Sorry chaps, this is bullshit.
Rush fees means that you need to reject/delay another job and THAT is the cost is you pass on to the client.
Let's say on a normal week you take 4-5 projects, and if you take the rush job you will have to ask 2 of your regular clients to hold on for that week, or hire a freelancer to get it done in time.
Factor in the cost it will have for you and the impact it will have in your other clients. And mind you, by experience I'd say 'rush jobs' usually take quite long. If a job need being done in a rush means that you client already has no clue of how to plan things up.
... all that said, if it's just you and you have no other jobs to finish, don't even ask. Think how much is worth to you skipping a beer with your mates or an occasional shag, if that can be measured in monetary value.
