No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your van booking in Fort Lauderdale 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 Fort Lauderdale 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)

All van rental counters at Fort Lauderdale Airport (FLL) are located in the Rental Car Center (RCC), which is adjacent to Terminal 1.

• From Terminal 1: after collecting your bags, go to Level 2 and cross the Concourse B pedestrian bridge directly into the RCC. Walk time is approximately 5 minutes.
• From Terminals 2, 3, or 4: go to the lower level curb and board the free RCC shuttle. Shuttles run 24/7, typically every 10 minutes, and the total door-to-counter time is around 10 to 15 minutes.

Once inside the RCC, find your van rental brand counter (Avis, Hertz, Alamo, Enterprise, Budget, Dollar, National, Payless, or Thrifty) and present your booking confirmation, driver's license, and a physical major credit card in the main driver's name for the security deposit.

Yes, toll roads are common around Fort Lauderdale and throughout South Florida, and nearly all of them are cashless.

Your van rental will already include an electronic toll device or a plate-based billing system. At the counter you have two options:

• Unlimited toll package: a fixed daily rate of approximately US$11 to US$15 per day in Florida, covering all toll usage during your van rental period.
• Pay per use: the rental company charges the actual toll amount plus daily or administrative processing fees billed to your credit card after the rental ends.

Florida's toll system uses SunPass and E-PASS transponders, with Toll-by-Plate (license plate photo billing) as the fallback on cashless gantries. If you opt out of the rental program and use your own visitor toll pass, inform the Fort Lauderdale counter agent so they can deactivate the vehicle's default device and prevent duplicate charges.

Note that some toll charges may appear on your card days or even weeks after you return the van, as toll agencies process invoices in batches.

To pick up a van rental in Fort Lauderdale you must bring the following physical documents:

• Original, unexpired driver's license in the main driver's name.
• A physical major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card, for the security deposit hold.
• Passport or valid government photo ID.
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher.
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets (required for visitors traveling from abroad).

If your driver's license uses a non-Latin alphabet (Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Cyrillic, etc.), an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory alongside your original license. For licenses in other non-English scripts, an IDP is strongly recommended. The IDP is a translation only and cannot be used without the original license.

All documents must be physical. Digital copies shown on a phone are not accepted at the Fort Lauderdale van rental counter. Name mismatches between your license, passport, and credit card are one of the most common causes of pick-up problems, so verify everything matches before you travel.

Yes, all van rental bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include Tolls Cashback, which reimburses up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your rental in Fort Lauderdale or anywhere else in Florida.

How it works:

• You still pay tolls normally through the rental company's toll program or directly at the toll agency.
• After returning your van, email [email protected] within 30 days with your Hola Car Rentals reservation confirmation, the signed rental agreement, and a toll invoice or statement showing the charges paid.
• Refunds are issued to the original payment method and typically process within 7 to 10 business days after approval.

Example: if your Fort Lauderdale van rental booking totals US$600, the maximum cashback is US$30. If you paid US$18 in tolls, you receive US$18 back. If you paid US$50, you receive US$30 (the cap). Claims submitted after 30 days are not accepted.

When you pick up your van rental in Fort Lauderdale, the rental company will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card. For standard vehicles in the United States, typical holds range from US$300 to US$400, but a van or larger vehicle class may carry a higher hold amount.

Important things to know about the deposit:

• The hold is not a charge. It temporarily reduces your available credit and is released after you return the van, though your bank may take up to 15 business days to reflect the release.
• Only a physical major credit card in the main driver's name with the driver's name printed on the card is accepted. Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted for the deposit.
• Bring a backup credit card in case your primary card is declined.
• Notify your bank of your travel to Fort Lauderdale to prevent fraud blocks on the in-person authorization.

The exact hold amount is set by the rental company desk at the Fort Lauderdale location and cannot be confirmed in advance by Hola Car Rentals.

The minimum age to rent a van in Fort Lauderdale without a young-renter surcharge is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 may be able to rent but will be subject to a daily young-renter surcharge, and van and minivan vehicle classes are typically restricted to drivers aged 25 and older.

Key points for younger drivers:

• Most rental partners in Fort Lauderdale restrict vans, minivans, full-size SUVs, and premium categories to drivers 25 and above.
• Drivers aged 21 to 24 are generally limited to economy, compact, intermediate, and compact SUV classes.
• Florida is not New York or Michigan, so the standard 25-minimum policy applies at most Fort Lauderdale locations.
• If you are from Latin America or the Caribbean and aged 21 to 24, certain Avis and Budget rates may waive the underage fee for eligible vehicle categories, but vans are not among the eligible classes for that exception.

Always confirm age restrictions for the specific van class you want to book before completing your reservation.

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

When a fee applies, typical rates at Fort Lauderdale are:

• Avis, Budget, Payless: US$13 per rental day plus taxes, capped at US$65 plus taxes.
• Hertz, Thrifty, Dollar: US$13.50 per rental day plus taxes, capped at US$189 plus taxes.
• Alamo, National, Enterprise: US$15 per day plus taxes, no stated cap.

Requirements for adding a driver to your Fort Lauderdale van rental:

• The additional driver must be present at the counter at pick-up with a valid driver's license (and IDP if required).
• They must meet the minimum age requirement. For Avis, Budget, and Payless, additional drivers must be at least 25 years old.
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement.

