The Airport Fee You Forgot to Charge
Friday, 6:40 pm, airport branch. A customer returns a car after a week, your colleague rushes the invoice β and the airport fee is missing. Nobody notices. Until accounting does, at month-end.
Where Taxes and Fees Leak Money
Fees are small amounts. That is exactly why they get forgotten.
- Airport surcharges get charged one day and skipped the next β depending on who is on shift.
- Environmental fees sit in the price list, but not in the new seasonal hire's head.
- VAT rates differ once you have branches or customers in more than one country.
- Corrected invoices and credit notes cost time and look unprofessional to customers.
One forgotten fee doesn't hurt. Dozens per season do.
How Camasys Handles It
Camasys has a Taxes & Fees feature: you configure VAT/sales tax, environmental and airport fees once, and the system applies them from then on. Rules, not memory.
What comes with it:
- Auto-generated invoices, including partial payments and refunds.
- Localised formats, taxes and legal text per country β ideal for branches abroad.
- Customers, invoices, taxes and payments synced with your accounting tools β no re-typing.
What the Customer Sees
A clear, consistent price. With fees set in the system, there is nothing to "add on" at the counter.
Transparency cuts disputes. And a customer who doesn't feel tricked comes back.
Why Owners Should Care
- Less revenue leakage β every fee that belongs on the invoice is on it.
- Faster month-end close β accounting stops hunting errors branch by branch.
- Same rules everywhere β airport, city and partner branches invoice the same way.
How to Start Without Chaos
- List every tax and fee you charge today β including the ones that sometimes slip.
- Assign them to branches and rental types.
- Set them up in the system and check your first month-end close.
Conclusion
Taxes and fees are nobody's favourite topic. But it's money that belongs to you.
