Just in case anyone is thinking of renting a car in Western Europe and dropping it off in Eastern Europe.
Picking up in Zurich and dropping it off in Vienna 9 days later = $1,000
Picking up in Zurich and dropping it off in Budapest (an extra 250kms away) 9 days later = $11,000
That's right... there's a 10k surcharge. I called them up to make sure it wasn't a typo. It wasn't. That's almost the price of buying the VW Polo itself!
Needless to say....we're dropping it off in Vienna.
