Subject: CA car rental fees Posted on: Sat, 5 May 2007 23:39:23 -0400

The CA fees for Hertz (probably all at the airport) are really
something:

Additional Items (included in Total Charges)
Tax 18.60 %
AIRPORT CONCESSION RECOVERY ON
FLIGHT ARRIVALS WITHIN 12 HOURS:11.10 %
Customer Facility Charge: $84.00
Vehicle Licensing Cost Recovery 0.65 %
Total Approximate Charges $1859.43

"Thank you sir, may I have another "
Rhetorically he asked ...
18% tax !?? An 11% CONCESSION charge because I'm arriving within 12
hours of pick up ? They think I should EAT more at the concession stands
... so we should all hang out at the airport for 13 hours after arrival
to save 11% ? and .. they need to cover the cost of licensing the car
? Shouldn't $1859 every few weeks cover that ? Apparently they have to
get another $12.08 every 3 weeks. ... (100% = .065 *x) ... x = 154
times. ... $12.08 times 154 = a lot of recovery cost, huh ?
