They're a mix of Avis fees and fees from the local jurisdiction.

-ERF: Avis fee, not sure of what it exactly covers
-VLF: Avis fee, exactly what it sounds like
-CFC & TAF: Local fees that you'll pay on any rental from that location
-CRF: Another Avis fee that I'm not sure of the reasoning
-Tax: Local/state taxes

You could try an off-site rental from any agency to see if the fees happen to be any lower and worth the hassle.

Another example of why I hate policians that dump fees onto travelers who rent cars.
