There are no principle border crossing fees in the Schengen Area. Vehicles and people are free to travel within the Schengen Area without border checks and charges. But for some vehicle travels between Schengen countries and EU countries, the fees charged by car rental companies are mainly related to vehicle insurance, as insurance policies may be different between different countries. But there should be no "border crossing fee" between Switzerland and Germany. However, the specific situation should still be consulted with the car rental company.

There are two types of fees: the first is for crossing the border into Switzerland by car. Some car rental companies charge a border crossing fee. How much is it? It varies from company to company, so be sure to tell the car rental company that you will be crossing the border. The second is for using Swiss highways with a German car. You must pay a toll for using the highways, which is a yearly pass and costs 40 Swiss francs.

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 ?
