Will I face unexpected charges at the Thrifty counter at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas when I book through Hola Car Rentals?
No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Thrifty booking at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas 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 Thrifty 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 Thrifty counter at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas 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 Thrifty 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 Thrifty counter at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?
The Thrifty counter at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas is located inside the main parking garage on Level 3 Valet, at 3355 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, NV 89109.
To reach it, enter through the main Strip entrance and walk through the casino following the overhead signs to the parking garage elevators. The entire walk is indoors, so there is no outdoor exposure. The bell desk can hold your luggage while you complete the Thrifty pickup process.
Counter hours at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas are daily from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. If you are arriving late at night, plan to use a taxi or rideshare to the hotel and pick up your Thrifty vehicle the following morning during operating hours.
What are the Thrifty counter hours at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?
The Thrifty counter at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas is open daily from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
These hours are significantly more limited than the Thrifty location at Harry Reid International Airport, which operates from 6 a.m. to midnight daily. If your plans require a very early morning departure or a late-afternoon pickup after 4 p.m., you may need to consider the airport location instead.
For late-night arrivals, the recommended approach is to travel directly to The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas by taxi or rideshare and then collect your Thrifty rental the next morning when the counter reopens. No after-hours key pickup is available at this location based on current information, so planning around the 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. window is essential.
Is there a hotel concession fee when renting from Thrifty at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?
Yes, renting a car at a hotel location such as The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas typically involves a Hotel Concession Fee Recovery (HCFR) that is added on top of the base rental rate.
Hotel-based rental locations on the Las Vegas Strip charge facility recovery fees that are substantially higher than the standard taxes and fees at Harry Reid International Airport. At the airport, combined taxes and fees typically total around 18.85%, while hotel Strip locations can charge a concession recovery fee of around 32% or more on top of the base rate.
When comparing Thrifty rates, keep in mind that a reservation picked up at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas will generally cost more in total fees than the same Thrifty vehicle class picked up at the airport Rent-A-Car Center. Your booking confirmation will show which fees are included and which are due at the counter, so review it carefully before pickup.
Hola Car Rentals' No Extra Charges© guarantee protects you if any fee not disclosed on your confirmation is added at the Thrifty counter.
Are there toll roads near The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas for Thrifty rentals?
No, Nevada has no toll roads, so driving your Thrifty rental from The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas on any public highway, interstate, or state route in Nevada costs nothing in tolls.
Common routes you might drive include I-15, US-95, and SR-160, all of which are completely toll-free. There are also no congestion charges or emissions zone fees anywhere in Nevada.
However, if you plan to drive your Thrifty rental from The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas into neighboring states such as California, toll roads do exist there. California uses the FasTrak system on many freeways and bridges. In that case, Hola Car Rentals' Tolls Cashback benefit applies: you can claim up to 5% of your total booking value back for tolls paid during your rental. To claim, email [email protected] within 30 days of returning your Thrifty vehicle, attaching your reservation confirmation, rental agreement, and toll receipts.
What documents do I need to pick up a Thrifty rental at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?
To collect your Thrifty rental at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas, you must bring the following physical documents:
- Your original, unexpired driver's license in the main driver's name
- A major credit card with the driver's 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 other non-English licenses, an IDP is strongly recommended. Obtain your IDP in your home country before traveling, as it cannot be issued abroad.
All documents presented at the Thrifty counter at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas must be physical originals. Digital copies on a phone or tablet are not accepted.
Do I need an International Driving Permit for a Thrifty rental at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?
It depends on your license. For a Thrifty rental at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory if your driver's license uses a non-Latin alphabet such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script. In that case, you must carry both your original license and the IDP together at all times.
If your license is in English or uses the Latin alphabet but is issued outside the United States, an IDP is strongly recommended but not strictly required by law. However, the Thrifty counter at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas may request one, so having it avoids any complications at pickup.
Important: the IDP is a translation document only. It is not a standalone license and will not be accepted without your original driver's license. Obtain your IDP from an authorized issuer in your home country before you travel, as it cannot be issued once you are abroad.
What is the minimum age to rent a Thrifty car at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?
The minimum age to rent a Thrifty car at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas without a surcharge is 25 years old.
Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent from Thrifty at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas, but a daily young-renter surcharge applies. For Thrifty, this fee is US$13.50 per rental day plus taxes, with a maximum cap of US$189 plus taxes for the rental period.
Additionally, drivers under 25 are restricted from renting certain vehicle classes. Categories such as full-size, SUV, luxury, premium, convertible, minivan, and van are typically reserved for renters aged 25 and older. Economy, compact, and intermediate vehicles are generally available to younger renters.
