No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your National booking in Atlantic City 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 National 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 National counter in Atlantic City 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 National 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 National car rental counter at Atlantic City International Airport (ACY) is located at 101 Atlantic City Intl Airport, Egg Harbor Twp, NJ 08234, directly across from the main terminal inside a parking garage shared with other major rental brands.

After collecting your baggage, walk a short distance from the terminal to the rental counter. No shuttle or tram is required. Once you complete the paperwork at the National counter, your vehicle is in the adjacent parking area, so you can be on the road within minutes of arriving in Atlantic City.

Counter hours run approximately 09:00 AM to 12:00 AM daily. If your flight lands outside those hours, pickup will not be available, though 24-hour key drop is offered for returns.

To pick up a National rental car in Atlantic City, 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 card, for the security deposit hold
• A passport or valid government 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 uses a non-Latin alphabet (for example, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic), 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 cannot be used without your original license.

All documents must be physical. Digital copies shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted at the National counter in Atlantic City.

The Atlantic City Expressway (ACE) is the main toll road connecting Atlantic City to Philadelphia and the wider New Jersey highway network. When driving a National rental car in Atlantic City, you will encounter toll plazas at Egg Harbor and Pleasantville, plus several ramp tolls. The full length of the ACE costs approximately US$5.50 for a passenger car.

New Jersey uses E-ZPass as its primary electronic toll system. The ACE is transitioning to all-electronic tolling (E-ZPass or Toll-By-Plate invoicing), meaning cash lanes are being phased out. Your National rental vehicle comes with a toll device already installed.

At the National counter in Atlantic City, you have two options:

• Unlimited toll package: a fixed daily rate (typically US$11 to US$25 per day) covering all tolls during your rental
• Pay per use: tolls are billed to your card after the rental, plus daily or administrative processing fees charged by National

If you opt out of the National toll program and drive a cashless-only gantry without a personal transponder, you may be charged up to three times the toll amount (maximum US$5 per toll) in addition to the toll itself. To avoid surprises, review the toll program terms carefully before signing the rental agreement in Atlantic City.

Yes, you can get toll cashback on your National rental car in Atlantic City. All Hola Car Rentals bookings include Tolls Cashback, which reimburses up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your rental.

Given that driving in and around Atlantic City involves the Atlantic City Expressway, the Garden State Parkway, and potentially the New Jersey Turnpike, toll costs can add up quickly. The Tolls Cashback benefit helps offset those expenses.

To claim your cashback after returning your National rental car in Atlantic City:

• 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 rental agreement signed at the National counter, and a toll receipt or statement showing charges paid

The refund is issued to the same payment method used for your booking and typically processes within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Claims submitted after 30 days are not accepted.

When picking up a National rental car at Atlantic City International Airport (ACY), expect several fees and taxes on top of your base rate. These are standard for airport rentals in New Jersey and are not unique to National.

• Airport concession recovery fee: typically 8% to 10% of the base rate, charged by National to recover the cost of operating at ACY
• Customer facility charge (CFC): approximately US$4.50 to US$7.00 per day, capped, used to fund the rental car facility at the airport
• New Jersey state sales tax: 6.625%
• Atlantic County tax: 1%
• Potential city or tourism surcharges: up to 2% to 3%

Combined, these extras can add roughly 15% to 20% on top of your prepaid rate. Your booking confirmation will show which taxes and fees are included in your prepaid total and which are due at the National counter in Atlantic City. If your confirmation states taxes and fees are included, you should not be billed again for those items at pickup.

Yes, a major credit card is required to pick up a National rental car in Atlantic City. The card must be in the main driver's name with the driver's name physically printed on the card, and it must have sufficient available credit to cover the security deposit hold.

For a standard vehicle at a U.S. airport location such as Atlantic City International Airport, the typical hold is approximately US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount is set by National at the counter and may vary by vehicle class or season.

Important points to keep in mind:

• Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit
• Digital wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay) and virtual card numbers are not accepted at the counter
• The hold reduces your available credit until National releases it after return; your bank may take up to 15 business days to reflect the release
• Even if you prepaid your booking in full, you must still present a physical credit card at the National counter in Atlantic City

Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined.

Atlantic City has several road features that can catch first-time drivers off guard, especially when arriving in a National rental car from the airport.

• The Atlantic City Expressway (ACE) does not end at a standard interchange. Eastbound traffic exits onto Missouri Avenue (also known as Christopher Columbus Boulevard, CR 692), while westbound traffic uses Arkansas Avenue (CR 694). This one-way pair near Tanger Outlets is different from typical expressway endings and can be disorienting.
• Atlantic Avenue, a main corridor through Atlantic City, has been converted from four lanes to three, with a center median and shared turn lanes at 33 signalized intersections over 2.4 miles. This reduces capacity and can create unexpected bottlenecks compared to wider urban roads.
• The ACE itself features barrier toll plazas with narrow original shoulders, and the Route 42 terminus involves complex interchanges currently under reconstruction.

Additionally, certain annual events such as the CRDA TRI AC triathlon in August cause temporary closures of ACE exits 2, 4, and 5 from 5 AM to 11 AM, forcing detours via Route 30 and Route 40. If you are driving a National rental car in Atlantic City during a major event weekend, allow extra time and check for posted detour signs.

