When you place your booking, you\u2019ll only be charged when the car rental provider confirms your booking. The amount of money you pay at this stage is the cost of your rental including any necessary taxes, plus the optional top-up insurance and\/or cancellation protection if they\u2019ve been added to your booking. You don\u2019t pay for any extra products that are supplied by the car rental provider at this stage.<\/p>\n
When going through the booking process on our website, this sidebar (Rental Summary) is displayed on the right-hand side that displays the charges we are aware that you will be charged for.<\/p>\n
The \u201ctotal payable now\u201d price is the rental cost plus either\/or of the products available through ourselves (if you\u2019ve selected them). This price is due to be paid once your booking is confirmed. This price does not include any local fees.<\/p>\n The bottom section displays any mandatory charges or extra optional products you\u2019ve added to your booking which must be paid for upon collection.<\/p>\n Mandatory charges<\/strong> Extra equipment<\/strong><\/p>\n Certain situations during your rental can lead to unpredictable charges that the car rental supplier has to enforce. You will of course face potential charges if you damage the vehicle. If you\u2019re unsure about how the Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) with zero excess liability that Zest includes as standard protects you, read our guide to car hire insurance here<\/a>. We\u2019ve listed some of the other unpredictable charges below.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If at any point of your rental, right from the booking stage, to when you\u2019ve returned your car, you\u2019re unsure about any charge, we can be contacted for advice. We operate 24\/7 emergency telephone support for those currently on-rental and urge that this service is taken advantage of should an issue arise.<\/p>\n If on collection of the hire vehicle, or after, you\u2019ve noticed an additional charge has been added to your rental agreement, call us for clarification. If you feel that the representative is attempting to hard sell you an extra you don\u2019t need, call us for assistance. It is always better to contact us at the time of an issue so we can try our hardest to rectify it- something that isn\u2019t always easy after your rental has ended.<\/p>\n Written by Jessica Juby.<\/em><\/p>\n![\"Locally](\"https:\/\/www.zestcarrental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Locally-payable-charges.jpg\")

\nThere are certain mandatory charges that you must pay. These are due upon collection of the vehicle and must be paid to the representative from the car rental provider. These fees can vary between providers and are not influenced by Zest; they are set solely by the providers themselves.<\/p>\n\n
