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

No, Manitoba has no toll roads, toll bridges, or express toll lanes of any kind. When you rent a van in Manitoba, you will not encounter cashless gantries, transponder requirements, or congestion charges anywhere in the province.

This means you do not need to enroll in any toll program at the counter, and you will not face unexpected toll bills after your rental ends. Programs such as PlatePass or similar transponder services offered by rental brands are not relevant to van travel within Manitoba.

If your Manitoba van rental takes you into other Canadian provinces or across the border where tolls do apply, Hola Car Rentals includes Tolls Cashback on every booking, allowing you to recover up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during the rental period.

Manitoba van rentals typically include a range of passenger and minivan options depending on the brand and location you choose.

• The Dodge Grand Caravan is one of the most commonly available minivan models in Winnipeg
• Ford Transit and similar full-size passenger vans are offered by some brands
• 7-seat, 8-seat, and 9-seat configurations are available through select partners

Keep in mind that your booking confirms a vehicle category, not a specific model. The rental partner may substitute a comparable van of the same class if the exact model is unavailable on your pickup date. This is standard industry practice across all Manitoba locations.

Winnipeg Richardson International Airport offers the widest van selection in Manitoba, with multiple brands operating there. Smaller Manitoba cities such as Brandon, Steinbach, and Portage la Prairie have more limited van availability, so booking in advance is especially important outside Winnipeg.

To collect your van in Manitoba, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:

• 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, used for the security deposit hold
• A passport or valid government-issued photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets if you are visiting from outside Canada

If your driver's license is not in English or French, you will need an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your original license. This is particularly important in Manitoba, where rental desks require a license readable in English or French. If your license uses a non-Latin alphabet such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic, an IDP is mandatory, not optional.

All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted at any Manitoba van rental counter. Obtain your IDP in your home country before traveling, as it cannot be issued abroad.

Yes, Tolls Cashback is included on every van rental booked through Hola Car Rentals, including Manitoba bookings.

Because Manitoba itself has no toll roads, you will not pay any tolls driving within the province. However, if your Manitoba van rental takes you into neighboring provinces or regions where tolls exist, you can claim back up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during the rental period.

To claim your cashback after returning the van:

• Email [email protected] within 30 days of vehicle return
• Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback - Reservation [Your Confirmation Number]
• Attach your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation, the signed rental agreement, and a receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid

Refunds are issued to the same payment method used for your original Manitoba van reservation and typically process within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Submissions received after 30 days are not eligible.

Yes, a major credit card in the main driver's name with the driver's name physically printed on the card is required to rent a van in Manitoba. The rental partner will place a temporary security hold on the card at pickup.

In Canada, typical security holds for van rentals range from CAUS$ 300 to CAUS$ 500, though some Manitoba locations may authorize up to CAUS$ 750 depending on the vehicle class and rental company. This is a hold, not a charge, but it reduces your available credit until released after the van is returned.

• Debit cards are not accepted for the security deposit hold
• Prepaid or virtual cards are not accepted
• The card must be physically present at the counter with the driver's name printed on it
• Digital wallets such as Apple Pay or Google Pay are not accepted for the deposit

Even if you prepaid your Manitoba van booking online, you must still present a physical credit card at the counter. Bringing a backup credit card is strongly recommended in case your primary card is declined.

Yes, age restrictions and young driver surcharges apply to van rentals in Manitoba, and the rules vary by rental brand and van type.

• Drivers aged 18 to 20 may be charged a young driver surcharge of approximately CAUS$ 19.99 per day plus taxes at some Manitoba locations
• Drivers aged 21 to 24 may be charged approximately CAUS$ 14.99 per day plus taxes, or around CAUS$ 20 per day depending on the brand
• Some Manitoba rental brands do not permit drivers aged 21 to 24 to rent minivans or 12-passenger vans at all
• Additional drivers must also meet minimum age requirements and must be present at the counter with a valid license

These surcharges are typically not shown in your prepaid reservation total and are collected at the Manitoba van rental counter. Drivers under 30 may also face a higher security deposit hold at certain locations.

The minimum age to rent a van in Manitoba is generally 18, but availability of larger van categories for younger drivers is limited. Always confirm age rules with the specific brand at your Manitoba pickup location before booking.

Van rentals in Manitoba benefit from provincial insurance requirements that differ from many other destinations.

Under Manitoba law, every rental vehicle registered in the province carries Basic Autopac insurance, which covers permitted drivers listed on the rental agreement. This statutory third-party liability coverage is included by default when you rent a van in Manitoba through Hola Car Rentals. You can still purchase higher supplemental liability limits at the counter if you want additional protection.

For damage to the van itself, Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) reduces your financial liability if the vehicle is damaged or stolen. A deductible may apply unless your booking confirmation explicitly states zero deductible.

