I rented from Sixt and was released after three days. Your pre-authorization of over 7000 euros is too much. I only had 150 euros.

What car should I rent for how many days? Why is there so much pre-authorisation?

I was charged 690€ but the payment was not successful and they charged me over 700 USD. After returning the car, I cancelled the pre-authorization for over 700 USD, but they still charged me 389 USD. There were many fees in the charge, which I had already paid. They charged my credit card again for the same amount. Sixt is really taking advantage and I haven't received any response or resolution yet.

At that time, it was agreed that if the car was returned more than 2 hours late, a fee of 45 euros would be charged. After returning the car, I was charged 386 euros the next day, and they said the fee was calculated based on the store price that day. I only spent more than 2000 euros in total for the four-day rental car. If you delay it for 3 hours a day, you will deduct more than 3000 euros from me? Robbery ? Austria Q&A

Please ask, is there any requirement for carrying cash when traveling abroad on a self-guided tour? I heard that the destination customs may randomly check the situation of carrying cash, and that adults carrying less than 1000 euros per person will be fined. Is there such a ridiculous thing ?

It's really annoying to return the car in Salzburg. On the afternoon we arrived, we happened to meet an Austrian holiday, and everyone was off work early. Then we tried all kinds of ways to return the car by ourselves. The next day, we received an email saying that the left rear hub was damaged, so we rushed to the return point. They said the car had already been rented out. Yesterday, we received an email saying that we had to pay 320 euros in compensation. It's really not worth it! Fortunately, the insurance can be compensated, so be sure to buy insurance, otherwise you don't know what will happen ? Austria Q&A

I would like to ask everyone, I rent a car in Austria and will leave for Prague tomorrow. When I am close to Prague, can I buy the highway ticket at the convenience store of the gas station and stick it on the upper right corner of the windshield? Then when I drive from Prague to Budapest, do I need to buy the highway ticket at the gas station close to Hungary? The staff at the rental center told me that Hungary does not give highway ticket stickers. So what are the documents given? Do I need to carry them while driving? Thank you ? Austria Q&A

Hello everyone, I have a question. We picked up the car in Vienna and drove to Brno, Czech Republic. The GPS told us to take a highway, but in fact, that highway had not yet been opened. We didn't know that and kept driving on it. Then someone stopped us. We thought they were bad guys and didn't stop. But later they caught up with us and stopped us again, educating us not to drive too fast. They even took photos. Will we be fined for this ? Austria Q&A

Dear fellow car enthusiasts, I would like to ask for your advice. I have a 2-day trip to Switzerland and a 2-day trip to Austria. How should I purchase the highway tolls? Is it per day or per road? Should I buy them at the gas station convenience store before or after entry? What does the ticket look like? What if I need to enter and exit repeatedly? In addition, the rental car order does not have an additional driver. Is the insurance car, person, and trip-related? Do I need to buy insurance again when I pick up the car? Thank you in advance for the enlightenment of the senior ? Austria Q&A
