If you rent a car in France, you need to tell the car rental company that you will cross the border into Germany. The car rental company may charge a border crossing fee. The regulations of different car rental companies are different. France and Germany are both EU countries and can enter and exit freely.

When driving abroad, it is essential to fully understand the traffic rules of the destination country. If you are fined, you should inquire about which laws and regulations you have violated, learn from the experience to avoid repeating the offense in the future. If you do not reflect on your own violations and instead confront the situation with 'why am I being fined and not others, I must be treated unfairly,' then you will continue to make the same mistakes. Your mindset will be distorted, and what should have been a pleasant Road trip will turn into a tragedy ? Germany Q&A

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

Thanks, but 1000 km is still cross-border, I can only think about it. I'd better drive from Munich to Cologne, turn around and run a part of the Black Forest trip.

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 ?
