On longer drops the car returns empty, so a one-way fare costs the same as a same-day return — you may as well keep the car for the day.
Fares are indicative, for the whole vehicle, and include fuel and driver. Tolls, parking, permits, local union taxis and night allowance on multi-day trips may be extra. The final fare depends on the vehicle, route, season and travel date and is confirmed when you book.
