Before going abroad, be sure to prepare the notarized documents for the driver's license, otherwise you won't be able to rent a car.

I rented a Hertz car at Hamburg Airport in Germany. When I arrived at the counter, I just told them my order number and provided my passport and driver's license. I brought translation documents and notarized documents, but the staff at the car rental company did not ask to see them.

I suggest you contact a sworn translator with qualifications from a German court to certify the translation of your driver's license. Mr. Shi's translation agency in Munich can provide professional driver's license certification translation services. www.shi-china.de. The German embassy website also has specific instructions for using driver's licenses. https://china.diplo.de. It is most time and cost efficient to directly contact a sworn translator in Germany for this service.

In Germany, there is a fine of 30 euros for illegal parking, which was paid by transferring the money to a local Chinese person. After returning the car, a notification was received that the full deposit of 1000 euros would be refunded within an hour.

Violations generally do not receive information so quickly, unless they are fines issued on the spot. The pre-authorized deduction should be part of the fees charged by the car rental company other than the car rental. Please carefully check the bill to see if there are any fees that you did not notice. The car rental company will not help you handle violations, so they will not pre-authorize fees to handle them ?
