Often the blame rests squarely with the local weasel politicians who add
extra little "hidden" taxes on everything thinking everyone is stupid
and just won't notice. One of the favorites for that is airports and car
rentals. If you were a merchant that had say two locations (one airport,
one off airport) and you were hit with additional "hidden" taxes and
fees at the airport location would you charge more at that location?
