How to use it

  1. Enter rental days, daily rate, daily insurance, expected kilometers, free km per day (0 = unlimited) and price per extra km.
  2. The result appears straight away and updates as you edit.

How it is calculated

Base = days × (daily rate + daily insurance). Extra km = driven − (daily allowance × days). Total = (base + extra km × rate + fees) × (1 + tax % ÷ 100).

Example

Inputs: Rental days = 5 days, Daily rate = 150, Daily insurance = 30, Expected kilometers = 800 km, Free km per day (0 = unlimited) = 250 km. Result: Expected total: 1,035.00; Extra kilometers: 0 km; Extra km cost: 0.00.

Limits and caveats

  • Fuel, fines and the card deposit are not included.
  • Some companies set the free km for the whole rental rather than per day.
