Will I face unexpected charges when I rent a minivan in Nashville through Hola Car Rentals?
No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your minivan booking in Nashville 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 Nashville 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)
How do I pick up my minivan rental at Nashville International Airport (BNA)?
After collecting your bags at Nashville International Airport (BNA), follow the signs toward the Ground Transportation Center on Level 1 of Terminal Garage 2. Your minivan rental counter is located there alongside the other major rental brands operating at BNA.
Once you have checked in at the counter, a dedicated shuttle takes you to the Rental Car Facility where your minivan will be ready. Allow roughly 45 to 60 minutes from the time you land to the moment you drive away, and add an extra 15 to 30 minutes during peak travel periods or if your minivan requires a detailed inspection at pickup.
Key steps to follow:
- Exit baggage claim and follow signs to Rental Cars or Shuttles
- Check in at your brand's counter on Level 1 of Terminal Garage 2
- Board the dedicated shuttle to the Rental Car Facility
- Present your driver's license, credit card, and booking confirmation
If you booked through an off-site provider, separate shuttle instructions will apply. Check your booking confirmation for those details before you land in Nashville.
Are there toll roads I need to worry about when driving a minivan in Nashville?
No, there are no toll roads, toll bridges, or toll tunnels anywhere in Tennessee, so driving a minivan in Nashville means you will not encounter any toll charges on any route within the state.
Common routes such as I-40 between Nashville and Knoxville, I-65 toward Memphis, and all roads within the Nashville metro area are completely toll-free. Rental companies like Avis, Hertz, Enterprise, and others do offer toll transponder programs, but those programs are unnecessary for a minivan rental used exclusively in Nashville or elsewhere in Tennessee.
There are also no congestion charges, emissions zones, or city-center driving fees in Nashville. You can navigate freely without enrolling in any toll program or worrying about automated billing.
If your Nashville minivan rental takes you into neighboring states such as Georgia or North Carolina, toll roads may exist there. In that case, the toll device already installed in your minivan would apply, and you can choose between an unlimited daily toll package at the counter or pay-per-use billing with administrative fees added.
What documents do I need to pick up a minivan rental in Nashville?
To collect your minivan rental in Nashville, you must bring the following physical documents to the counter:
- Your original, unexpired driver's license (physical copy, not digital)
- A major credit card with your name printed on the card, in the main driver's name, 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 (required for visitors from outside the United States)
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 (IDP) 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 hold at Nashville rental counters. Even if you prepaid your minivan booking online, a physical major credit card is still required at pickup. All documents must be physical originals; digital versions shown on a phone will not be accepted.
Does Hola Car Rentals offer Tolls Cashback for a minivan rental in Nashville?
Yes, Tolls Cashback is included with every minivan rental booked through Hola Car Rentals, including Nashville bookings, even though Tennessee has no toll roads.
Because Nashville and the rest of Tennessee are toll-free, you are unlikely to incur toll charges during a typical Nashville minivan rental. However, if your trip takes you into a neighboring state where tolls do apply, the benefit still covers you. Hola Car Rentals will reimburse the lesser of the total tolls you paid or up to 5% of your total booking value.
To claim your cashback after returning your Nashville minivan:
- 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 receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid
Refunds are issued to the original payment method used for your booking and typically process within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Submissions received after 30 days are not accepted.
How much is the security deposit for a minivan rental in Nashville?
When you pick up your minivan rental in Nashville, the rental partner will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card. For standard rentals in the United States, this hold is typically around US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount can be higher for a minivan or larger vehicle class depending on the brand, the specific Nashville location, and the season.
This hold is not a charge. It temporarily reduces your available credit and is released after you return the minivan, though your bank may take up to 15 business days to reflect the release.
Important things 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
- Bring a backup credit card in case your primary card is declined
- Notify your bank of your travel to Nashville to prevent fraud blocks on the authorization
The exact hold amount is set by the rental company desk at Nashville and cannot be confirmed in advance. Make sure your card has sufficient available credit to cover both the hold and any expected charges during your rental.
Can a driver under 25 rent a minivan in Nashville?
No, drivers under 25 cannot rent a minivan in Nashville. Minivans are among the vehicle classes that rental companies restrict to drivers aged 25 and older throughout the United States, including all Nashville locations.
While drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent certain vehicle categories in Nashville (typically economy, compact, and intermediate sedans or compact SUVs), the minivan class is specifically excluded for under-25 renters at all major partner brands including Avis, Hertz, Alamo, Enterprise, Budget, and others.
If you are between 21 and 24 and need a larger vehicle for your Nashville trip, consider booking a standard SUV or full-size sedan instead, as availability of those classes for under-25 renters varies by partner. A young-renter surcharge will still apply to any vehicle you do rent.
Tennessee is not one of the states (like New York or Michigan) that legally requires rental companies to serve drivers aged 18 and older, so the standard 25-minimum policy applies in Nashville across all vehicle classes including minivans.
How does the minivan return process work at Nashville Airport (BNA)?
Returning your minivan rental at Nashville International Airport (BNA) is straightforward. Follow the signs for the Rental Car Facility from I-40 or Donelson Pike and drive directly to the return area. An agent will check in the vehicle and close your contract.
After dropping off your Nashville minivan, a shuttle will take you back to the terminal. Allow extra time if your flight departs soon, as shuttle frequency can vary during busy periods.
Before returning your minivan in Nashville, make sure to:
- Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the Nashville Airport return location to comply with the Full-to-Full fuel policy
- Keep your fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address in case of any dispute
- Take a photo of the dashboard showing the fuel gauge at full
- Remove all personal belongings from the minivan before handing it over
If you return the minivan outside of counter hours, follow the key-drop instructions provided in your rental agreement and keep a photo record of the vehicle's condition. Note that liability for the vehicle may continue until the rental company formally checks it in the next business day.
