Will I face unexpected charges at the Payless counter in Salt Lake City when I book through Hola Car Rentals?
No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Payless booking in Salt Lake 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 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 Salt Lake 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 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)
Where is the Payless counter at Salt Lake City Airport?
The Payless counter in Salt Lake City is located at 3921 West Terminal Drive, Salt Lake City, UT 84122, which is an off-airport facility served by a shuttle from the terminal.
After collecting your baggage at Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC), follow the signs to the rental car shuttle area and board the Payless shuttle to reach the counter at 3921 West Terminal Drive. The Payless Salt Lake City counter is open daily from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. There is no downtown or city center Payless location in Salt Lake City, so the airport facility is your only pickup option.
Plan for some extra time after landing to account for the shuttle ride and counter check-in process before you are on the road.
What are the Payless counter hours at Salt Lake City Airport?
The Payless counter at Salt Lake City International Airport operates daily from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, seven days a week.
There are no after-hours pickup or return arrangements listed for the Payless Salt Lake City location, so plan your arrival and return accordingly. If your flight lands close to or after 10:00 PM, your booking may be held for up to 24 hours from the original pickup time, but you would need to return during operating hours to collect the vehicle.
If a flight delay pushes your arrival beyond the counter's closing time, contact support as soon as possible so your reservation is not forfeited. Vehicle return at the Payless Salt Lake City facility follows the same address at 3921 West Terminal Drive, and you should aim to return during staffed hours to avoid any complications.
What documents do I need to pick up a Payless rental car in Salt Lake City?
To pick up your Payless rental car in Salt Lake City, 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 card, used for the security deposit hold
- A passport or valid government-issued photo ID
- Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
- Round-trip flight tickets (required for international visitors)
If your driver's license 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 alongside your original license. For other non-English licenses, an IDP is strongly recommended.
All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies shown on a phone are not accepted at the Payless Salt Lake City counter. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit hold.
Are there toll roads near Salt Lake City that affect Payless rentals?
Yes, there are toll roads near Salt Lake City that can affect your Payless rental, and it is important to understand how they work before you drive.
Utah operates the I-15 Express Lanes, a cashless managed lane network running approximately 62 miles from Spanish Fork to Layton Parkway, passing through the Salt Lake City area. Tolls are collected electronically via transponders such as Express Pass, which is compatible with E-ZPass. The regular lanes on I-15 remain free and untolled, so you can avoid the Express Lanes entirely if you prefer.
If you do use the Express Lanes, typical toll costs range from a minimum of US$0.25 to a maximum of US$1.00 per segment for solo drivers, billed after your trip. Carpools with two or more occupants may qualify for a 100% exemption if using an Express Pass set to HOV mode.
Your Payless rental vehicle in Salt Lake City will include an electronic toll device. At the counter you can choose an unlimited toll package (typically US$11 to US$25 per day) or pay per use, where actual tolls plus administrative fees are charged to your card after the rental. Driving through a cashless toll without enrolling in a program can result in the highest available rate plus additional processing fees billed weeks later.
How does the security deposit work for a Payless rental in Salt Lake City?
When you pick up your Payless rental car in Salt Lake City, the counter will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card. This is not a charge but it reduces your available credit until it is released after you return the vehicle.
For standard vehicles in the United States, typical holds range from US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount at the Payless Salt Lake City counter depends on the vehicle class, rental duration, and location policy. Premium or larger vehicles may carry a higher hold.
Key requirements for the deposit at the Payless Salt Lake City counter:
- A physical major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card
- The card must be in the main driver's name
- Sufficient available credit to cover the hold plus any expected charges
- Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted
After you return the vehicle, the hold is released, but your bank controls when it appears back on your available credit, which can take up to 15 business days. Bringing a backup credit card is always a good precaution.
Can I get Tolls Cashback on my Payless rental in Salt Lake City?
Yes, all bookings made through Hola Car Rentals, including Payless rentals in Salt Lake City, include Tolls Cashback, which lets you recover up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your rental.
This is especially useful in Salt Lake City, where the I-15 Express Lanes are cashless and toll charges can accumulate across your trip. You still pay tolls normally through the Payless toll program or your own transponder, and then claim reimbursement afterward.
To claim your Tolls Cashback after returning your Payless Salt Lake City rental:
- Email [email protected] within 30 days of vehicle return
- Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback - Reservation {Your Confirmation Number}
- Attach your Hola Car Rentals confirmation, the signed rental agreement, and a toll receipt or statement showing charges paid
Refunds are issued to the original payment method used for your reservation and typically process within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Claims submitted after 30 days are not accepted.
Is there a young driver surcharge for under-25 renters at Payless in Salt Lake City?
Yes, drivers under 25 years old are subject to a young-renter surcharge when picking up a Payless rental car in Salt Lake City.
In the United States, the standard minimum age to rent without additional fees is 25. At the Payless Salt Lake City counter, drivers aged 21 to 24 may rent but will be charged a daily young-renter surcharge on top of the base rental rate. Drivers under 21 are generally not eligible to rent.
For Payless in Salt Lake City, the additional driver fee structure also applies an age restriction: additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old at the time of pickup.
