Hi Sokamo,

you have no idea what they are charging me. It's more like a joke!

I've rented a car in Frankfurt and at the day of returning (13.12.2014), I found a small damage on the bumper. When returning I asked (informally) the guy who receive the car, how much he imagine it would cost. The guy said it was a very small damage, no more than 30-50 EUR.

So, after more than 2 months I received the e-mail about the cost. Look what they want to charge:

Costs as per pro-forma 1.141,63 EUR
Admin Fee 50,00 EUR
Engineer Fee 25,00 EUR
Sum 1.216,63 EUR

Together with the document with these charges they sent a bill of the actual repair costs, look how much it was:

Honorar EUR 25,00
19 % MwSt. EUR 4,75
Rechnungsbetrag inkl. MwSt. EUR 29,75

They want to charge almost 4100% more than the actual repair cost!!!

It's outrageous, I feel ofended to receive something like this.

Hopefully they will revise my case.
