Hertz lose $73 million for the fourth quarter of 2008.

No be for your airline ticket. No be for your hotel bill. You fit see these new extras for your next car rental bill.

Troubled car rental companies dey quietly add new surcharges wey dem design to increase their money for this recession period.

To get sense of how e dey ridiculous, meet Jim Swofford. E see one kain $5 fee for im Hertz bill recently, wey one representative talk say na cancellation fee. Car rental companies no dey usually charge their customers for cancellations, so Swofford, wey dey always rent from Hertz, talk say e no wan the car wey e reserve for later.

"That one go be $25," the agent tell am.

"So I just joke say I no go cancel but just no show," e remember. "She talk say that one go attract $50 fee."

Or talk to Eric Hegwer, one photographer from Austin, Texas, wey see one $1 "energy surcharge" for im Hertz car rental bill recently. "My previous rentals no get am," e talk.

I ask Hertz about the two new surcharges. Company spokeswoman Paula Rivera tell me say the cancellation fee, wey dem add for December, na only for prepaid reservations and e dey meant to "reimburse Hertz for the paperwork and billing involved with a prepaid reservation."

The fee also dey cover part of the company's cost to hold vehicles for prepaid reservations. The energy surcharge, wey dem add for October, dey bill all rentals for most states one extra $1 per day "to offset the increasing costs of utilities, bus fuel, oil and grease," she talk.
