticut without a young-renter surcharge is 25. Drivers between 21 and 24 years old can rent but will be charged an additional daily underage fee at the Dollar counter.

For Dollar, Hertz, and Thrifty, the young-renter surcharge is US$13.50 per rental day plus applicable taxes, with a maximum charge of US$189 plus taxes.

Additional restrictions for under-25 renters in Connecticut include:

• Most vehicle classes are restricted to drivers aged 25 and older, including full-size sedans, SUVs, minivans, luxury, and premium categories
• Drivers aged 21 to 24 are generally limited to economy, compact, and intermediate vehicle classes
• A physical major credit card in the main driver's name is still required for the security deposit

Connecticut does not have the same state-law exception as New York or Michigan, so the standard Dollar policy applies. If you are under 25 and planning to rent in Connecticut, confirm your eligibility and vehicle class options before booking.

Yes, Dollar charges an additional driver fee in Connecticut unless your booking confirmation explicitly states that an additional driver is included at no charge.

For Dollar rentals in Connecticut, the additional driver fee is US$13.50 per rental day plus applicable taxes, with a maximum charge of US$189 plus taxes for the rental period.

To add an additional driver to your Dollar rental in Connecticut:

• The additional driver must be present at the Dollar counter at pick-up
• They must present a valid driver's license and any required identification
• If their license uses a non-Latin alphabet, an International Driving Permit is also required
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement

Only drivers listed on the rental agreement are covered by the vehicle's protections. Anyone who drives a Dollar rental in Connecticut without being named on the contract may void coverage and result in additional charges.

Dollar rentals in Connecticut 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 fees on your Dollar rental in Connecticut:

• Check the fuel gauge with the Dollar 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 before leaving the lot
• Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the return location, whether that is Bradley International Airport or a neighborhood Dollar location in Connecticut
• Keep your final fuel receipt as proof in case of a dispute

If you return the vehicle below the recorded starting level, Dollar may charge you for the fuel shortfall at their refueling rate, which is typically higher than the retail pump price, plus a service fee. For after-hours returns at Connecticut Dollar locations, leave the receipt in the key envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge on your phone.

Yes, you can generally drive your Dollar rental from Connecticut into other U.S. states, provided your rental agreement permits interstate travel.

Most standard Dollar rentals in Connecticut allow driving across state lines within the continental United States. However, there are important points to confirm before crossing state borders:

• Review your rental agreement at the Dollar counter in Connecticut to confirm that interstate driving is permitted
• Cross-border travel to Canada or Mexico is typically restricted or requires advance approval and may carry additional fees
• Driving into New York or Massachusetts from Connecticut will expose you to cashless toll roads, so understand the toll billing options on your Dollar rental before you go
• One-way rentals that involve picking up in Connecticut and dropping off in another state may incur a drop-off fee, which will be shown on your booking confirmation

Always check your rental agreement and booking confirmation for any geographic restrictions specific to your Dollar rental in Connecticut.

Important: This Travel Assistance benefit does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada.

Check your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your Connecticut rental.

When renting a Dollar car in Connecticut, the total cost shown at pick-up may include several local taxes and fees beyond the base rental rate. These vary depending on whether you pick up at an airport location like Bradley International Airport or at a neighborhood location in cities such as Danbury, New Haven, or Stamford.

Common charges that may appear on your Dollar rental agreement in Connecticut include:

• State and local rental taxes
• Airport concession recovery fees at Bradley International Airport
• Customer facility charges at airport locations
• Vehicle license recovery fees

If your booking confirmation shows that taxes and fees are included in your prepaid rate, you should not be billed again for those items at the Dollar counter in Connecticut. If a charge appears that was not disclosed on your confirmation, document it carefully and contact support after the rental is complete. Hola Car Rentals No Extra Charges© coverage addresses undisclosed or incorrectly billed counter charges after verification.

Review the section of your booking confirmation labeled as charges due at destination to understand exactly what will be owed locally when you collect your Dollar rental in Connecticut.
