I honestly dont see why you are surprised.
It is no secret that in US the taxes / airport fees / local fees etc etc would often account for 30 to 60% of the rental rate itself. Pretty sure this is similar pattern in EU. There are a few countries in EU such as Croatia. the one-way drop off fee is relatively reasonable, but not Germany though.
Given it is only a 24 hours rental it is only one single day, the one-way drop off fee could very well be out of proportion higher as usually the one-way fee is a FIXED fee. It would be significantly lower in proportion when the rental is 2 weeks, versus just 24 hours.
With the add-on option and one-way drop off you have, and you are surprised?
