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

After landing at Kansas City International Airport, picking up your van is a straightforward process.

• Exit baggage claim and walk to the Rent-A-Car Shuttle Bus stop at the center median outside the terminal.
• Board the grey and black Rental Car Shuttle Bus, which runs approximately every 20 to 30 minutes and is free of charge.
• The shuttle ride takes 5 to 8 minutes to reach the consolidated rental car facility at 648 Madrid Ave, Kansas City, MO 64153.
• At the facility, take the escalator or elevator up one floor to your rental company's counter to collect your rental agreement and van keys.
• The walking distance from the counter to the vehicle lot is roughly 50 to 400 feet.

From landing to driving your van away, expect approximately 25 to 40 minutes under normal conditions. The airport facility is open 5:00 AM to 11:59 PM every day, with 24-hour drop-off available. All major partner brands including Avis, Hertz, Alamo, Enterprise, Budget, Dollar, and National operate from this shared facility.

Missouri has only one toll facility relevant to Kansas City van rentals: the Lake of the Ozarks Community Bridge on State Highway MM.

• This bridge is cash-only. No electronic transponders, E-ZPass, or cashless payment options are accepted.
• Tolls for a standard 2-axle van are US$3.00 during summer months (May through September) and US$2.00 at other times of the year.
• Larger vans or utility vehicles with more axles are charged higher rates, up to US$9.50.

Because this is a cash-only toll, the electronic toll programs offered by rental companies at the Kansas City counter (such as e-Toll or TollPass, typically priced at US$11 to US$25 per day) are not useful for this bridge and will not trigger automatically. You simply need to have cash on hand if your route takes you over the bridge.

Kansas City and Missouri have no congestion charges, emissions zones, or city-center driving fees. For most van trips within the Kansas City metro area, you will not encounter any tolls at all.

To collect your van rental in Kansas City, you must present the following physical documents at the counter. Digital copies are not accepted.

• 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, for the security deposit hold. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted.
• A passport or valid government-issued photo ID.
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher.
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets (required for visitors from outside the United States).

If your driver's license is not in English and does not use a Latin (Roman) alphabet, for example 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.

Foreign licenses are generally accepted for van rentals in Kansas City, provided they can be verified as valid. Obtain your IDP in your home country before traveling, as it cannot be issued abroad.

Yes, all van rental bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include the Tolls Cashback benefit, which lets you recover up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your rental in Kansas City or on any route you drive.

While Kansas City itself has very few toll roads, if your van trip takes you to areas with tolls, such as the Lake of the Ozarks Community Bridge (a cash-only toll in Missouri), or if you drive into neighboring states with toll roads, you can submit those receipts for reimbursement.

• The refund is the lesser of the total tolls you paid or 5% of your Hola Car Rentals booking total.
• Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning your van.
• Include your Hola Car Rentals reservation confirmation, a copy of the rental agreement, and a receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid.

Refunds are issued to the original payment method used for your booking and typically process within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Late submissions received after 30 days are not accepted.

The minimum age to rent a van in Kansas City without a young-renter surcharge is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 may still rent in Kansas City, but a daily underage fee applies and most van and large vehicle categories are restricted to renters aged 25 and older.

This is an important point for van rentals specifically. Vans, minivans, and similar large vehicle classes are among the categories that rental partners typically restrict to drivers 25 and above. If you are under 25 and need a van in Kansas City, confirm availability and surcharge amounts directly with the rental partner at the counter.

• Avis and Budget: 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.

A valid driver's license and a major credit card in the main driver's name are required regardless of age. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit hold in Kansas City.

When you pick up your van in Kansas City, the rental partner will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card. For van rentals in the United States, this hold is typically in the range of US$300 to US$400 for standard vehicles, though the amount can be higher for larger or premium van classes.

This hold is not a charge. It temporarily reduces your available credit and is released after you return the van, provided all rental terms are met. Your bank controls how quickly the hold disappears from your statement, which can take up to 15 business days.

• You must present a physical major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card. Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted for the deposit.
• Make sure your card has 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.
• Notify your bank of your travel plans to prevent fraud blocks on in-person authorizations in Kansas City.

The exact hold amount is set by the rental company desk and may vary by partner, van class, and season.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your van rental in Kansas City at the counter during pickup. The additional driver must be present in person, show a valid driver's license, and sign the rental agreement. Anyone who drives the van without being listed on the agreement is not covered by the rental protections.

Whether the additional driver is included at no cost or subject to a daily fee depends on your rate. Check your booking confirmation for the line that reads additional driver free of charge. If it is not included, the following daily fees apply in Kansas City:

• 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.

For Avis, Budget, and Payless, additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old at pickup. If the additional driver holds a license not in English or not using a Latin alphabet, they should also bring an International Driving Permit to the Kansas City counter.

