  • Hola Car Rentals is the only premium partner of the top car rental brands operating in Orlando Melbourne, giving you exclusive access to our All Inclusive+ rate. This rate includes benefits that no other company can match:

    • Free liability coverage starting at US$ 300,000 in case of an accident (applies only to certain rates and itineraries)
    • 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 Extra Charges© guarantee: if the counter charges you for something not listed on your confirmation and not an optional add-on you accepted, Hola Car Rentals will work to remove or reimburse the charge after verification

    All of this comes at no extra cost, ensuring a fully protected rental experience and peace of mind throughout your trip in Orlando Melbourne.

  • No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your booking in Orlando Melbourne 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 Orlando Melbourne 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)
  • At Orlando Melbourne International Airport (MLB), rental car counters for all major brands, including Enterprise, Budget, Avis, National, Hertz, and Dollar, are located inside the terminal at 1 Air Terminal Pkwy, Melbourne, FL 32901.

    After collecting your baggage, walk a short distance to the rental counter area. There is no shuttle, train, or consolidated rental car center to navigate, which makes the Orlando Melbourne pickup process faster and simpler than at larger Florida airports. Once paperwork is complete, your vehicle is parked in the adjacent lot, just steps from the counter.

    Counter hours vary by brand. As a general reference, airport counters at Orlando Melbourne typically operate from around 8:00 AM to midnight on most days, though hours can differ by company and season. Confirm your brand's exact hours on your booking confirmation before arrival, and note that key-drop return options are available after hours at some counters.

  • Yes, renting a car at Orlando Melbourne International Airport (MLB) includes airport-specific fees on top of your base rate.

    Expect the following charges when picking up at MLB in Orlando Melbourne:

    • A Customer Facility Charge (CFC) of approximately US$4.50 per transaction, collected by the airport authority
    • An Airport Concession Recovery Fee (ACRF), typically 5 to 10 percent of the base rental rate, which rental companies pass on to cover their airport operating costs
    • Florida state sales tax of 6 percent, plus Brevard County local option taxes of approximately 1 to 2 percent

    If your booking confirmation shows Taxes and Fees as Included, you should not be billed separately for those items at the Orlando Melbourne counter. If you are charged for something not listed on your confirmation, the No Extra Charges© guarantee may apply. Off-airport locations in West Melbourne or Palm Bay can reduce these fees by 15 to 25 percent, though they require separate transport from the terminal.

  • Toll roads in the Orlando Melbourne area are almost entirely cashless. Rental vehicles come equipped with an electronic toll device or a plate-based billing system, so you will pass through gantries without stopping to pay cash.

    Key toll roads you may encounter when driving from Orlando Melbourne include:

    • SR-528 (Beachline Expressway), which connects the Space Coast to Orlando and the Florida Turnpike
    • I-95 access ramps and associated expressways heading north or south
    • Florida Turnpike segments if traveling toward Orlando or Miami

    At the Orlando Melbourne pickup counter, you will typically be offered two options:

    • An unlimited toll package, costing approximately US$11 to US$15 per rental day depending on the brand, covering all tolls during your rental
    • Pay-per-use billing, where each toll is charged to your credit card along with a daily or per-transaction administrative fee

    If you opt out of the rental company's program, you may pay manually where cash lanes exist, or purchase a Florida visitor toll pass and ask the counter agent to deactivate the vehicle's default device to avoid duplicate charges. Note that toll charges can appear on your card days or weeks after the rental ends.

  • Yes, all bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include Tolls Cashback, which reimburses up to 5 percent of your total booking value for tolls paid during your Orlando Melbourne rental.

    This benefit is especially useful in Orlando Melbourne because SR-528 (Beachline Expressway) and the Florida Turnpike are common routes toward Orlando, and toll costs can add up quickly on a multi-day trip.

    To claim your cashback after returning the vehicle:

    • Email [email protected] within 30 days of vehicle return
    • Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback, followed by your reservation number
    • Attach your Hola Car Rentals confirmation, the signed rental agreement, and a toll invoice or statement showing charges paid

    The refund is issued to the same payment method used for your booking and typically processes within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Late submissions received after 30 days are not accepted. This benefit does not mean tolls are included in your rate; you still pay tolls normally and claim reimbursement afterward.

  • To pick up a rental car in Orlando Melbourne, you must present all documents in physical form at the counter. Digital copies are not accepted.

    Required documents include:

    • A valid, original driver's license in the main driver's name
    • A passport or valid government-issued photo ID
    • A major credit card with the main driver's name printed on the physical card, used for the security deposit hold
    • Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
    • Round-trip flight or cruise tickets if you are visiting from abroad

    If your driver's license uses a non-Latin alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory at Orlando Melbourne counters. For licenses in other non-English scripts, an IDP is strongly recommended. The IDP is a translation document only and must be carried alongside your original license, not as a replacement.

    All additional drivers must also be present at the Orlando Melbourne counter with their own valid license and any required IDP, and must sign the rental agreement to be covered.

  • Yes, a major credit card in the main driver's name is required at every Orlando Melbourne rental counter for the security deposit hold.

    Key requirements for the credit card at Orlando Melbourne pickup:

    • The card must be a major credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, or similar), not a debit or prepaid card
    • The driver's name must be printed on the physical card
    • You must present the physical card at the counter; digital wallets and virtual card numbers are not accepted
    • The card must have sufficient available credit to cover the hold, typically around US$300 to US$400 for standard vehicles in the United States

    Even if you prepaid your Orlando Melbourne booking in full, you are still required to present a physical credit card at pickup for the deposit authorization. The hold is temporary and is released after you return the vehicle, though your bank may take up to 15 business days to reflect the release. Bringing a backup credit card in your name is strongly recommended in case your primary card is declined.

