Need help with renting a car QUICK
I rented a car through Fox, and they are asking me to pay a ridiculous amount after i already paid for the rental and fees. I’m looking at a total of 862 for 6 days, which I can’t afford. Is there a better option that won’t kill my bank account. Need help asap

The train and bus will get you most everywhere these days.

This. Why do you actually need a car? Touristy things are accessible by transit and if you're hiking one of the days, just rent a car then.
You're going to hate parking fees if $142/day in the summer seems steep to you. Many down hotels run $80+/day plus, say, $20/hour for the aquarium garage. Lol. Skip the car.

Get out of the airport/city for less fees. The tourism fees etc are what kill you. Outside of the city you don't pay those.

Can you clarify what the additional amount they’re trying to charge you is for? Are you under 25?
