"I really liked the reservation screen for pickup times...side by side let's you easy match pick-up drop off. The vehicles were the best price (discounted prices for European travelers in the US at thus writing), otherwise rental car prices are rather high these days. Insurance is about peace of mind. Hola is over the top covering many of those extras the agent wants you to buy. And toll coverage up to 5%. Super. Without human attendants anymore, it's complicated in the Bay Area and particularly expensive in Miami (!) Auto companies see it as an opportunity to sell you lots of Toll coverage. Finally, what I did not notice was, "not knowing what I was renting" which is often noticed just before you press 'book'. The question did not enter my mind, that's a good thing. Their AI agent, perfectly better. Very good advice. And I did have the need to cancel and rebook. With the app, effective and bug free. One refund was credited in a hour. Another may take a few days, but will post. Also the app will display prices in the currency you select. Looking forward to booking with Hola again"

"This is not the first time we’ve rented cars through Hola, and each time we’re absolutely satisfied! Their service is excellent — always available, providing immediate responses, quickly solving any issues with kindness, and handling everything directly with the rental companies when needed. Even when a refund was required, they took care of it fully without any hassle. The personal, reliable, and professional approach makes all the difference. A fantastic experience every time, and I’ll definitely keep renting through them and highly recommend them to everyone"

"The experience was excellent, fast and easy with the least effort required to chose a car. From past experience the counter experience was favourable at Budget Miami Airport with no issues. This was the first time an agent at a rental desk did not try to sell me additional insurance or toll pass. My only concerns for this booking was the price gap was too high for standard cars compared to the basic cars."

After completing the cancellation efficiently and promptly she went above and beyond to help me with several additional questions I had. Based on my experience I would highly recommend Hola Car Rentals Customer service and would definitely use them again. Their rental prices were very competitive too."

"As a Korean, I used the app to rent a car in California. The Dollar Rent-a-Car employee at the San Francisco branch was rude and insisted I purchase additional insurance ($25 per day) because the insurance I purchased through the Hola app was inadequate. However, Hola insisted that the full coverage policy applied and helped me cancel the additional insurance I had purchased at the Dollar Rent-a-Car location. I'm satisfied with Hola's customer service, but I think the Dollar Rent-a-Car employee's practice of selling additional insurance needs to be addressed."

"Wow! My first booking with Hola didn’t just meet expectations — they absolutely exceeded them in every possible way. So much so, that I made another rental booking immediately. I’m not usually someone who takes the time to write reviews, but this experience was so exceptional that I felt compelled to share it. At first, I thought I had secured a great price — but when I carefully reviewed the list of inclusions, I was genuinely blown away. In fact, it almost seemed too good to be true. I found myself double- and triple-checking my bookings, convinced there must have been some sort of system error. But no — everything was exactly as promised, and more - with NO extra cost. What truly stood out was the reaction from others. When I shared the pricing and inclusions with the Avis desk at the airport, hotel staff, as well as family and friends, they were equally astonished. Several even asked for your details on the spot — which says everything about the incredible value and service you provide. One thing worthy of note. Avis offered upgrades which I refused on the grounds that it might change the underlying agreement and result in added costs - be careful of adding extras at the point of collection. Regardless, the vehicles reserved were excellent. You have now become my absolute first choice — my go-to destination for rentals without hesitation. Experiences like this are rare, and you’ve set a new benchmark for excellence. Please keep up the outstanding work — you’ve gained a loyal customer for life."

Frequently Asked Questions

What does my van rental in Burlington through Hola Car Rentals include that other companies don't offer?

Hola Car Rentals is the only premium partner of the top car rental brands operating in Burlington, giving you exclusive access to our All Inclusive+ rate. This rate includes benefits that no other company can match, even when renting a van:

  • Free liability coverage starting at US$ 300,000 in case of an accident (applies only to certain rates and itineraries)
  • Toll cashback: recover up to 5% of the reservation's total value for toll charges incurred during your rental period
  • Premium travel medical assistance providing up to US$ 150,000 in coverage for a maximum of 5 passengers in case of a medical emergency, excluding pre-existing conditions
  • No Extra Charges© guarantee: if the counter charges you for something not listed on your confirmation and not an optional add-on you accepted, Hola Car Rentals will work to remove or reimburse the charge after verification

All of this comes at no extra cost, ensuring a fully protected van rental experience and peace of mind throughout your trip in Burlington.

Will I face unexpected charges when I rent a van in Burlington through Hola Car Rentals?

No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your van booking in Burlington 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 a van or any other vehicle class. This is a pricing guarantee (not insurance) that protects you if the counter in Burlington 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)
Where do I pick up my rental van at Burlington International Airport?

Rental van counters at Burlington International Airport (BTV) are located on-site at 1200 Airport Dr, South Burlington, VT 05403. After landing, proceed to baggage claim and then walk directly to the rental counters inside or adjacent to the terminal. No shuttle or bus is needed for major brands including Enterprise, Budget, Avis, Alamo, and National.

From the moment you clear baggage claim, expect roughly 20 to 45 minutes to complete paperwork and drive away in your van, assuming no delays at the counter.

