    If it's anything like the uk:

    Total Rental Charges - £200.00
    Fuel (Refundable Deposit) - £80.00
    Excess (Refundable Deposit) - £550.00
    Any other extras (child seat, tomtom etc) £0.00

    Total £830.00

    Best advice is to ring the renting branch directly, then you're not being hit with any suprises - i.e. Is Airport Surcharge included in rates? What happens if flight delayed (how long will the reservation be honoured?) etc...

    Hope this helps

    :)

    Excesses can vary depending on type of car, more expensive cars with higher excesses etc.
