Rental Car Fees becomig absurd (hotels, vacation, reservation, airport)

[frankrj]

From Hertz in Nevada



Here is a breakdown of the estimated taxes, fees, and surcharges that apply to your reservation when you pick-up your rental car:

• 12.00 PCT RENTAL TAX 35.67
• 8.25 PCT STATE TAX 24.53
• 22.88 VEHICLE LICENSE FEE 22.88
• Total Taxes, Fees and Surcharges
  $83.08

What the **** is this? Now there's a rental tax fee & a vehicle license fee? I understand the State tax fee. So, now we are now paying for their vehicle to be licensed or do business? This is completely wrong. I am used to paying only the state tax fee.

exactly my point. This was not the airport location. Still they come up with ridiculous fees. Another fee I had removed. Is this part of the deregulation?

we tried that when on vacation but many areas are very thin or have no uber or lyft .

we had no problem getting an uber in charleston to take us to magnolia plantation . there were none available when we had to go home .

we were just in the villages in florida . they have 2 and none work after 8:30pm

Oddly, my smart phone would not download Lyft or Uber. Getting that fixed asap.

I always wondered why Nevadans pay any state taxes at all, when millions of people fly in every year determinrd to leave their money there.
