Car rental fees and taxes Are outrageous.

Kay redo your Alamo quote for one week
Total is around 40%.
I had used nine nights because at least one poster indicated this as the rental period - and I don't see signatures :)
Anyway, Alamo compact, nine nights, September:

Does it really matter if the fees ar 40 or 50 %?
The point is they are very high.
 
We are renting a mini van with Budget the first week of June for our Disneyland trip and it is just over $322 for 8 days ($219 for the rental and $103 in fees/taxes). That's the highest we have ever paid for a rental. Most trips to WDW, we drive our own vehicle although we have flown and rented a car numerous times.
 


That’s why we never rent. If we think we’ll need a car. We drive. If not. We fly and use DME and don’t leave property.
 
The taxes and fees are outrageous. We decided to rent from Alamo at the Car Care Center and it is saving us $100 for the same vehicle and duration.
Renting at an airport is usually much more expensive than offsite. Lots of taxes and fees for airports.

I’m glad I get a discount through my company. They have a special leisure rate which is usually the same as business but it detaches my company from liability and I still get to use the rate. Rentals are crazy high right now.
