No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your booking at Orlando 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 Orlando 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 Orlando Airport, the rental car counter location depends on which terminal you arrive in.

• Terminals A and B: counters are on Level 1 of the Main Terminal. If you arrive via an Airside satellite, take the airport people-mover train to the main terminal, then use the elevator down to Level 1. Counters for Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, National, and Thrifty are grouped on the A or B side accordingly.
• Terminal C: follow signs to the connected rental car center, where counters are located on Level 4. No shuttle is needed from Terminal C.

For on-site brands, vehicles are parked in the attached garage directly across from the terminals, a short walk with no shuttle required. Off-site brands use designated shuttle zones at Terminal A (stops A11 to A13), Terminal B (stops B11 to B13), and Terminal C (stops C277 to C278).

The main Rental Car Center address at Orlando Airport is 1 Jeff Fuqua Blvd, Orlando, FL 32827. Allow extra time if arriving at Terminal C, as the layout involves longer walking distances from distant gates to the ground transportation area.

For international arrivals at Orlando Airport, the full process from landing to driving away typically takes 60 to 120 minutes, and sometimes longer during busy periods.

• Immigration and customs: 20 to 90 minutes depending on queue length and time of day.
• Baggage claim: 15 to 45 minutes.
• Counter check-in and paperwork: 10 to 25 minutes.
• Walking to the vehicle and exiting the garage: 10 to 25 minutes.

If you are traveling with carry-on luggage only and arrive during a quiet period, the best-case total is around 45 to 75 minutes from landing to leaving Orlando Airport.

Some brands such as Alamo and Enterprise offer self-service kiosks at Orlando Airport that allow you to skip the counter line if you have already completed your check-in online, which can significantly reduce wait time. After completing check-in, you walk to the attached parking garage across from the terminal to locate your vehicle, inspect it for any pre-existing damage, and exit through the gate where an attendant scans your paperwork.

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

• Your original, unexpired driver's license. Digital licenses are not accepted.
• A valid passport or government-issued photo ID matching the name on your booking.
• A major credit card in the main driver's name, with the driver's name printed on the physical card, for the security deposit hold.
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher.
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets (required for visitors from outside the United States).

If your driver's license is not in English and does not use a Latin alphabet (for example, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script), an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory at Orlando Airport rental counters. For licenses in other non-English scripts, an IDP is strongly recommended even if not strictly required by every partner.

The IDP is a translation document only and must always be carried alongside your original license. It is not a standalone license and will not be accepted without it. If you think you may need one, obtain it in your home country before traveling, as it cannot be issued abroad.
