Yeah, I was driving with my heart in my throat, afraid of holding up the cars behind me, and not daring to insert myself between two big cars. It was really not easy. Also, may I ask you: in the city, the speed limit is 30, and there are no cars in front of me. I'm also not daring to exceed the speed limit, driving like a plodding ox, pressing on the cars behind me. I always feel guilty about 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. I leave for Berlin on July 15 and pick up the car in Munich on the 17th. I will take two boys with me. Do you have any friends who are traveling together by chance ? Germany Q&A

Using the international driver's license certification from Rent a Car is enough! There's no need to go through the hassle of getting a translation from the consulate. It's not just a matter of money; it's about not having that much time in the U.S., and moreover, it's unnecessary. Rent a Car says it's okay, and the rental company says it's okay, so what is there to worry about? I've rented cars in Europe multiple times and have encountered police checking licenses without any issues. Therefore, I won't waste my time on this; if there really is a problem, everyone will definitely hold Rent a Car accountable, can they afford that ? Germany Q&A

Excuse me, how do you drive at a roundabout in Germany? If the entrance is a red circle, you don't need to turn on your right turn signal. Cars inside the roundabout have the right of way, which means that you should let the car coming from your left go first. After the car on your left has gone, can you go? Also, do you need to turn on your right turn signal when the exit is green? Even if I am going straight out? Is that how it's understood ? Germany Q&A

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

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 ?
