Taxes, VLF, etc. I understand. But what is the $51.19 surcharge?

And if airlines have to advertise their full price, why doesn't Avis have to?
$51.19 is the sum of all surcharge elements other than the applicable state tax of 9.75%.

Surcharges must be disclosed. They need not be advertised. You have your disclosure as plainly evidenced by this surcharge detail. Airline pricing isn't subject to the full variety of state, county and city taxes, and airport PFCs are capped under Federal law.
