No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Payless booking in Kentucky 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 Payless 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 Payless counter in Kentucky 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 Payless 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 Payless counter at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) is located inside the CVG Terminal's Rental Car Center at 3057 Terminal Drive, Hebron, KY 41048.

The Rental Car Center is directly connected to the terminal, so no shuttle is needed. From baggage claim, follow the Ground Transport West signage and walk to the consolidated Rental Car Center where the Payless desk is located.

Counter hours at this Kentucky Payless location are Sunday through Friday 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, and Saturday 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Bring your booking confirmation, a valid driver's license, and a major credit card in the main driver's name to complete the pickup process.

The Payless counter at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF) is located in the terminal at 600 Terminal Drive, Louisville, KY 40209.

Unlike the CVG location, the Louisville Kentucky Payless location offers a shuttle service to reach the counter. Follow airport signage for car rental shuttles after collecting your baggage.

Counter hours at this Kentucky Payless location are:

• Sunday through Thursday: 8:00 AM to 1:00 AM
• Friday: 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM
• Saturday: 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM

The Louisville location has notably extended weekday hours, making it the better option if you are arriving late at night. Bring your booking confirmation, a valid driver's license, and a major credit card in the main driver's name to complete the pickup.

Yes, all toll roads in Kentucky are fully cashless, which directly affects how you manage tolls during your Payless rental.

There are no toll booths where you can stop and pay with cash. Instead, tolls are collected electronically through license plate photography at toll plazas. The primary toll system operating in Kentucky is RiverLink, which covers the bridges connecting Louisville and Southern Indiana, including the John F. Kennedy Memorial, Abraham Lincoln, and Lewis and Clark bridges. RiverLink also accepts E-ZPass and Pay-By-Plate if you already have those accounts.

For your Payless rental in Kentucky, you have a few options:

• Enroll in the rental company's pay-per-use toll program at the counter
• Use your own personally owned transponder if it covers the Kentucky area
• Use the NextPass app by adding your rental vehicle's license plate directly

If you drive through a toll without any payment arrangement, the rental company will receive the invoice from the toll authority and can charge you the toll amount plus additional administrative fees and potential fines.

When you pick up your Payless rental in Kentucky, the vehicle will already have an electronic toll device installed. You can choose between a pay-per-use arrangement or, at some locations, an unlimited daily toll package.

Under the pay-per-use system common at Kentucky Payless locations, you are charged:

• A daily convenience charge of approximately US$4.95 per day, applied only on days you actually use a toll road
• A cap of approximately US$30 to US$34.65 per rental period
• The actual toll amount for each crossing, billed at the higher of the applicable video toll rate, cash rate, or highest undiscounted rate

For reference, Kentucky toll rates for a standard car range from US$2.68 per crossing with a transponder up to US$5.36 if billed by invoice with no account.

Toll charges from your Kentucky Payless rental are typically billed to your credit card within 4 to 6 weeks after the rental ends, once the toll authority sends the data to the rental company. Keep this in mind when reviewing your card statement after returning the vehicle.

Yes, all bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include Tolls Cashback, which lets you recover up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your Payless rental in Kentucky.

Kentucky uses the cashless RiverLink system on the Louisville bridges, so toll charges will appear on your rental invoice or credit card statement. Those charges are eligible for the cashback claim.

To claim your Tolls Cashback after your Kentucky Payless rental:

• 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 receipt or statement showing the toll 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, so act promptly once your Kentucky Payless rental is complete.

To pick up your Payless rental car in Kentucky, you must present the following physical documents at 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 physical card, used for the security deposit hold
• A passport or valid government 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 is not in English and does not use a Latin alphabet (for example, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script), an International Driving Permit (IDP) is required alongside your original license. For licenses in English or using a Latin alphabet, an IDP is recommended but not mandatory.

All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted at the Payless counter in Kentucky. Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit hold.

Yes, a major credit card in the main driver's name with the driver's name printed on the physical card is required at every Payless location in Kentucky to cover the security deposit hold.

At pickup, the Payless counter will place a temporary authorization hold on your card. This is not a charge, but it reduces your available credit until the hold is released after you return the vehicle. For standard cars rented in the United States, typical holds range from approximately US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount is set by the rental company at the counter.

Important points to keep in mind for your Kentucky Payless pickup:

• Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted for the deposit hold
• Digital wallets and virtual card numbers are not accepted
• The card must be physically present and have the driver's name printed on it
• Even if you prepaid your booking online, you must still present a credit card at the counter

Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined, and notify your bank of your travel plans to avoid fraud blocks on the authorization.