What insurance options should I consider for a minivan rental in Nashville?
When renting a minivan in Nashville, two main types of coverage are worth understanding before you reach the counter.
The first is Collision Damage Waiver or Loss Damage Waiver (CDW/LDW). This reduces your financial liability for damage to the minivan itself from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may still apply unless your confirmation explicitly states zero. CDW/LDW does not cover damage you cause to other vehicles or people.
The second is Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI). This covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving your Nashville minivan. Some U.S. states require rental companies to include a state-minimum liability amount, but not all do. Adding supplemental liability coverage up to US$300,000 is strongly recommended for any minivan rental in Nashville.
Additional options available at the Nashville counter include:
- Personal Accident Insurance (PAI) for your own injuries
- Personal Effects Coverage (PEC) for belongings inside the minivan
- Premium Roadside Assistance for tire, battery, or lockout help
Review your booking confirmation to see which protections are already included in your rate before accepting anything at the Nashville counter.
What local taxes and airport fees apply to a minivan rental in Nashville?
Renting a minivan at Nashville International Airport (BNA) involves several local taxes and fees on top of the base rate. Airport rentals in Nashville typically carry a combined surcharge of 20 to 30 percent above the base price, which is common at major U.S. airports.
Fees you may see on your Nashville minivan rental contract include:
- Airport Concession Recovery Fee (ACRF): charged by the rental company to recover the cost of operating at BNA
- Customer Facility Charge (CFC): a per-day fee that funds the Rental Car Facility at Nashville Airport
- Tennessee state rental tax and local Nashville surcharges
- Tourism-related surcharges specific to Davidson County
If your booking confirmation shows Taxes and Fees as Included, you should not be billed separately for those items at the Nashville counter. If the counter charges you for something already marked as included in your reservation, the No Extra Charges© guarantee may apply. Keep all paperwork and contact support after your rental is complete.
Picking up your minivan at an off-airport location in Nashville can reduce these fees significantly, sometimes by 20 to 40 percent, though you will need to arrange your own transportation to the pickup site.
Can I add an additional driver to my minivan rental in Nashville?
Yes, you can add an additional driver to your minivan rental in Nashville, either at no cost if your rate includes it or for a daily fee paid at the counter if it does not.
Check your booking confirmation before arriving at the Nashville counter. If it states Additional Driver Free of Charge, the first extra driver is covered. If not, the daily fees by partner are:
- Avis, Budget, Payless: US$13 per rental day, capped at US$65 (plus taxes)
- Hertz, Thrifty, Dollar: US$13.50 per rental day, capped at US$189 (plus taxes)
- Alamo, National, Enterprise: US$15 per day (plus taxes)
The additional driver must be present at the Nashville pickup counter with their own valid driver's license. If their license is not in English and does not use a Latin alphabet, they will also need an International Driving Permit. Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement before leaving with the minivan.
Only drivers listed on the rental agreement are covered by the minivan's insurance protections. Anyone not named on the contract who drives the Nashville minivan may void coverage entirely.
What is the fuel policy for a minivan rental in Nashville?
The standard fuel policy for a minivan rental in Nashville is Full-to-Full. You receive the minivan with a full tank and must return it full to avoid refueling charges.
At pickup in Nashville, 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 both the odometer and the gauge.
When returning your Nashville minivan:
- Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the Nashville Airport return location so the gauge does not drop before you arrive
- Keep the fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address
- Take a photo of the full gauge before handing over the keys
If you return the minivan below the recorded starting level, the rental company will charge you for the fuel shortfall at their own refueling rate, which is typically higher than the pump price, plus an administrative service fee. Using the correct fuel type is also important; wrong-fuel incidents are not covered by the fuel policy and may generate additional charges.
Some Nashville counter locations may offer a Prepaid Fuel option. If you accept it, any unused fuel is generally non-refundable, so the Full-to-Full approach is usually the better value.
Is Travel Assistance included with my minivan rental in Nashville?
Yes, most minivan rental bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include Travel Assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection, though this benefit does not apply to customers who are residents of the United States or Canada.
If you are visiting Nashville from outside North America and something goes wrong during your minivan rental, such as a medical emergency, a highway breakdown requiring legal assistance, or luggage lost by your airline, this coverage can help. Core benefits typically include:
- Travel and medical coverage for up to 5 passengers
- Legal assistance in the event of a road accident
- Compensation for luggage lost by the airline
- Flight cancellation insurance
To reach assistance 24 hours a day while in Nashville or anywhere during your trip, call +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free) or contact WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your full name and your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call.
This coverage does not replace CDW/LDW for damage to the minivan itself, nor does it cover third-party liability. Review your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your Nashville reservation.
Can I pick up a minivan in Nashville and return it to a different city?
Yes, one-way minivan rentals from Nashville to another city are possible, but a drop-off fee will likely apply and the amount varies by route, rental partner, vehicle class, and season.
When searching for a one-way minivan rental on the Hola Car Rentals website, select a different return location and the system will calculate whether a drop-off fee applies for your specific Nashville route. If a fee exists, it will appear under the To Pay at Destination section on the booking details page and on your confirmation.
Things to keep in mind for a one-way Nashville minivan rental:
- Same-city routes (for example, Nashville Airport to downtown Nashville) often carry no drop-off fee
- Routes between Nashville and another city or state typically do carry a one-way fee
- Cross-border one-way rentals (for example, Nashville to Canada) may be restricted or require special authorization from the rental partner
- The drop-off fee cannot be prepaid and is not covered by No Extra Charges© unless it was not disclosed during booking
If you need to change your return location after booking your Nashville minivan, contact support as soon as possible. Mid-rental route changes must be approved by the rental partner and may increase the fee or affect availability.
