Europcar – standard excess is now $3,850 and I think they have increased the excess reduction fees.

Many of the car hire companies also now levy a credit card surcharge:

Europcar – 1.65% for Mastercard, Visa & Amex (Higher for Diners)
Hertz – 0.8% for Mastercard, Visa & Amex (Not sure about Diners)
Thrifty – I think they also charge a fee, but I am unable to load their website at the moment

Additional Driver Fee – Hertz do not charge this fee to #1 Club Gold members (free to join in Australia)

Many of the companies also levy a Single Vehicle Accident excess in addition to the standard excess:

Hertz – $2,200
Thrifty – $2,200

This can be waived if you pay a higher excess reduction fee.

All excesses are 10-20% higher when car hired from an airport (amount is dependent on which airport).

Keep up the great work!
