I didn't mention that I was going to Austria and the Czech Republic when I picked up the car yesterday. He gave me a Volkswagen Scirocco coupe. Can I cross the border ?

Austria is fine, but not necessarily the Czech Republic. You need to ask the car dealership.

Yes, but to be honest, what they are actually considering is the fear of German cars encountering vandalism by a small number of people here. The war by the Germans in the past has caused them significant harm, and because of these incidents, the rental car company is considering from this perspective.

Yesterday when going down the slope of B500, the speed was greater than 80 and less than 70 (the speed limit is 70). I only noticed when I was close that there was a police car on the right side of the road in front of the car, and there was a police officer who seemed to be holding something (suspected to be a speed detector). He didn't let me stop, and I came directly. If a ticket is issued in this situation, how should it be calculated ? Germany Q&A

Hello, I rented a car in Germany to Austria and the Czech Republic, and then back to Germany. Caro company told me that I needed to buy a pass to go to the Czech Republic and Austria. On my way to Austria and the Czech Republic, I did not buy a highway ticket (I asked at the gas station on the way to the Czech Republic if they sold passes, and they said no). Now I am already in the Czech Republic. Do I need to buy one on the way back to Germany ? Germany Q&A

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! And then blaming us for bad credit in the end ? Germany Q&A

I have a question. When we picked up the car, we charged more than 50. I didn't understand what this money was for. Was it a deposit for the last box of oil, or did it mean that we didn't have to return the full amount we borrowed? Have any of you encountered this situation ? Germany Q&A

The woman at the counter when I picked up the car this morning first asked about insurance. I said I had already bought it, and it was bought at SIXT, with a deductible of 0 euros. Then she printed out a slip and asked me to swipe my card. In total, it was 650 euros. I said the full amount was prepaid when I booked the car, so why did it cost so much? But she didn't say anything and kept urging me to sign. I wonder if I've been trapped ? Germany Q&A

Then they gave me a piece of paper and a parking card, and I went to get the car myself. No one was in charge. When I got there, I found scratches on the back of the car. After taking a picture, I caught a passing staff member and told him about the situation. He then took a picture and registered it on his phone, and asked me to sign.

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

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.

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 ?
