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

Then they gave me a piece of paper and a parking card, and I went to get the car myself. No one was in charge. When I got there, I found scratches on the back of the car. After taking a picture, I caught a passing staff member and told him about the situation. He then took a picture and registered it on his phone, and asked me to sign. I wonder how it will be when I return the car? Overall, the process of getting the car is not complicated, but the experience is not good ? 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

Not only do they say you don't need to buy a high-speed ticket, but they've been running around for days and haven't been caught. People always say things like, "Oh, it's no problem to drive all the way with a little white book." I don't know where they get their mysterious confidence and logic from, it's really funny and annoying. This is definitely not a responsible attitude towards travel. It's like saying, "You didn't get caught driving after drinking, so you can always drive after drinking in the future?" ? 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 ?
