Thanks! This one makes the most sense to me, though not a literal translation. I had also thought of "circulation fee", but every hit I found used this to refer to periodical subscriptions. And only two hits for the German word using www.alltheweb.com. Thanks for your suggestions.

"pay as you go"


Explanation:
sounds like a "pence per mile" or "daily rate" or similar deal.

the other options sound more like you decide to buy or rent the goods/service and so take on more of the risk of not using it (as well as the reward of using it lots!)
