"Como coreano, usei o aplicativo para alugar um carro na Califórnia. O funcionário da Dollar Rent-a-Car na filial de São Francisco foi grosseiro e insistiu que eu comprasse um seguro adicional (US$ 25 por dia) porque o seguro que eu havia comprado pelo aplicativo Hola era insuficiente. No entanto, a Hola insistiu que a apólice de cobertura total era válida e me ajudou a cancelar o seguro adicional que eu havia comprado na Dollar Rent-a-Car. Estou satisfeito com o atendimento ao cliente da Hola, mas acho que a prática do funcionário da Dollar Rent-a-Car de vender seguros adicionais precisa ser revista."

Perguntas Frequentes

O que inclui minha reserva da Hola Car Rentals em Vermont que outras empresas não oferecem?

A Hola Car Rentals é a única parceira premium das principais marcas de aluguel de carros que operam em Vermont, oferecendo a você acesso exclusivo à nossa tarifa All Inclusive+. Essa tarifa inclui benefícios que nenhuma outra empresa pode igualar:

  • Proteção de responsabilidade civil gratuita a partir de US$ 300.000 em caso de acidente (válida apenas para certas tarifas e itinerários)
  • Reembolso de pedágios: recupere até 5% do valor total da reserva pelos pedágios incorridos durante o seu período de aluguel
  • Assistência médica de viagem premium com cobertura de até US$ 150.000 para no máximo 5 passageiros em caso de emergência médica, excluindo condições pré-existentes
  • Garantia No Extra Charges©: se o balcão cobrar algo que não consta na sua confirmação e que não é um adicional opcional aceito por você, a Hola Car Rentals trabalhará para remover ou reembolsar a cobrança após verificação

Tudo isso sem custo adicional, garantindo uma experiência de aluguel completamente protegida e tranquilidade durante toda a sua viagem em Vermont.

Terei cobranças inesperadas no balcão ao alugar um carro em Vermont pela Hola Car Rentals?

Não. Com a Hola Car Rentals, todos os custos e cobranças da sua reserva em Vermont são apresentados claramente no momento da reserva e no e-mail de confirmação, para que você saiba exatamente o que está pagando antes de chegar ao balcão.

Além disso, cada reserva da Hola Car Rentals inclui a garantia No Extra Charges©. Esta é uma garantia de preços (não uma proteção) que protege você caso o balcão em Vermont cobre por algo que não estava listado na sua confirmação e que não era um adicional opcional que você aceitou. Se isso acontecer, a Hola Car Rentals trabalhará com o parceiro de aluguel para remover ou reembolsar a cobrança após verificação.

Os únicos custos fora desta garantia são:

  • Adicionais opcionais escolhidos no balcão (GPS, cadeirinhas para crianças, combustível pré-pago)
  • Cobranças por uso (pedágios, diferença de combustível, multas de trânsito)
Where do I pick up my rental car at Burlington International Airport in Vermont?

At Burlington International Airport (BTV), Vermont's main rental hub, the pickup process is straightforward. Rental car counters for major brands including Alamo, Avis, Budget, and Enterprise are located inside the terminal on the main floor, directly adjacent to baggage claim.

After collecting your luggage, walk to the counter or kiosk for your brand to complete check-in. Vehicles are parked a short walk away via a covered skywalk connecting to an on-site parking garage, so no shuttle or bus is needed.

Some brands offer accelerated or skip-the-counter options. With Alamo, for example, you can print your rental agreement online and proceed directly to the exit booth without stopping at the counter. Check your booking confirmation to see if your brand offers this at Vermont's Burlington airport.

Counter hours vary by brand: Avis and Budget typically operate 7:00 AM to 12:15 AM, while Enterprise runs 8:00 AM to 11:59 PM. Arrivals outside those windows are considered after-hours. After-hours key drop is available across providers, with returns processed the next business day.

Are there toll roads in Vermont I need to worry about with a rental car?

No, Vermont has no interstate toll roads or highway toll systems. Unlike neighboring New York or Massachusetts, Vermont is essentially toll-free for everyday driving.

The only toll facilities in Vermont are three short, seasonal mountain toll roads that lead to scenic summits. These are not part of any electronic toll network such as E-ZPass or similar systems used elsewhere in the US. Payment is made directly at the gate:

  • Mt. Equinox Skyline Drive (off VT Route 7A, Manchester): US$20 per car plus US$5 per additional passenger, paid in cash at the booth
  • Burke Mountain toll road (off Mountain Road): US$5 per vehicle or US$15 for an all-day pass, paid in cash
  • Mt. Mansfield toll road (off Highway 108, Stowe): US$26 per car plus US$9.50 per additional passenger, paid by credit card only

Because these Vermont toll roads use manual payment at the gate, the transponder programs offered by rental companies (such as PlatePass or e-toll) do not apply here. There are no cameras, plate-based billing, or violation invoices on these roads. If you cannot pay at the gate, access is simply denied.

