Marliny Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 What's with the taxes/fees on car rentals? For the time period I am looking at which is not quite 2 days, my lowest price through conventional methods for a compact car is $27.66 + $10.47 in taxes ($38.13 total). If I start a Priceline bid even at $10/day my taxes and fees come to $24.74 (total of $44.74), so to get a total that was equal to my regular rental for a compact I would have to bid $6.69 / day just to equal my regular price. I am sure I wouldn't get it at that price, plus to justify Priceline I really would want to be under that price. Why are their taxes and fees so high compared to the car rental agencies directly? Hotwire is $54.21 total w/ fees.
