No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Hertz booking in New Jersey 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 Hertz 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 Hertz counter in New Jersey 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 Hertz 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 Hertz counter at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in New Jersey is located at 132 Carson Road, Newark, NJ 07114, inside Building 23 on the airport grounds.

When you arrive at EWR, follow the car rental signs toward the rental car facilities. Hertz operates directly at the airport, so you will not need to take a long off-site shuttle. If you are unsure of the exact route from your terminal, ask airport staff or check the signage for the rental car area directing you to Building 23.

Hertz also maintains a separate downtown Newark location at 589 Ferry Street for renters who prefer a city pickup rather than the airport. A Jersey City location is available as well, giving you off-airport options that may carry lower fees than the airport site.

To pick up a Hertz rental car in New Jersey, you must bring the following physical documents to 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 physical card, 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 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 other non-English licenses, an IDP is strongly recommended. The IDP is a translation only and cannot be used without your original license.

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

New Jersey roads are heavily tolled, and nearly all toll collection is cashless, so understanding how tolls work before picking up your Hertz rental in New Jersey is important.

The main tolled routes you are likely to use include:

• New Jersey Turnpike (Philadelphia to New York City, 78 miles): E-ZPass rates start at approximately US$0.95, increasing with distance
• Garden State Parkway (Cape May to Montvale, 172 miles): E-ZPass rates start at approximately US$1.90
• Atlantic City Expressway: full-length fare approximately US$5.50

Your Hertz vehicle in New Jersey will include an electronic toll device. At pickup you can choose between two options:

• Unlimited toll package: typically US$11 to US$25 per rental day, covering all tolls during the rental
• Pay per use: the actual toll amount plus daily or administrative processing fees billed after the rental

If you opt out of the Hertz toll program and drive a cashless-only gantry without your own transponder, New Jersey law allows the rental company to charge up to three times the toll cost, capped at US$5 per toll, in addition to the toll itself. Toll-By-Plate rates are also higher than E-ZPass rates. Many toll charges post days or even weeks after the rental ends.

Yes, you can get cashback on tolls paid during your Hertz rental in New Jersey through the Tolls Cashback benefit included with all Hola Car Rentals bookings.

Given that New Jersey has some of the highest toll exposure in the United States, especially around the New Jersey Turnpike, Garden State Parkway, and NYC-area bridges and tunnels, this benefit can add up meaningfully. The reimbursement covers up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during the rental period.

For example, if your booking total is US$600, the cap is US$30. If you paid US$18 in tolls, you receive US$18 back. If you paid US$50, you receive US$30 (the cap).

To claim your cashback after returning your Hertz vehicle in New Jersey:

• Email [email protected] within 30 days of vehicle return
• Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback - HOLA followed by your confirmation number
• Attach your Hola Car Rentals reservation confirmation, the signed rental agreement, and a toll receipt or statement showing charges paid

Refunds are issued to the original payment method and typically process within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Late submissions received after 30 days are not accepted.

No, New Jersey itself does not have a congestion charge or emissions zone fee. There is no equivalent to London's ULEZ or similar city-center driving surcharges anywhere in New Jersey for your Hertz rental.

However, if you drive your Hertz rental from New Jersey into Manhattan, New York City's Congestion Relief Zone applies. This zone covers most of Manhattan south of and including 60th Street, down to the southern tip of the island. Entering this area on local streets triggers a daily fee of approximately US$8.99 plus taxes and fees, billed through the vehicle's toll device.

You can travel on the FDR Drive or the West Side Highway (Route 9A) without being charged, as long as you do not exit onto local streets within the zone. Cameras automatically detect vehicles entering the area, so there are no traditional toll booths to watch for.

If you plan to drive your Hertz rental between New Jersey and Manhattan, factor this congestion fee into your Budget alongside the bridge and tunnel tolls, which typically range from US$15 to US$25 or more per crossing.

The minimum age to rent a car from Hertz in New Jersey without a young-renter surcharge is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent but will be charged a daily young-renter surcharge, and most vehicle classes are restricted to renters aged 25 and older.

For Hertz in New Jersey, the young-renter surcharge is approximately US$13.50 per rental day plus taxes, with a maximum charge of US$189 plus taxes for the rental period.

Vehicle classes typically restricted to renters under 25 include full-size sedans, full-size SUVs, minivans, vans, convertibles, luxury, and premium categories. Economy, compact, and intermediate vehicles are generally available to younger renters.

New Jersey is not New York or Michigan, so the standard Hertz policy applies: the minimum age is 21 (not 18). Renters under 21 cannot rent from Hertz in New Jersey.

Regardless of age, all renters must present a valid driver's license and a major credit card in the main driver's name with the name printed on the physical card for the security deposit hold.

When picking up a Hertz rental in New Jersey, a temporary authorization hold is placed on your credit card at the counter. For standard vehicles in the United States, this hold is typically around US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount varies by vehicle class, location, and season.

Premium or specialty vehicles may carry a higher hold. The Hertz counter at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey may also apply airport-specific rules that affect the deposit amount.

