On top of that, every Hola Car Rentals booking includes the No Extra Charges© guarantee.

If that happens, Hola Car Rentals will work with Hertz to remove or reimburse the charge after verification.
The only costs outside this guarantee are:

Where is the Hertz counter at Abbotsford Airport?
The Hertz counter at Abbotsford International Airport (YXX) is located directly on-site at 30440 Liberator Ave, Abbotsford, BC V2T 6H5. No shuttle or transfer is required after you exit the terminal. The airport counter operates daily from 07:30 to 23:59, making it accessible for most flight arrivals including late-evening ones.
Hertz also operates a second location in downtown Abbotsford at 33271 S Fraser Way, approximately 3.2 miles from the airport. That city-center branch keeps more limited hours: Monday through Friday 07:30 to 18:37, Saturday 09:00 to 12:37, and is closed on Sundays. If you plan to pick up from the downtown Hertz location after arriving at Abbotsford Airport, you will need to arrange your own transport to reach it, as it is not within walking distance of the terminal.
For most travelers flying into Abbotsford, the on-site airport counter is the most convenient option for a smooth, direct pickup.
What documents do I need to pick up a Hertz rental car in Abbotsford?
To collect your Hertz rental in Abbotsford, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:
- A valid, unexpired driver's license in the main driver's name. If your license is not in English or uses a non-Latin alphabet (for example, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic), an International Driving Permit (IDP) is required as a translation alongside your original license.
- A physical major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card and sufficient available credit to cover the security deposit hold. Digital wallets and virtual cards are not accepted.
- Your passport or valid government-issued photo ID.
- Your booking confirmation or printed voucher.
All documents must be originals. Copies and digital versions are not accepted at the Hertz counter in Abbotsford. If any document is missing or expired, Hertz may deny the rental and no refund will apply.
Do I need an International Driving Permit to rent from Hertz in Abbotsford?
It depends on your license. When renting from Hertz in Abbotsford, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory if your driver's license uses a non-Latin alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic. In that case, you must carry both your original license and the IDP together.
If your license is in English or uses a Latin alphabet, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required. However, having one can prevent delays or disputes at the Hertz counter in Abbotsford, particularly if the agent cannot verify your license details.
Important: the IDP is a translation document only. It is not a standalone license and will not be accepted without your original license. You must obtain the IDP in your home country before traveling, as it cannot be issued abroad.
Are there toll roads near Abbotsford that affect my Hertz rental?
Most roads in and around Abbotsford and British Columbia are toll-free. However, if you drive your Hertz rental toward Vancouver, you may encounter the Port Mann Bridge, which is the only active tolled crossing in BC. It operates on a fully cashless, plate-based system, meaning there are no cash booths and charges are captured by camera and linked to the vehicle's license plate.
Hertz offers a PlatePass program for cashless toll roads. If you use the Port Mann Bridge without enrolling in a toll program, Hertz will receive the invoice from the toll authority and bill the toll amount plus administrative processing fees to your credit card, often several weeks after the rental ends.
To avoid unexpected charges on your Hertz rental from Abbotsford, ask about PlatePass at the counter if you plan to drive toward Vancouver. Alternatively, you can avoid the Port Mann Bridge entirely by using other routes, though that may add travel time.
How does the Tolls Cashback benefit work for Hertz rentals in Abbotsford?
Yes, all bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include Tolls Cashback, which applies to your Hertz rental in Abbotsford even though most local roads are toll-free.
If you drive toward Vancouver and use the Port Mann Bridge, or encounter any other toll during your rental period, you can claim back up to 5% of your total Hola Car Rentals booking value for tolls paid. The reimbursement covers the lesser of the actual tolls paid or the 5% cap.
To claim your cashback after returning your Hertz vehicle in Abbotsford:
- Email [email protected] within 30 days of vehicle return.
- Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback - followed by your reservation number.
- Attach your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation, the Hertz rental agreement, and a receipt or statement showing the toll charges.
Refunds are issued to the original payment method and typically process within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Late submissions beyond 30 days are not accepted.
How much is the security deposit for a Hertz rental in Abbotsford?
When you pick up your Hertz rental in Abbotsford, a temporary authorization hold is placed on your physical credit card. For rentals in Canada, this hold is typically between CAD 300 and CAD 500, though some Hertz locations may require a minimum authorization of approximately CAD 750, particularly for premium vehicle classes or longer rentals.
This is not a charge. It is a temporary hold that reduces your available credit until Hertz releases it after you return the vehicle. Your bank controls how quickly the hold disappears from your statement, which can take up to 15 business days after release.
- Only a physical major credit card in the main driver's name is accepted for the deposit. Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted.
- If you did not purchase a Damage Waiver, the hold may be higher to cover the deductible.
- Bring a backup credit card in case your primary card is declined.
Hola Car Rentals cannot confirm the exact hold amount in advance, as final deposit rules are set by the Hertz counter in Abbotsford at the time of pickup.
What is the young driver surcharge for Hertz rentals in Abbotsford?
Yes, Hertz applies a young driver surcharge in Abbotsford for renters between the ages of 20 and 24. The fee is CAD 15 per day plus applicable taxes, payable locally at the counter for the full duration of the rental.
In British Columbia, the minimum rental age at Hertz is 20 years old. Drivers under 20 cannot rent. Note that drivers under 25 are generally not permitted to rent Dream, Adrenaline, or Prestige Collection vehicles from Hertz, regardless of location.
If you are adding a young driver as an additional driver to your Abbotsford Hertz reservation, the same daily surcharge applies to them as well. All additional drivers must be present at the counter with a valid driver's license and credit card at the time of pickup.