Drivers under 21 cannot rent from Thrifty at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas. If you are unsure whether your age affects your booking, contact Hola Car Rentals support via WhatsApp at +1 (786) 999-8312 before completing your reservation.
How does the security deposit work for a Thrifty rental at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?
When you pick up your Thrifty rental at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas, the counter will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card. This is not a charge; it reduces your available credit until the hold 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 Venetian Hotel Las Vegas may vary based on the vehicle class and rental duration. Thrifty sets the final hold amount at the counter.
- Only a major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card is accepted for the deposit
- Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted
- The card must be in the main driver's name
- Ensure you have sufficient available credit beyond the hold amount
After returning your Thrifty vehicle, the hold is released, but your bank controls how quickly it reappears in your available balance. This can take up to 15 business days. Bringing a backup credit card is always a good precaution when picking up at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas.
Can I add an additional driver to my Thrifty rental at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?
Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Thrifty rental at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas, but the additional driver must be present at the counter at the time of pickup.
For Thrifty at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas, the additional driver fee is US$13.50 per rental day plus taxes, with a maximum cap of US$189 plus taxes, unless your booking confirmation explicitly states that an additional driver is included at no charge.
- The additional driver must bring a valid driver's license and any required IDP
- Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement
- The additional driver must meet the same minimum age requirements as the main driver
- Only drivers listed on the Thrifty rental agreement are covered by the vehicle's protections
Check your booking confirmation before arriving at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas to confirm whether an additional driver is included in your rate or will be charged at the counter. Anyone who drives the Thrifty vehicle without being listed on the agreement is not covered.
What fuel policy applies to Thrifty rentals at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?
Thrifty rentals at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.
- At pickup, check the fuel gauge with the Thrifty 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 of the return location before dropping off the vehicle
- Keep your final fuel receipt as proof in case of any dispute
If you return the Thrifty vehicle to The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas 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 an administrative service fee.
If the tank is not full at pickup, ask the Thrifty agent to record the exact starting level on the agreement. You are then only required to return it at that same level, not necessarily full.
Can I pick up a Thrifty car at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas and return it at the airport?
Yes, one-way rentals are possible with Thrifty, allowing you to pick up at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas and return at Harry Reid International Airport, but a drop-off fee may apply.
One-way fees are route-specific and set by Thrifty. The fee, if applicable, will be shown during the booking process under the "To pay at destination" section of your confirmation. It cannot be prepaid and is due at the Thrifty counter at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas at pickup.
- Review your booking confirmation carefully to see if a drop-off fee is listed
- If no fee appears, no one-way charge applies to your specific route
- The fee is separate from fuel, tolls, and taxes
If you need to change your return location after booking, contact Hola Car Rentals support, as mid-rental route changes must be approved by Thrifty and may result in repricing or an updated drop-off fee.
Does travel assistance apply to my Thrifty rental at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?
Yes, most Hola Car Rentals bookings include travel assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection, and this applies to your Thrifty rental at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas, with one important exception: this benefit does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada.
For eligible renters, the travel assistance coverage typically includes:
- Travel insurance with medical coverage for up to 5 passengers
- Legal assistance in the event of a road accident
- Compensation for luggage lost by the airline
- Flight cancellation insurance
If you experience a medical emergency or accident while driving your Thrifty rental away from The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas, such as on a highway or in a remote area, contact the assistance line immediately before incurring expenses, as some reimbursements require prior authorization.
- Phone (24/7): +1 888 980 9992
- WhatsApp: +1 208 910 1001
- Email: [email protected]
Always check your booking confirmation for the exact coverage terms and limits that apply to your Thrifty reservation.
What insurance options are available for a Thrifty rental at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?
When picking up your Thrifty rental at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas, two main types of protection are relevant to understand before you arrive at the counter.
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) reduces your financial liability for damage to the Thrifty vehicle itself from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation explicitly states zero deductible. CDW and LDW do not cover damage you cause to other vehicles or people.
Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI) covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving the Thrifty rental at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas or on Nevada roads. Note that not all U.S. states require rental companies to include minimum liability coverage, so confirming this protection is in your booking is strongly recommended.
- CDW/LDW covers the rental vehicle only
- LIS/ALI/SLI covers third parties only
- Neither covers your personal injuries or belongings
- Only drivers named on the Thrifty rental agreement are covered
Review your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation before arriving at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas to confirm which protections are included in your rate and whether any deductible applies.
