When driving on the expressway, there will be automatic ticket machines, one ticket per vehicle. Extended vehicles and large cars will be automatically recognized and charged. When exiting the expressway, there are generally 1 to 2 manual exits and 2 to 4 automatic exits. Some remote exits only have automatic exits, and if manual assistance is needed, press the button on the automatic machine. Manual exits can accept cash, traveler's checks issued by France, and bank cards (including foreign currency cards issued domestically). Automatic machines accept cash, traveler's checks issued by France, and bank cards only accept standard chip cards issued within the EU.

We arrived in Paris on the 13th and stayed for 6 days, then drove to Fontainebleau, Lyon, Nice, Monaco, Genoa, Florence, and arrived in Rome yesterday. We were on edge the whole way... First of all, the temperature here is not hot. The wind is quite cold. We have to wear down jackets and woolen hats to keep warm. It is not recommended to drive in the city of Paris. It is difficult to find parking spaces on the road surface. The entrances and exits of underground parking lots are too narrow and difficult to find. Navigation mainly relies on the map built into the Apple phone, which is actually a collaboration with Tom Tom and is very accurate. The maps we downloaded at home are not very reliable, including Google Maps. We were misled several times, even guided to a snow-covered mountain road at night. Maybe it's because we didn't enter the address accurately. Remember to enter the postal code of the region. Google Play needs to be installed to have offline maps, so you must have wireless WiFi. The high-speed rail here is very fast. France is 130 and Italy is 110. I think this is the lowest speed. There will always be cars following me to drive. After all, the car company gave me a top-of-the-line Mercedes-Benz E200 station wagon, black German license plate, which is too eye-catching. This caused me to park in the underground garage and dare not park on the road, for fear that my car windows would be broken and my bag would be stolen. All overtaking must be done from the left side, and then the left lane must be given up. It is forbidden to occupy the left lane for a long time. Right-hand overtaking is strictly prohibited, which is very dangerous! Highways need to prepare some 50, 20, 10, 5, 2, 1, and 0.5 euro banknotes and coins in advance. Do not enter the electronic payment channel by mistake. France and Italy have many dark tunnels that are relatively narrow. Overtaking and turning do not slow down. It feels like you're driving a race car, so small cars are popular here. Their control performance is good. Remember not to rent big cars! My Mercedes-Benz is too long, and the city control is really a bit difficult. Those streets, tunnels, and parking lot passages are really narrow! Bring fewer luggage when you go out ? France Q&A

May I ask if the 300 euros charged on the first day of picking up the car will be refunded? He said it will be refunded if nothing happens, but from your chat content, it feels like it's up in the air! Also, for another order, 90 euros of prepayment for fuel was charged first, and this was refunded, but 1200 euros were frozen, saying it will be refunded if there are no violations. It will take 30-60 days. Will this really be refunded ? France Q&A
