"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."

"Unfortunately I had to cancel my booking with Hola Car Rentals for personal reasons. I was assisted by the Sales Manager Karen to do this. 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 car in Melbourne

National's counter at Melbourne Orlando International Airport (MLB) sits inside the main terminal on the baggage claim level, so there is no shuttle to catch after collecting your luggage. The desk operates from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM daily, and average wait times run around 14 minutes — noticeably shorter than at larger Florida hubs. Booking several weeks ahead is worth doing, as MLB is a smaller airport and National's fleet here is more limited than at Orlando International. Florida's toll roads are fully cashless, and National vehicles come equipped with a TollPass transponder that activates automatically when you use a toll road; the daily charge applies only on days you actually use a toll, on top of the toll cost itself. Budget for a deposit hold of roughly US$200–300 placed on a credit card in the primary driver's name at pickup — no debit cards are accepted. Fuel in the Melbourne area averages around US$3.72 per gallon; several stations sit close to the airport for a fill-up before return, since returning the tank short triggers a fuel service charge at a significant markup over pump price. If your license uses a non-Latin script — Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, or similar — bring an International Driving Permit alongside your home-country license.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does my Hola Car Rentals booking with National in Melbourne Orlando include that other companies don't offer?

Hola Car Rentals is the only premium partner of the top car rental brands operating in Melbourne Orlando, including National, giving you exclusive access to our All Inclusive+ rate. This rate includes benefits that no other company can match:

  • 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 National rental experience and peace of mind throughout your trip in Melbourne Orlando.

Will I face unexpected charges at the National counter in Melbourne Orlando when I book through Hola Car Rentals?

No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your National booking in Melbourne Orlando 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 Melbourne Orlando 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)
Where is the National counter at Melbourne Orlando International Airport?

The National counter at Melbourne Orlando International Airport (MLB) is located inside the terminal at 1 Air Terminal Pkwy, Melbourne, FL 32901, on the same level as baggage claim.

After landing, follow the Arrivals or Baggage Claim signs to reach the National desk. There is no shuttle or consolidated rental car center to navigate, and the rental lot is a short walk outside the terminal. This makes the pickup process at Melbourne Orlando significantly faster than at larger Florida airports, with a realistic time from arrival to driving away of around 15 to 45 minutes depending on processing.

For after-hours returns, a key dropbox is available on site. Check your booking confirmation for specific after-hours instructions if your flight arrives late.

What documents do I need to pick up a National rental car in Melbourne Orlando?

To collect your National rental car in Melbourne Orlando, you must bring the following physical documents to the counter:

  • A valid, unexpired driver's license in the main driver's name (physical card only; digital licenses are not accepted)
  • A major credit card with the driver's name printed on the 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 uses a non-Latin alphabet such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory alongside your original license at the National counter in Melbourne Orlando. For licenses in other non-English scripts, an IDP is strongly recommended. The IDP is a translation only and cannot be used without the original license.

All documents must be physical originals. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security hold.

Are there toll roads near Melbourne Orlando and how do they work with a National rental?

Yes, toll roads are common in the Melbourne Orlando area and throughout Florida, and nearly all of them are fully cashless.

Your National rental vehicle at Melbourne Orlando comes equipped with an electronic toll device or a plate-based billing system. Common toll roads you may encounter include SR-528 (Beachline Expressway), SR-407, and SR-515. Florida uses the SunPass and E-PASS systems, and cashless gantries photograph license plates for Toll-by-Plate billing when no transponder is active.

At the National counter in Melbourne Orlando, you will typically have two options:

  • Unlimited toll package: approximately US$11 to US$15 per rental day, covering all tolls during your rental
  • Pay per use: actual toll charges plus daily or administrative processing fees billed to your credit card, sometimes weeks after the rental ends

If you prefer to use your own visitor toll pass, inform the National agent at Melbourne Orlando so they can deactivate the vehicle's default device and prevent duplicate charges. Florida has no congestion charges or emissions zones; all road fees are standard toll charges.

Can I get a toll cashback refund on my National rental in Melbourne Orlando?

Yes, all bookings include Tolls Cashback, which lets you recover up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your National rental in Melbourne Orlando.

