What’s with that? http://www.consumertraveler.com/today/an-extra-14-for-a-concession-fee-recovery-on-an-all-inclusive-price-whats-with-that/ The last honest travel site Sun, 12 Feb 2012 20:20:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Cindy http://www.consumertraveler.com/today/an-extra-14-for-a-concession-fee-recovery-on-an-all-inclusive-price-whats-with-that/comment-page-1/#comment-32014 Cindy Mon, 03 Jan 2011 05:20:40 +0000 http://www.consumertraveler.com/?p=20179#comment-32014 Thank you for your article. I just got home from my vacation and started to look through all my credit card receipts. I was wondering what those extra fees and charges were on my final car rental receipt from Budget. Then I looked at my Hotwire confirmation and saw that Hotwire also charged me some tax recovery charges and fees. After searching on the web and reading your article, I called Hotwire. The lady tried to contact Budget right away, but there was no one at the counter. She told me to fax my final receipt to Hotwire and that they will contact Budget about double charging me these recovery fees. The lady told me it will take up to 7-10 business days to resolve this. You are right - I really need to take a close look next time so that I won't be charged twice for these fees! Thanks again for writing the article! Thank you for your article.

I've pretty much stopped renting cars because of all the aggravation they put customers through.

Like many others, I'm always trying to get the best deal (since I have a limited budget for travel) and would be in a pickle if I found I had to pay for questionable charges. Thanks for going to bat for all of us !