What insurance coverage is included with a Hertz rental in Abbotsford?
When booking a Hertz rental in Abbotsford through Hola Car Rentals, the coverage included depends on the rate plan selected. Under a Canada All Inclusive rate, Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) is typically included, which reduces your financial liability for damage to or theft of the rental vehicle, subject to any applicable deductible.
Third-party liability coverage is required by provincial law in British Columbia and is included by default with every Hertz rental in Abbotsford. This covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving.
Optional coverages available for purchase at the Hertz counter in Abbotsford include:
- Damage Deductible Waiver (DW) at approximately CAD 11.99 per day, which reduces your excess to zero.
- Personal Accident Insurance (PAI) covering accidental death benefits up to CAD 100,000 per accident.
- Roadside Safety Net (RSN) at approximately CAD 13.99 per day.
- Premium Emergency Roadside Service (PERS) at approximately CAD 9.99 per day.
Always review your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation and the Hertz rental agreement at pickup to confirm exactly what is included in your specific rate.
Can I add an additional driver to my Hertz reservation in Abbotsford?
Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Hertz rental in Abbotsford, but the additional driver must be physically present at the counter at the time of pickup with their own valid driver's license and credit card.
For Hertz rentals in Abbotsford, the additional driver fee is CAD 13.50 per day plus taxes, with a maximum charge of CAD 189.00 per rental period. Some Hola Car Rentals rate plans include one additional driver at no extra cost. Check your booking confirmation to see whether this is already included.
- The additional driver must meet the same minimum age requirement of 20 years old in British Columbia.
- Drivers aged 20 to 24 will also be subject to the young driver surcharge of CAD 15 per day.
- Drivers under 25 cannot be added to Hertz Dream, Adrenaline, or Prestige Collection vehicles in Abbotsford.
- Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement at the Hertz counter.
Any driver not listed on the Hertz agreement in Abbotsford is not covered by the rental protections, including CDW/LDW.
Are winter tires available on Hertz rentals in Abbotsford?
Yes, winter tires are available on Hertz rentals in Abbotsford, but they are optional and subject to availability at the airport counter location. All Hertz vehicles come equipped with M+S (Mud and Snow) rated tires as standard in regions where they are required.
If you need dedicated winter tires for driving in and around Abbotsford during colder months, you can request them at the Hertz airport counter at 30440 Liberator Ave. Pricing is approximately:
- CAD 20.00 per day for Economy to Full Size vehicles, plus taxes and surcharges.
- CAD 25.00 per day for Premium vehicles and above, plus taxes and surcharges.
There is no stated maximum cap on the winter tire fee, so for longer rentals the cost can add up significantly. If you are traveling to higher-elevation areas outside Abbotsford, such as mountain passes, dedicated winter tires are strongly advisable during the winter season. Confirm availability directly at the Hertz counter in Abbotsford at the time of pickup, as stock is not guaranteed.
What driving conditions should I expect on Highway 1 near Abbotsford with my Hertz rental?
Driving your Hertz rental on Highway 1 through Abbotsford can be more complex than on other BC highways, particularly for first-time visitors. The McCallum Road and Clearbrook Road interchanges are undergoing major upgrades and feature non-standard designs including separate east and westbound bridges, roundabouts, and active construction detours. These can be confusing when merging with heavy local traffic.
Highway 1 is the primary east-west artery through Abbotsford, and the volume of local traffic merging at these interchanges creates bottlenecks and lane realignments that differ from more standardized highway setups elsewhere in Canada.
Several intersections in Abbotsford have also been recently upgraded with new traffic signals, turn lanes, and realigned crosswalks, which can alter sightlines and surprise drivers unfamiliar with the area. Roads such as Mt. Lehman Road, Townline Road, and George Ferguson Way have seen recent changes.
When returning your Hertz vehicle in Abbotsford, allow extra time if your route involves Highway 1 interchanges, especially during peak hours when lane merges and detours can slow progress significantly.
What is the fuel policy for Hertz rentals in Abbotsford?
Hertz rentals in Abbotsford follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy by default. This means you receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid fuel charges.
At pickup, verify the fuel level with the Hertz agent and confirm it is recorded on the rental agreement. Take a photo of the dashboard showing the gauge and odometer. If the tank is not full at pickup, the starting level must be noted on the agreement and you only need to return it at that same level.
When returning your Hertz rental in Abbotsford, refuel within approximately 10 to 15 km 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 level, Hertz will charge for the fuel shortfall at their refueling rate, which is typically higher than pump prices, plus a service fee.
- For after-hours returns at the Abbotsford location, leave the fuel receipt in the key envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge as evidence.
Does Travel Assistance apply to my Hertz rental in Abbotsford?
Travel Assistance provided through Hola Car Rentals via Terrawind Global Protection is included with most bookings, but it does not apply to residents of Canada or the United States. If you are a Canadian or American resident renting a Hertz vehicle in Abbotsford, this benefit is not available to you.
For eligible travelers, the coverage includes:
- Travel insurance with medical coverage for up to 5 passengers.
- Legal assistance in the event of an accident, which can be particularly useful if an incident occurs on Highway 1 or at one of Abbotsford's complex interchanges.
- Compensation for luggage lost by the airline.
- Flight cancellation insurance.
If you need assistance during your Hertz rental in Abbotsford and are eligible for this benefit, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day at +1 888 980 9992 or via WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call.
This coverage does not replace CDW/LDW for damage to the Hertz vehicle or third-party liability insurance.
