Hidden fees to check before signing a contract

A deal can look cheap on the headline price and become expensive after setup fees, cancellation charges, renewal prices, penalties or extras.

Look for these fees

  • Setup or joining fee.
  • Delivery, installation or activation fee.
  • Minimum term or early cancellation charge.
  • Automatic renewal price increase.
  • Late payment charges.
  • Admin fees.
  • Required add-ons or insurance.
  • Price changes after an introductory period.

Ask before agreeing

  • What is the total cost over the full contract?
  • How do I cancel?
  • Can the price rise during the term?
  • What fees are not included in the headline price?
