Yes, the card issuer will only send a message when the actual deduction is made.

No invoice for authorization, no deduction for authorization, deduction is given only when actual deduction occurs

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

The woman at the counter when I picked up the car this morning first asked about insurance. I said I had already bought it, and it was bought at SIXT, with a deductible of 0 euros. Then she printed out a slip and asked me to swipe my card. In total, it was 650 euros. I said the full amount was prepaid when I booked the car, so why did it cost so much? But she didn't say anything and kept urging me to sign. I wonder if I've been trapped ? 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 ?
