I have been bidding Priceline for October and the taxes have been nearly DOUBLING my bids. I bid $12 for 9 days today (that's $108) and the total, including taxes and fees was coming to $210!

Question:

Several months ago, I requested a reservation from Discount Hawaii Car rental. They quoted me a base rate of $177 and a total of $275. Can I expect that the taxes will be increased? Are they obligated to advise me (as apparently happened to the op)?
