Refueling service (NOT prepaid fuel)?
Has anybody used the Sixt Refueling Service, where they charge you a fee (around 18 euros on this booking I am doing) and refill the tank and charge you for the fuel? Does anybody know if they actually charge you the pump rate for the fuel with this service? And not the rate of some special pump they own that is 1.5x market price or something?

My French agreement says:
If you do not return the vehicle with a full tank, you will be charged 3,64 EUR per liter for diesel, 3,00 EUR per liter for petrol and a service fee of 14,99 EUR.
If you do not return the vehicle with the charge level indicated at the beginning of the rental (max. 80%), the kw/h will be charged at 0,35 EUR.
3 EUR is about double the local rate. Diesel isnt as popular in France as it used to be.

Im paying for all this myself, so I refuse their fueling services. I usually fill up in my local banlieu supermarket gas station and drive to the airport ~30km away to dropoff and havent had an issue.

So did you try the Refueling Service? If so, was the cost of your petrol similar to the current market price?
I'm considering this same service as I don't know the city I'm returning the car in and I don't want to miss a flight over car fueling.
