You may be visiting numerous travel sites to secure the best deal on your vehicle hire in Los Angeles. But not all quoted hire prices are the same. Quite a few cheap deals are not what they pretend to be. Some unscrupulous companies don't reveal standard fees to obscure the actual cost of booking a vehicle. Auto Europe does not believe in hiding fees in the fine print to trick our clients. When you book your Los Angeles car with Auto Europe you can be certain that the displayed inclusive rate is what you'll be responsible for. If you reserve your car at a price that's unbelievably low with a competitor, you will simply be obligated to pay the difference at the pick-up counter when you get to Los Angeles.
We value our clients, and that is the reason our team makes every effort to advertise a transparent daily rate. In our view, the majority of today's customers would like to know the final rate they will be asked to pay for a vehicle hire in advance. To assist as you de-mystify the fees and surcharges which are frequently mandated for many unique hire circumstances, we've assembled this abbreviated guide. The frequent types of industry charges highlighted below are a good place to start to be certain that you're educated when hiring a car in Los Angeles.

Most European countries charge international travelers a VAT Tax (or Value Added Tax) on all goods and services. You are responsible for paying this charge (which tends to fall in the 15-30% range depending upon the country you are touring). Some online car hire companies will not include this mandatory tax in their quoted price to try to make their rates appear lower. If you see 'Plus VAT' or 'Taxes Extra' in the car hire contract you can assume that you'll be required to pay this tax locally when you pick up your car hire in Los Angeles. Be sure you budget accordingly, or contact Auto Europe to see if we can beat the price.

Most destinations require that car hire companies pay an assortment of local taxes and fees to account for the extra road traffic their business ensures. These fees can appear on your bill under a wide variety of names, and are typically mandatory. Some examples of how these mandatory local charges could be labeled include Vehicle License Fee, Road Safety Fee, Road Tax, Eco Surcharge or Environmental Fee. You might even see Credit Card Processing Fee as an additional line-item expense from your car hire provider.

Parking space at a major airport or train station comes at a premium, and to cover this cost, car hire agencies who offer convenient pick-up and drop-off right at these terminals will often pass a portion of these costs to travelers in the form of an Airport Surcharge, Premium Location Surcharge, Parking Fee or Rail Station Surcharge. There is a way to avoid these car hire fees. If you don't mind traveling to a downtown location in Los Angeles to pick-up your vehicle, you can avoid paying this convenience cost, but most travelers who factor in the expense and time of catching a cab to a downtown office opt for airport or rail-station pick-up, justifying the extra cost as a worthwhile expense to get on the road faster and maximize their time in Los Angeles. Wherever you choose to pick up your car hire in Los Angeles, we recommend that you pay careful attention to the office's business hours on your Auto Europe voucher so that you can return your vehicle when their office is open. This way you can avoid costly Late Return Fees, sometimes called Out of Hours Fees.

One of the best-understood car hire fees (but also one that is often overlooked) is the fuel policy of your hire. If you have a Full to Full policy on your hire contract, you can avoid any extra fee by filling your car with fuel before dropping it off at the end of your trip. A Full to Empty policy allows you to drop your vehicle off at any fuel level without worrying about extra fees.

If you plan to have more than one driver, you may be asked to pay an Additional Driver Fee at the counter when you pick up your car hire in Los Angeles. If you can have a single driver for your trip, you can typically avoid this fee.
Additionally, some car hire agencies in Los Angeles will assign a Young Driver Surcharge to daily rates for drivers under the age of 25 (or in some cases 21). The same is true with Senior Driver Fees which may be added to hire contracts for drivers over the age of 65.
It's important to note, however, that not every local car hire operator will charge these fees (and even if they do, some charge less than others). If you fall in these age brackets, call Auto Europe's reservation specialists and we can help you find the best deal on your Los Angeles hire.