Yes, most Hola Car Rentals bookings for a National rental car in Atlantic City include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection. This benefit is particularly useful if you experience a medical emergency or other travel disruption while driving in the Atlantic City area or on New Jersey highways.

Coverage typically includes:

• Travel and medical insurance for up to 5 passengers
• Legal assistance in the event of a road accident
• Compensation for baggage lost by the airline
• Flight cancellation insurance

To reach assistance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, call +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free) or contact WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call.

Important: this benefit does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada. It also does not cover damage to the National rental vehicle itself (that is handled by CDW/LDW) or third-party liability (covered by LIS/SLI). Always review your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your Atlantic City rental.

Yes, you can return a National rental car at Atlantic City International Airport after midnight using the 24-hour key drop facility. The rental return area is located at 101 Atlantic City Intl Airport, Egg Harbor Twp, NJ 08234, in the parking garage across from the main terminal. Follow signs to the rental car area and use the designated key drop box.

Keep in mind that the National counter closes at approximately 12:00 AM, so a staff member will not be present to process your return in person during early morning hours. For after-hours drops:

• Leave the keys in the key drop envelope provided at pickup
• Keep a photo of the fuel gauge showing a full tank (or the recorded starting level)
• Retain your final fuel receipt with the station address and timestamp
• Keep a copy of your rental agreement

Note that after-hours pickup is not available at the Atlantic City Airport National counter. If your flight arrives in the early morning before the counter opens, you will need to wait until service hours begin or consider an alternative arrangement. Check your booking confirmation for the exact counter hours applicable to your National reservation in Atlantic City.

The minimum age to rent a National car in Atlantic City without a young-renter surcharge is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent but will be charged an additional daily underage fee at the National counter in Atlantic City.

For National, the underage surcharge is approximately US$15 per day plus applicable taxes, paid at the counter. Certain vehicle classes are also restricted to drivers aged 25 and older, including full-size SUVs, minivans, premium, and luxury categories. Drivers under 25 are generally limited to economy, compact, intermediate, and compact SUV classes.

New Jersey does not have a state law requiring rentals to drivers under 21, so the minimum age at the Atlantic City National location follows the brand's standard policy of 21 as the floor, with surcharges applying from 21 to 24.

Regardless of age, all drivers must present a valid driver's license and a major credit card in their name at the National counter in Atlantic City. If your license is not in a Latin alphabet, an International Driving Permit is also required.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your National rental car in Atlantic City, either as part of your rate or for a fee paid at the counter.

For National rentals in Atlantic City, the additional driver fee is approximately US$15 per day plus taxes when not included in your rate. Check your booking confirmation to see if an additional driver is already included at no extra cost.

Requirements for adding a driver at the National counter in Atlantic City:

• The additional driver must be present at pickup with a valid driver's license
• If their license uses a non-Latin alphabet, an International Driving Permit is also required
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement
• The additional driver must meet the minimum age requirements; drivers aged 21 to 24 may incur a young-driver surcharge

Only drivers listed on the National rental agreement in Atlantic City are covered by protections such as CDW/LDW and liability coverage. If someone not named on the contract drives the vehicle, those protections may be void. If you need to add a driver after pickup, visit a National branch to update the agreement.

National rental cars in Atlantic City follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy. 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 National agent and confirm it is recorded on the rental agreement. Take a photo of the dashboard showing the gauge and odometer before leaving the Atlantic City Airport lot.

When returning your National rental car in Atlantic City, refuel within approximately 10 miles of the return location at Atlantic City International Airport (101 Atlantic City Intl Airport, Egg Harbor Twp, NJ 08234) so the gauge does not drop below full before you arrive. Note that the Atlantic City Expressway has only one service plaza (Frank S. Farley in Hamilton Township) along its 44-mile length, so plan your refueling stop accordingly rather than relying on finding a station on the expressway itself.

If you return the National vehicle below the recorded fuel level, you may be charged:

• A fuel shortfall at the partner's refueling rate, which is typically higher than retail pump prices
• A refueling service or administrative fee

Keep your final fuel receipt with the station address and timestamp as proof, especially for after-hours returns at the Atlantic City Airport key drop.

Yes, one-way rentals are possible with National, allowing you to pick up in Atlantic City and return the vehicle in a different city. However, a drop-off fee may apply depending on the route, distance, and vehicle class.

Common patterns for one-way National rentals from Atlantic City:

• Atlantic City to another New Jersey city or nearby state: a drop-off fee typically applies and varies by distance and car class
• Atlantic City to a distant city or different region: a higher drop-off fee is common and some routes may not be available
• Cross-border rentals (for example, driving into Canada): these are subject to specific partner rules and may not be permitted

The drop-off fee for your National rental from Atlantic City will be shown during the booking process under the section labeled as charges due at the destination. It is not included in the prepaid rate and cannot be covered by the No Extra Charges© guarantee unless it was not disclosed at booking.

If you need to change your return location after booking your National rental in Atlantic City, contact support as soon as possible, since route changes can reprice the rental and may affect availability. Review your confirmation carefully to confirm the drop-off terms before picking up in Atlantic City.
