After Hour Returns are allowed. Customers will pull into the rental car return, park the vehicle in the designated spaces. Lock all doors, record the return date and time, mileage, and tank level on rental agreement jacket. Place keys and rental agreement in the overnight drop box located downstairs in the return area or upstairs at the Hertz rental counter. Remember to take your personal belongings with you. Location will e-mail copy of rental receipt. Customers who return after the rental location has closed are considered to still be in possession of the rental vehicle, and are therefore responsible for the vehicle until the rental location reopens and takes possession. Charges are final once the contract is closed the next morning.

Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) and Liability Insurance Supplement (LIS) are offered at the time of rental. Additional charges apply. Acceptance of the Loss Damage Waiver relieves the renter and authorized additional drivers of responsibility for loss of, or damage to the rental car, when they comply with the terms and conditions listed on the rental agreement. All coverages are optional. If the Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) is declined, customers may be responsible for any loss or damage to the rental vehicle regardless of fault. If the Liability Insurance Supplement (LIS) is declined, any insurance that provides coverage to the Primary Renter or authorized Additional Driver will be primary.

To qualify to rent a Dollar vehicle, the renter must present at the time of rental a valid driver’s license and valid major credit card or debit card (see Debit Card Usage below) in the renter's own name with available credit and funds. Non-prepaid Debit cards issued under a VISA, MasterCard or Discover logo which draw funds directly from the cardholder’s account may be used at the outset of a rental. If the reservation was made within 24 hours of rental or if the customer is renting a convertible, premium, Dream or luxury car class, then a non-prepaid debit card with a VISA, Mastercard or Discover logo may be used as long as the following requirements are met: present two (2) valid forms of identification; and proof of a return travel ticket to coincide with the rental (airline/train/cruise). At the time of rental, an authorized hold will be secured on your credit/debit card provided to cover the estimated rental charges and any additional charges that may be incurred. These funds will not be available for your use for the duration of the rental. We will place an authorization amount of $200 plus the cost of the rental. The above incremental hold will not be applied to established EXPRESS members with a VISA card in their profile. If Dollar cannot secure credit approval or funds for this amount and/or proper identification credentials are not supplied, Dollar will decline your rental.

Many roads throughout the United States are “all-electronic,” which means that there is not an option to pay for tolls with cash or credit/debit cards when utilizing these toll roads. As a convenience, Dollar offers its customers an all-inclusive tolling product - PlatePass® - which is an optional product to pay for all electronic tolls that the customer encounters during his/her rental. If a customer declines the PlatePass® option, Dollar will charge the customer the cash/highest undiscounted price for each electronic toll incurred plus an administrative fee of $15.00 per incurred toll – capped at $90 per rental period – unless the customer makes some other arrangement to directly pay for the electronic tolls he/she incurs. These toll-related charges can be avoided by staying off toll roads, using a personal transponder – where permitted – or by making direct-pay arrangements with the toll authority – where allowed.

Customers who do not purchase our refueling option must refill the vehicle within a 10-mile radius of the rental return facility and present a fuel receipt to avoid refueling charges. No refunds or credits will be given for unused fuel.
