Tow and jump-start plans you may already have through insurance, a card, or your car.

Car radio plans with trial rollovers, rising rates, and hard-to-reach cancel steps.

Extras like etching, coatings and service contracts can add a lot to a car's price.

App 'convenience' fees, fake QR codes and surprise charges on parking lots.

Rising renewals, add-ons and claims history that affect what you pay to drive
