No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your booking in Gulfport 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. This is a pricing guarantee (not insurance) that protects you if the counter in Gulfport 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 hire 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)

The Alamo counter at Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport (GPT) is located inside the main terminal on the main level, near baggage claim. After collecting your luggage, turn right and follow the overhead rental car signs to reach the Alamo desk. The walk from baggage claim is short and entirely indoors, so no shuttle or external transfer is needed.

Once you complete check-in at the Alamo counter, your vehicle will be staged in the adjacent parking garage. The address for the Alamo location in Gulfport is 14035 Airport Rd, Gulfport, MS 39503.

Yes, Alamo offers both after-hours pickup and after-hours return at its Gulfport location.

For after-hours pickup, the process may require additional steps that will be outlined in your booking confirmation email, so review it carefully before arriving at Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport outside regular counter hours.

For after-hours return, the process at the Gulfport Alamo location is straightforward:

• Park your vehicle in the Alamo-designated spaces
• Drop the keys in the drop box at the rental counter
• Depart without waiting for an agent

Keep in mind that when returning after hours, you remain responsible for the vehicle until Alamo formally checks it in. Take photos of the car's condition and fuel gauge before leaving, and retain any fuel receipts as documentation.

Yes, Alamo offers Accelerated Check-in for its Gulfport location at Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport.

To use it, activate the option online before your arrival by providing your driver's licence information and contact details. This is designed to reduce the time you spend at the Alamo counter in Gulfport, so you can get on the road faster after landing.

Note that the full kiosk check-in option and the Skip the Counter option (which would let you go directly to your car) are listed as unavailable at this specific Gulfport location. Accelerated Check-in is the best self-service option available here, but you will still need to stop briefly at the Alamo counter to finalise your agreement and collect your keys.

No, Mississippi has no toll roads, so you will not encounter any toll charges while driving your Alamo rental in and around Gulfport.

There are no cashless toll systems, transponder requirements, or toll-related administrative fees that apply to driving in the Gulfport area. Systems such as E-ZPass or SunPass do not operate in Mississippi.

If your trip takes you into neighbouring states that do have toll roads, Hola Car Rentals includes Tolls Cashback on all bookings. You can claim up to 5% of your total booking value back for any tolls paid during your rental period. To claim, email [email protected] within 30 days of returning your Alamo vehicle, attaching your rental agreement and toll receipts.

To pick up your Alamo rental in Gulfport, you must present the following documents at the counter:

• A valid, unexpired driver's licence with a photograph (physical original only; digital licences are not accepted)
• A major credit card in the main driver's name, with the driver's name printed on the card, for the security deposit hold
• A passport or valid government-issued photo ID
• Your booking confirmation

If your driver's licence 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 required alongside your original licence. The IDP is a translation only and cannot be used without the original licence.

All documents must be physical. The Alamo counter in Gulfport will not accept digital versions of any required document.

Yes, a major credit card in the main driver's name is required to pick up your Alamo hire in Gulfport.

The card must be a physical card with the driver's name printed on it. It is used to place a temporary authorisation hold, typically around GBP 300 to GBP 400 for standard vehicles at U.S. airport locations like Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport. This hold reduces your available credit until it is released after you return the vehicle.

Regarding debit cards, Alamo at airport locations such as Gulfport may only accept a debit card if it is accompanied by a ticketed return travel itinerary, and the name and address on the driver's licence must match the current home address on the card. To avoid complications at the Gulfport Alamo counter, a major credit card is strongly recommended.

Prepaid cards and virtual cards are not accepted for the security deposit under any circumstances.

Yes, Alamo charges a young driver surcharge in Gulfport for renters between the ages of 21 and 24.

The underage surcharge at the Gulfport Alamo location is GBP 20 per day. This fee is paid at the counter and is in addition to your prepaid hire rate.

Drivers in this age group are also restricted to specific vehicle classes. At the Gulfport Alamo location, young drivers aged 21 to 24 may hire Economy through Full Size cars, Cargo and Minivans, Pickup trucks, and Compact, Small, and Standard SUVs with seating for up to 5 passengers. Premium, luxury, and larger vehicle categories are not available to drivers under 25.

The minimum age to hire from Alamo in Gulfport is 21. Drivers under 21 are not permitted to hire.

Alamo uses a Full-to-Full fuel policy for hires in Gulfport, meaning you receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.

