A fuel service charge is a fee that you may be charged when you hire a car. This fee is charged if you don't choose the fuel service option and return the car with less fuel than when you picked it up. The charge is a per-mile or per-gallon rate and is stated on your rental agreement. If you drive fewer than 75 miles, you will be charged a flat fee of $15.99 (or $17.99 if you rent the vehicle in California). This fee can be avoided if you purchase fuel and provide a receipt.
