• Shipping and handling charges: When purchasing goods online or having them delivered, these costs can be substantial.
• Service charges: Restaurants, hotels, and other service-oriented businesses may add service charges to the bill.
• Processing fees: These may be applied for credit card transactions, online payments, or other administrative processes.
• Late payment penalties: Failing to pay bills or invoices on time can result in late fees.
• Insurance costs: Many services such as car rentals come with insurance which increases the total price.

It is important to read the terms and conditions carefully to fully understand all associated ancillary expenses.
