Nickel & dimed @ Alamo Rental Car

I thought I'd seen it all when it came to add on fees and service charges but Alamo Rental Car wins one for their creativity. On a rental in Orlando they tacked on .05 cents a day, yes a nickel a day for tire & battery usage!

Pretty soon they're going to charge travelers for the air in the tires. Or maybe we'll have to pay extra to turn on the radio, run the air conditioner or heater.
