Car hire fee

Nope. Barclaycard doesn't make a separate charge for spending. Just a forex charge of 2.99%

I think more likely that the company made a test transaction and that amount should be refunded.

If Barclaycard don't change a fixed fee then how would a test
transaction incur the same fee as the fuel payment?

(not to mention - what are the chances of the 2.99% fee for the fuel payment coming out at *exactly* £1.50)

Also, the deposit is an authorisation, not a charge

Unless it was selling the OP insurance and not securing the deposit.

That is probably because even though the fee is % percentage based, there may be a minimum amount. For example, if the fee is 2.99% but minimum of £1.5, then transactions below £50.17 will all incur a charge of £1.5 exactly. I know Lloyds do something like that. I am not sure about Barclays.
