No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Payless booking in Virginia 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 Virginia 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)

Yes, Virginia uses E-ZPass as its primary electronic toll system, and your Payless rental car in Virginia will come equipped with an electronic toll device for cashless toll roads.

At the Payless counter in Virginia you can choose how to handle tolls:

• Enroll in a toll program (typically US$11 to US$25 per day depending on the partner) and all tolls are billed automatically
• Opt out and pay tolls manually where cash or credit card lanes are available
• Use your own E-ZPass transponder if you already have one, but inform the counter agent so the vehicle's default device can be deactivated to avoid duplicate charges

If you drive through a cashless toll without enrolling in a program, Payless will charge the toll amount plus administrative processing fees to your credit card after the rental ends. Toll charges can appear days or even weeks after you return the vehicle, as toll agencies process invoices in batches.

Keep all toll receipts during your Virginia rental, as you may be eligible for Tolls Cashback through Hola Car Rentals.

Toll costs on Virginia roads vary by route and vehicle type. Here are typical rates you may encounter during your Payless rental in Virginia:

• Powhite Parkway: US$0.75 for 2-axle vehicles, US$1.25 for 4-axle vehicles
• Chesapeake Expressway (16 miles): US$4.00 for 2-axle cars, US$5.00 for 4-axle vehicles
• Pocahontas Parkway: US$4.85 for 2-axle vehicles, US$7.15 for 4-axle trucks
• I-66, I-495, I-95, and I-395 Express Lanes: dynamic pricing that fluctuates based on real-time traffic

If you pick up a toll program through Payless in Virginia, expect a fixed daily fee (generally US$3.99 to US$7.99 per day, often capped at around US$125 per rental month) on top of the actual toll amounts. This daily fee is charged for every day of the rental, regardless of whether you use a toll road that day.

If you skip the program and drive a cashless toll without paying, the Virginia Department of Transportation will issue a violation notice by mail, and Payless will pass on the toll plus processing fees to your credit card.

To collect your Payless rental car in Virginia, bring the following physical documents:

• Your original, unexpired driver's license (physical card, not a digital copy)
• A major credit card with your name printed on the card, in the main driver's name, for the security deposit hold
• A valid passport or 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 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 licenses in English or a Latin alphabet, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required at most Virginia Payless locations.

All documents must be physical originals. Digital versions shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted at the Payless counter in Virginia. A debit or prepaid card cannot be used for the security hold, so ensure you have a major credit card with sufficient available credit before arriving.

Yes, all Hola Car Rentals bookings for Payless in Virginia include Tolls Cashback, which reimburses up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your rental.

Virginia has several toll roads where this benefit applies, including the Powhite Parkway, Chesapeake Expressway, Pocahontas Parkway, and the dynamic-priced Express Lanes on I-66, I-495, I-95, and I-395.

To claim your cashback after your Virginia Payless rental:

• Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle
• Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback - Reservation {Your Confirmation Number}
• Attach your Hola Car Rentals confirmation, the signed rental agreement, and a receipt or statement showing the tolls paid
• Include your full name, travel dates, and the last 4 digits of the card used for the booking

The refund is processed to your original payment method and typically takes 7 to 10 business days after approval. Late submissions received after 30 days are not accepted. This benefit does not mean tolls are free during the rental; you still pay them normally and claim reimbursement afterward.

When you pick up your Payless rental car in Virginia, the counter will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card. 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, location, and season.

A few important points about the deposit for your Virginia Payless rental:

• The hold is not a charge; it temporarily reduces your available credit until released after you return the vehicle
• Premium or specialty vehicles may carry a higher hold amount
• Your bank controls when the hold disappears after drop-off, which can take up to 15 business days
• Only a physical major credit card with your name printed on it is accepted; debit cards and prepaid cards are not permitted

Hola Car Rentals cannot confirm the exact hold amount in advance, as final deposit rules are set by the Payless desk and local policy in Virginia. To avoid surprises, call your bank before travel to confirm your available credit covers the expected hold, and consider bringing a backup credit card in your name.

The minimum age to rent a Payless car in Virginia without a young-renter surcharge is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent but will be charged a daily underage fee on top of the base rental rate.

For Payless in Virginia, the additional driver fee structure for young renters is US$13 per rental day plus taxes, with a maximum charge of US$65 plus taxes for the main driver's underage surcharge.

Drivers under 25 renting in Virginia through Payless should also be aware of vehicle class restrictions:

• Economy, compact, and intermediate categories are generally available to drivers aged 21 to 24
• Full-size sedans, SUVs, minivans, convertibles, luxury, and premium vehicles are typically restricted to drivers aged 25 and older

Virginia does not have the same state-law exception as New York or Michigan, so the standard 25-minimum policy applies at Payless locations across the state. Always confirm the exact surcharge amount on your booking confirmation, as fees can vary by location within Virginia.

Yes, Payless in Virginia charges a fee for additional drivers unless your booking confirmation explicitly states that an additional driver is included at no charge.

The standard Payless additional driver fee in Virginia is US$13 per rental day plus taxes, capped at a maximum of US$65 plus taxes for the rental period. This fee is paid at the counter when you pick up the vehicle.

