You aren't by yourself if you have been searching a few travel and discount websites to find the best rate on your next vehicle rental in Girona. Hold on -- there are an assortment of rental fees and add-on costs which could not be displayed in every quoted price. Several of the major online booking websites will often conceal these required surcharges in order to trick you into reserving your car with them. You should be certain that these surcharges will be required upon arrival in Girona when you check-in to get your vehicle, and the total cost will more than likely be more than an inclusive and transparent rate on a site like Auto Europe.
We make every effort to showcase an inclusive, transparent price to our valued customers. Many world travelers want to understand the total price they will be asked to pay for transportation in advance. To help you, we've covered five common fees which quite a few customers visiting Girona might not be familiar with. Below you'll read clear facts about five of the most common car rental taxes and local fees which you may be concerned with when touring Girona.

Most European countries charge international travelers a VAT Tax (or Value Added Tax) on all goods and services. You are responsible for paying this charge (which tends to fall in the 15-30% range depending upon the Girona you are touring). Some online rental car companies will not include this mandatory tax in their quoted price to try to make their rates appear lower. If you see Plus VAT or Taxes Extra in the rental car contract you can assume that you€ll be required to pay this tax locally when you pick up your car rental in Girona. Be sure you budget accordingly, or contact Auto Europe to see if we can beat the price.

There are many names for local rental car taxes, including Road Tax, Vehicle License Fee, Environmental Fee or Eco Surcharge, Credit Card Processing Fee, or Road Safety Fee. The cost of these mandatory charges is usually low ($1 - $5 per day), and they are required by law for drivers in many locations around the world. Many online car rental services do not disclose these hidden fees, so we make an effort to be up front and transparent about them so you know what you€ll be paying for your rental car in Girona before you depart on your trip.

Most car rental companies in Europe and around the world have to cover the cost of additional permitting if you plan to drive their vehicle across international borders. If your itinerary will take you into a neighboring nation while driving in Girona, this cost may be passed on to you in the form of an international travel fee, often labeled as a Cross Border Fee or a Travel to Other Countries surcharge. This cost is generally not prohibitive (as long as you plan to return your vehicle in Girona. Some local car rental companies may not allow you to drive their vehicles across international borders at all, but if they do you can expect to pay somewhere in the $20 - $50 range.

Most rental car agreements in Girona require you to fill your vehicle with fuel prior to dropping it off at the agency when your trip is over. These Full to Full policies can result in a fee, charged after the fact, if you do not fill your vehicle up with gas or diesel fuel prior to dropping it off at the end of your trip. Pay close attention to your rental car contract, as you can generally save a little money by filling your tank yourself instead of relying on the local agency to do it for you.

Drivers who are young (usually under the age of 25) or older (typically 65 or older) may be asked to pay a Senior Driver Fee or Young Driver Surcharge at the counter when picking up their rental car in Girona. Drivers in these age brackets tend to be considered higher risk, and some (but not all) local operators will charge a daily fee to rent to older or younger drivers. This fee varies depending upon the rental car agency you've booked with, but can be $5 per day, or more. Auto Europe may be able to compare your booking details between other local providers to help you find a vehicle with a lower (or no) additional driver fee to save you money.
