No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your SUV booking in Maryland 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, whether you are renting an SUV or any other vehicle class. This is a pricing guarantee (not insurance) that protects you if the counter in Maryland 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 rental 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)
• Usage-based charges (tolls, fuel shortfall, traffic fines)

Several major rental brands offer SUV options at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI), Maryland's primary airport. Available brands include Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, National, and Thrifty, among others.

Common SUV models you may find at BWI in Maryland include:

• Compact and midsize options: Mazda CX-5, Hyundai Tucson, Jeep Compass, Toyota RAV4, Nissan Rogue, Chevrolet Equinox
• Larger options: Jeep Wrangler, BMW X3, BMW X5, Volvo XC60, Hyundai Santa Fe, Chevrolet Tahoe

Pricing for a SUV in Maryland typically starts around US$30 to US$36 per day, with averages ranging from US$49 to US$57 per day depending on dates, brand, and vehicle class. Because SUV availability and rates vary by travel dates, booking in advance is recommended to secure your preferred model at BWI.

When picking up a SUV rental at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) in Maryland, your rental counter will not be inside the terminal. All major rental brands operate from a consolidated off-terminal facility on New Ridge Road, with specific addresses varying by brand:

• 7434 New Ridge Rd (Sixt and Alamo, open 24 hours)
• 7440 New Ridge Rd
• 7416 New Ridge Rd
• 7410 New Ridge Rd

After collecting your bags, follow the rental car shuttle signs inside the terminal to reach the designated shuttle stop. Shuttles run continuously between the terminal and the rental car area on New Ridge Road. Check your booking confirmation to confirm which brand and address applies to your SUV reservation in Maryland.

Most BWI rental counters operate from 06:00 to 23:00 daily. The location at 7434 New Ridge Rd offers 24-hour service. If your flight arrives late, verify your brand's counter hours before arrival to avoid any issues with your SUV pickup.

To pick up a SUV rental in Maryland, 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 (debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit)
• A passport or valid government-issued photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher if required
• 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 your Maryland SUV rental. For licenses in English or using a Latin alphabet, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required.

All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted at the counter. Obtain your IDP in your home country before traveling, as it cannot be issued abroad.

Maryland operates a primarily cashless toll system, and as a SUV renter in Maryland you will likely encounter tolls on several major routes. Key tolled facilities include:

• Fort McHenry Tunnel (I-95): US$3 to US$6
• Baltimore Harbor Thruway Tunnel (I-895): US$3 to US$6
• John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway (I-95): US$6 to US$12
• Governor Harry W. Nice Memorial Bridge (US-301): US$4.50 to US$9
• William Preston Lane Jr. Memorial (Bay) Bridge: US$2.50 with E-ZPass
• Intercounty Connector (MD 200): US$0.07 to US$0.35 per mile

Your SUV rental vehicle in Maryland will come equipped with an electronic toll device. At the counter you can choose an unlimited toll package (typically US$11 to US$25 per day, with some brands like National charging US$4.95 per day plus actual tolls up to a US$34.65 cap). If you decline the package, the rental company will charge you the actual toll amounts plus administrative processing fees after the rental ends.

If you prefer to manage tolls independently, you can use Maryland's Pay-by-Plate system, which invoices you by mail, or set up your own E-ZPass account. Unpaid tolls result in a mailed invoice, and failure to pay can lead to civil penalties and vehicle registration suspension.

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 SUV rental in Maryland.

Given that Maryland has several cashless toll roads, including the Fort McHenry Tunnel, the Bay Bridge, and the Kennedy Memorial Highway, SUV renters in Maryland can accumulate meaningful toll costs. The Tolls Cashback benefit helps offset those expenses.

To claim your cashback after your Maryland SUV rental:

• Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle
• Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback - HOLA[your confirmation number]
• Attach your Hola Car Rentals confirmation, the signed rental agreement, and a toll receipt or statement showing charges paid

The refund is capped at 5% of your booking total. For example, if your booking total was US$600, the maximum cashback is US$30. If your actual tolls were less than that cap, you receive the exact toll amount paid. Refunds are processed to your original payment method within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Late submissions received after 30 days are not accepted.

When picking up a SUV rental in Maryland, the rental company will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card at the counter. For most locations in the United States, including Maryland, this hold is typically between US$300 and US$400 for standard vehicles. For larger or premium SUV classes, the hold may be higher.

This is not a charge. It is a temporary authorization that reduces your available credit until the rental company releases it after you return the vehicle. Your bank controls how quickly the hold disappears from your statement, and it can take up to 15 business days after release.

Important requirements for the deposit on your Maryland SUV rental:

• The credit card must be a major credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, etc.) with the driver's name printed on the physical card
• Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted for the security hold
• The card must have sufficient available credit to cover the hold plus any expected charges

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

Yes, drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent a SUV in Maryland, but a young-renter surcharge applies and certain SUV classes are restricted.

In Maryland, as in most U.S. states, the standard minimum age without surcharges is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 are permitted to rent but will pay a daily young-renter fee that varies by brand:

• Avis, Budget, and Payless: US$13 per rental day plus taxes, capped at US$65 plus taxes
• Hertz, Thrifty, and Dollar: US$13.50 per rental day plus taxes, capped at US$189 plus taxes
• Alamo, National, and Enterprise: US$15 per day plus taxes

Vehicle class restrictions also apply. For a SUV rental in Maryland, drivers under 25 are generally limited to compact and intermediate SUV categories. Full-size SUV models, premium SUV classes, and luxury vehicles are typically restricted to renters aged 25 and older.