To add an additional driver to your Payless rental in Virginia:

• The additional driver must be present at the counter at pick-up
• They must show a valid driver's license and any required IDP
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement
• For Payless in Virginia, additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old

Only drivers listed on the rental agreement are covered by protections such as CDW/LDW. If someone drives the vehicle who is not named on the contract, coverage may be void. Check your Hola Car Rentals confirmation before arriving at the Virginia Payless counter to see whether your rate includes a free additional driver.

Yes, most Hola Car Rentals bookings include travel assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection, which can help in situations such as a breakdown or accident on Virginia highways during your Payless rental.

Core benefits typically included are:

• Medical coverage for up to 5 passengers
• Legal assistance in case of an accident
• Compensation for luggage lost by the airline
• Flight cancellation insurance

If you need assistance during your Payless rental in Virginia, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day, 7 days a week before incurring expenses, as some reimbursements require prior authorization:

• Phone (toll-free or collect): +1 888 980 9992
• WhatsApp: +1 208 910 1001
• Email: [email protected]

Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call. Note that this travel assistance does not cover damage to the Payless rental vehicle itself (that requires CDW/LDW) or third-party liability (which requires LIS/ALI/SLI). This benefit applies only to non-North American customers; residents of the United States and Canada do not qualify.

If you drive through a toll road in Virginia without paying or without enrolling in a toll program through Payless, the Virginia Department of Transportation will issue a violation notice by mail to the registered owner of the vehicle, which is Payless.

Payless will then pass the toll charge plus administrative processing fees on to your credit card. These charges can appear days or even weeks after your rental ends, as toll agencies process invoices in batches.

To avoid unexpected post-rental charges on your Virginia Payless rental:

• Enroll in the Payless toll program at pick-up so all tolls are handled automatically
• If you opt out, plan your route to use cash or credit card lanes where available on Virginia toll roads
• Keep receipts for any tolls you pay manually during the rental period

If you believe a toll charge posted to your card after returning your Payless rental in Virginia is incorrect, gather your booking confirmation, rental agreement, and any toll receipts, then contact Hola Car Rentals support for assistance reviewing the charge with the partner.

Yes, Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) coverage is available for your Payless rental in Virginia, and whether it is included depends on the rate plan you selected at booking.

CDW/LDW reduces your financial liability for damage to the Payless rental vehicle caused by a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may still apply unless your confirmation explicitly shows zero deductible.

What CDW/LDW does not cover on your Virginia Payless rental:

• Damage or injury caused to third parties (that requires LIS/ALI/SLI liability coverage)
• Tires, wheels, undercarriage, and roof damage unless a specific add-on is purchased
• Incidents involving prohibited use such as off-road driving, DUI, or an unauthorized driver
• Damage not reported promptly to Payless

At the Payless counter in Virginia, review the rental agreement to confirm CDW/LDW is active and note the deductible amount. If an incident occurs, prioritize safety, contact local authorities if needed, and notify Payless immediately using the number on your confirmation. All drivers must be listed on the agreement for coverage to apply.

Yes, one-way rentals are possible with Payless in Virginia, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on the route you choose.

The drop-off fee is route-specific and varies by the cities involved, the vehicle class, and the season. For your Virginia Payless booking, the fee will be shown during the checkout process under the section labeled as amounts due at the destination. If no fee appears, your route does not carry a one-way charge.

Key things to know about one-way rentals with Payless in Virginia:

• Same-city airport to downtown routes often carry no drop-off fee
• City-to-city routes within Virginia or to neighboring states typically do carry a fee
• Cross-country or remote routes may not be permitted or may carry higher fees
• Changing your return location after booking may reprice the rental and recalculate the drop-off fee

The drop-off fee cannot be prepaid and is paid at the Payless counter in Virginia at pick-up. If the counter charges a different amount than shown on your confirmation, keep all paperwork and contact Hola Car Rentals support, as the No Extra Charges© guarantee may apply.

Payless rentals in Virginia 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.

To manage the fuel policy correctly during your Virginia Payless rental:

• At pick-up, check the fuel gauge with the agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on the rental agreement
• Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and fuel gauge
• Refuel within approximately 10 miles or 15 km of the return location so the gauge does not drop below full before you arrive
• Keep the final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address
• For after-hours returns, leave the receipt in the key envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge

If you return the Payless vehicle in Virginia 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 retail pump prices, plus a refueling service fee. Using the correct fuel type is also important, as wrong-fuel incidents are not covered by the fuel policy and may generate additional charges.

An International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory for your Payless rental in Virginia if your driver's license uses a non-Latin alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script. In all other cases, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required at most Virginia Payless locations.

Important points about the IDP for your Virginia Payless rental:

• The IDP is a translation document only; it is not a standalone license and must always be carried alongside your original driver's license
• Obtain your IDP in your home country before traveling to Virginia, as US-based issuers such as AAA do not issue IDPs to non-US license holders
• All documents presented at the Payless counter in Virginia must be physical originals; digital copies are not accepted
• Additional drivers on the Payless rental agreement must also meet the same document requirements, including an IDP if applicable

If you are unsure whether your license requires an IDP for your Virginia Payless rental, it is safest to obtain one before departure. Arriving without the required documents may result in the counter refusing to release the vehicle.