Vehicle class restrictions also apply to under-25 renters. Categories such as full-size, SUV, premium, luxury, minivan, and convertible are typically restricted. Eligible classes for younger renters are usually limited to economy, compact, and intermediate vehicles.
If you are between 21 and 24 and traveling from Latin America or the Caribbean, check your Hola Car Rentals confirmation to see if an underage fee waiver applies to your specific rate with Payless in Salt Lake City.
Can I add an additional driver to my Payless rental in Salt Lake City?
Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Payless rental in Salt Lake City, but the additional driver must be present at the counter at the time of pickup with their own valid driver's license.
If your Hola Car Rentals confirmation does not include an additional driver at no charge, the Payless Salt Lake City counter will charge a fee of US$13 per rental day plus taxes, capped at US$65 plus taxes for the rental period.
Requirements for adding an additional driver at the Payless Salt Lake City counter:
- The additional driver must be physically present at pickup
- They must present a valid driver's license (and an IDP if their license uses a non-Latin alphabet)
- For Payless, additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old
- 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 and additional charges could apply.
What fuel policy applies to Payless rentals in Salt Lake City?
Payless rentals in Salt Lake City follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy by default. 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 Payless agent and confirm it is recorded on the rental agreement. Take a photo of the dashboard showing the gauge and odometer before leaving the Salt Lake City facility at 3921 West Terminal Drive.
When returning your Payless rental in Salt Lake City:
- 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
- Take a photo of the full gauge at the pump as evidence
If you return the vehicle below the recorded starting level, Payless may charge you for the fuel shortfall at their own refueling rate, which is typically higher than retail pump prices, plus an additional service fee. Returning the tank full is always the most cost-effective approach for your Salt Lake City rental.
Is a one-way rental possible with Payless in Salt Lake City?
Yes, one-way rentals with Payless in Salt Lake City are possible, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on your return location.
When you select a different return location during the booking process on the Hola Car Rentals website, the system will calculate whether a drop-off fee applies and display it under the "To pay at destination" section of the checkout screen. Common patterns include:
- Same-city airport to downtown or vice versa: often no drop-off fee
- Salt Lake City to another city in Utah or a neighboring state: a drop-off fee typically applies and varies by distance and vehicle class
- Long-distance or cross-country routes: fees are usually higher and some routes may not be available
The drop-off fee for your Payless Salt Lake City rental cannot be prepaid and is paid directly at the counter. Review your booking confirmation carefully to confirm the fee amount before pickup. If the counter charges a different amount than what appears on your confirmation, keep all paperwork and contact Hola Car Rentals support after the rental is complete.
What insurance coverage is included in a Payless rental in Salt Lake City?
The insurance coverage included in your Payless rental in Salt Lake City depends on the rate plan you selected when booking through Hola Car Rentals. Always check your booking confirmation for the specific protections listed.
Common coverage types available for Payless rentals in Salt Lake City include:
- Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): reduces your financial liability for damage to the rental vehicle from a collision or covered event. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation states zero deductible
- Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI): covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving. Some U.S. states require a minimum level of liability, but not all do
CDW/LDW does not cover damage to other vehicles or injuries to third parties. LIS/ALI/SLI does not cover damage to the Payless rental vehicle itself. These two coverages complement each other.
Optional add-ons such as personal accident insurance, personal effects coverage, and premium roadside assistance are not included by default and can be added at the Payless Salt Lake City counter for an additional daily fee.
Does my Payless booking in Salt Lake City include travel assistance?
Most Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Payless rentals in Salt Lake City, include travel assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection. However, this benefit does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada.
For eligible travelers, the travel assistance coverage typically includes:
- Medical coverage for up to 5 passengers for accidents and non-pre-existing illnesses
- Legal assistance in the event of an accident, which can be valuable if an incident occurs on Utah highways such as I-15 or I-80 near Salt Lake City
- Compensation for baggage lost by the airline
- Flight cancellation insurance
This coverage is not a substitute for CDW/LDW (which covers the Payless rental vehicle) or LIS/ALI/SLI (which covers third-party liability). It is a separate travel protection benefit.
If you need assistance during your Payless rental in Salt Lake City, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day at +1 888 980 9992 or via WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call.
Do I need an International Driving Permit for a Payless rental in Salt Lake City?
An International Driving Permit (IDP) is not always mandatory for a Payless rental in Salt Lake City, but it is strongly recommended in certain situations.
In the United States, visitors can generally drive with a valid foreign license. However, an IDP is mandatory at the Payless Salt Lake City counter if your driver's license uses a non-Latin (Roman) alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script. In that case, you must present both your original license and the IDP together.
For licenses in other non-English scripts or languages, an IDP is not strictly required but is highly recommended to avoid any issues at the counter.
Important points to keep in mind:
- An IDP is a translation document only and is not valid without your original license
- You must obtain your IDP in your home country before traveling to Salt Lake City, as it cannot be issued abroad
- All documents presented at the Payless Salt Lake City counter must be physical originals; digital copies are not accepted
Check your booking confirmation and confirm document requirements before your trip to ensure a smooth pickup at the Payless Salt Lake City facility.
