"I really liked the reservation screen for pickup times...side by side let's you easy match pick-up drop off. The vehicles were the best price (discounted prices for European travelers in the US at thus writing), otherwise rental car prices are rather high these days. Insurance is about peace of mind. Hola is over the top covering many of those extras the agent wants you to buy. And toll coverage up to 5%. Super. Without human attendants anymore, it's complicated in the Bay Area and particularly expensive in Miami (!) Auto companies see it as an opportunity to sell you lots of Toll coverage. Finally, what I did not notice was, "not knowing what I was renting" which is often noticed just before you press 'book'. The question did not enter my mind, that's a good thing. Their AI agent, perfectly better. Very good advice. And I did have the need to cancel and rebook. With the app, effective and bug free. One refund was credited in a hour. Another may take a few days, but will post. Also the app will display prices in the currency you select. Looking forward to booking with Hola again"

"This is not the first time we’ve rented cars through Hola, and each time we’re absolutely satisfied! Their service is excellent — always available, providing immediate responses, quickly solving any issues with kindness, and handling everything directly with the rental companies when needed. Even when a refund was required, they took care of it fully without any hassle. The personal, reliable, and professional approach makes all the difference. A fantastic experience every time, and I’ll definitely keep renting through them and highly recommend them to everyone"

"The experience was excellent, fast and easy with the least effort required to chose a car. From past experience the counter experience was favourable at Budget Miami Airport with no issues. This was the first time an agent at a rental desk did not try to sell me additional insurance or toll pass. My only concerns for this booking was the price gap was too high for standard cars compared to the basic cars."

After completing the cancellation efficiently and promptly she went above and beyond to help me with several additional questions I had. Based on my experience I would highly recommend Hola Car Rentals Customer service and would definitely use them again. Their rental prices were very competitive too."

"As a Korean, I used the app to rent a car in California. The Dollar Rent-a-Car employee at the San Francisco branch was rude and insisted I purchase additional insurance ($25 per day) because the insurance I purchased through the Hola app was inadequate. However, Hola insisted that the full coverage policy applied and helped me cancel the additional insurance I had purchased at the Dollar Rent-a-Car location. I'm satisfied with Hola's customer service, but I think the Dollar Rent-a-Car employee's practice of selling additional insurance needs to be addressed."

"Wow! My first booking with Hola didn’t just meet expectations — they absolutely exceeded them in every possible way. So much so, that I made another rental booking immediately. I’m not usually someone who takes the time to write reviews, but this experience was so exceptional that I felt compelled to share it. At first, I thought I had secured a great price — but when I carefully reviewed the list of inclusions, I was genuinely blown away. In fact, it almost seemed too good to be true. I found myself double- and triple-checking my bookings, convinced there must have been some sort of system error. But no — everything was exactly as promised, and more - with NO extra cost. What truly stood out was the reaction from others. When I shared the pricing and inclusions with the Avis desk at the airport, hotel staff, as well as family and friends, they were equally astonished. Several even asked for your details on the spot — which says everything about the incredible value and service you provide. One thing worthy of note. Avis offered upgrades which I refused on the grounds that it might change the underlying agreement and result in added costs - be careful of adding extras at the point of collection. Regardless, the vehicles reserved were excellent. You have now become my absolute first choice — my go-to destination for rentals without hesitation. Experiences like this are rare, and you’ve set a new benchmark for excellence. Please keep up the outstanding work — you’ve gained a loyal customer for life."

About renting a minivan in Downtown Miami

Minivans seat seven to eight passengers and handle Miami's highway grid well, but the pickup logistics from Downtown Miami differ from an airport rental. Several major brands operate offices in the central business district, and Hertz maintains a dedicated location for cruise ship passengers with a complimentary shuttle running to and from the cruise terminal. Avis and Budget also run shuttles from the Port of Miami to their downtown counters, departing roughly every 20 to 30 minutes. Allow 30 to 60 minutes for the rental process itself, plus an additional 30 to 45 minutes if you are connecting from the port via shuttle. Florida's expressways are entirely cashless — the SunPass electronic toll system covers every highway out of downtown, and rental companies charge a daily toll package fee; without it, each day a toll is incurred triggers a per-day admin fee on top of the toll itself. Fuel in the Miami area runs around US$4.10 to US$4.30 per gallon, so refuel before returning the vehicle to avoid the fuel service charge, which can reach US$7 to US$9 per gallon. For a minivan, budget for a deposit hold of US$400 to US$800 placed on a credit card in the primary driver's name — no debit cards are accepted. International visitors whose license uses a non-Latin script should carry an International Driving Permit alongside their original license.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does my minivan rental in Downtown Miami through Hola Car Rentals include that other companies don't offer?

Hola Car Rentals is the only premium partner of the top car rental brands operating in Downtown Miami, giving you exclusive access to our All Inclusive+ rate. This rate includes benefits that no other company can match, even when renting a minivan:

  • Free liability coverage starting at US$ 300,000 in case of an accident (applies only to certain rates and itineraries)
  • Toll cashback: recover up to 5% of the reservation's total value for toll charges incurred during your rental period
  • Premium travel medical assistance providing up to US$ 150,000 in coverage for a maximum of 5 passengers in case of a medical emergency, excluding pre-existing conditions
  • No Extra Charges© guarantee: if the counter charges you for something not listed on your confirmation and not an optional add-on you accepted, Hola Car Rentals will work to remove or reimburse the charge after verification

All of this comes at no extra cost, ensuring a fully protected minivan rental experience and peace of mind throughout your trip in Downtown Miami.

