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

Renting a car in Europe is completely unnecessary to purchase full insurance. If you choose to purchase additional "full insurance" on your own, it is your right to do so, and there is no issue of acceptance or non-acceptance on the part of the car rental company. This is a false dilemma. Additional insurance is an important source of income for car rental companies, and it is much more expensive than other methods, including purchasing insurance in Europe itself ? Germany Q&A

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

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 ?
