• 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. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your van booking in Maine 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 Maine 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)

In Maine, the minimum age to rent a van without additional surcharges is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 may rent smaller vehicle classes but will be subject to a daily young-renter surcharge at the counter.

For 12-passenger and 15-passenger vans in Maine specifically, renters must be 25 years of age or older. Rental partners will not allow under-25 drivers to take these larger van categories, regardless of surcharge payment.

Additionally, if a van in Maine is used to transport passengers for hire or profit, or is operated by a nonprofit organization, all drivers must hold a valid class B license with a passenger transport endorsement. Vans also cannot be used to transport non-family members in 12th grade or younger.

If you are 21 to 24 and planning a Maine trip, choose a compact or standard sedan class to avoid restrictions, and Budget for the young-renter daily fee at pick-up.

At Portland International Jetport (PWM) in Maine, rental van counters for brands such as Avis, Budget, Hertz, and Enterprise are located across the street from the baggage claim area at 1001 Westbrook Street, Portland, ME 04102.

After collecting your luggage, exit the terminal and cross to the rental area directly opposite baggage claim. Some partners at PWM offer 24-hour service at the Westbrook Street location, while others operate on set hours, so confirm your brand's counter hours on your booking confirmation before you arrive.

When returning your van in Maine at PWM, you can use the fastbreak return service: record the mileage and fuel level on your rental agreement, drop it in the return box, and your closed agreement will be mailed to you within 48 hours. No counter visit is required for return.

Always carry your booking confirmation and required documents, including your physical driver's license and a major credit card in the main driver's name, when heading to the van pick-up counter.

At Bangor International Airport (BGR) in Maine, rental van counters are located at 299 Godfrey Boulevard, Bangor, ME 04401, across from the terminal. Follow the airport loop signs for the rental car return and pick-up area as you drive through.

Brands available for van rentals at BGR include Avis, Enterprise, Budget, and Hertz. Counter hours vary by brand:

• Avis: Monday through Sunday, 8:00 AM to 12:00 AM, with 24-hour van drop-off available via a key drop box
• Enterprise: Monday through Sunday, 8:00 AM to 11:59 PM

For after-hours van returns in Maine at BGR, park and lock the vehicle, then place your keys and completed rental contract in the drop box at the counter.

Bring your physical driver's license, passport or government ID, and a major credit card in the main driver's name for the security deposit hold when you arrive at the van pick-up counter.

Maine uses the E-ZPass electronic toll system, operated by the Maine Turnpike Authority on the main toll highway running from Kittery to Augusta. Cash toll booths have largely been eliminated, so your rental van will need to use an electronic payment method.

When you rent a van in Maine, the vehicle comes equipped with an electronic toll device. At the counter you can choose between two options:

• Unlimited toll package: a fixed daily rate (typically US$11 to US$25 per day depending on the partner), covering all tolls during the rental period
• Pay-per-use: the rental company charges you the actual toll amount plus an administrative processing fee each time you drive through a toll lane

If you drive your van through an E-ZPass lane in Maine without enrolling in the rental company's toll program, the rental company will receive a notice and charge your credit card for the transaction plus fees. Toll charges often appear on your statement four to six weeks after the rental ends.

Partners such as Enterprise charge US$4.95 per day (maximum US$34.65 per rental period) plus actual tolls, with no service charge on days when no toll roads are used.

Yes, you can get cashback on tolls paid during your van rental in Maine through the Hola Car Rentals Tolls Cashback benefit, which is included on all bookings.

Hola Car Rentals reimburses the lesser of the total tolls you paid or up to 5% of your total booking value. For example, if your van rental booking totals US$600, the maximum cashback is US$30. If you paid US$18 in Maine Turnpike tolls, you receive US$18 back; if you paid US$50, you receive US$30 (the cap).

To claim your cashback after your Maine van rental, email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle. Include:

• Your Hola Car Rentals reservation confirmation
• A copy of the rental agreement signed at pick-up
• A receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid (toll provider invoice, final rental invoice with itemized toll line, or transponder statement)

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.

To pick up a rental van in Maine, you must present the following physical documents at 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, in the main driver's name, for the security deposit hold (debit and prepaid cards are not accepted)
• 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 licenses in English or using a Roman 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 any van rental counter in Maine.

If you are adding an additional driver to your Maine van rental, that person must also be present at pick-up with their own valid driver's license and ID.

When picking up a rental van in Maine, the rental partner will place a temporary authorization hold on your major credit card at the counter. This hold is not a charge but reduces your available credit until it is released after you return the van.

For standard vehicles in the United States, typical holds range from US$300 to US$400. For larger van categories, the hold may be higher depending on the rental brand, location, season, and vehicle class. Hola Car Rentals cannot determine the exact hold amount in advance, as final deposit rules are set by the rental company desk.

