How about a story on the ridiculous amount of taxes state and local governments levy on travelers? How is it that my rental rate has 30% in taxes and fees added to it?
Try that for 45 to 55% at DFW or IAH - why should the travellers pay for the stadium? That is what Houston charges on the rental car!

Cannot believe journalism has gotten to such low level - trying to fabricate a "victim" story. There are PROMINENT signs all over at the counter, on the wall, about the fee for driving < 75 miles if you dont bring back a refueling receipt. Then the counter agent would repeat the same thing when go over the contract. No way anyone, even a mother with 2 kids would ever miss such.
