Depends on where you go. But studded tires are recommended.

Just back from Germany and Belgium, some places have already snowed, all-season tires are safer.

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. Have any of you friends encountered similar situations? How should I deal with it? Just wait for him to deduct it? Is this amount a fine or a service fee from the car rental company? I ask for everyone's advice ? Germany Q&A

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
