The ' art of pricing


In order to display very competitive prices, some trusted rental agencies have more than one truck in their bags which allow them to announce to the customer a price much higher than that initially announced.
One of the most common techniques is gasoline. Generally, when you rent a car in Western countries, it is made available to you with a full tank of gas, and you will - in turn - have to return the vehicle to the agency with the tank full. But if you were not able to go to a petrol station on the way back (which is often the case when renting a car in the center of a big city), you will have to pay for it. And this obviously represents an enormous extra cost fixed according to the good faith of the head of the agency.
However, in the countries of the East, the opposite approach is used. The vehicle is provided with a quantity of gasoline that will only allow you to go to the next gas station. Then you will have to return the vehicle with an empty tank. It is naturally difficult to predict exactly how many liters of gasoline you will need to get to the rental agency. You will certainly offer a few liters of fuel to the rental agency, which is quite unpleasant in itself.
