Are one-way rental car fees always charged?

Almost always for pickup and drop-off at different cities, though the exact amount varies by provider and route.

Why do some one-way routes cost more than others?

Rental companies charge more to rebalance their fleet on less common routes where vehicles don't naturally return.

Can a one-way fee be waived?

Occasionally, during provider promotions aimed at rebalancing their fleet on specific routes — worth checking before booking.

Is a one-way rental still cheaper than round-trip options for a road trip?

It can be, once you factor in the time saved from not doubling back — compare the total against your alternative plan.
