I'm booking a rental for January, and because I'm now located overseas, the system at Avis (like the one at Budget) gives me a total price that doesn't include all of the usual taxes and fees. So all I'm getting is the base rate with my "reservation" - am I right in assuming this means they're going to stick me with all the taxes and fees when I show up to pick up the car? It's very peculiar. If I claim to be a resident of USA, the rates are all different (same AWD), and the taxes are included. For example, as an overseas resident, my AWD gives me access to an Intermediate SUV for $368.05 with no taxes (pay at counter), whereas as a US resident the same AWD gives access to a Standard SUV for $319 (base) + $155.54 (taxes and fees) for a total (pay at counter) of $474.54. Does anyone have any idea what the deal is here? Is this just how they treat non-residents to a little "welcome to our airport"? Or is some unexpected generosity in store for potential visitors? I've already made a tentative reservation, but when I realized there's no tax on that, I wanted to hop on here and see if anyone has some insights.
