For your ease and convenience, all USA and Canada package holidays
on this website include a hire car (excluding Park City, Utah). It's so easy
to drive in the United States and Canada, and we have a great range of cars
available to carry all your luggage and equipment comfortably.
Please Note: Our Flydrive Packages include a hire car for the first week.
Any additional days/weeks will incur additional charges. Please continue with
your flydrive using the booking form on your left for complete prices.
Important Information
Over 21's only!
Remember, to hire a car in the USA you need to be a minimum of 21 years of age. If you are aged between 21-24 inclusive,
you will need to pay a Young Driver Surcharge locally, unless you have pre-purchased our Platinum Package.
Deposits and Credit Cards
Alamo require the lead driver to have a credit card in their name. This will
be swiped at time of pick up for authorisation but no amount will be deducted.
Fuel
If you have taken out our Platinum Insurance Package then a full tank of fuel
is included. If you haven't taken this package then you will be required to
pay for a tank of fuel on arrival. You can then return the car empty.
Don't forget your license!
You need a full British one. If you have a new style license remember to take
both parts with you, not just the photocard. You are not allowed to rent a car
if you hold a US or Canadian driving license.
Free One Ways
If you're travelling further afield, cars can be picked up and dropped off at any of the depots in California and Nevada with NO one-way fees.
One Way Drop Off in Canada
Please note that the following charges are paid locally and are subject to change.

Virgin's car upgrade policy
Virgin Holidays and Alamo want your holiday to be problem free and for all
our clients to fully understand the charges that may be made payable. One area
that is VERY IMPORTANT to consider carefully is the size
of your car.
Add Insurance
All Alamo's cars come with Basic Third Party liability insurance of up to $1,000,000
but no other taxes or insurances.
Third Party Liability Insurance covers you for the damage to a third party's
car in the event of an accident but not your own hire car. You'll need to have
additional insurances to cover you for damage to your own hire car and if you
are involved in an accident will need to provide proof of this to the state
troopers.
This additional insurance can be purchased at the Car Hire desk on arrival
or can be pre purchased through us in the UK before you travel.
We highly recommend that you buy extra cover with us. We have two great value
options for you to choose from;
EXCLUSIVE Platinum Insurance
Includes all taxes, insurance and airport fees plus additional drivers, a tank
of fuel, and underage drivers. Plus EXCLUSIVE to Virgin Holidays child seats
are also included!
Fully Inclusive Insurance
Includes all taxes, insurance and airport fees.
Pre-booking one of these options through Virgin Holidays gives you peace of
mind and means there is nothing further to pay when you arrive!