Counter hours vary by brand:

  • Budget and Avis: approximately 7:00 AM to 12:15 AM daily
  • Enterprise: approximately 8:00 AM to 11:59 PM daily

If your Burlington van pickup falls outside staffed hours, Budget and Avis offer key-drop and after-hours return options at the airport lot. Confirm after-hours arrangements directly with your assigned brand before arrival.

Are there toll roads near Burlington that affect my van rental?

Vermont has no interstate toll roads, so driving a rental van around Burlington and most of the state is toll-free on standard highways.

The only toll facilities in Vermont are three seasonal mountain toll roads, none of which are part of electronic systems like E-ZPass or FasTrak:

  • Mt. Equinox Skyline Drive (Manchester area): US$20 per car plus US$5 per extra passenger, paid in cash at the gate
  • Burke Mountain toll road: US$5 per vehicle or US$15 for an all-day pass, paid in cash
  • Mt. Mansfield toll road (Stowe area): US$26 per car plus US$9.50 per extra passenger, paid by credit card only

Because these are manual pay-at-gate roads with no cameras or plate-based billing, the transponder programs offered by rental companies (such as PlatePass or e-toll) do not apply here. Simply pay at the gate when you arrive. If you cannot pay, access is denied at the booth and no invoice or surcharge is sent to your van rental account.

If you drive your Burlington van into neighboring states such as New York or Massachusetts, electronic tolls may apply there. Keep receipts for any tolls paid during your rental period.

What documents do I need to pick up a rental van in Burlington?

To collect your rental van in Burlington, bring the following physical documents to the counter:

  • 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 (debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit)
  • 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. For licenses in other non-English scripts, an IDP is strongly recommended. The IDP is a translation only and must be carried alongside your original license.

All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies shown on a phone are not accepted at the Burlington van rental counter. Name mismatches between your license, passport, and credit card are a common cause of delays, so verify they all match before you travel.

Can I get Tolls Cashback on my Burlington van rental even though Vermont has few toll roads?

Yes, Tolls Cashback is included on all Burlington van rental bookings, and it applies to any tolls you pay during the rental period, including tolls on roads outside Vermont.

If you drive your Burlington van into New York, Massachusetts, or other neighboring states with electronic or cash toll systems, those toll costs are eligible for reimbursement of up to 5% of your total booking value.

For Vermont's own mountain toll roads (Mt. Equinox, Burke Mountain, Mt. Mansfield), cash or credit card receipts from the toll gate serve as valid proof of payment for your claim.

To claim your cashback:

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

Refunds are processed to the original payment method within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Submissions received after 30 days are not accepted.

How old do I need to be to rent a van in Burlington?

To rent a van in Burlington without a young-renter surcharge, you must be at least 25 years old. Vans fall under the restricted vehicle categories that most rental partners reserve for drivers aged 25 and above.

Drivers aged 21 to 24 are generally not permitted to rent a van class vehicle in Burlington. Vermont is not New York or Michigan, where state law requires rentals to drivers aged 18 and over. In Vermont, the standard partner policy of 25 as the minimum age for vans applies.

If you are between 21 and 24 and need a vehicle in Burlington, you would need to select a smaller, unrestricted class such as Economy, Compact, or Compact SUV, which are typically available to younger renters with a daily young-renter surcharge.

Regardless of age, all renters must present a valid driver's license and a major credit card in their own name for the security deposit. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the deposit hold.

How much is the security deposit for a van rental in Burlington?

When you pick up your rental van in Burlington, the partner desk will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card. For van class vehicles in the United States, the hold is typically higher than for standard cars and can range from approximately US$300 to US$500 or more, depending on the rental brand, location, and season.

This is not a charge. It is a temporary reduction in your available credit that is released after you return the van and the rental contract closes. Your bank controls how quickly the hold disappears from your statement, and it can take up to 15 business days after return.

Important requirements for the Burlington van rental deposit:

  • 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 card numbers are not accepted
  • The card must be in the main driver's name
  • You 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. Setting a travel notice with your bank before arriving in Burlington is also recommended to prevent fraud blocks on the authorization.

What is the fuel policy for a van rental in Burlington?

Burlington van rentals use a Full-to-Full fuel policy. You receive the van with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.

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 both the odometer and the fuel gauge before leaving the lot.

At return, refuel within approximately 10 miles of the Burlington return location so the gauge does not drop below full before you arrive. Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address.

If you return the van below the recorded starting level, the partner may charge:

  • A fuel shortfall at the partner's refueling rate, which is typically higher than the pump price
  • An administrative refueling service fee

Gas prices in Burlington average around US$3.69 per gallon for regular fuel, which is slightly above the Vermont state average and has historically exceeded the National average. Budget a little extra for fuel costs compared to other U.S. destinations. Ask the counter agent for the nearest gas station to the return lot when you pick up your van in Burlington.

Does travel assistance cover a breakdown in my Burlington van rental?

Yes, most Burlington van rental bookings include travel assistance provided through Terrawind Global Protection, which covers scenarios such as a breakdown or accident during your rental period.

