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 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 San Francisco. Be sure you budget accordingly, or contact Auto Europe to see if we can beat the price.

Many online car hire services do not disclose these 'hidden fees,' so we try to be upfront and transparent about them so you know what you'll be paying for your car hire in San Francisco before you depart on your trip.
