When you book a rental car, don't just compare companies. Look at the total rate, including all taxes and fees.
If a company isn't up front about total prices, go elsewhere. For instance, Budget and Avis show the car's base rental price on the first page of their Web sites, but you have to select the car to find out the true price that includes taxes. It's deceptive.
Use coupons if you have them. Know in advance total cost of perks like GPS or satellite radio.
You might not be able to do anything about car rental price hikes this year, but you should still cut the best deal.