If you are between 21 and 24 and from Latin America or the Caribbean, certain Avis and Budget rates through Hola Car Rentals may waive the young-renter fee for eligible SUV categories. Check your booking confirmation to see if this waiver applies to your Maryland SUV reservation.

The standard fuel policy for a SUV rental in Maryland is Full-to-Full. You receive the SUV with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.

To follow the Full-to-Full policy correctly during your Maryland SUV rental:

• At pickup, 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 before you arrive
• Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address
• For after-hours returns at BWI, leave the receipt in the key envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge

If you return the SUV in Maryland with less than a full tank, the rental company may charge you for the fuel shortfall at their own refueling rate, which is typically higher than the pump price, plus an administrative service fee. Keeping your receipt is the best way to dispute any incorrect fuel charge after your Maryland SUV rental ends.

Yes, most bookings include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection, and this applies to SUV rentals in Maryland as well. However, this benefit is available only to non-North American customers. Residents of the United States and Canada do not qualify.

If you are visiting Maryland from outside North America and are driving a SUV on Maryland highways such as I-95 or I-695, travel assistance can be valuable in unexpected situations. Coverage typically includes:

• Medical coverage for up to 5 passengers for accidents and non-pre-existing illnesses
• Legal assistance in the event of a road accident
• Compensation for baggage lost by the airline
• Flight cancellation insurance

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

To use travel assistance during your Maryland SUV rental, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day at +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free) or via WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call. Always contact them before incurring medical expenses, as some reimbursements require prior authorization.

If you drive through a cashless toll road in Maryland without paying, a camera captures your SUV rental's license plate and a mailed invoice is sent to the registered owner, which is the rental company. The rental company then passes the charge on to you, typically along with an administrative processing fee.

If the invoice is not paid by the due date, a civil penalty and citation can follow, and repeated non-payment can result in suspension of the vehicle's registration. Because the vehicle is a rental SUV, the rental company may charge the full amount plus fees directly to the credit card on file from your Maryland rental.

To avoid toll violations during your Maryland SUV rental:

• Enroll in the rental company's toll program at the counter (such as National's TollPass at US$4.95 per day plus actual tolls)
• Use Maryland's E-ZPass system if you have your own account
• Use the Pay-by-Plate option and pay the mailed invoice promptly before the due date

If you believe a toll charge on your final rental invoice is incorrect, gather your rental agreement, the toll statement, and your booking confirmation, then contact Hola Car Rentals support for assistance reviewing the charge.

Yes, Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) coverage reduces your financial liability for damage to the SUV during your Maryland rental, but it does not eliminate all costs and does not cover everything.

What CDW/LDW typically covers for your Maryland SUV rental:

• Collision damage to the rental SUV from a covered incident
• Theft or vandalism of the SUV
• Repairs up to the vehicle's value, minus any applicable deductible or excess

What CDW/LDW does not cover:

• Third-party liability, meaning injury or property damage you cause to others (you need LIS/ALI/SLI for that)
• Damage from prohibited use such as off-road driving, DUI, or unauthorized drivers
• Tires, wheels, undercarriage, roof, or keys unless specifically included
• Incidents not reported promptly to the rental company

At the counter in Maryland, verify that CDW/LDW is listed on your rental agreement and note the deductible amount. Only drivers named on the agreement are covered. If you plan to drive your SUV across state lines from Maryland, confirm that coverage remains valid in those states as well.

Returning a SUV rental at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) in Maryland requires dropping the vehicle at the correct address on New Ridge Road, which varies by brand:

• 7434 New Ridge Rd: Sixt and Alamo (open 24 hours, after-hours key drop available)
• 7440 New Ridge Rd
• 7416 New Ridge Rd
• 7410 New Ridge Rd

Check your rental agreement to confirm the exact return address for your SUV in Maryland. Before returning, refuel the SUV within approximately 10 miles of the BWI return location to comply with the Full-to-Full fuel policy and avoid refueling charges.

For after-hours returns of your Maryland SUV rental, the 24-hour location at 7434 New Ridge Rd accepts key drops. Leave your fuel receipt in the key envelope and take a photo of the fuel gauge showing a full tank as documentation.

After dropping off the SUV, a shuttle will take you back to the BWI terminal. Allow extra time for the shuttle connection if you have a flight to catch. Request a final receipt from the agent if the counter is open, or follow up using the contact on your rental agreement to obtain your closing invoice.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your SUV rental in Maryland, either at no cost if your rate includes it or for a daily fee paid at the counter.

Check your booking confirmation for the line that reads "Additional driver free of charge." If it appears, the first additional driver is included at no extra cost. If it does not appear, the daily fees for your Maryland SUV rental are:

• Avis, Budget, and Payless: US$13 per day plus taxes, capped at US$65 plus taxes
• Hertz, Thrifty, and Dollar: US$13.50 per day plus taxes, capped at US$189 plus taxes
• Alamo, National, and Enterprise: US$15 per day plus taxes

The additional driver must be present at the BWI counter in Maryland at the time of pickup. They must bring their own valid driver's license and any required International Driving Permit if their license uses a non-Latin alphabet. 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 SUV in Maryland, coverage may be void and additional charges could apply. For Avis, Budget, and Payless, additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old.
