No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your booking at Tampa Airport 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 at Tampa Airport 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 Tampa Airport, all major rental car brands are located at the Consolidated Rental Car Center (CONRAC), not inside the terminal. Here is how to get there after landing:

• Clear immigration and customs, then collect your baggage on the first floor of the main terminal.
• Follow signs for "Ground Transportation / Rental Cars" or "SkyConnect" to the elevated people mover station inside the terminal. No outdoor walkway or separate shuttle is needed.
• Board the free SkyConnect train for a 2 to 3 minute ride directly to the CONRAC, located at 5405 Airport Service Rd, Tampa, FL 33607.
• At the CONRAC Customer Service Plaza, proceed to your brand's counter. Alamo, National, and Enterprise are grouped together; Hertz, Dollar, and Thrifty are nearby; smaller operators are in a separate hall.
• After completing paperwork or using a loyalty kiosk, follow signs to the attached garage to collect your vehicle.

Off-site or remote operators require following CONRAC signs to "Remote Curbside Pickup" for a company shuttle. Allow 1.5 to 3 hours total from landing to driving away, including immigration and counter processing time.

To collect your rental car at Tampa Airport, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:

• Your original, unexpired driver's license in the main driver's name.
• An International Driving Permit (IDP) if your license uses a non-Latin alphabet such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic. The IDP is a translation only and must be carried alongside your original license.
• A valid passport or government-issued photo ID.
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher.
• A physical major credit card with the main driver's name printed on the card, for the security deposit hold.
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets (required for visitors from abroad).

Digital documents are not accepted at Tampa Airport rental counters. All documents must be physical originals. If your license is in English or issued by an EU/EEA country, an IDP is generally not required, but it is always a good idea to obtain one before traveling if there is any doubt. The IDP cannot be obtained in the United States by non-US license holders, so arrange it in your home country before departure.

Yes, toll roads are common when driving a rental car from Tampa Airport, and nearly all of them are cashless.

Around the Tampa area, you can expect to encounter toll roads such as the Selmon Expressway and other regional expressways, with estimated daily toll costs of approximately US$3 to US$10 depending on your route. Florida's toll system operates primarily through SunPass and E-PASS electronic transponders, as well as Toll-by-Plate (license plate billing) where no transponder is present.

All rental vehicles at Tampa Airport include an electronic toll device or plate-based billing system. At the counter you have two options:

• Purchase an unlimited toll package, which typically costs approximately US$11 to US$15 per rental day in Florida, depending on the rental company.
• Decline the package and pay per use. In this case, the rental company will charge you the toll amount plus daily or administrative processing fees, which can be billed days or weeks after your rental ends.

If you plan to use your own visitor toll pass, inform the counter agent at Tampa Airport so they can deactivate the vehicle's default device and prevent duplicate charges.
