Insane Rental Car Taxes

How is it legal to charge 100% in taxes and fees for rental cars? Seems all cities are trying to boost revenue by screwing car renters. Here’s our family’s latest tally:

  • Walla Walla, WA: $76.65 for the car BUT an additional $74.84 taxes and fees. Just shy of 100%.
  • Boston, MA: $63.32 for the car BUT an additional $67.18 taxes and fees. Hello? That’s OVER 100%!

Where’s the tax tea party when you need it?
