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

The Dollar rental counter at Edmonton International Airport (YEG) is located on the ground level of the parkade at 1000 Airport Road, Leduc, AB, T9E 8B7.

After collecting your baggage, follow the overhead signs for "Rental Cars" or "Ground Transportation" to exit the terminal. The Dollar counter is across the street via a short, covered walkway, so no shuttle or train is needed. Once at the counter, you will receive your rental agreement and a key fob indicating your specific stall number in the parkade. The facility is well-lit and clearly signed, making late-night arrivals straightforward.

When returning your Dollar vehicle in Edmonton, follow the dedicated "Rental Car Return" overhead signs into the parkade, park in the designated area, and drop your keys at the Dollar return desk inside the parkade. The covered walkway then connects you back to the departures level.

No, there are no toll roads anywhere in Alberta, so driving your Dollar rental in Edmonton or anywhere else in the province involves zero toll charges.

Alberta has no toll roads province-wide, meaning there are no transponders, cashless toll lanes, congestion charges, or emissions zones to worry about. You will not encounter systems like E-ZPass, 407 ETR, or any city-center driving fee similar to those found in other regions. Recent government infrastructure investments in Edmonton, including improvements to Deerfoot Trail and Yellowhead Trail, have not introduced any tolls.

If you plan to drive your Dollar rental beyond Alberta into a neighboring province that does have toll roads, keep your receipts. All bookings include Tolls Cashback, which lets you claim up to 5% of your total booking value back for tolls paid during the rental. Submit your claim to [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle.

To pick up your Dollar rental in Edmonton, 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 (debit and prepaid cards are not accepted in Canada)
• 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 and does not use a Latin alphabet (for example, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script), an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory alongside your original license. For licenses in other non-English scripts, an IDP is strongly recommended. The IDP is a translation only and is not valid without your original license.

Note that in Canada, Dollar and other rental partners do not accept debit cards to qualify for the rental or cover the security deposit. Bring a major credit card with sufficient available credit for the hold, which is typically CAD 300 to CAD 750 at Edmonton locations.

Because Alberta has no toll roads, you will not pay any tolls during a typical Dollar rental in Edmonton. However, if your trip takes you beyond Alberta into a province with toll roads, Tolls Cashback still applies to your booking.

Every booking includes Tolls Cashback, which reimburses you up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during the rental period. Here is how to claim it after your Edmonton trip:

• Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning your Dollar vehicle
• 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
• Include your full name, travel dates, and the last four digits of the card used for the booking

Refunds are processed to the original payment method and typically arrive within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Claims submitted after 30 days are not accepted.

Yes, Edmonton has several road changes that can catch first-time visitors off guard in a Dollar rental, particularly in central areas and on major routes.

The Valley Line West LRT has permanently altered several roads:

• Stony Plain Road has been reduced to one lane in each direction in affected sections
• 102 Avenue between 107 Street and 102 Street is now eastbound-only
• The intersection of Stony Plain Road at 136 Street has been fully closed to north and south traffic since September 2025
• Left turns across LRT tracks are banned at many signalized spots, requiring U-turns or rerouting

On the ring road, Anthony Henday Drive (Highway 216) uses combination interchanges with high-speed left-turn ramps that differ from standard highway diamonds. The Yellowhead Trail freeway conversion has removed several at-grade signals and replaced them with grade-separated interchanges, but some crossings no longer exist, so plan your route before driving.

LRT trains share road lanes in central Edmonton at traffic speeds, so cross tracks only at signalized crossings. Using a GPS or navigation app updated with current Edmonton road data is strongly recommended when driving your Dollar rental in the city.

Yes, a major credit card in the main driver's name with the driver's name printed on the card is required to pick up a Dollar rental in Edmonton.

Dollar accepts major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Diners Club, and Discover. In Canada, debit cards are not accepted to qualify for the rental or to cover the security deposit hold. Prepaid cards and virtual or digital-wallet-only cards are also not accepted at the counter.

At pickup, Dollar will place a temporary authorization hold on your card. For Edmonton rentals, this is typically CAD 300 to CAD 750 depending on the vehicle class and location. This hold reduces your available credit until your bank releases it after the rental closes, which can take up to 15 business days.

To avoid issues at the Dollar counter in Edmonton, notify your bank of your travel plans in advance, confirm the card is enabled for in-person transactions in Canada, and bring a backup credit card in your own name.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Dollar rental in Edmonton, but the additional driver must be present at the counter at the time of pickup.

Requirements for adding an additional driver at the Dollar counter in Edmonton:

• The additional driver must appear in person and present a valid driver's license
• They must sign the rental agreement
• They must meet the minimum age requirements for the rental
• If their license is not in English or uses a non-Latin alphabet, an IDP is required

If your booking confirmation states "Additional driver free of charge" or "Additional driver included," no fee applies for the first extra driver. If it is not included, Dollar charges CAD 13.50 per rental day plus taxes, with a maximum cap of CAD 189 plus taxes for Edmonton rentals.