Given that Florida toll roads such as SR-528 and the Florida Turnpike are cashless and charges can add up quickly, this benefit helps offset those costs after your trip.

To claim your cashback after returning your National vehicle in Melbourne Orlando:

  • Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle
  • 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 invoice or statement showing charges paid

For example, if your booking total is US$500, the maximum cashback is US$25. If you paid US$18 in tolls, you receive US$18 back. If you paid US$40, you receive US$25 (the cap). Refunds are issued to your original payment method within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Late submissions beyond 30 days are not accepted.

What airport fees and taxes apply to a National car rental at Melbourne Orlando?

Renting a National car at Melbourne Orlando International Airport (MLB) involves several local fees and taxes on top of the base rate. These are standard for Florida airport rentals and include:

  • Florida state sales tax: 6% on the base rate
  • Florida state rental car surcharge: US$2.00 per day
  • Airport concession fee: approximately 10% of gross receipts, paid to MLB authorities
  • Energy fee: approximately US$0.99 per day
  • License recovery fee: approximately US$1.99 per day
  • Port recovery fee: approximately US$3.95 as a one-time charge

Melbourne Orlando is a smaller regional airport compared to Orlando International (MCO), which means the concession fee structure tends to be lower than at larger Florida hubs. Your booking confirmation will show which taxes and fees are included in your prepaid rate and which are due at the National counter in Melbourne Orlando at pickup. Review the confirmation carefully so there are no surprises.

How much is the security deposit for a National rental in Melbourne Orlando?

When you pick up your National rental car in Melbourne Orlando, the counter will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card as a security deposit. 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, rental duration, and the specific National location at Melbourne Orlando International Airport.

Important points to keep in mind:

  • The hold is not a charge; it temporarily reduces your available credit until released after the rental ends
  • Your bank controls when the hold disappears, which can take up to 15 business days after return
  • Only a physical major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card is accepted; debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the deposit
  • Premium or specialty vehicles may require a higher hold amount

Notify your bank before travel to avoid fraud blocks on the in-person authorization at the National counter in Melbourne Orlando, and consider bringing a backup credit card in your name.

Can I add an additional driver to my National rental in Melbourne Orlando?

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your National rental in Melbourne Orlando, either as part of your rate or by paying a fee at the counter.

For National at Melbourne Orlando, the additional driver fee when not included in your rate is US$15 per day plus applicable taxes. 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 Melbourne Orlando:

  • The additional driver must be present at pickup with a valid, unexpired driver's license
  • If their license uses a non-Latin alphabet, an IDP is also required
  • They must meet the minimum age requirements for the Melbourne Orlando location
  • Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement

Only drivers listed on the rental agreement are covered by protections such as CDW/LDW. If someone not named on the contract drives the vehicle, coverage may be void. You cannot add a driver remotely by phone; the person must be physically present at the National counter in Melbourne Orlando at the time of pickup.

Is there a young driver surcharge for under-25 renters at National in Melbourne Orlando?

Yes, drivers under 25 years old are subject to a young-renter surcharge when picking up a National rental car in Melbourne Orlando.

In the United States, the standard minimum age to rent without additional fees is 25. At National in Melbourne Orlando, drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent but will pay a daily underage surcharge on top of the base rate. Drivers under 21 are generally not eligible to rent.

Additional restrictions that apply to under-25 renters at Melbourne Orlando:

  • Most premium, full-size, luxury, SUV, minivan, and convertible vehicle classes are restricted to drivers 25 and older
  • Eligible classes for younger renters are typically economy, compact, and intermediate categories
  • A major credit card in the renter's name is still required for the security deposit

Florida does not have a state law requiring rentals to drivers under 21 (unlike New York and Michigan), so the National counter in Melbourne Orlando follows standard partner policy. If you are between 21 and 24, Budget for the daily surcharge when comparing rates for your Melbourne Orlando trip.

Does travel assistance come with my National booking in Melbourne Orlando?

Yes, most bookings include travel assistance coverage through Terrawind Global Protection, and this applies to National rentals originating in Melbourne Orlando as well. However, this benefit is available only to non-North American customers; residents of the United States and Canada do not qualify.

