The car rental company asked me to submit my address, and I gave them the address on my driver's license. How was I supposed to know they were going to mail me a ticket? And I gave them my email address, so why didn't they just email it to me? Shipping international express is expensive, and it still has to be charged to us. Making such a simple thing so complicated!

Help, on June 22nd, I was driving in Germany from Berlin to Munich and the King's Lake. When I rented the car, there was a pre-authorization of 124 euros. After returning to my country, I checked at the end of July and found that it had been unfrozen, so I thought everything was fine. However, on August 6th, the bank called me and informed me that there was a pre-sale right of around 29 points, which they said was the handling fee of the car rental company. It should be due to a traffic violation, and the German police will send a notice of violation to the address I provided in my country. I don't know how to pay the fine. Also, the address I provided is my driver's license address, which has been demolished, so I won't be able to receive any notification. How can I pay the fine, and what are the consequences if I don't pay it ? 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 ?

Driving in Germany by car in July. This week, I received a notice of violation from Europcar, saying that there was a violation in Stuttgart and 30 euros would be deducted from my credit card.

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
