If repriced from 28 to 13 days what would the price be? Presumably repriced from a monthly rate to a weekly rate, and does that change the tax and facility charges? (On a Texas hotel taxes are drastically reduced on a four-week rental, or they were way back when I was doing it).
Was the repricing disclosed on the return charge slip? I assume the renter was flying away early or they just would have said never mind I'll keep it car till the scheduled return?
The motel/hotel tax has an exemption for stays 30 days or longer. The motor vehicle rental tax has no such exemption. Thus tax isn't an issue.
