I see it will snow in Munich and Salzburg next week. Do I need to rent snow chains? Will there be someone to clear the road then ?

Highways and expressways do not need snow chains, while mountain roads, especially those going up the mountain, do.

No need to rent snow chains, the snow tires work very well. The roads are also cleared of snow in a timely manner, so if it's snowing, just drive slowly. The road is easy to drive on.

Just asking, when entering a town, if the speed is displayed as exceeding the limit, will I be fined for taking pictures? The navigation hasn't displayed the speed limit yet, and there are no speed limit signs on the side of the road.

When driving abroad, it is essential to fully understand the traffic rules of the destination country. If you are fined, you should inquire about which laws and regulations you have violated, learn from the experience to avoid repeating the offense in the future. If you do not reflect on your own violations and instead confront the situation with 'why am I being fined and not others, I must be treated unfairly,' then you will continue to make the same mistakes. Your mindset will be distorted, and what should have been a pleasant Road trip will turn into a tragedy ? 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. I wonder how it will be when I return the car? Overall, the process of getting the car is not complicated, but the experience is not good ? 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

That's enough with the RentCarGo international driving license certification! There's no need to go through the hassle of getting a consulate translation. It's not just about the money, it's about not having the time or energy to do it. RentCarGo says it's okay, and the rental car company says it's okay, so what's the big deal? I've rented cars in Europe many times and have never had a problem with the police checking my license. So I'm not going to waste my time doing this. If there is a problem, I'll definitely hold RentCarGo accountable. Can they handle 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?

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 ?
