State Of Maryland Takes On Car Rental Companies Over Highway Robbery Refueling Fees Of Up To $7.99 A Gallon.

Car rental refueling fees have always been a thorn in anybody's side if you return your car with an empty tank. Today, there are many car rental companies at airports charging $7.

99 a gallon if you return your car with less than a full tank of gas.

On July 1, 2008, the eight major car rental companies in Maryland agreed to charge customers returning cars no more than 42% over the local pump price.

It should be noted that at many airports across America, Enterprise (the largest USA car rental company and owner of National and Alamo) has always charged less to refuel car rentals. Before the new fees went into effect last week, Enterprise's refueling fee was $5.20 a gallon while others were charging $7.99 a gallon.

These new rules are not great, but they are good. Just remember that it is always better to refuel yourself to avoid these highway robbery surcharges.

We do like the new policy that Hertz has taken upon themselves to put in place. To check out this related story, please click here.
