Quick Summary
Certain Hola Car Rentals rates fulfilled by Avis and Budget waive the young-renter fee / underage surcharge for the main driver aged 21-24, only when:
- The traveler is from Latin America or the Caribbean (LAC), and
- The waiver is explicitly shown on the Hola Car Rentals confirmation, and
- The rental takes place within U.S. territory
If this exception does not apply, the standard young driver fee for Avis or Budget usually starts at about $25 per rental day plus taxes, depending on the location.
The waiver applies to the main driver only. Additional drivers aged 21-24 may still be charged the underage fee or may not be accepted, depending on local rules.
What the exception covers
- Waiver of the young-renter fee for the main driver aged 21-24 on eligible Hola rates
- Applicable only to Avis or Budget bookings in the United States
- Traveler must prove eligible LAC nationality or residency if requested
- The fee waiver must already appear on the confirmation
When the exception does not apply
- The traveler is not from Latin America or the Caribbean
- The confirmation does not show the waiver
- The rental is outside the United States
- The person is an additional driver, not the main driver
In those cases, the usual Avis or Budget underage fee generally starts at about $25 per rental day plus taxes, subject to location rules.
