How we sort results

Last updated: 21 October 2026

This translation is provided for convenience; the German version is legally binding.

You should be able to find the offer that suits you without a long search. That is why we order every results list according to fixed rules. Which rules these are — and where we only show offers from our partners — is set out here.

1. Car hire

We query QEEQ, DiscoverCars, CHECK24 and Sunny Cars at the same time. We combine the same model with the same transmission into one card; it lists all offers for it in ascending order of total price. We show identical offers (same portal, same rental company and broker, same price and same conditions) only once.

The default is “Recommended”: we order by the total price for the whole rental period and, for conditions that often become expensive at the counter, add fixed amounts: €50 for an excess of €1,000 or more, €30 for a full-to-empty fuel policy, €30 for a rental company rating below 7, €10 without a rating and €10 if cancellation costs something. The surcharges only count for the order; the real price is always displayed. Each card shows its offer with the lowest value calculated in this way; the cards are then listed in ascending order, and if the values are equal, the price decides. The amount of the commission plays no role in this.

Instead, you can order by total price (what counts is the offer on a card with the lowest total price), by the rental company’s rating (each card then shows its best-rated offer; if the ratings are equal, the price decides) or by space (seats, then large suitcases, then price). The filters only narrow the list down; they do not change the order.

Here the “No credit card” filter is preselected: the list then shows only offers where, according to the provider, a debit card is enough for the deposit or no card is needed for the deposit. For this we use the information from DiscoverCars and Sunny Cars, and that from QEEQ only if DiscoverCars or Sunny Cars confirm it for the same rental company at the same location; if in doubt, an offer is left out. You can switch the filter off in the list; then you see all offers, including those from CHECK24.

2. What applies to all lists

  • Which offers appear in a list depends on your search — here also on the preselected “No credit card” filter (see 1).
  • Where the prices come from and when they were retrieved is stated on every list.
  • How we select and order the offers on our theme and destination pages is explained under How we work.
