Hidden travel fees most people overlook

If you plan on traveling it is always important to ask about possible fees in advance. Asking can save you from the headache of paying extra for unnecessary service as well as help you plan and prepare for your trip.

Below are a few hidden fees you need to look out for while traveling.

Fill the Tank
Upon returning a rented vehicle make sure to refill the gas tank since companies can charge up to double the local price per used gallon of gasoline. Make sure that the tank is full before you leave and ask a rental attendant to fill it up if necessary.

Beverage Bummer
Drinks on cruise ships are not free. Despite what you shelled out for your trip you can expect to pay even more each time you take a sip.

Everything from alcohol to bottled water will be added to your tab. Also, ordering drinks from a bar comes with an automatic gratuity charge.

Sneaky Resort Fees
Hotels can charge you up to $50 per day for extra facilities. These include tennis courts, gyms and pools. You might also pay a ‘housekeeping fee’ to cover cleaning costs and ‘energy and fuel’ surcharges to cover electricity.
