How we sort results

We query QEEQ, DiscoverCars, CHECK24 and Sunny Cars at the same time. We combine the same model with the same transmission into one card; it lists all offers for it in ascending order of total price. We show identical offers (same portal, same rental company and broker, same price and same conditions) only once.

The default is “Recommended”: we order by the total price for the whole rental period and, for conditions that often become expensive at the counter, add fixed amounts: €50 for an excess of €1,000 or more, €30 for a full-to-empty fuel policy, €30 for a rental company rating below 7, €10 without a rating and €10 if cancellation costs something. The surcharges only count for the order; the real price is always displayed. Each card shows its offer with the lowest value calculated in this way; the cards are then listed in ascending order, and if the values are equal, the price decides. The amount of the commission plays no role in this.

Instead, you can order by total price (what counts is the offer on a card with the lowest total price), by the rental company’s rating (each card then shows its best-rated offer; if the ratings are equal, the price decides) or by space (seats, then large suitcases, then price). The filters only narrow the list down; they do not change the order.

• Which offers appear in a list depends on your search.
• Where the prices come from and when they were retrieved is stated on every list.
• How we select and order the offers on our theme and destination pages is explained under How we work.
