Hidden Fees on Rental Cars and How to Dodge Every Single One

The GPS and Accessory Charges

While convenient, renting GPS units or other accessories like child seats can add unexpected costs to your rental bill. Instead, use your smartphone’s navigation apps, which offer free and updated maps. For families, bringing your own child seat can save money and ensure quality and safety standards. If accessories are necessary, check if your rental company offers them for free or through loyalty programs. By planning ahead, you can avoid these accessory charges and keep your rental cost-effective.
