Actual rental-car charges vary by company, location, vehicle, rental terms, taxes, optional products, and trip usage. Do not include refundable deposits or temporary card authorization holds as final spending.

The advertised daily rate is only part of the cost. Multiply that rate, daily insurance, and daily parking by rental days; then add whole-rental taxes and fees, fuel, tolls, and other non-refundable costs. Divide the estimated total by rental days to see the effective all-in cost per day.
Base rental = Daily rental rate × Rental days
Insurance = Insurance per day × Rental days
Parking = Parking per day × Rental days
Total rental cost = Base rental + Taxes & fees + Insurance + Fuel + Parking + Tolls + Other costs
Effective cost per day = Total rental cost ÷ Rental days
Extra-cost share = Extra costs ÷ Total rental cost × 100
Taxes & mandatory fees, fuel, tolls, and other costs are entered as whole-rental amounts. Insurance and parking are daily amounts. The calculator does not infer local taxes or rental-company fees automatically.
For a 5-day rental at $55.00 per day, with $72.00 in taxes and fees, $18.00 per day for insurance, $85.00 for fuel, $12.00 per day for parking, $25.00 in tolls, and $15.00 in other costs:
In this example, the advertised $55.00 daily base rate becomes an estimated $124.40 per day after the entered extras are included.
FigureNorth does not look up live rental-car prices, local tax rules, airport charges, vehicle-class pricing, mileage limits, one-way fees, young-driver fees, additional-driver fees, or fuel prices. If a non-refundable charge appears in your quote, include it once under Taxes & mandatory fees or Other non-refundable costs as appropriate. Refundable deposits and temporary card authorization holds should be excluded.

Multiply the daily rental rate by the number of rental days, then add whole-rental taxes and mandatory fees, daily insurance, fuel, daily parking, tolls, and any other non-refundable costs you expect to pay.
Enter the total taxes and mandatory fees shown for the whole rental quote. Do not multiply this amount by the number of days, and do not enter the same charge again under Other costs.
If these charges are known, enter mandatory quote fees, including airport facility or concession charges, in Taxes & mandatory fees. Put other known non-refundable charges in Other costs. Enter each charge only once; the calculator does not look up or calculate these fees for you.
Enter the optional insurance or protection cost per day. The calculator multiplies that amount by the rental days. If you are not buying additional coverage, leave the field blank or enter zero.
No. Enter your estimated fuel cost for the whole rental. This keeps the rental calculation independent of live fuel prices, mileage assumptions, and vehicle-specific fuel economy.
Parking is entered as an average daily amount and multiplied by the number of rental days. If parking varies by day, use a reasonable daily average for planning.
It is the estimated total rental cost divided by the number of rental days. It shows an all-in daily average after the extra costs you entered are included.
It is the share of the estimated total cost that comes from taxes, insurance, fuel, parking, tolls, and other costs rather than the base vehicle rental rate. It is not a tax rate or markup rate.
No. Refundable security deposits and temporary authorization holds are not expected final spending, so they should not be included in the estimated rental cost.
No. US mode displays USD and Canada mode displays CAD. Switching regions clears the current inputs and does not perform an exchange-rate conversion.
