Rental Cars: Know the Pitfalls
Briefly

Prices vary widely based on the vehicle model and the location of the agency. Airport rentals, subject to extra taxes and fees, are generally more expensive. Some cities are now charging similar fees if an agency is within 20 miles of the airport, according to Jonathan Weinberg, the founder of AutoSlash, a car rental platform. Always check both, he said.
If you're flying and choosing an off-airport rental location at your destination, factor in the cost and convenience of transportation to the agency. Most have more limited hours than airport-based outlets, which could be important if your flight is delayed.
Turo and Getaround act like Airbnbs for rental cars: Owners offer their cars for rent, allowing you to choose from a wider selection of vehicles and potentially find better deals.
