It's safe to park in gas stations in Spain, even in areas with cameras. Bad kids do bad things in areas without cameras. Spain, France, and Italy are not safe. Portugal is a little better, but you should still be careful.

When driving in Spain, be sure to pay attention to street parking. After parking on the street, be sure to ask the locals if it is free. If it is paid, it is best to find a self-service parking machine, put the money in and print out the ticket to place on the windshield of the car. Otherwise, there is a 60 euro fine.

We rented a car in Spain and returned it a month ago. The car rental agency charged our credit card for the transfer management fee for traffic violations. When I asked the customer service, they said they would send us the traffic violation bill later, and we would have to pay the fine ourselves. The transfer management fee is only 40 euros or so. Is it that expensive? Has anyone else encountered this situation ? Spain Q&A

I wonder if everyone has encountered this situation. We rented a car in Madrid yesterday and the staff asked us to buy scratch insurance, saying that if there is a problem, we have to pay 1650 euros. When renting a car, the app mentioned not to easily buy the packages they recommend, so we refused to buy. But this morning, we found that the car was scratched terribly. ? Spain Q&A

Hi, could you please help me with something? When I returned the car, I asked the rental company to handle the fine in Segovia. The counter staff said it was no problem and told me not to pay it.AVIS is not a company in Segovia, so it wouldn't affect anything and I should ignore the fine. I wanted to pay the fine, but I couldn't find the location. Could anyone who has related experience please help me ? Spain Q&A

Buy a card locally, Google Maps is much more convenient. It's not very accurate, and there are many gaps in the road when walking on the Spanish road. It's not an easy walk. The navigation must be powerful. It's best to find a partner to help look at how to go, especially at night when driving on the highway. Pay attention to the speed limit signs. When there is a speed limit, you must slow down. There are no streetlights on the road ? Spain Q&A

Drive for 2 days in Spain. Total 4 days. My credit card has been charged by Avis car rental for several months after I returned the car. Each time it's basically more than 40 euros. Could I have broken the law so many times while driving for 2 days? I can't believe it. I have paid for 3 months in a row, each time more than 40 euros. I'm crying. I drove very steadily on the road, an old driver for many years, and it's impossible for me to break the law so many times. Moreover, I have not received any violation records through email or regular mail. What's going on? I need an explanation ? Spain Q&A