Here are the key steps to follow:

• At pickup, confirm the fuel level with the Alamo agent in Gulfport and ensure the starting level is recorded on your hire agreement
• Take a photo of the dashboard showing the fuel gauge and odometer
• Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport return location before dropping off the car
• Keep your final fuel receipt as proof

Fuel prices in the Gulfport area tend to be below the Mississippi state average, with stations along Highway 49 offering competitive rates, making it cost-effective to refuel before returning your Alamo vehicle.

If you return the car with less than a full tank, Alamo may charge you for the fuel shortfall at their refuelling rate, which is typically higher than pump prices, plus a service fee.

Most Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Alamo hires in Gulfport, include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection. This benefit is particularly useful if you experience an unexpected situation while driving in the Gulfport area, such as a medical emergency or a vehicle breakdown on U.S. 49 or other local roads.

Coverage typically includes:

• 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

To reach assistance 24 hours a day, 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 customers who are residents of the United States or Canada. It is designed for international visitors hiring an Alamo vehicle in Gulfport who are travelling from outside North America.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Alamo hire in Gulfport, but the additional driver must be present at the counter at the time of pickup with a valid driver's licence.

When the additional driver fee is not included in your rate, Alamo charges GBP 12 per day for each extra driver added at the Gulfport counter. Check your booking confirmation to see whether an additional driver is already included in your rate.

Key requirements for adding a driver at the Gulfport Alamo location:

• The additional driver must appear in person at the counter
• They must present a valid, unexpired driver's licence
• They must meet the minimum age requirement of 21 years old
• Drivers aged 21 to 24 may be subject to the GBP 20 per day young driver surcharge
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the hire agreement

Only drivers listed on the Alamo hire agreement are covered by the vehicle's protections. Anyone not named on the contract who drives the car may void your cover.

Yes, there are a few road conditions in Gulfport that can catch drivers off guard, especially if you are not familiar with the area.

The most notable is ongoing construction on U.S. 49, the main north-south highway running through Gulfport. This project, expected to continue into 2026, is widening the road and introducing Mississippi's first continuous flow intersection (CFI) at State Route 53. This intersection routes left turns onto a parallel roadway rather than using a standard left-turn lane, which can be confusing if you are not expecting it.

Additional things to be aware of when driving your Alamo hire in Gulfport:

• Night-time lane closures on U.S. 49 are common due to construction, unlike the daytime work typical elsewhere
• School-related congestion near Harrison Central High School can create significant backups at U.S. 49 intersections during school hours
• Some intersections lack dedicated left-turn lanes, increasing the risk of confusion at busier crossings
• U.S. 49 also serves as a hurricane evacuation route, so during storm warnings, expect heavy southbound traffic

Fuel prices near the Gulfport Alamo return location along Highway 49 tend to be below the state average, making it easy and affordable to refuel before dropping off your vehicle.

Yes, it is possible to pick up your Alamo hire in Gulfport and return it to a different location, but a one-way drop-off fee may apply depending on your chosen return city.

The drop-off fee is route-specific and varies based on the distance between Gulfport and your return location, the vehicle class you select, and the dates of your hire. This fee is not included in your prepaid rate and must be paid at the counter.

When booking a one-way hire from Gulfport through Hola Car Rentals, the drop-off fee will be displayed on the rate details page under the section labelled as charges due at destination. Review this carefully before confirming your reservation.

A few important points to keep in mind:

• Cross-border one-way hires (for example, returning the Alamo vehicle outside the United Kingdom) may be restricted or carry significantly higher fees
• Changing your return location after booking may reprice the hire and recalculate the drop-off fee
• If the counter charges a different fee than what appeared on your Hola Car Rentals confirmation, keep all paperwork and contact support

When picking up your Alamo hire in Gulfport, it is worth understanding the two main types of protection available so you can make an informed decision at the counter.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) covers damage to the Alamo rental vehicle itself from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your booking confirmation explicitly states 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 your Alamo hire in Gulfport. Not all UK states require hire companies to include minimum liability coverage, so it is worth confirming what is included in your rate and whether you need supplementary liability.

Common exclusions to be aware of:

• Tires, wheels, and undercarriage damage are often not covered by standard CDW
• Driving in restricted areas or by an unlisted driver can void cover
• Personal injuries to you or your passengers require separate Personal Accident Insurance (PAI)

Check your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation for your Gulfport Alamo hire to see exactly which protections are included in your rate before arriving at the counter.
