What is a sworn translation of the driver's license?

Don't forget to bring the original document, together with the certified copy.

Using the international driver's license certification from Rent a Car is enough! There's no need to go through the hassle of getting a translation from the consulate. It's not just a matter of money; it's about not having that much time in the U.S., and moreover, it's unnecessary. Rent a Car says it's okay, and the rental company says it's okay, so what is there to worry about? I've rented cars in Europe multiple times and have encountered police checking licenses without any issues. Therefore, I won't waste my time on this; if there really is a problem, everyone will definitely hold Rent a Car accountable, can they afford that ? 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

Not only do they say you don't need to buy a high-speed ticket, but they've been running around for days and haven't been caught. People always say things like, "Oh, it's no problem to drive all the way with a little white book." I don't know where they get their mysterious confidence and logic from, it's really funny and annoying. This is definitely not a responsible attitude towards travel. It's like saying, "You didn't get caught driving after drinking, so you can always drive after drinking in the future?" ? Germany Q&A

I rented a Mercedes-Benz E-Class for my trip. Before picking up the car, I didn't know if it was an E200 or E220, petrol or diesel. But I did my homework beforehand, and if it was an E220, then it would be the diesel version. It turned out to be an E200, and I was a bit disappointed, as the horsepower would be lower, but there was nothing I could do about it. I checked the car and found that the latch in the bottom of the trunk was broken, causing the luggage cover inside to not close properly. I told the staff at the pick-up location that this needed to be fixed, or else I would request a different car. They said that there was only this E200 available at the moment, and asked if I would accept a different model. I said that I was used to driving a Mercedes-Benz and didn't consider other options. They quickly brought over an E220d and asked if I wanted it. Do I even need to answer that ? 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.
