No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your booking in Augusta 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. This is a pricing guarantee (not insurance) that protects you if the counter in Augusta 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 hire 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)

The Payless car hire facility in Augusta is located at 1630 Aviation Way, Augusta, GA 30906, at Augusta Regional Airport (AGS). This is the only Payless location in Augusta; there is no centre or city centre counter.

After collecting your baggage, follow the car hire signs towards the Payless facility. A shuttle service connects the terminal to the hire facility at 1630 Aviation Way. Allow extra time for the shuttle ride and paperwork before you are on the road.

The Payless counter at Augusta Regional Airport operates on the following schedule:

• Sunday through Friday: 7:00 AM to 11:30 PM
• Saturday: 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM

If your flight arrives outside these hours, your Payless booking in Augusta may not be honoured at the counter. It is strongly recommended to plan your arrival within the operating window. No confirmed after-hours pickup or key-drop arrangements have been documented for this Payless location.

Rental companies will generally hold a reservation for up to 24 hours from the original pickup time if you are delayed. If your delay exceeds 24 hours, contact support as soon as possible to avoid losing your booking.

To collect your Payless hire in Augusta, bring the following physical documents to the counter:

• Your original, unexpired driver’s licence
• A major credit card in the main driver’s name, with the driver’s name printed on the physical card, for the security deposit authorisation hold
• A valid passport or government-issued photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets (required for visitors travelling from abroad)

If your driver’s licence 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. For all other non-English licences, an IDP is strongly recommended. The IDP is a translation only and must be carried alongside your original licence.

All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted at the Payless counter in Augusta.

When driving a Payless hire car in Augusta and on surrounding Georgia and interstate roads, nearly all toll roads are cashless. Your hire vehicle will come equipped with an electronic toll device or be enrolled in a plate-based billing system.

At the Payless counter in Augusta, you will typically have two options:

• Purchase an unlimited toll package, which usually costs between US$11 and US$25 per hire day, covering all tolls during the hire period
• Opt out and pay per use, in which case Payless will charge you the actual toll amount plus an administrative processing fee for each toll road used

If you drive through a cashless toll lane without enrolling in a programme, the toll charge plus fees will be billed to the credit card on file, sometimes weeks after your hire ends.

All Hola Car Rentals bookings include Tolls Cashback, which reimburses up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your Augusta hire. To claim, email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle, attaching your hire agreement and toll receipts.

Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual or single-use card numbers are not accepted for the deposit at the Payless counter in Augusta.

Typical security deposit holds for standard vehicles in the United States range from US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount is set by Payless at the counter and may vary by vehicle class or hire duration. The hold is a temporary authorisation, not a charge, and is released after you return the vehicle. Your bank controls how quickly the funds become available again, which can take up to 15 working days.

Even if you prepaid your booking online, you must still present a physical credit card at the Augusta Payless counter for the deposit authorisation hold.

Drivers under 25 are also restricted from hiring certain vehicle classes.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Payless hire in Augusta, but the additional driver must be present at the counter at the time of pickup with a valid driver’s licence.

If your Hola Car Rentals confirmation does not show an additional driver as included, the fee for Payless in Augusta is US$13 per hire day plus taxes, with a maximum charge of US$65 plus taxes for the hire period.

Important conditions for adding a driver at the Augusta Payless counter:

• The additional driver must be at least 25 years old at pickup for Payless
• They must present a valid driver’s licence and any required IDP

Most Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Payless hires in Augusta, include travel assistance cover provided by Terrawind Global Protection. This benefit is designed for situations such as a medical emergency or accident while driving in or around Augusta.

Coverage typically includes:

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

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

Important: this travel assistance benefit does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada. It is designed for visitors travelling internationally. It also does not cover damage to the Payless hire vehicle itself, which is handled separately by CDW or LDW cover.

Review your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your Augusta hire.

Payless hires in Augusta follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy. You will receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.

To avoid fuel fees at the Augusta Payless location:

• Check the fuel gauge with the agent at pickup and confirm the starting level is recorded on the hire agreement
• Take a photo of the dashboard showing the fuel gauge and odometer
• Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the Augusta Regional Airport return location before dropping off the car
• Keep your final fuel receipt as proof in case of any dispute

If you return the Payless vehicle in Augusta with less fuel than recorded at pickup, you may be charged for the fuel shortfall at the partner's refuelling rate, which is typically higher than retail pump prices, plus a refuelling service fee.

Ask the Payless agent in Augusta for the nearest fuel station to the return location at 1630 Aviation Way when you pick up the vehicle.

Yes, Augusta has several active construction projects that can affect drivers unfamiliar with the area, and Payless renters should be aware of them before setting out.

Key areas to watch for in Augusta:

• Mount Vernon Avenue periodically converts to one-way traffic during utility and road overhaul work, forcing detours via Townsend Road and Northern Avenue. Sections can be narrow with no room for two-way traffic.
• I-95 Exit 109 near Western Avenue has shifted on-ramps and temporary lane configurations as part of a bridge replacement project. Standard left turns from Western Avenue may be blocked, and merge curves are sharper than usual.
• Memorial Circle at the Western Avenue and State Street intersection undergoes frequent lane reductions and inside-lane closures, with setup beginning as early as 4:00 AM and access roads reduced to one lane outside peak hours.

Navigation apps may not always reflect the latest temporary changes in Augusta. If you are driving a Payless hire and encounter unexpected road closures, follow posted detour signs and allow extra travel time, especially during early morning hours when construction crews are active.

Yes, one-way hires are possible with Payless, allowing you to pick up in Augusta and return the vehicle at a different location, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on the route.

How one-way fees work for Payless hires from Augusta:

• The drop-off fee is route-specific and varies by destination, vehicle class, and season
• The fee is shown during the booking process under the "To pay at destination" section and will also appear on your confirmation
• This fee cannot be prepaid and is paid directly at the Payless counter in Augusta or at the return location
• Cross-border one-ways, such as returning to Canada, may be restricted or carry significantly higher fees

If no drop-off fee appears during your search for a Payless hire from Augusta, it means no fee applies to that specific route. Always review your confirmation carefully before travelling to confirm whether a one-way fee is listed.

Changing your return location after booking may reprice the hire and recalculate any applicable drop-off fee.

When picking up your Payless hire in Augusta, you will have the option to add or confirm insurance coverages at the counter. Understanding what each covers helps you avoid paying for protection you already have or going without cover you need.

Main coverages available for Payless hires in Augusta:

• Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): reduces your financial liability for damage to the Payless hire vehicle from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation shows zero excess.
• Third-Party Liability (LIS or SLI): covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to other people or vehicles while driving in Augusta. CDW does not cover third parties, so this is a separate and important protection.

CDW and LDW do not cover tyres, undercarriage, roof damage, or personal belongings. They also do not apply if an unlisted driver was operating the vehicle.

Check your Hola Car Rentals confirmation before arriving at the Augusta Payless counter to see which coverages are already included in your rate and what, if anything, remains to be added locally.