Only drivers listed on the rental agreement are covered by protections such as CDW and liability coverage. Anyone who drives the Dollar vehicle in Edmonton without being named on the contract may void those protections.

Dollar rentals in Edmonton follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.

Steps to follow for a smooth fuel return in Edmonton:

• At pickup, check the fuel gauge with the Dollar agent 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 15 km of the Edmonton International Airport return facility before dropping off the vehicle
• Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address
• For after-hours returns, leave the receipt in the key envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge

If you return the Dollar vehicle in Edmonton 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. Using the correct fuel type is also important, as wrong-fuel incidents are not covered by the fuel policy.

Yes, most bookings include Travel Assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection, which can help in situations such as a breakdown or accident while driving your Dollar rental in or around Edmonton.

This benefit is designed for travelers visiting from outside North America. Please note that Canadian and US residents do not qualify for this coverage.

Travel Assistance typically covers:

• Medical coverage for up to 5 passengers in the event of an accident or non-pre-existing illness
• Legal assistance in the event of an accident involving your Dollar rental in Edmonton
• Compensation for baggage lost by the airline
• Flight cancellation insurance

If you need assistance while driving your Dollar rental in the Edmonton area, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day, 7 days a week:

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

Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call. This coverage does not replace CDW for damage to the rental vehicle or LIS for third-party liability.

Yes, one-way rentals are available through Dollar, allowing you to pick up in Edmonton and return the vehicle at a different location.

A drop-off fee may apply depending on the route. This fee is set by Dollar and varies based on the destination city, distance, vehicle class, and season. You can see whether a drop-off fee applies during the booking process under the "To pay at destination" section before confirming your reservation.

Key points to keep in mind for a one-way Dollar rental from Edmonton:

• The drop-off fee is paid at the counter and cannot be prepaid online
• Changing your return location after booking may reprice the rental and recalculate the fee
• Cross-border one-ways (for example, from Edmonton to a US city) may be restricted or carry higher fees depending on Dollar's policies
• Vehicle availability for one-way routes is not guaranteed and should be confirmed at booking

If the drop-off fee shown at the Dollar counter in Edmonton differs from what appeared on your booking confirmation, keep all paperwork and contact support, as No Extra Charges© coverage may apply to undisclosed fees.

When picking up a Dollar rental in Edmonton, you have access to several insurance and protection options that cover different risks.

Key coverages to understand:

• Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): reduces your financial liability for damage to or theft of the Dollar rental vehicle. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation states zero deductible. This does 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 your Dollar rental in Edmonton. Under Canadian provincial law, a statutory minimum third-party liability is included by default when you rent in Canada. You can purchase higher supplemental limits if needed.
• Personal Accident Insurance (PAI): covers your own injuries and those of passengers. This is separate from CDW and LIS.

Review your booking confirmation carefully to see which coverages are already included in your rate. At the Dollar counter in Edmonton, verify that the rental agreement matches your confirmation before signing. If you are unsure whether a coverage is mandatory or optional, ask the agent to itemize each charge.

When you pick up your Dollar rental in Edmonton, a temporary authorization hold will be placed on your credit card as a security deposit. For most standard vehicles rented in Canada, this is typically CAD 300 to CAD 500, though some Edmonton locations may hold up to approximately CAD 750.

Important details about the deposit hold:

• The hold is a temporary authorization, not a charge, but it reduces your available credit until released
• Only a major credit card in the main driver's name with the driver's name printed on the card is accepted. Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted at the Dollar counter in Edmonton
• Higher holds may apply for premium or larger vehicle classes
• After you return the Dollar vehicle in Edmonton and the contract closes, the hold is released. Your bank controls when it appears back on your account, which can take up to 15 business days

To prepare, notify your bank before traveling to Edmonton, confirm your card is enabled for in-person transactions in Canada, and bring a backup credit card in your own name in case your primary card is declined.

If your flight to Edmonton is delayed, Dollar will generally hold your reservation for up to 24 hours from the original scheduled pickup time, so a short delay should not cause you to lose your booking.

What to expect depending on the length of the delay:

• Delay under 24 hours: your Dollar reservation in Edmonton should be held. Make sure you arrive during the counter's operating hours, as after-hours pickup availability may vary at the Edmonton International Airport location
• Delay over 24 hours: contact support as soon as possible via WhatsApp at +1 (786) 999-8312 or by email at [email protected]. Changes are not guaranteed but the team will assist where possible

If you arrive at the Dollar counter in Edmonton outside of staffed hours, the facility at Edmonton International Airport is well-lit and signage remains visible, but confirm after-hours pickup arrangements in advance if your arrival is very late. Your booking confirmation is the best reference for counter hours and any specific instructions for your Dollar reservation in Edmonton.
