Is the car rental deposit a pre-authorization? Not a consumption? In other words, even if it is not returned for more than a month, it is not necessary to repay the card account, is it ?

Yes, pre-authorization, will not be included in next month's bill.

Dear friends, I would like to ask, when I picked up the car in Barcelona, the rental company charged me 59 euros and I'm not sure what it is for. I have purchased full insurance. Can you please tell me what the charge on the receipt is for? Is it for fuel? (Isn't fuel usually charged for a full tank and returned with a full tank?) ? Spain Q&A

The choice of this route was made under many premises. First, we took into account the weekends before and after, and on Saturday there was only a direct flight from Shanghai to Barcelona. We considered going from Macau to Barcelona, but the cost was much higher than going in and out at the same time, and we were a group of six people, which was a significant expense. Second, due to the large number of people, we were concerned about the uncertainty of the transfer, so we naturally chose a direct flight. Third, there were many places to play, and choosing to commute by train and plane would result in more time spent at the station and airport, while the cost of renting a car and returning it at a different location was higher than returning it at the same location, so in the end we chose the big closed loop route. Another key issue is that no matter where you enter or exit, the last place to leave is Barcelona. One reason is to put shopping in Barcelona, and the other is to put the most stunning Sagrada Familia as the last viewing point. Before determining the plan, we also thought about it, but 600 kilometers is not too far. Our flight arrives in Barcelona at 8 am on the sixth day, so it won't take us too long to get to Madrid. Two people drive, it's not too tired ? Spain Q&A

We rented a car in Spain and returned it a month ago. The car rental agency charged our credit card for the transfer management fee for traffic violations. When I asked the customer service, they said they would send us the traffic violation bill later, and we would have to pay the fine ourselves. The transfer management fee is only 40 euros or so. Is it that expensive? Has anyone else encountered this situation ? Spain Q&A

Hi, could you please help me with something? When I returned the car, I asked the rental company to handle the fine in Segovia. The counter staff said it was no problem and told me not to pay it.AVIS is not a company in Segovia, so it wouldn't affect anything and I should ignore the fine. I wanted to pay the fine, but I couldn't find the location. Could anyone who has related experience please help me ? Spain Q&A

I stayed for one night, drove into the parking lot, and the attendant appeared for the fee. When I picked up the car, the attendant was also there. My luggage is at that hotel, and it's hard to say if there's anyone watching overnight. The parking lot doesn't have a fence or a guard booth, but it still looks safe. After all, there are few outsiders in the small city, mostly tourists. If the luggage is left in the car overnight, don't open the trunk after parking, just cover it up so it's not visible from the outside ? Spain Q&A

Drive for 2 days in Spain. Total 4 days. My credit card has been charged by Avis car rental for several months after I returned the car. Each time it's basically more than 40 euros. Could I have broken the law so many times while driving for 2 days? I can't believe it. I have paid for 3 months in a row, each time more than 40 euros. I'm crying. I drove very steadily on the road, an old driver for many years, and it's impossible for me to break the law so many times. Moreover, I have not received any violation records through email or regular mail. What's going on? I need an explanation ? Spain Q&A

On the highway EP-2 from Barcelona to Zaragoza. Got punctured tyre at the rest stop and then continued on the highway. Someone in a yellow vest pretending to be a police officer helped us. Drove us to the side of the road and then robbed all our backpacks, big loss. Called the police, they said not to rest at that section's rest area, bad guys are watching. If you get a flat tyre, lock your car doors, call the police, wait for the rental car company to rescue you. This happened on January 29, 2020, hope more drivers see this and be careful to avoid it. If possible, don't drive. Flying is safer on that route ? Spain Q&A
