My personal suggestion is to get full insurance. Even if you're a good driver, you can't completely avoid getting dented when parking.

：Suggestion: buy it, otherwise you might regret it if there's an accident, get the one with 0 deductible.

Need. Absolutely need to have an insurance awareness. Buying insurance is to avoid large losses.

I personally think that most European countries, especially France, require car insurance. I saw a French grandmother leaving a half-hand-sized scratch on the car while parking, and it probably costs over 100 euros to fix it. It would be better in places like Northern Europe.

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

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 ?

Driving in Germany by car in July. This week, I received a notice of violation from Europcar, saying that there was a violation in Stuttgart and 30 euros would be deducted from my credit card.

Some people are willing to save tens of yuan a day, carefully checking scratches when picking up and returning the car, and paying first and then claiming compensation when an accident occurs. Some people are willing to spend money to save trouble, leaving the keys and walking away after returning the car. It's just a matter of personal habit ? Germany Q&A