A few important points to keep in mind:

• The hold is a temporary authorization, not a charge. It reduces your available credit until your bank releases it after the rental ends
• Banks can take up to 15 business days to reflect the release, sometimes longer
• Only a physical major credit card in the main driver's name with the name printed on the card is accepted. Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted for the deposit
• Bring a backup credit card in case your primary card is declined

If your card is issued outside the United States, set a travel notice with your bank before arriving at the Hertz counter in New Jersey to avoid fraud blocks on the authorization.

Renting from Hertz at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey means your total cost will include several fees and taxes on top of the base rate. These are standard charges at New Jersey airport locations and are not unique to Hertz.

Typical charges you can expect include:

• New Jersey state sales tax: 6.625%
• Vehicle rental tax: typically 5% to 10% depending on the location
• Airport concession recovery fee (ACRF): typically 8% to 12% of the base rate at New Jersey airport locations like Newark
• Customer facility charge (CFC): typically US$3 to US$7 per day

Off-airport Hertz locations in New Jersey, such as the downtown Newark or Jersey City sites, generally avoid the airport concession and facility charges, which can make them 10% to 30% cheaper on a base-rate comparison. However, you will need to arrange your own transportation to those locations from the airport.

Your booking confirmation will show which taxes and fees are included in your prepaid rate and which are due at the Hertz counter in New Jersey. Review the confirmation carefully before pickup so there are no surprises.

Yes, most bookings include Travel Assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection, which can be valuable if something goes wrong during your Hertz rental in New Jersey, whether on the New Jersey Turnpike, the Garden State Parkway, or anywhere else in the state.

Core benefits typically included are:

• Travel insurance with medical coverage for up to 5 passengers
• Legal assistance in case of an accident
• Compensation for luggage lost by the airline
• Flight cancellation insurance

This coverage is designed for travelers renting abroad and applies to non-North American customers. Residents of the United States and Canada do not qualify for this benefit.

If you need assistance during your Hertz rental in New Jersey, 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 full name, Hola Car Rentals confirmation number, current location, and a brief description of the situation ready when you call. Always check your booking confirmation for the exact coverage terms and limits that apply to your reservation.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Hertz rental in New Jersey, either at no cost if your rate includes it or for a daily fee paid at the counter.

For Hertz in New Jersey, the additional driver fee is approximately US$13.50 per rental day plus taxes, with a maximum charge of US$189 plus taxes for the full rental period. Check your booking confirmation to see whether an additional driver is already included in your rate before arriving at the counter.

Requirements for adding an additional driver at the Hertz counter in New Jersey:

• The additional driver must be physically present at pickup
• They must present a valid driver's license and meet the same document requirements as the main driver
• If their license uses a non-Latin alphabet, an International Driving Permit is required
• They must meet the minimum age requirement (21 for Hertz in New Jersey, with a surcharge for drivers aged 21 to 24)
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement

Only drivers listed on the Hertz rental agreement in New Jersey are covered by protections such as CDW/LDW and liability coverage. Anyone not named on the contract who drives the vehicle may void those protections.

Hertz rentals in New Jersey 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 extra costs at the end of your Hertz rental in New Jersey:

• 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 or 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 Hertz vehicle in New Jersey 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 the retail pump price, plus a refueling service fee.

The Hertz counter in New Jersey may also offer a Prepaid Fuel option at pickup. If you accept it, you pay for a full tank upfront and do not need to refuel before return, but any unused fuel is generally non-refundable. The Full-to-Full policy is usually the better value if you plan to refuel near the return location.

Yes, you can generally pick up a Hertz rental in New Jersey and drop it off in another state, but a one-way drop-off fee may apply depending on the route.

Common patterns for one-way rentals from New Jersey with Hertz:

• New Jersey to a nearby state such as New York or Pennsylvania: a drop-off fee often applies and varies by distance and vehicle class
• New Jersey to a distant state: a drop-off fee almost always applies and can be significant
• Same-city airport to downtown or vice versa: often no drop-off fee

The drop-off fee is route-specific and is set by Hertz, not by Hola Car Rentals. It will be shown during the booking process under the section labeled as charges due at the destination. Review your booking confirmation to confirm whether a fee applies to your specific route before pickup.

This fee cannot be prepaid and is paid directly at the Hertz counter in New Jersey or at the return location. It is separate from fuel, tolls, and taxes.

If you need to change your drop-off location after booking, contact support as soon as possible, since mid-rental route changes must be approved by the Hertz location and may increase the fee or affect availability.

If your flight is delayed and you arrive late to pick up your Hertz rental in New Jersey, the rental company will generally hold your booking for up to 24 hours from the original scheduled pickup time.

Here is what to expect depending on the length of the delay:

• Delay of less than 24 hours: Hertz in New Jersey will hold your reservation. Make sure you arrive during the counter's service hours, as after-hours availability may be limited at the Newark airport location
• Delay of more than 24 hours: Contact Hola Car Rentals support as soon as possible via WhatsApp at +1 (786) 999-8312 or by email at [email protected]. Changes in this situation are not guaranteed but the team will assist where possible

If you arrive after the Hertz counter at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey has closed, check your booking confirmation for any after-hours instructions or key-drop procedures. Not all locations offer after-hours pickup, so confirming this in advance is recommended if your flight arrives late at night.

To avoid losing your reservation entirely, do not wait until you land to act. Contact support as soon as you know your delay will exceed 24 hours.
