Credit card surcharge not disclosed till final payment page

I’ve just booked some airport transfers using the https://www.con-x-ion.com/ site. I looked up the FAQs to find out payment methods and all credit cards were included. I was able to find the price for my booking before proceeding. All was fine until I entered my travel details and got through to the final page where I could pay for the purchase. It showed the total price including an additional $1.08 credit card surcharge.

I’m not complaining about the amount of the surcharge, only that it wasn’t mentioned anywhere on the site and there is no way to buy the transfers without paying the surcharge.

One solution would be that in their FAQs they amend their answer to show the percentage of the surcharge and that they have no other way to pay:

"What credit cards are accepted for payment purposes?

Visa, Mastercard, AMEX and Diners."

Not sure if this is something worth following up as the amounts involved are quite small.
