Beware of hidden fees and taxes. Make sure to return your rental car with the same amount of gas that was in it when you left. The rental company keeps track of this and if you think gas is expensive now wait until you see what the rental company will charge your credit card per gallon.

Also stay away from renting at an airport if you can. Often times an additional "airport fee" in excess of $10 per day can be tacked unto your bill. Texas airports were the chief offenders, but airports in states like Arizona, Ohio, Maryland, Missouri and New Mexico also cost renters more in taxes and fees.

Another hidden fee is the excess taxes in addition to the sales tax such as the licensing fees, "arena fees," mileage fees, or other confusing fees. Renter beware if you see any rates below $20 per day. These rates are too good to be true and are often loaded with hidden taxes.
This has been Lisel Hlista for travelwishtv.com with yet another travel tip. Thanks for watching.

  • Worst tip ever!

  • jacob once you leave your dead end rental job you will regret trying to defend a rip off industry especially with a industry rep as bad as enterprise

  • Wow I am amazed how ppl feel aout these rental tips....

  • I want to speak to whoever is in charge of travel TV. And my god, these are literally some of the worst travel tips I've seen. First of all, Enterprise will tell you that you have to bring gas back the same way it coms out to you. Secondly, if you bring it back below the amount it came out with, just tell them you'll fill it up and they'll charge u pump price. SEcondly, all of those Airport Fees is out of the hands of rental car agencies. These arn't hidden fees, rental car companies tell u.

  • Oh, and Enterprise doesn't rent Accords like in your pic.
