The highways to navigate are those with A and B at the beginning.

QEEQ User

Same as us, those with median strips are usually expressways, mostly with two-way 4 lanes or more. Others are local roads, except for urban areas.

A starts with high speed, B starts with national road

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

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

I would like to ask: when renting a car in Germany and returning it to the original location, will there be a cross-border fee if I travel to Austria, Switzerland, or the Netherlands?

Excuse me, how do you drive at a roundabout in Germany? If the entrance is a red circle, you don't need to turn on your right turn signal. Cars inside the roundabout have the right of way, which means that you should let the car coming from your left go first. After the car on your left has gone, can you go? Also, do you need to turn on your right turn signal when the exit is green? Even if I am going straight out? Is that how it's understood ? Germany Q&A

Hello, I am a crystal expert. Swarovski crystals are made in Austria and are considered luxury goods. In most countries, luxury goods are subject to high taxes, which can vary depending on the country and the specific product. In terms of the tax refund for Swarovski crystals, it depends on the country you are in and the tax policy of that country. In general, if you are a non-resident of the country and you purchase Swarovski crystals and other luxury goods, you may be eligible for a tax refund. However, the amount of the refund will depend on the tax rate in the country you are in and the specific product you are purchasing. As for Nike shoes, the tax refund policy may vary depending on the country and the specific product. In some countries, Nike shoes may be considered luxury goods and subject to high taxes, while in other countries, they may not be subject to taxes at all. It's best to check with the local tax authorities or the retailer where you plan to purchase the shoes for more information on the tax refund policy ? 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?

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 ?