Will I face unexpected charges when I rent a minivan in Downtown Miami through Hola Car Rentals?

No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your minivan booking in Downtown Miami 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 counter.

On top of that, every Hola Car Rentals booking includes the No Extra Charges© guarantee, whether you are renting a minivan or any other vehicle class. This is a pricing guarantee (not insurance) that protects you if the counter in Downtown Miami 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 the rental partner 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)
Where do I pick up my minivan rental in Downtown Miami?

Downtown Miami has several rental counters clustered near SE 2nd Street, so no airport shuttle is needed if you are already in the city.

  • Budget: 93 SE 2nd St, Miami, FL 33131
  • Avis: 99 SE 2nd St (at SE 1st Ave), Miami, FL 33131
  • Sixt: 100 Chopin Plaza (Miami InterContinental Hotel), FL 33131, reachable via Metromover to Bayfront Park
  • Enterprise: 1717 N Bayshore Dr, Suite 120 (DoubleTree Grand Hotel), FL 33132

These Downtown Miami branches are street-level counters. Simply arrive at the address on your booking confirmation, present your documents, and collect your minivan directly at the desk. No shuttle or train is required, unlike the Miami International Airport Rental Car Center process.

What are the counter hours for minivan rentals in Downtown Miami?

Downtown Miami rental counters generally operate on more limited hours than airport locations, so plan your minivan pickup accordingly.

  • Monday to Friday: approximately 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM
  • Saturday: approximately 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM
  • Sunday: approximately 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM

Hours can vary by brand and may change on public holidays. Always confirm the exact hours on your booking confirmation before arriving to collect your minivan in Downtown Miami. After-hours pickup is generally not available at city-center branches, so if your arrival is late in the evening, consider whether an airport location with extended hours better suits your schedule.

What documents do I need to pick up a minivan rental in Downtown Miami?

To collect your minivan in Downtown Miami, bring all of the following physical documents to the counter.

  • Valid driver's license (original, unexpired, physical card)
  • International Driving Permit (IDP) if your license uses a non-Latin alphabet such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic. An IDP is a translation only and must be carried alongside your original license
  • Passport or valid government photo ID
  • Major credit card in the main driver's name, with the name printed on the card, for the security deposit hold
  • Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
  • Round-trip flight or cruise tickets (required for visitors from abroad)

All documents must be physical. Digital copies are not accepted at Downtown Miami rental counters. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit. If your license is in English or issued by an EU/EEA country, an IDP is not mandatory, though it is recommended.

How do tolls work when renting a minivan in Downtown Miami?

Florida's toll roads are almost entirely cashless, and this applies to all routes you are likely to drive from Downtown Miami. Roads such as the Florida Turnpike and I-95 Express use electronic gantries that read a transponder or photograph your license plate via Toll-by-Plate.

Your minivan rental will already include an electronic toll device. At the Downtown Miami counter you can choose between two options:

  • Unlimited toll package: a fixed daily rate of approximately US$11 to US$15 per day, covering all tolls during your rental
  • Pay-per-use: the rental company charges each toll plus an administrative processing fee, billed to your credit card, sometimes days or weeks after you return the minivan

If you prefer to use your own Florida visitor toll pass, inform the counter agent so they can deactivate the vehicle's default device and avoid duplicate charges. Estimated daily toll costs around Downtown Miami range from approximately US$5 to US$20 depending on your route.

All Hola Car Rentals bookings include Tolls Cashback, which lets you recover up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid. See FAQ below for details on how to claim.

Is there a minimum age to rent a minivan in Downtown Miami?

Yes, there is a minimum age requirement, and minivans in Downtown Miami fall into a restricted vehicle class that generally requires the main driver to be at least 25 years old.

Drivers aged 21 to 24 are subject to a daily young-renter surcharge and are typically not permitted to rent a minivan. The minivan class is explicitly listed among the restricted categories (alongside vans, convertibles, luxury, and premium vehicles) that most rental partners reserve for drivers 25 and older.

If you are between 21 and 24 and need a large vehicle for your group in Downtown Miami, contact customer service before booking to confirm availability and applicable fees. Drivers under 21 cannot rent in Florida outside of New York and Michigan exceptions, which do not apply here.

All standard requirements still apply regardless of age: a valid driver's license, a major credit card in the main driver's name for the deposit, and the required documents listed in the documents FAQ above.

How much is the security deposit for a minivan rental in Downtown Miami?

When you pick up your minivan in Downtown Miami, the rental partner will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card. This is not a charge; it reduces your available credit until the bank releases it after you return the vehicle.

For standard rentals in the United States, typical holds range from approximately US$300 to US$400. For a larger vehicle class such as a minivan, the hold may be higher depending on the brand, location, and season.