Core benefits typically included are:

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

If you experience a breakdown or accident while driving your Burlington van, contact the 24-hour assistance line first before incurring any expenses that require prior authorization:

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

Provide your full name, your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number, your current location, and a brief description of the situation. Follow the coordinator's instructions and keep all receipts and reports.

Important: this travel assistance benefit does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada. It also does not cover damage to the rental van itself (that is handled by CDW/LDW) or liability to third parties (covered by LIS/SLI). Check your booking confirmation for the exact terms applicable to your Burlington reservation.

Can I pick up a van at a Burlington city location instead of the airport?

Yes, you can pick up a rental van at off-airport locations in Burlington, though availability of van class vehicles at city branches may be more limited than at the airport.

One notable off-airport option is Enterprise at 1116 Shelburne Rd, South Burlington, VT 05403. Another nearby location is at 1891 Williston Rd, South Burlington, VT 05403. These city branches have shorter operating hours compared to the airport counters:

  • Enterprise Shelburne Rd: Monday to Friday 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Saturday 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, closed Sunday

If you are arriving at Burlington International Airport (BTV) and plan to pick up your van at a city location, you will need to arrange separate transport such as a taxi, rideshare, or shuttle service, as city branches do not have on-site airport access.

The airport location at 1200 Airport Dr offers longer hours, walk-up access from baggage claim, and after-hours key-drop return options, making it the more convenient choice for most travelers flying into Burlington. If your van rental needs flexibility around early morning or late-night flights, the airport counter is the safer option.

Can I add an additional driver to my Burlington van rental?

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Burlington van rental, either as an included benefit or for a daily fee paid at the counter, depending on your rate.

Check your booking confirmation for the line that reads Additional driver free of charge. If it appears, the first extra driver is covered at no cost. If it does not appear, the daily fees by partner are:

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

The additional driver must be present at the Burlington counter at pickup with their own valid driver's license. If their license is not in English or uses a non-Latin alphabet, they will also need an International Driving Permit. Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement before leaving with the van.

Only drivers listed on the agreement are covered by the van's protections such as CDW/LDW and liability coverage. Anyone who drives the Burlington van without being named on the contract may void those protections.

What insurance options should I consider for a van rental in Burlington?

When renting a van in Burlington, two main types of protection are worth reviewing before you arrive at the counter.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) reduces your financial liability if the van is damaged or stolen. A deductible may still apply unless your confirmation explicitly shows zero deductible. CDW/LDW does 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 Burlington van. Vermont does not have a universal state mandate requiring rental companies to include minimum liability coverage, so this protection is not automatically guaranteed. Adding supplemental liability coverage is strongly recommended.

Common exclusions to be aware of for your Burlington van rental:

  • Tires, wheels, undercarriage, and roof damage are often excluded from CDW/LDW
  • Driving under the influence or off permitted roads voids coverage
  • Only drivers named on the rental agreement are covered

Review your booking confirmation to confirm which protections are already included in your rate before accepting or declining anything at the Burlington counter.

Can I rent a van in Burlington and return it in a different city?

Yes, one-way van rentals from Burlington to another city are possible, though a drop-off fee may apply depending on the route, rental brand, and vehicle class.

The drop-off fee is route-specific and is set by the rental partner. It is not mileage, fuel, or a tax, though it is typically taxable locally. For van class vehicles, repositioning fees can be higher than for standard cars due to the cost of moving larger vehicles between locations.

How to check if a drop-off fee applies to your Burlington van rental:

  • During the booking process, select your different return location and review the details page for the rate you choose
  • Any drop-off fee will appear under the To pay at destination section of the checkout screen
  • Your booking confirmation will also list this fee if it applies

If no drop-off fee appears during booking, none should be charged at the Burlington counter. If the counter adds a fee that was not disclosed on your confirmation, keep all paperwork and contact support after the rental. No Extra Charges© Coverage may apply in that situation.

Cross-border one-way rentals, such as Burlington to Canada, may be restricted or require prior authorization from the rental partner. Confirm cross-border rules before booking.

How do I return my rental van at Burlington International Airport after hours?

Returning your rental van at Burlington International Airport after staffed counter hours is possible at the airport lot at 1200 Airport Dr, South Burlington, VT 05403.

Avis offers a 24-hour drop-off option, and Budget provides a key-drop box for after-hours returns. Enterprise's airport counter stays open until approximately 11:59 PM daily, which covers most late-arriving flights.

Steps for an after-hours van return in Burlington:

  • Refuel the van within approximately 10 miles of the airport before arriving, and keep your fuel receipt
  • Drive to the rental car area near the terminal at 1200 Airport Dr and follow signs to your brand's designated return lane
  • Note the odometer reading and fuel level, and take a photo of the dashboard
  • Place the keys in the key-drop envelope provided by your brand, note any pre-existing or new damage, and deposit the envelope in the drop box
  • Keep a copy of the rental agreement and your fuel receipt

Be aware that liability for the van may remain with you until a staff member formally checks it in the next morning. Review your rental agreement for the specific after-hours terms that apply to your Burlington van return.
