Thanks, Bob1008.
Here's what happens:
Indeed, without checking "corporate", but by adding the AWD, I now get a rate quote for LAX 7/23, smallest car, 1 day of $13.49. But then they add surcharges and tax of $3.52 and $1.40, respectively, for a total of $18.41.
But if I use no AWD, the rate is $14.99, with tax of $1.24, and NO SURCHARGE, for a total of $16.23.
Apparently the surcharges apply only in certain cases. Isn't this a little strange?
