You could have a company that charges $250 with a $100 one-way fee, while another company could charge $400 with no one-way fee, but in that case, you'd want to go with the first company with the one-way fee since the total price is less.

Bottom line--just compare the final rate and don't worry about how the taxes and fees break down as it really doesn't matter much in the end.
