About this calculator

Estimate the total cost of a car rental including daily rate, taxes, insurance, and extra fees for your trip.

Do rental car companies always charge extra fees?

Many charge airport concession fees, taxes, and surcharges that aren't included in the advertised daily rate, sometimes adding 15-30% to the total.

Is rental car insurance worth it?

If your personal auto insurance or credit card already covers rental cars, you may be able to skip the rental company's coverage and save money.

How can I lower my rental car cost?

Book in advance, avoid airport locations when possible, and check if your credit card offers rental coverage to skip add-on insurance.
