Mainly to verify the driver's license and credit card of the driver, in case of fraud. For those who have obtained an additional license, the requirements are not as strict, but they must also be reported and registered.

I rented a Mercedes-Benz E-Class for my trip. Before picking up the car, I didn't know if it was an E200 or E220, petrol or diesel. But I did my homework beforehand, and if it was an E220, then it would be the diesel version. It turned out to be an E200, and I was a bit disappointed, as the horsepower would be lower, but there was nothing I could do about it. I checked the car and found that the latch in the bottom of the trunk was broken, causing the luggage cover inside to not close properly. I told the staff at the pick-up location that this needed to be fixed, or else I would request a different car. They said that there was only this E200 available at the moment, and asked if I would accept a different model. I said that I was used to driving a Mercedes-Benz and didn't consider other options. They quickly brought over an E220d and asked if I wanted it. Do I even need to answer that ? Germany Q&A

I don't quite understand. I asked the customer service of Air China if this was a connecting flight. They replied that it was a shared flight and they couldn't be sure if the luggage would be delivered directly. I booked the ticket online by searching for "Beijing to Berlin" and this ticket came up. I only found out after placing the order that there was a two-hour layover ? Germany Q&A

Just asking, when entering a town, if the speed is displayed as exceeding the limit, will I be fined for taking pictures? The navigation hasn't displayed the speed limit yet, and there are no speed limit signs on the side of the road.

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 ?

Do I need to wash the car when returning it? Many people say no, but there are also car owners who have been charged cleaning fees and management fees, saying they were ripped off. I think it's up to your own judgment! If it's too dirty, washing it won't cost much. This is not a reason for certain car rental companies not to charge you ? 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