  • Only a 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
  • Virtual or digital-only card numbers are not accepted at the counter

After you return the minivan in Downtown Miami, the hold is released. Your bank controls how quickly it reappears on your available credit, which can take up to 15 business days. Bring a backup credit card in case your primary card is declined.

Can I get a Tolls Cashback refund on my minivan rental in Downtown Miami?

Yes, all Hola Car Rentals bookings include Tolls Cashback, which reimburses up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your minivan rental in Downtown Miami.

Florida's cashless toll roads, including the Florida Turnpike and I-95 Express lanes commonly used around Downtown Miami, qualify for this benefit. Here is how to claim:

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

Example: if your Downtown Miami minivan booking totals US$600, the maximum cashback is US$30. If you paid US$18 in tolls, you receive US$18 back. If you paid US$50, you receive the US$30 cap. Refunds are issued to your original payment method within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Claims submitted after 30 days are not accepted.

What is the fuel policy for a minivan rental in Downtown Miami?

The standard fuel policy for your minivan rental in Downtown Miami is Full-to-Full. You receive the minivan with a full tank and must return it full to avoid charges.

  • At pickup, check the fuel gauge with the 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 10 miles of the Downtown Miami return location before dropping off the minivan
  • Keep your final fuel receipt as proof in case of a dispute

If you return the minivan below the recorded starting level, the rental partner may charge a fuel shortfall at their own refueling rate, which is typically higher than pump price, plus an administrative service fee. If the minivan was not full at pickup, ask the agent to note the exact level on the agreement and return it at that same level. For after-hours returns, leave the receipt in the key envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge.

Can I add an extra driver to my minivan rental in Downtown Miami?

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

When the fee applies, typical rates are:

  • Avis, Budget, Payless: US$13 per rental day, capped at US$65
  • Hertz, Thrifty, Dollar: US$13.50 per rental day, capped at US$189
  • Alamo, National, Enterprise: US$15 per day

The additional driver must be present at the Downtown Miami counter at pickup with a valid driver's license and any required IDP. Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement. Only drivers listed on the agreement are covered by the minivan's insurance protections. For Avis, Budget, and Payless, additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old. Check your booking confirmation to see whether an additional driver is already included in your rate before arriving at the counter.

Does my minivan rental in Downtown Miami include insurance coverage?

Coverage depends on the rate plan you selected for your Downtown Miami minivan rental. Most Hola Car Rentals rate plans include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW), which reduces your financial liability for damage to the minivan from a collision, theft, or vandalism, subject to any applicable deductible.

CDW/LDW does not cover:

  • Damage or injury you cause to third parties (other vehicles, people, property)
  • Tires, undercarriage, roof, or keys unless explicitly included
  • Incidents involving unauthorized drivers or prohibited use such as off-road driving

For third-party liability protection while driving your minivan around Downtown Miami, you can add Liability Insurance Supplementary (LIS/ALI/SLI) to your booking. Some U.S. states require a minimum level of third-party liability, but not all do. Check your booking confirmation for the exact coverages included and any deductible that applies. At the Downtown Miami counter, review the rental agreement to confirm all coverages are active before driving away.

What driving rules should I know before taking a minivan in Downtown Miami?

Downtown Miami has several driving characteristics that can catch first-time visitors off guard, especially when navigating a larger vehicle like a minivan.

  • One-way street grid: Downtown Miami uses a dense one-way system around Biscayne Boulevard and port-adjacent routes. Minivans require more space to maneuver through tight turns and narrow lanes
  • Pedestrian and cyclist enforcement: yielding to pedestrians and cyclists is strictly enforced throughout Downtown Miami
  • Tow-away zones: late-night street-sweeping and valet zones operate 24/7 in many blocks. Ignoring posted tow-away signs results in immediate towing, which is common in Miami's residential-commercial mix
  • Causeway checkpoints: the MacArthur and Julia Tuttle causeways have license-plate-reader checkpoints during major events, which can cause unexpected delays
  • Unattended engine prohibition: leaving your minivan running unattended is prohibited and carries fines
  • Speed limits: residential streets are typically 25 to 30 mph and urban corridors 35 to 45 mph

Florida has no congestion charges or emissions zones, so there are no city-center driving fees beyond standard tolls when operating your minivan in Downtown Miami.

Can I pick up a minivan in Downtown Miami and return it to a different city?

Yes, one-way minivan rentals from Downtown Miami to a different city are possible with most partner brands, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on your route.

How the fee works:

  • Same-city routes (for example, Downtown Miami to Miami International Airport) often carry no drop-off fee
  • Routes between different cities or regions typically include a drop-off fee that varies by distance, vehicle class, and rental partner
  • Cross-border one-ways (for example, from Downtown Miami to another country) are often restricted or carry significantly higher fees

The drop-off fee for your minivan rental is shown during the booking process under the section labeled as charges due at the destination. It cannot be prepaid and is paid at the Downtown Miami counter or the return location. If a fee was not disclosed during booking but is added at the counter, keep all paperwork and contact support, as No Extra Charges© Coverage may apply. Always confirm the return location and any associated fees before finalizing your minivan reservation.
