renter's name. You need bring the card you use for reservation when
you go to pickup the car.

is important to realize they are additional expenses that will
increase your bill. "Off airport" rental locations usually have
lower surcharges.
License Fees:
Some states allow car rental companies to charge extra to recover
the costs of licensing their cars.
Gasoline Charges:
In most cases, you will pay a very high premium for returning a car
with an empty tank. Car rental company also provide prepaid
gasoline plans, which means you pay in advance in your contract for
refilling the car after return.
Unless you think you'll be in a hurry, otherwise just decline this
option and refill the car before you return it.
Drop off charge:
An extra fee is usually charged if a car is returned to a different
location than where it was picked up. This fee varies by location
so there usually is no general policy in place. However, some
companies do not require a charge when dropping off in-state at
many Florida and California locations.
