Taxes & Fees – Car Rentals
At Globe Mergers , we are committed to clear and upfront pricing for car rental services only. This section explains how rental costs, applicable taxes, and related fees are calculated so you can understand the full price before completing your booking.
How Rental Pricing Is Structured
The total amount displayed at checkout represents the complete cost of your car rental, including mandatory taxes and required fees. We do not introduce undisclosed charges after confirmation. What you see before booking is what you can expect to pay.
Base Rental Cost
The base rental rate typically includes:
- The selected vehicle type or class
- The rental period (daily, weekly, or extended duration)
- Standard mileage allowance, where applicable
This rate reflects the cost of the vehicle itself. Additional charges may apply depending on location, local regulations, or optional services you choose.
Mandatory Taxes & Location Charges
Car rental taxes and surcharges are set by local, state, or governmental authorities and vary by pickup location. These may include:
- Sales tax or value-added tax (VAT)
- Airport concession or facility recovery fees
- Local vehicle rental or tourism surcharges
All required taxes and location-based fees are shown clearly during checkout and collected in compliance with applicable regulations.
Service & Processing Fees
Globe Mergers may apply a service or processing fee to cover reservation handling, customer support, and secure transaction management. Any such fee is disclosed in advance and displayed separately before confirmation.
Optional Extras & Add-Ons
Optional services are charged only if selected and may include:
- Damage waiver or liability protection options
- GPS navigation units or in-car Wi-Fi
- Child or booster seats
- Additional or young drivers
- Fuel service or prepaid fuel plans
These optional items are listed individually, allowing you to customize your rental and control total costs.