Vermont also has no congestion charges or emissions zones of any kind.

What documents do I need to pick up a rental car in Vermont?

To pick up a rental car in Vermont, 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 physical card, used for the security deposit hold
  • A passport or valid government-issued photo ID (required for international visitors)
  • Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
  • Round-trip flight or cruise tickets if you are visiting Vermont 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. 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 at all Vermont rental counters.

All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies or photos on a phone are not accepted at any Vermont rental counter. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit hold.

Can I get tolls cashback on my Vermont rental even though Vermont has almost no toll roads?

Yes, Tolls Cashback is included with all bookings, and it applies to your Vermont rental even if you pay little or no tolls within Vermont itself.

Vermont has almost no toll roads, so most renters driving exclusively within the state will have minimal toll expenses. However, if your Vermont trip takes you into neighboring states such as New York, Massachusetts, or New Hampshire, where electronic and cashless toll roads are common, any tolls you pay during the rental period are eligible for reimbursement.

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 Vermont booking totals US$500, the maximum cashback is US$25.

To claim, email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle and include:

  • Your Hola Car Rentals reservation confirmation
  • A copy of the rental agreement signed at pickup
  • A receipt or statement showing toll charges paid during the rental

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

Are there young driver surcharges for renters under 25 in Vermont?

Yes, drivers under 25 renting a car in Vermont are subject to a daily young-renter surcharge, and most vehicle classes are restricted to drivers aged 25 and older.

Vermont follows the standard US rental policy: the minimum age to rent without surcharges is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent but will pay an additional daily fee that varies by brand:

  • 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

Vehicle class restrictions also apply in Vermont. Drivers under 25 are generally limited to economy, compact, and intermediate categories. Premium, luxury, full-size SUV, minivan, and convertible classes typically require the main driver to be at least 25.

One exception: if you are from Latin America or the Caribbean and your booking is fulfilled by Avis or Budget, the underage fee may be waived for the main driver aged 21 to 24 on eligible vehicle categories. Check your booking confirmation to see if this waiver is shown.

What are the driving rules in Vermont that rental car drivers should know?

Vermont shares many driving rules with neighboring US states, but there are several local rules that can catch visitors off guard.

Speed and fines:

  • Highway speed limits are generally 55 to 65 mph, similar to neighboring states
  • School zone and worksite speed violations carry doubled fines compared to standard tickets, which is stricter than many neighboring states
  • Unpaved town highways in Vermont may have speed limits set by local vote between 25 and 50 mph, so posted signs matter

Winter driving rules specific to Vermont:

  • Tire chains are mandatory on certain mountain routes, including Vermont Route 108, during winter conditions
  • Fines for non-compliance range from US$1,000 to US$2,000, doubled for repeat violations
  • Secondary and mountain roads can close without notice between December and April due to snow, and salt shortages in recent seasons have left some roads slick even after plowing

Other rules:

  • Right turn on red is permitted unless a sign prohibits it; you must yield to pedestrians and cross traffic
  • When passing cyclists in Vermont, a minimum clearance of 4 feet is required
  • Neighborhood electric vehicles are capped at 25 mph

Visitors renting a car in Vermont should Budget extra time for mountain routes in winter and always check road conditions before heading to higher elevations.

Do I need winter tires or chains for my rental car in Vermont?

Yes, tire chains are legally required on certain Vermont mountain routes during winter conditions, and this is enforced more strictly than in many neighboring states.

Vermont Route 108, which connects Stowe to the Mt. Mansfield summit area, is one route where chains are mandatory when conditions require them. Fines for non-compliance start at US$1,000 and can reach US$2,000, with doubled penalties for repeat violations.

Standard rental vehicles in Vermont are not automatically equipped with chains. If you plan to drive mountain passes or remote roads between December and April, ask at the rental counter whether chains are available as an add-on, or arrange them separately before your trip.

Beyond chains, Vermont's winter road conditions present additional challenges:

  • Secondary and mountain roads can close without a fixed schedule when snow accumulates
  • Salt shortages in recent seasons have left persistent slick spots on side roads even after plowing
  • Public works in Vermont prioritize intersections and turns, so straight stretches of secondary roads may remain snow-packed longer

If you are renting a car in Vermont during winter months, an all-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive vehicle is worth considering. Check your booking confirmation for vehicle drivetrain details, and confirm chain availability with the rental counter at pickup.

What is the fuel policy for rental cars in Vermont?

The standard fuel policy for rental cars in Vermont is Full-to-Full. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.

At pickup in Vermont, 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 both the odometer and fuel gauge before leaving the lot.

When returning your Vermont rental, refuel within approximately 10 miles or 15 km 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 vehicle with less than a full tank, you may be charged:

  • A fuel shortfall at the rental partner's refueling rate, which is typically higher than the pump price
  • A refueling service or administrative fee on top of the fuel cost

For after-hours returns at Burlington International Airport in Vermont, leave the fuel receipt in the key envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge on your phone as documentation. After-hours returns are processed the next business day, and you remain responsible for the vehicle until check-in is complete.

