Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / Car Rental

Portuguese term or phrase: tarifa pública

I'm having a little trouble with this expression. Here is the context:
"de acordo com a tarifa pública em vigor e as condições particulares do contrato"

It's part of a car rental agreement, and is preceded by a list of items the renter has to pay for. My first thought was 'public price', but I'm not sure that really captures the meaning. Any help appreciated.