The minimum age to rent from Payless in Kentucky without a young-renter surcharge is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent but will be charged a daily underage fee at the counter.

For Payless in Kentucky, the additional driver fee structure also applies to age: additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old at the time of pickup. If an additional driver is under 25, they may be denied or charged the underage surcharge.

The young-renter daily fee for Payless in Kentucky is US$13 per rental day plus applicable taxes, with a maximum charge of US$65 plus taxes for the rental period.

Drivers under 25 renting in Kentucky are also restricted from certain vehicle classes. Economy, compact, and intermediate categories are typically available, while full-size, SUV, luxury, premium, minivan, and convertible classes are generally reserved for renters aged 25 and older.

All renters, regardless of age, must present a valid driver's license and a major credit card in the main driver's name at the Payless counter in Kentucky.

Yes, most bookings made through Hola Car Rentals for your Payless rental in Kentucky include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection, at no extra cost.

• Travel insurance with medical coverage for up to 5 passengers
• Legal assistance in case of an accident
• Compensation for luggage lost by the airline

Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call. Please note that this benefit does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada. Check your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your Kentucky Payless reservation.

Payless rentals in Kentucky 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, check the fuel gauge with the Payless agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on the rental agreement. Take a photo of the dashboard showing the gauge and odometer.

When returning your Payless vehicle in Kentucky, refuel within approximately 10 miles of the return location so the gauge does not drop before you arrive. Keep your fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address as proof.

If you return the vehicle below the recorded starting level, Payless may charge you:

• The cost of the fuel shortfall at the partner's refueling rate, which is typically higher than retail pump prices
• An additional refueling service fee

For after-hours returns at Kentucky Payless locations, leave the fuel receipt in the key envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge on your phone. Using the correct fuel type is also important, as wrong-fuel incidents are not covered by the fuel policy and may generate additional charges.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Payless rental in Kentucky, but the additional driver must be present at the counter during pickup with their own valid driver's license.

Whether the additional driver fee is included or charged at the counter depends on the rate you booked. Check your booking confirmation for the line that reads additional driver free of charge. If it is not listed as included, Payless in Kentucky charges US$13 per rental day plus taxes, with a maximum of US$65 plus taxes for the rental period.

Key requirements for adding a driver at a Kentucky Payless location:

• The additional driver must be physically present at pickup to sign the rental agreement
• They must present a valid driver's license and meet the same document requirements as the main driver
• For Payless, additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old
• If the additional driver's license uses a non-Latin alphabet, an International Driving Permit is also required

Only drivers listed on the rental agreement are covered by the vehicle's protections. Anyone who drives the Kentucky Payless vehicle without being named on the contract may void coverage.

The insurance and protection options available with your Payless rental in Kentucky depend on the rate plan you selected when booking through Hola Car Rentals.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) reduces your financial liability for damage to the rental vehicle caused by a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation explicitly states zero deductible. CDW and LDW do not cover damage to other vehicles or injuries to other people.

For third-party liability, which covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving in Kentucky, you can add Liability Insurance Supplementary (LIS) to your booking. Some U.S. states require a minimum level of third-party liability to be included, but not all do. Hola Car Rentals strongly recommends adding LIS coverage for your Kentucky Payless rental.

Common exclusions to be aware of:

• Tires, wheels, undercarriage, and roof damage are often not covered
• Prohibited use such as off-road driving or driving under the influence voids coverage
• Only drivers named on the rental agreement are covered

Review your Hola Car Rentals confirmation and the rental agreement at the Payless counter in Kentucky to confirm exactly what is included before driving away.

Yes, one-way rentals are possible with Payless in Kentucky, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on your route.

When booking a one-way rental, the drop-off fee is calculated based on the specific route, the rental company, the vehicle class, and the dates. For your Kentucky Payless booking, this fee will appear under the To pay at destination section during checkout if it applies to your route. It will also be listed on your booking confirmation.

General patterns to expect:

• Returning to a different Kentucky airport or city typically incurs a drop-off fee
• Cross-state one-way rentals from Kentucky to another state usually carry a fee and may have availability restrictions
• Cross-border rentals (for example, driving into Canada) require prior authorization and may not be permitted

The drop-off fee cannot be prepaid and is paid directly at the Payless counter in Kentucky at pickup. If the counter charges a fee that was not shown on your Hola Car Rentals confirmation, keep all paperwork and contact support, as the No Extra Charges© guarantee may apply.

Always confirm one-way availability and the exact fee for your specific Kentucky Payless route before completing your booking.