Does travel assistance cover me if I break down on a remote Vermont road?

Yes, most bookings include travel assistance through Terrawind Global Protection, and this coverage can be valuable if something goes wrong on Vermont's rural or mountain roads, which can be far from urban services.

Vermont has many remote secondary roads and mountain passes where help may not be immediately available. The travel assistance included with eligible bookings covers:

  • 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

If you need assistance while driving in Vermont, contact the provider immediately:

  • Phone (24/7, toll-free or collect): +1 888 980 9992
  • WhatsApp: +1 208 910 1001
  • Email: [email protected]

Provide your full name, your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number, your location in Vermont, and a brief description of the situation. Follow the coordinator's instructions before incurring expenses, as some reimbursements require prior authorization.

Important: this travel assistance benefit applies only to non-North American customers. Residents of the United States and Canada do not qualify for this coverage. It also does not cover damage to the rental vehicle itself, which is handled separately by CDW/LDW.

How does the security deposit work for rental cars in Vermont?

When you pick up your rental car in Vermont, the rental partner will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card. This is not a charge but it reduces your available credit until the rental is closed and your bank releases the hold.

Typical deposit holds in the United States, including Vermont, are approximately US$300 to US$400 for standard vehicle classes. Premium or specialty vehicles may require a higher hold. The exact amount is set by the rental company at the counter and can vary by brand, location, and season.

Key requirements for the deposit in Vermont:

  • A physical, major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card is required
  • The card must be in the main driver's name
  • Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted for the deposit hold
  • You must have sufficient available credit to cover the hold plus any expected charges

After you return the vehicle in Vermont, the hold is released by the rental partner. Your bank or card issuer controls when the credit reappears on your account, which can take up to 15 business days. Bringing a backup credit card is recommended in case your primary card is declined at the counter.

Can I return my rental car after hours at Burlington Airport in Vermont?

Yes, after-hours returns are available at Burlington International Airport (BTV) in Vermont across major rental brands.

The process for returning your Vermont rental outside counter hours depends on your brand:

  • Alamo: Park in designated Alamo spaces in the on-site garage and drop the keys in the dropbox at the main terminal counter
  • Avis and Budget: Counter hours run until 12:15 AM; returns after that are processed the next business day
  • Enterprise: Counter closes at 11:59 PM; after-hours key drop is available

For all after-hours returns at Vermont's Burlington airport, note the following:

  • Record the mileage and fuel level before leaving the vehicle
  • Lock the car and drop the keys in the designated dropbox at the counter
  • Keep a photo of the fuel gauge and odometer as documentation
  • You remain responsible for the vehicle until the rental company processes the return the next business day

Make sure the tank is full before returning, as the Full-to-Full fuel policy applies regardless of return time. If you return with less than a full tank, refueling fees will be applied when the contract is processed.

Is insurance included in my rental car booking in Vermont?

Whether insurance is included in your Vermont rental depends on the rate plan you selected at booking. Check your booking confirmation carefully, as coverage varies.

The two main protections to look for are:

  • Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): reduces your financial liability for damage to the rental vehicle from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation states zero deductible. CDW/LDW does 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 in Vermont. Some US states require rental companies to include state-minimum liability, but not all do. Adding supplemental liability up to US$300,000 is strongly recommended.

Neither CDW/LDW nor LIS/ALI/SLI covers your personal injuries (that requires PAI) or your belongings (that requires PEC).

At the Vermont rental counter, review the rental agreement before signing to confirm which coverages are active and what deductibles apply. Only drivers named on the agreement are covered. If someone not listed on the contract drives the vehicle in Vermont, coverage may be void.

Can I pick up a car in Vermont and drop it off in another state?

Yes, one-way rentals from Vermont to another state are generally possible through major rental brands, but a drop-off fee will apply in most cases and must be confirmed at booking.

Vermont's location in the northeastern US makes one-way rentals to neighboring states such as New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine common requests. However, the drop-off fee varies significantly depending on the route, the rental brand, the vehicle class, and the season.

How to check if a drop-off fee applies to your Vermont one-way rental:

  • During the booking search, select your Vermont pickup location and a different return location
  • On the rate details page, look for a line labeled "Drop-Off Fee" under the "To pay at destination" section
  • If no fee appears, the route does not carry a one-way surcharge for that rate

The drop-off fee cannot be prepaid and is not covered by No Extra Charges© unless it was not disclosed during booking. Cross-border one-ways, such as Vermont to Canada, may be restricted or carry higher fees depending on the rental partner. Always confirm cross-border permissions on your rental agreement before driving across the border.

If you need to change your drop-off location after booking your Vermont rental, contact support as soon as possible, as changes may reprice the reservation.