For eligible renters driving in the Melbourne Orlando area, coverage typically includes:

  • Travel and medical insurance for up to 5 passengers
  • Legal assistance in the event of an accident, such as on SR-528 or the Beachline Expressway near Melbourne Orlando
  • Compensation for luggage lost by the airline
  • Flight cancellation insurance

This coverage does not include damage to the National rental vehicle itself (that is handled by CDW/LDW) or third-party liability to others (covered by LIS/ALI/SLI).

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. Always check your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your Melbourne Orlando reservation.

Can I return my National rental from Melbourne Orlando to a different Florida airport?

Yes, one-way rentals are possible with National, allowing you to pick up in Melbourne Orlando and return to a different Florida airport such as Orlando International (MCO), but a drop-off fee may apply depending on the route.

Key things to know about one-way rentals from Melbourne Orlando:

  • The drop-off fee is route-specific and set by National; it varies by destination, vehicle class, and season
  • The fee is listed under the "To pay at destination" section during the booking process and on your confirmation
  • Some short-distance Florida routes between nearby airports may not carry a drop-off fee, while longer cross-state routes typically do
  • Standard Florida inter-airport fees generally range from US$50 to US$200 depending on the brand and vehicle

If no drop-off fee appears during checkout for your Melbourne Orlando to another city route, none should be charged at the National counter. If the desk adds a fee that was not disclosed on your confirmation, keep all paperwork and contact support, as No Extra Charges© Coverage may apply after verification.

What fuel policy applies to National rentals in Melbourne Orlando?

National rentals in Melbourne Orlando follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy by default. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.

Steps to follow for a smooth fuel return near Melbourne Orlando International Airport:

  • At pickup, confirm the fuel level with the National agent and ensure it is recorded on the rental agreement
  • Take a photo of the dashboard showing the fuel gauge and odometer
  • Refuel within approximately 10 miles 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 National vehicle in Melbourne Orlando 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 pump prices, plus a refueling service fee.

Note that some National counter locations may offer an optional prepaid fuel plan; if you accept it, any unused fuel is generally non-refundable. The Full-to-Full policy is the better value for most renters in Melbourne Orlando who plan to refuel before returning to the airport.

What insurance coverage is included in a National rental booking in Melbourne Orlando?

The insurance and protection options available for your National rental in Melbourne Orlando depend on the rate plan selected at booking. Here is how the main coverages work:

  • Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): reduces your financial liability for damage to the National rental vehicle from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation states zero excess.
  • Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI): covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving in Melbourne Orlando. In Florida, state-minimum liability may be included, but coverage limits can be low; adding supplemental liability up to US$300,000 is strongly recommended.

CDW/LDW does not cover third parties, and LIS/ALI/SLI does not cover damage to the National vehicle itself. These are separate protections that work together.

Common exclusions to be aware of for Melbourne Orlando driving:

  • Prohibited use such as off-road driving or driving under the influence
  • Drivers not listed on the National rental agreement
  • Tires, undercarriage, and roof damage unless specifically included

Always review the rental agreement at the National counter in Melbourne Orlando to confirm which coverages are active and what deductibles apply.

What local driving rules should I know before driving a National rental in Melbourne Orlando?

Driving a National rental car in Melbourne Orlando follows standard Florida traffic rules, but there are several points that frequently catch first-time visitors off guard:

  • Right turn on red is permitted after a complete stop unless a sign prohibits it, which differs from many countries in Europe, Asia, and Latin America
  • Speed enforcement is active on SR-407, SR-515, and the Beachline Expressway (SR-528) near Melbourne Orlando, with mobile radar units used by local deputies; traffic tickets are mailed internationally through the rental company
  • Florida has no congestion charges or emissions zones, so there are no city-center driving fees to worry about in Melbourne Orlando
  • Hurricane evacuation routes on A1A near Melbourne Orlando may operate as one-way southbound during declared emergencies; check local alerts if traveling during storm season
  • All toll roads in the Melbourne Orlando area are cashless; your National vehicle includes an electronic toll device or plate-based billing, so be prepared for toll charges on SR-528 and nearby expressways

Driving in Melbourne Orlando is generally less congested than at tourist-heavy MCO, but the highway interchanges on SR-407 and SR-515 can be confusing for first-time visitors. Allow extra time when navigating these routes in your National rental.
