What are Daily Fees in GTA Online?

Daily Maintenance Fees are charges that are deducted automatically in GTA Online each in-game day, for services provided by the properties a player owns. Every garage you own (even if it’s empty) can be serviced by the Mechanic that will bring vehicles to you and repair them for free once you store them or call for a delivery.

Each property you own has fees based on its service and/or its staff. Those fees vary based on upgrades or options. Owning a significant number of properties, especially MC Businesses, can accrue a hefty sum.

Some fees are charged no matter what you’re doing. Some, such as the one for the Bunker and MC Businesses, are only charged if you are registered as a CEO or MC President.

When are Daily Fees charged?

The GTA Online fees are charged every 48 minutes (one in-game day) that you are in the same lobby.

Fees that are exclusive to being a CEO or MC President won’t be charged if you aren’t registered as either a CEO or MC President - but will be charged immediately if you register as one if you have been in the same lobby for 48 minutes or longer.

All of the fees are listed as "Spent on property and utilities" in the Maze Bank transaction log.
The daily fees notifications are now grouped in 3 categories: Properties, Businesses and Mechanic.

The total amount of daily fees charged every in-game day in GTA Online used to reach over $50,000, but now after The Contract Update, it can reach about $25,000.

How to avoid Daily Fees in GTA Online?

The simplest method, even if inconvenient, is to change lobbies before 48 minutes have elapsed. If you enter a new lobby, that unseen timer is reset.

If you don’t want to change lobbies, you can unregister as a CEO or MC President and at least not be charged those specific fees - but you will still pay the regular ones every 48 minutes.

Another method is to be in a mission, race, or other non-freeroam activity, as the timer does not apply there.

Avoiding Daily Fees while AFK

If you use methods to be in the game, but inactive, in order to let passive-income businesses accrue value, there are some methods (using security monitors) that keep you in the lobby that are still subject to fees.

For short-terms, or if the fees you are subject to are small or relatively insignificant, this is fine and more convenient. But for longer periods of time the accrued fees can exceed the value your businesses are earning.

Instead, using the Security Cameras inside your Bunker or other business can let you stay AFK as long as you want, while not paying any fees during that time; with a bonus of the mission’s reward money upon completion at the end.
