The rate is the price you pay to use a service.

For example: “The hotel rates surprised me: they are much more expensive compared to last summer,” “The telephone company increased the rate again,” “If we don't raise the rates, our club will have serious financial problems,” “ “Users took to the streets to express their rejection of the new rates.”
Utility Fee
The rate is also the price established by the rulers for public services . Said price can be paid by the user to the State or to a company that acts as a concessionaire , as the case may be.
When the service is provided by a concessionaire, the government is usually in charge of establishing a maximum price known as the legal rate: “The French company expressed its intention to negotiate with the Government an increase in the rate for residential users. ” .
