I used it once, I can't remember the details. It was something like inserting a credit card into the slot, typing in the password. Then use the gun to refuel, and hang the gun to complete the payment. But it seems that domestic cards are difficult to recognize, even international credit cards. Anyway, it's usually still to go to gas stations with convenience stores, pick up the gun to refuel, refuel, hang the gun. Go to the checkout counter of the convenience store and tell them the number of the fueling position, they will tell you how much it is, pay in cash.

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

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
