After entering another country, it is best to buy at the convenience store at the gas station. They sell it by the number of days. Buy the appropriate number of days according to your itinerary, keep the receipt, and they have a system record. It is best to buy at the first gas station you see when you arrive in another country. It is recommended to ask the staff at the counter when picking up the car, ask in detail. I didn't stick anything and wasn't fined, maybe it was a random check. 😃😂

Hello fellow car owners, I wonder if any of you have encountered being charged by the car dealership? (Main reason: The other party was fully responsible for the accident, and they had full coverage insurance while we only had basic insurance. When we returned the car, the dealership said the other party would compensate us. Six months later, we received a notification saying that they were investigating whether there were any damages to the car that were not caused by a third party, and then they charged over 10,000 yuan to our credit card. How should we handle this?) ? Switzerland Q&A