  • Yes, one-way rentals from Orlando Melbourne to another city are possible with most partner brands, though a drop-off fee may apply depending on your route.

    How one-way fees work for Orlando Melbourne rentals:

    • Routes between Orlando Melbourne and nearby cities such as Orlando (MCO area) may or may not carry a drop-off fee depending on distance and the rental brand
    • Longer routes, such as Orlando Melbourne to Miami or Tampa, typically include a one-way repositioning fee
    • Cross-state or cross-country one-ways usually carry higher fees or may not be permitted for certain vehicle classes

    The drop-off fee, if applicable, will be shown during the booking process under the To Pay at Destination section of the checkout screen. It cannot be prepaid and is paid directly at the Orlando Melbourne counter or the return location. If a fee appears at the counter that was not disclosed on your confirmation, keep all paperwork and contact support, as the No Extra Charges© guarantee may apply.

  • In Orlando Melbourne, the standard minimum age to rent a car without a surcharge is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent but will be charged a daily young-renter surcharge at the counter.

    Important age-related rules for Orlando Melbourne rentals:

    • Drivers under 25 are restricted from most vehicle classes, including full-size, SUV, minivan, luxury, and convertible categories
    • Economy, compact, and intermediate vehicles are generally available to drivers aged 21 to 24
    • The young-renter surcharge varies by brand: Avis and Budget charge approximately US$13 per day (capped at US$65), Hertz, Dollar, and Thrifty charge approximately US$13.50 per day (capped at US$189), and Alamo, National, and Enterprise charge approximately US$15 per day
    • Drivers from Latin America or the Caribbean aged 21 to 24 may qualify for a young-renter fee waiver on eligible Avis or Budget rates booked through Hola Car Rentals, provided the waiver is shown on the confirmation

    Florida does not have a state law requiring rentals to drivers under 21, so the minimum age in Orlando Melbourne is set by each rental brand's policy.

  • Most bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection, which can be valuable if an unexpected situation arises during your Orlando Melbourne rental, such as a medical emergency on I-95 or SR-528 or a flight cancellation affecting your return.

    Coverage typically includes:

    • Travel and medical insurance for up to 5 passengers
    • Legal assistance in the event of a road accident
    • Compensation for baggage 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 benefit does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada. It also does not cover damage to the rental vehicle itself (that is handled by CDW/LDW) or third-party liability (covered by LIS/ALI/SLI). Always review your Orlando Melbourne booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your reservation.

  • Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Orlando Melbourne rental, but the additional driver must be physically present at the counter at the time of pickup.

    Steps to add an additional driver in Orlando Melbourne:

    • Check your booking confirmation to see if an additional driver is already included at no extra cost
    • If not included, a daily fee applies at the Orlando Melbourne counter: approximately US$13 per day with Avis, Budget, or Payless; US$13.50 per day with Hertz, Dollar, or Thrifty; and US$15 per day with Alamo, National, or Enterprise
    • The additional driver must bring their valid driver's license and, if required, an International Driving Permit
    • Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement

    Only drivers listed on the Orlando Melbourne rental agreement are covered by protections such as CDW/LDW and liability coverage. Anyone who drives the vehicle without being named on the contract may void those protections. For Avis, Budget, and Payless rentals in Orlando Melbourne, additional drivers must generally be at least 25 years old.

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

    How to follow the Full to Full policy in Orlando Melbourne:

    • At pickup, confirm the fuel level with the agent and ensure it is recorded on the rental agreement
    • Take a photo of the dashboard showing the fuel gauge and odometer
    • Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the Orlando Melbourne return location before dropping off the vehicle
    • Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address

    If you return the vehicle below the recorded starting level, the rental company will charge for the fuel shortfall at their own refueling rate, which is typically higher than pump prices, plus a service fee. For after-hours returns at Orlando Melbourne International Airport, leave the fuel receipt in the key-drop envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge on your phone as evidence. The fuel policy is separate from the security deposit hold.

  • Driving in Orlando Melbourne follows standard U.S. rules, but there are a few local characteristics worth knowing before you get behind the wheel.

    Key points for drivers in Orlando Melbourne:

    • SR-528 (Beachline Expressway) is the main route connecting Orlando Melbourne to the Orlando area and the Florida Turnpike; its interchanges have limited exits and can be confusing for first-time visitors
    • US 192 (SR-500) has irregular alignments near certain junctions, with old road sections crossing south of the main road, which can confuse GPS navigation
    • Brevard County uses an Advanced Traffic Management System with adaptive signal timing, so traffic light patterns may feel unpredictable compared to other U.S. cities
    • Some arterial roads in the Orlando Melbourne area have right-in, right-out only access points due to Florida median regulations, which can require longer detours than expected
    • During Kennedy Space Center launch events, US 1 and A1A near Orlando Melbourne can experience significant traffic disruptions with dynamic restrictions

    Florida has no congestion charges or emissions zones. All driving fees in the Orlando Melbourne area are standard cashless tolls on expressways.

  • When renting a car in Orlando Melbourne, two main types of coverage are worth understanding before you arrive at the counter.

    Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) covers damage to the rental vehicle itself from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation explicitly 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 Orlando Melbourne. Florida does not require all rental companies to include state-minimum liability by default, so coverage levels can vary. Hola Car Rentals strongly recommends adding Liability Insurance Supplementary (up to US$300,000) to your Orlando Melbourne rental.

    What these coverages do not include:

    • Your own personal injuries (covered by Personal Accident Insurance, if purchased)
    • Your personal belongings (covered by Personal Effects Coverage, if purchased)
    • Damage from prohibited use such as off-road driving or driving under the influence

    Always verify which coverages are listed on your Orlando Melbourne booking confirmation before arriving at the counter, and add all drivers to the rental agreement to ensure protections apply.
