Many states have laws that regulate how much a car dealer can charge for certain fees, like doc fees.

That's like the "resort fee" that many big hotels now charge. If you get a discounted stay in Vegas, the "resort fee" can be bigger than the room charge.

That’s how Florida avoids having a state income tax. Since tourism is a key economic driver they levy ‘tourist’ tax on hotels, car rentals, restaurants and retail shops in designated tourist zones, et al which takes the place of a state income tax. Your drive south of Orlando towards Disney, Universal or Sea World and one can tell where the ‘tourist’ zone begins. Also have the Tourist Development Tax on short term, 6 months or less, rentals like Airbnb, Vacation rentals, etc... Then each city may have their own taxes on tourism called Local Option Transient Rental Tax which can range from 0.0% to 5.0% on short term rentals.
