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

Renting a car in Europe is completely unnecessary to purchase full insurance. If you choose to purchase additional "full insurance" on your own, it is your right to do so, and there is no issue of acceptance or non-acceptance on the part of the car rental company. This is a false dilemma. Additional insurance is an important source of income for car rental companies, and it is much more expensive than other methods, including purchasing insurance in Europe itself ? Germany Q&A

That's enough with the RentCarGo international driving license certification! There's no need to go through the hassle of getting a consulate translation. It's not just about the money, it's about not having the time or energy to do it. RentCarGo says it's okay, and the rental car company says it's okay, so what's the big deal? I've rented cars in Europe many times and have never had a problem with the police checking my license. So I'm not going to waste my time doing this. If there is a problem, I'll definitely hold RentCarGo accountable. Can they handle it ? Germany Q&A

Whether to fill up the gas tank when returning the car depends on the terms and conditions. Eroucar's new service does not require customers to deliberately refuel, as they will refuel without charging a processing fee and deduct the cost from the prepaid amount. I returned the car with a full tank, and the staff inspected the car on the spot and confirmed the signature on the mobile app. About a week later, I received a refund of 300 euros from the prepaid amount. On the other hand, another car rental company, Hertz, charges a pre-authorization of 75 euros and deducts the cost if the gas tank is not full, so the staff advised us to use up the gas as much as possible. Of course, we returned the car with a full tank, but the prepaid amount has not been refunded yet ? 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? How can this be transferred in China, and what are the consequences if it is not paid? Does anyone know ? Germany Q&A

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 ?