When renting a van at Kansas City International Airport (MCI), the base rate shown during booking is typically increased by a combination of local taxes and airport-specific fees. In total, these additions can represent 20 to 30% above the base van rental rate.

• Customer Facility Charge (CFC): approximately US$4.50 to US$5.00 per rental day, charged by the airport for use of the consolidated rental car facility.
• Concession Recovery Fee (ACRF): typically 8 to 10% of the base rate, representing the fee rental companies pay to operate at MCI.
• Missouri and Kansas City vehicle license and road taxes: combined approximately 7 to 9%.

If your booking confirmation shows taxes and fees as included, you should not be billed separately for those items at the Kansas City counter. If you are charged for something not listed on your confirmation, the No Extra Charges© guarantee may apply.

One way to reduce these fees is to pick up your van at an off-airport location in Kansas City, such as a downtown branch. Off-airport locations typically do not charge the concession recovery fee or CFC, making them 10 to 20% cheaper than MCI for the same van class.

Most van rental bookings through Hola Car Rentals include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection. This benefit is designed for situations such as a medical emergency on a Kansas City highway, an accident requiring legal support, or a flight cancellation before or after your van rental period.

• Travel and medical coverage for up to 5 passengers.
• Legal assistance in the event of an accident during your van rental.
• Compensation for luggage lost by the airline.
• Flight cancellation insurance.

To use this coverage, call the 24-hour assistance line at +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free) or contact via WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call.

Important: this travel assistance benefit does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada. It is available to international visitors renting a van in Kansas City who are traveling from outside North America. It also does not cover damage to the van itself (that is handled by CDW/LDW) or third-party liability (covered by LIS/ALI/SLI).

Van rentals in Kansas City follow 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 the odometer and fuel gauge before leaving the Kansas City counter.
• Refuel within approximately 10 miles 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.

If you return the van below the recorded starting level, the rental partner may charge you for the fuel shortfall at their own refueling rate, which is typically higher than the pump price, plus a service fee.

Kansas City benefits from below-average fuel prices compared to the National average, with regular gasoline on the Kansas side averaging around US$3.28 per gallon versus the National average of approximately US$3.84. This makes refueling your van before return more affordable than in many other U.S. cities. Ask the agent at the Kansas City counter for the nearest gas station to the return location.

Yes, one-way van rentals from Kansas City to a different city are generally available, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on the route, the rental partner, and the van class selected.

The drop-off fee is route-specific and is set by the rental partner. It is not included in the base van rental rate and cannot be prepaid. You will see this fee listed under the to pay at destination section during the booking process on the Hola Car Rentals website if it applies to your Kansas City route.

• Same-city returns (for example, picking up at Kansas City International Airport and returning to a downtown Kansas City location) often carry no drop-off fee.
• Returns to another city in the same region or state typically incur a drop-off fee that varies by distance and van class.
• Long-distance or cross-country one-way van rentals from Kansas City usually carry higher fees and may be restricted for certain vehicle categories.

Cross-border one-way rentals, such as returning a van rented in Kansas City to a location in Canada, are often restricted or require prior approval from the rental partner. Always confirm cross-border rules on your rental agreement before driving across state or National borders.

For a van rental in Kansas City, there are two main types of coverage to consider: protection for the van itself and protection for third parties.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) reduces your financial liability if the van is damaged or stolen. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation explicitly shows 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 van in Kansas City. Some U.S. states require rental companies to include a state-minimum liability, but not all do. Hola Car Rentals strongly recommends adding Liability Insurance Supplementary coverage of up to US$300,000 to your van rental.

• CDW/LDW covers the rental van itself, subject to exclusions such as tires, undercarriage, and unauthorized use.
• LIS/ALI/SLI covers third parties injured or whose property is damaged.
• Neither covers your personal injuries (that requires PAI) or your belongings (that requires PEC).

Only drivers listed on the rental agreement in Kansas City are covered. Make sure all drivers are added at the counter before leaving with the van.

Van rental counter hours in Kansas City vary depending on whether you pick up at the airport or at a downtown location.

• Kansas City International Airport (MCI): the consolidated rental car facility at 648 Madrid Ave is open 5:00 AM to 11:59 PM every day, with 24-hour drop-off available for your van.
• Downtown Kansas City locations (for example, Avis at 3412 Main St or 1515 Wyandotte St at the Loews Kansas City Hotel): typically open 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM Saturday, and 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM Sunday.

Downtown van rental locations in Kansas City have significantly more limited hours than the airport facility, so plan your pickup and return times carefully. If you need to pick up or return your van outside those windows, the airport location is the more flexible option.

If your flight is delayed by less than 24 hours, rental partners at Kansas City will hold your van reservation. For delays beyond 24 hours, contact support as soon as possible, as changes are not guaranteed. Always confirm the exact hours on your booking confirmation, as hours may change on public holidays.
