Methodology

How Deelautowijzer
calculates the numbers

Transparent, straightforward, and checked every month. Below you will find exactly which rates are used, how the site converts them into a price per trip and a price per month, what assumptions are built in, and where the sources come from.

1. Which rates are shown

This site only lists rates that are publicly published on the pricing pages of the providers themselves. The calculated price is always based on standard consumer subscriptions, without business packages or temporary discounts folded in. Current welcome offers (such as free driving credit or the first few months free) are shown too, but separately from the price and clearly marked as promotions, so the comparison stays fair.

2. The calculation formula

Every price on this site comes from two simple formulas. First, the cost per trip is calculated:

cost per trip = (hours × hourly rate) + (km × price per kilometre) + excess if applicable

For the monthly comparison, the site adds the fixed subscription costs:

cost per month = (trips × cost per trip) + subscription

The slider lets you set how often you drive per month. At 1 trip you see the cost of that single trip, including any subscription; from 2 trips onwards the monthly total, with the average price per trip alongside it (the monthly total divided by your number of trips). The subscription is therefore always built into the price shown, even for providers with a high subscription and a low per-trip rate.

For each option we show a fuel label (electric, petrol, hybrid or "partly electric"), determined per model. In a category search, "partly electric" appears when that price class contains both electric and fossil cars; the car you actually get then depends on availability.

Some providers charge an excess if you have not paid a deposit. This is included automatically once you uncheck the relevant option in the comparator. The deposit itself (a one-off amount, refunded when you cancel) is not included in the monthly cost, as it is not an expense.

4. What is not included

A few cost items are intentionally left out of the monthly price, either because they are occasional or not directly tied to the trip itself:

5. Updates and version control

1

Monthly check

All pricing pages are reviewed every month.

2

Immediate update on changes

A press release or news announcement from a provider prompts an interim update.

3

Date shown

The review month is shown in the meta strip at the top of Compare.

4

Transparently noted

Significant rate changes are reflected immediately in the prices and the review month.

6. Affiliate links and independence

If you click through to a provider via Deelautowijzer.nl and sign up there, the site may receive a small fee. This is not always the case and depends on the provider. For you there is no price difference.

The order of results is always sorted by price for your scenario, never by commission. You can check the sort order in the comparator's source code for yourself. There is no separate calculation rule per provider.

What if a provider refuses to pay for referrals?

That provider still appears on the site. Affiliate revenue is a consequence of comparison, not a condition for inclusion. Any provider that publicly lists rates and offers consumer subscriptions can be included.

How do I know the numbers are correct?

Open any subscription and click "Show calculation". The full breakdown is listed line by line. Compare the hourly and per-kilometre rates with the provider's own pricing page. If something does not add up, email .

7. Sources and references

Rates are taken directly from the pricing pages of greenwheels.com, lochemenergie.org/deelautos, mobigo.nu, mywheels.nl, sixt.nl/share and vloto.nl, verified monthly. The per-kilometre rate is all-inclusive (fuel or electricity included).

Note: SIXT share uses dynamic pricing that varies by time, location and demand. The amounts shown are therefore "from" prices; the actual price in the app can be higher.

8. Reporting corrections

Is a price wrong? Am I missing a provider? Do you have a better source for an assumption? Email . The more specific your report (URL, date, screenshot), the faster the correction.
