What is Estimated Rental Price?
The Estimated Rental Price includes the total of all known rates,
taxes, fees, surcharges and applicable drop off charges that you
must pay either by law or by local policy for the length of a particular
car rental request. This price does not include optional services
such as insurance waivers, special equipment, mileage charges, or
gasoline etc. It also does not include extra day or hour charges
that can result from a late return of the rental car. This price
is provided so you can better estimate the total price you may pay
to the rental car company for your car, but is not a guarantee of
your total charges. |
