Fuel
You will be responsible for the fuel used during the rental. Please clarify with the rental location at the time of pick-up the policy on fuel. The usual policy is that the car is provided with a full tank of fuel, for which you are charged, when you collect the vehicle and you are told to return the car as empty as possible.

Insurance, tax and other fees.
These are all included in our rates and you should not be charged any extras (except Orlando where the airport authorities make a small charge).

Why do I have to give my credit card details
The car rental company is trusting you with a car which has a value in excess of $20,000 so it is reasonable for the car rental company to ask for some security. Your card will only be charged if the car is not returned on time, for willful damage, traffic/parking offences and other expenses which you incur.
