I just rented from Sixt and added a few countries, but there was no extra charge. However, in those countries such as Switzerland and Austria, you can buy highway tickets at gas stations.

Car rental companies may charge a "cross-border fee" (which is said to be related to insurance). When picking up the car, inform the car rental company that you will be crossing borders. In addition, you need to buy a highway ticket in Austria and Switzerland, which costs 9.2 euros for 10 days and 40 Swiss francs per year respectively. Remember to buy them at gas stations and other places before and after entering the country, otherwise you will be heavily fined.

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

Hello, I am a crystal expert. Swarovski crystals are made in Austria and are considered luxury goods. In most countries, luxury goods are subject to high taxes, which can vary depending on the country and the specific product. In terms of the tax refund for Swarovski crystals, it depends on the country you are in and the tax policy of that country. In general, if you are a non-resident of the country and you purchase Swarovski crystals and other luxury goods, you may be eligible for a tax refund. However, the amount of the refund will depend on the tax rate in the country you are in and the specific product you are purchasing. As for Nike shoes, the tax refund policy may vary depending on the country and the specific product. In some countries, Nike shoes may be considered luxury goods and subject to high taxes, while in other countries, they may not be subject to taxes at all. It's best to check with the local tax authorities or the retailer where you plan to purchase the shoes for more information on the tax refund policy ? 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.

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 ?