• CDW/LDW covers damage to the rental van from collisions, theft, and vandalism
• CDW/LDW does not cover damage you cause to other vehicles or people (that is third-party liability)
• Tires, undercarriage, and roof damage are commonly excluded unless a specific add-on is purchased
• Only drivers named on the Manitoba rental agreement are covered

Review your booking confirmation carefully to confirm which coverages are included in your Manitoba van rate before arriving at the counter.

Van rentals in Manitoba follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy. You receive the van with a full tank and must return it full to avoid fuel 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 Manitoba rental counter.

• Refuel within approximately 15 km 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 level, the rental partner will charge for the fuel shortfall at their own rate, which is typically higher than pump prices, plus a refueling service fee

Ask the agent at your Manitoba van pickup location to point you toward the nearest fuel station to the return point. You can also use a navigation app to find stations close to the drop-off address before your return trip.

If the van was not full at pickup, ensure the exact starting level is written on the agreement and return it at that same level to avoid charges.

Yes, most van rental bookings through Hola Car Rentals include travel assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection, which can be useful if you experience a medical emergency or other covered incident while driving through Manitoba's more remote areas.

Manitoba's highway network includes routes through sparsely populated regions such as the area around Riding Mountain and northern parts of the province. If you or a passenger experiences a medical emergency while driving the van in these areas, the travel assistance benefit provides:

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

To reach assistance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, call +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free) or contact 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 Canadian or US residents. It is available only to travelers from outside North America renting a van in Manitoba. It also does not cover damage to the rental van itself; that is handled by CDW/LDW.

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

Some Hola Car Rentals rates include one additional driver at no extra cost. Check your booking confirmation for the line that reads "Additional driver free of charge" or "Additional driver included." If it is not listed, the following daily fees apply at Manitoba rental counters:

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

The additional driver must be present at the Manitoba van rental counter at pickup with a valid driver's license and, if required, an International Driving Permit. Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement. Anyone who drives the van without being listed on the agreement is not covered by the rental protections.

For Avis, Budget, and Payless locations in Manitoba, additional drivers must be at least 25 years old.

Yes, one-way van rentals are possible in Manitoba, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on the route and the rental brand you choose.

When you search for a van rental in Manitoba with different pickup and return locations, the booking system will display any applicable drop-off fee under the "To pay at destination" section before you confirm. This fee is set by the rental partner and varies by route, distance, vehicle class, and season.

• Returning a van between locations within the same Manitoba city often carries no drop-off fee
• Returning a van from one Manitoba city to another, such as Winnipeg to Brandon, typically incurs a one-way fee
• Cross-border one-way rentals, for example returning a Manitoba van in a US state, may be restricted or carry significantly higher fees depending on the brand

The drop-off fee cannot be prepaid and is not covered by No Extra Charges© unless it was not disclosed during booking. If you need to change your return location after booking, contact support, as this may reprice the entire Manitoba van reservation.

Manitoba winters can significantly affect driving conditions, and van renters should be prepared before heading out on provincial highways.

Manitoba's primary highway network, including PTH and PR routes, is monitored in real time through the Manitoba 511 system, which reports surface conditions such as bare pavement, packed snow, or ice. Conditions on routes like Highway 10 near Riding Mountain and the Winnipeg ring road (Highway 100) are updated regularly and should be checked before any van trip.

• Travel is discouraged when visibility drops below 500 meters, when strong winds affect vehicle stability, or when road surfaces are too slippery to maintain control
• Standard passenger vans are suitable for normal Manitoba highway travel under typical winter conditions
• Winter seasonal weight restrictions apply to heavier commercial vehicles on certain routes but do not typically affect standard rental vans

Rental vans in Manitoba are required to meet safety and mechanical standards set by the rental company. If you are concerned about winter driving conditions during your Manitoba van rental, check the Manitoba 511 website or app before departing and allow extra travel time on rural routes.

If your flight to Manitoba is delayed, your van rental reservation will generally be held for up to 24 hours from the original scheduled pickup time, provided the delay does not push your arrival outside the rental counter's operating hours.

Counter hours at Manitoba locations, including Winnipeg Richardson International Airport, vary by brand and can change on holidays. It is important to confirm that you will arrive while the counter is still open, even if your flight lands within the 24-hour hold window.

• If your delay is less than 24 hours, the rental partner will typically hold your van reservation
• If your delay exceeds 24 hours, contact Hola Car Rentals support via WhatsApp at +1 (786) 999-8312 or by email at [email protected] as soon as possible
• Some Manitoba locations offer a grace period of 1 to 4 hours for non-prepaid bookings before treating the reservation as a no-show

For prepaid van reservations in Manitoba, a no-show after the hold window may result in the full reservation being forfeited with no refund. If you know your flight will be significantly delayed, contact support before your original pickup time to explore your options.
