Hello everyone, I just walked into the tram lane near the Zurich Cathedral . As soon as you come out of that road, it's the tram track. I didn't see any signs, I saw all the cars turning left, but only I turned right, and then the whole road was tram tracks. Is anyone aware of how much the fine would be? I just returned the car and I feel very uneasy in my heart ? Switzerland Q&A

Return and inspection of the car 1. Prepare the checklist provided by the rental company before 2. Rental agreement, insurance documents, deposit receipt 3. Wash the car before returning it, both interior and exterior. Otherwise, you may be fined up to 500 Swiss francs for car washing (e.g. in Switzerland) 4. All photos taken when picking up the car 5. Return the car with a full tank of gas. Otherwise, you may be charged for refueling, which can be expensive 6. Take a photo of the fuel gauge 7. Take photos of any potential scratches to avoid being overcharged 8. When the car is inspected, make sure to check what is written and any associated fees.

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
