Yes, thank you Eileen and especially Larry for the explanations. I think I understand a little better myself now. We've rented from Eileen before (hola & see you pronto!) and were aware that any tax is included in her listed prices. And yes, there never seems to be any mention of the tax on the rental websites. I know this year, we got a big shock on the total rental cost, not knowing that the tax had risen from 5% (that we paid a year earlier) to 16%. In this case, it ended up being $520US extra for tax, so not chump change (big place for a big group of us). So, as Larry advises, you pretty much have to find out from the lister what the total price will be.
