example: price of platin 65e. that means original price is 100. then the service fee is calculated on the 100 and not on the 65, therefore 19 (as it is 19% in Germany)
Sixt is receiving complaints everyday for that (even from me a couple of times), but they dont change this silly system.

Thanks. Very interesting! I'll check it out. For long-time-rentals, I may "change" the car at a city location (example: 14 days rent = 1 day airport rental car, 13 days city rental car)
