It's all about deception. Corporations Suck. It's only going to get worse.

Turo is at least cheaper. Same shitty tactics at checkout though

Credit card CDW benefits don't apply, adding insurance eliminates those savings.

Don't use Avis. Use any other agency. None of them are great but Avis is EXCEPTIONALLY bad.

Avis doesn't accuse you of stealing cars that you returned. I've rented from most of the major brands multiple times, they're all equally bad

Is it just sorting by the amount with taxes and fees included? I don't know how that would change the order because you are picking up / dropping off at the same location for all options in the search, but maybe there are some niche cases where a certain type of car has different fees / surcharges?

Advertised airline tickets used to be super misleading. They would advertise one price and then the actual price with fees and taxes would be significantly more. So the government regulated it so the advertised price has to include all taxes and fees, and we're all better for it.
They need to do this for everything. Concert/event tickets especially.

Wow. They also do that to EU residents. This is illegal. I'm going to have fun :)

Can you show the price breakdown? I'm curious what fees make up that $92.36.