Only drivers listed on the agreement are covered by protections such as CDW/LDW. Never let an unlisted person drive the van.

Van rentals in Fort Lauderdale follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy by default. You receive the van with a full tank and must return it full to avoid charges.

Steps to follow:

• 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.
• During your rental, use the correct fuel type. Wrong-fuel incidents are not covered and may generate additional charges.
• Before returning the van in Fort Lauderdale, refuel within approximately 10 miles of the return location so the gauge does not drop below full on the way back.
• Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address.

If you return the van below the recorded starting level, the rental company may charge a fuel shortfall at their own refueling rate (typically higher than pump price) plus a refueling service fee. Some counter locations may offer a prepaid fuel option; if you accept it, any unused fuel is generally non-refundable.

Most van rental bookings through Hola Car Rentals include travel assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection, which can help if you experience an emergency during your rental in Fort Lauderdale or elsewhere in Florida.

Core benefits typically included:

• Medical coverage for up to 5 passengers for accidents and non-pre-existing illnesses.
• Legal assistance in case of an accident.
• Compensation for luggage lost by the airline.
• Flight cancellation insurance.

This coverage does not include damage to the van itself (that is handled by CDW/LDW) or third-party liability (handled by LIS/ALI/SLI). It also does not replace roadside assistance provided by the rental partner.

To reach assistance 24/7, call +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free) or contact WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001, providing your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number and your location in Fort Lauderdale.

Important: this benefit applies only to non-North American customers. Residents of the United States and Canada do not qualify for travel assistance on their Fort Lauderdale van rental booking.

Whether CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) or LDW (Loss Damage Waiver) is included in your Fort Lauderdale van rental depends on the rate plan you select at booking.

What CDW/LDW covers for your van:

• Damage to the rental van from a collision or covered incident, including theft and vandalism.
• Repairs or the van's value up to policy limits, minus any applicable deductible or excess.

What it does not cover:

• Third-party liability (injuries or property damage to others), you need LIS/ALI/SLI for that.
• Prohibited use such as DUI, off-road driving, or driving by an unlisted driver.
• Items often excluded by default: tires, undercarriage, roof, keys, and loss-of-use fees.

At the Fort Lauderdale counter, confirm CDW/LDW is listed on your rental agreement before signing. If a deductible applies, note the amount. All drivers must be named on the agreement for coverage to apply. Check your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation to see which rate plan and protections are included for your specific van rental.

Yes, one-way van rentals from Fort Lauderdale to a different city are possible, but a drop-off fee typically applies and the amount varies by route, rental company, and vehicle class.

How to check the fee before booking:

• Select your different return location during the search. The drop-off fee, if any, will appear on the rate details page under the "To pay at destination" section.
• The fee is not prepaid and is not covered by No Extra Charges© Coverage unless it was not disclosed during booking.

Common patterns for Fort Lauderdale van rentals:

• Fort Lauderdale to Miami (MIA): short distance, often no drop-off fee.
• Fort Lauderdale to Orlando or Tampa: a drop-off fee usually applies.
• Cross-border one-ways (e.g., to another country): often restricted or subject to higher fees depending on the partner.

Changing your return location after booking may reprice the entire van rental and recalculate the drop-off fee. Always confirm the fee on your booking confirmation before pick-up in Fort Lauderdale.

If you decline the unlimited toll package at the Fort Lauderdale counter, your van rental will still be equipped with an electronic toll device or plate-based billing system. Every time you drive through a cashless toll gantry in Florida, the toll is captured automatically.

What happens next:

• The toll agency bills the rental company as the registered vehicle owner.
• The rental company passes the toll amount to you, plus daily or administrative processing fees that vary by brand. For example, Hertz charges US$9.99 per day on days tolls are incurred if you declined the program but still used toll roads.
• Charges may appear on your credit card days or weeks after you return the van in Fort Lauderdale, because toll agencies process invoices in batches.

To avoid unexpected charges on your Fort Lauderdale van rental, you can opt out of the rental program entirely and use your own Florida visitor toll pass. If you do, inform the counter agent so they deactivate the vehicle's default device and prevent duplicate billing.

All Hola Car Rentals van rental rates include Tolls Cashback, reimbursing up to 5% of your booking total for tolls paid. Submit your claim within 30 days of returning the van.

If you return your van rental in Fort Lauderdale after the agreed drop-off time, the rental company may charge for the extra time and, in some cases, a late fee.

Key points to know:

• Most rental companies allow a grace period of approximately 30 minutes after the scheduled return time, but this is not guaranteed at every Fort Lauderdale location.
• Beyond the grace period, charges for extra hours or an additional full day may apply, depending on the partner's policy.
• If you know you need more time, contact the rental company directly to extend the van rental before the scheduled return. Extensions are subject to availability and may reprice the rental.

For after-hours returns at the Fort Lauderdale Rental Car Center, follow the key-drop instructions provided by your rental brand and keep a photo of the van's condition and fuel gauge at drop-off. Note that liability for the van may continue until the company formally checks it in.

Always confirm the exact return time on your rental agreement when you pick up the van in Fort Lauderdale to avoid any misunderstanding about grace periods or overtime charges.
