If you have the technical skills, manual is great, the rent is cheap, the upgrade space for the model is large, it saves gas, otherwise, automatic is better.

Whether you have the foundation of going abroad Road trip and manual transmission? If it's the first time going abroad Road trip, don't drive manual transmission.

Manual transmission is easy to drive. I used to drive in the UK. However, the roads in Germany are under construction in the summer. This time, the note only requires an automatic transmission. There were a few traffic jams from Heidelberg to Cologne, and an automatic transmission is more convenient.

If you can drive, there's no problem at all. It's also good to have manual, and it's cheaper.

I'm not used to the frequent changes of speed limit signs in Germany. After driving at 120km/h for a while, suddenly there's a sign indicating 80km/h. It's uncomfortable to brake hard, and the car behind me must have cursed me to death. So I had to slow down gradually afterwards, but in fact I had already entered the speed limit for some time. I'm not sure what the design of this kind of speed limit is for in Germany ? Germany Q&A

I am driving in Germany and Austria. The traffic regulations require children to sit in safety seats, but I have two children in the back seat and also need to accommodate an adult. If I put two safety seats, I'm worried there won't be enough space in the back. I rented a BMW 5 touring car. Are the electronic eyes in Europe very strict? I want to remove the safety seats on the highway, but I don't know if it's allowed ? 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

Hello, I rented a car in Germany to Austria and the Czech Republic, and then back to Germany. Caro company told me that I needed to buy a pass to go to the Czech Republic and Austria. On my way to Austria and the Czech Republic, I did not buy a highway ticket (I asked at the gas station on the way to the Czech Republic if they sold passes, and they said no). Now I am already in the Czech Republic. Do I need to buy one on the way back to Germany ? 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 ?
