I have a question. When we picked up the car, we charged more than 50. I didn't understand what this money was for. Was it a deposit for the last box of oil, or did it mean that we didn't have to return the full amount we borrowed? Have any of you encountered this situation ?

Refuel the car when returning it, and let him refund

User avatar

When returning the car, there are three options. One is to return it according to the original fuel level, usually full to full, and it doesn't matter whether to show the refueling receipt; the second is to return the car with less fuel, and the rental company will send someone to refuel, so the charge is about three times more expensive, about 3 euros per liter; The third option provided by the car rental company is to charge 1 euro per liter for a full box of fuel, which is about 50 euros as you said. It depends on whether you feel rushed for time when returning the car. If you have time to refuel, don't choose the third option, but if you choose the third option, it seems that there is no refund. I have experienced both the first and second options, so this time I thought I was in a hurry and might not have time to refuel at the airport when I come back, so I chose the third option directly, returning the car with half a tank of fuel, and I don't know if I will get a refund.

We are like you in Munich. Forgot to fill up the car when returning it. After telling the waiter, she said it was okay, there was money in your deposit.

Rented a car from Herz at Munich airport. When picking up the car, there was a fuel assistance fee of 102 euros, and a total of 300 euros were paid. (29 yuan for border crossing fee, 110 yuan for upgrade fee, and the rest is the 102 euro fuel assistance fee and tax.) The note at the end is accept, which means I have accepted it. When picking up the car, I had objections to this fee. The staff told me that this is a deposit nature, and it will be refunded if the car is clean and full of oil. But I wonder if this fee can be refunded when the car is full of oil and returned tomorrow. It feels like a trap ? Germany Q&A

This year during the Dragon Boat Festival, I went with my own pole and loaded two vacuum-packed meat zongzi. A fellow traveler asked if I wanted to bring some, but I was afraid of getting him into trouble, so I said it was best not to bring any. If we were put on a blacklist, it would be bad. But in the end, my friend took the zongzi out of the box and put them back in the suitcase. When we were about to board the plane, I saw an old foreigner pick up a box of Five-flavor Glutinous Rice Zongzi and get on the plane directly. I didn't dare tell my friend what I had seen.. ?

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 ?

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
