If you have full coverage insurance, just ignore him. When returning the car, let him deduct as much as he wants, and then get the receipt back to file a claim.

Remember to call the police to get a ticket, and also notify the car rental company. You can directly contact the rental company to communicate. The car rental company and insurance company will handle the rest. If the car can be driven, continue to play, and don't worry about getting into another accident.

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 ?
