NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - A WSMV4 viewer’s complaint about rising costs at Nashville International Airport led to a shocking discovery about rental car fees that could be hitting your wallet hard.

Michael Vernon thought he was getting a straightforward rental car deal during a recent visit home to Nashville from Florida. Instead, his bill included five different taxes, plus a daily fee, which left him stunned.

“On one of them, it was 50 to 55% just in taxes. That’s shocking to anyone,” Vernon said.

The airport has more than doubled its Customer Facility Charge from $4.50 to $10 per day to help fund a new $650 million rental car facility. For a week-long rental, that’s $70 in facility fees alone.

But there are ways to save hundreds of dollars on your next trip.
