I will start renting a car from Munich and return it in Amsterdam. After returning the car, I will stay in Amsterdam for 3 days before coming back. Now I am hesitating about where to return the car in Amsterdam. Is it convenient to return the car at the central train station? Is the road condition very complicated? Or should I just go to the airport to return the car and stay near the airport? Please give me some advice ?

Are you prepared for the extremely high cost of returning the car in a different city? Parking in Amsterdam's city center is extremely expensive. It is recommended that you stay in the southern part of the city, where there are areas similar to development zones, with cheaper hotels and free parking. You can drive in during the day, and the distance is only about 10 kilometers, which is relatively reasonable.

If you only play in Amsterdam city for three days, you can choose to return the car to the store near the city hotel, put down the luggage and return it, and take the train to the airport on the last day, because parking in the city is still quite troublesome. If you also want to go to the suburbs, return the car to the airport on the last day, which is more convenient.

I also returned the car in a different location, in Amsterdam. You mentioned that it's expensive, so I'm wondering if there will be additional fees for returning the car, or if it's already included in the rental fee? I regret returning the car in a different location as well. I returned the car at the airport, and I'm staying at a guesthouse with parking, then taking public transportation to the city for sightseeing. I also found a free parking spot in Zaanse Schans.

Maybe it's more convenient at the airport.

Then they gave me a piece of paper and a parking card, and I went to get the car myself. No one was in charge. When I got there, I found scratches on the back of the car. After taking a picture, I caught a passing staff member and told him about the situation. He then took a picture and registered it on his phone, and asked me to sign. I wonder how it will be when I return the car? Overall, the process of getting the car is not complicated, but the experience is not good ? Germany Q&A

Help, on June 22nd, I was driving in Germany from Berlin to Munich and the King's Lake. When I rented the car, there was a pre-authorization of 124 euros. After returning to my country, I checked at the end of July and found that it had been unfrozen, so I thought everything was fine. However, on August 6th, the bank called me and informed me that there was a pre-sale right of around 29 points, which they said was the handling fee of the car rental company. It should be due to a traffic violation, and the German police will send a notice of violation to the address I provided in my country. I don't know how to pay the fine. Also, the address I provided is my driver's license address, which has been demolished, so I won't be able to receive any notification. How can I pay the fine, and what are the consequences if I don't pay it ? Germany Q&A

Got a not-a-question question: how to drive and park properly in Würzburg? I'm driving from Nuremberg to Würzburg in the morning and will only stay there until later in the afternoon, without accommodation. Because the main route in Würzburg is one, either from Marienberg Castle to the Bishop's Residenz or vice versa. How far can this road go straight? How long does it take to walk? Where is it suitable to park the car? In short, I don't want to drive both ends, nor do I want to backtrack.. ? Germany Q&A

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. Recently, an email was received, which seems to be a charge of 24 euros from the car rental company. Is this the so-called penalty management service fee?

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 ?
