Parking fee standard: The parking fee in Switzerland is about 3.5 Swiss francs per hour, and it is all self-service payment: 1. Generally, indoor parking lots with roofs require taking a card upon entry and paying with a credit card upon exit. 2. Most outdoor parking lots use parking meters for payment. After inserting coins, a time-limited parking ticket will be printed and placed on the front windshield for inspection. If you exceed the time limit and do not return, you may be fined by the police. Parking precautions: 1. Parking in white-lined spaces is free, while parking in blue-lined spaces is free within a specified time limit. All others are charged. 2. When parking in a blue-lined space, please record the start time using a parking disc and place it on the front windshield for inspection. Please leave within the specified time limit, as parking overtime will result in a fine of about 40 Swiss francs. 3. Parking in non-legal spaces will result in a fine of about 120 Swiss francs. 4. The parking spaces in underground parking lots are small and mostly slanted. It is recommended not to reverse into the space, but rather to drive in like the locals. 5. If you do not know how to pay at the parking lot exit, you can press the call button on the payment machine to request manual assistance.

Hello fellow car owners, I wonder if any of you have encountered being charged by the car dealership? (Main reason: The other party was fully responsible for the accident, and they had full coverage insurance while we only had basic insurance. When we returned the car, the dealership said the other party would compensate us. Six months later, we received a notification saying that they were investigating whether there were any damages to the car that were not caused by a third party, and then they charged over 10,000 yuan to our credit card. How should we handle this?) ? Switzerland Q&A