To prepare for your Maine van rental pick-up:

• Bring a physical major credit card with your name printed on it and sufficient available credit
• Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted for the deposit
• Notify your bank of your travel dates to prevent fraud blocks on the authorization
• Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined

After returning the van in Maine, the hold is released by the rental company, but your bank controls when it reappears in your available credit, which can take up to 15 business days.

Van rentals in Maine 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 pick-up, check the fuel gauge with the agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on your rental agreement. Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and fuel gauge before leaving the lot.

When returning your van in Maine, refuel within approximately 10 miles or 15 kilometers of the 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 with less than a full tank, the rental company may charge:

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

For after-hours van returns at Bangor International Airport (BGR) in Maine, leave your fuel receipt in the drop envelope with your keys and completed contract. At Portland International Jetport (PWM), record the fuel level on the rental agreement before placing it in the return box.

Yes, most van rental bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection, at no extra cost. However, this benefit does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada.

If you are visiting Maine from outside North America and renting a van, the included travel assistance typically covers:

• 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

This is especially relevant for van rentals in Maine given the state's rural stretches and remote areas along the coast and inland, where reaching medical facilities quickly may be challenging.

To use the assistance, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day, 7 days a week 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]

Always check your booking confirmation for the exact coverage terms and limits that apply to your Maine van rental.

Van rentals in Maine are subject to state sales tax in addition to any airport concession fees and other local surcharges. The applicable sales tax rate depends on who is renting the van:

• 10% sales tax applies when renting a light truck or van (under 26,000 pounds GVW) from an entity primarily engaged in automobile rental
• 5.5% sales tax applies when renting from other sources not primarily engaged in automobile rental

Airport locations such as Portland International Jetport (PWM) and Bangor International Airport (BGR) may also add airport concession recovery fees and customer facility charges on top of the base rental rate. These fees are typically listed in the booking details under the amount due at pick-up.

Your booking confirmation will show which taxes and fees are included in your prepaid rate and which are due at the counter. If your confirmation states that taxes and fees are included, you should not be billed separately for those items at the van rental counter in Maine.

Review the full breakdown in your confirmation before arriving at the counter to avoid surprises.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your van rental in Maine, either as part of your rate or for a fee paid at the counter.

Some booking rates include one additional driver at no extra cost. Check your booking confirmation for the line "Additional driver free of charge" to confirm whether this applies to your Maine van rental. If it is not included, daily fees vary by partner:

• 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

For 12-passenger and 15-passenger vans in Maine, all drivers must be at least 25 years old. For Avis, Budget, and Payless, additional drivers must generally be at least 25 at the time of pick-up.

The additional driver must be present at the van pick-up counter in Maine with their own valid driver's license and ID. Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement. Anyone who drives the van without being listed on the agreement will not be covered by the rental protections.

Yes, Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) coverage can protect you from financial liability for damage to your rental van in Maine, subject to the terms and deductible shown on your booking confirmation.

CDW/LDW typically covers:

• Collision damage to the rental van
• Theft or vandalism of the van
• Repairs or the vehicle's value up to the policy limits, minus any applicable deductible

CDW/LDW does not cover:

• Third-party liability, meaning injury or property damage you cause to others while driving the van in Maine (that requires separate LIS/SLI/ALI coverage)
• Damage from prohibited use such as off-road driving, DUI, or unauthorized drivers
• Tires, undercarriage, roof, or keys unless explicitly included
• Incidents not reported promptly to the rental partner

Before picking up your van in Maine, confirm on the rental agreement whether CDW/LDW is active and note the deductible amount. If an incident occurs, prioritize safety, contact local authorities if needed, and notify the rental partner immediately using the number on your confirmation. Collect photos, the time and location, and any police report number.

Yes, after-hours van returns are available at the main Maine airport locations, though the process differs by airport.

At Bangor International Airport (BGR) in Maine, after-hours van returns work as follows:

• Drive to the rental car return area located across from the terminal at 299 Godfrey Boulevard
• Park and lock the van
• Place your keys and completed rental contract in the drop box at the counter
• Avis offers 24-hour drop-off at this location

At Portland International Jetport (PWM) in Maine, you can use the fastbreak return service:

• Record the mileage and fuel level on your rental agreement
• Drop the agreement in the return box across the street from baggage claim
• Your closed agreement will be mailed to you within 48 hours
• No counter visit is required

For both locations, refuel your van before returning it to comply with the Full-to-Full fuel policy, and keep your fuel receipt. If you are unsure about the nearest fuel station to the return location, ask the counter agent at pick-up or check Google Maps before your return trip.
