Return and inspection of the car 1. Prepare the checklist provided by the rental company before 2. Rental agreement, insurance documents, deposit receipt 3. Wash the car before returning it, both interior and exterior. Otherwise, you may be fined up to 500 Swiss francs for car washing (e.g. in Switzerland) 4. All photos taken when picking up the car 5. Return the car with a full tank of gas. Otherwise, you may be charged for refueling, which can be expensive 6. Take a photo of the fuel gauge 7. Take photos of any potential scratches to avoid being overcharged 8. When the car is inspected, make sure to check what is written and any associated fees. If there are any objections, resolve them before signing. This can be a stressful time, especially if you are in a rush to catch a flight, and you may overlook certain issues. It can be difficult to resolve them once you have returned home 9. The deposit refund will depend on the rental company checking for any violations, parking tickets, or toll charges. It may take 1-2 months to receive the deposit refund, and there will be no notification. The charges will be automatically deducted Additional information: Some gas stations offer automatic and manual car wash services. Both require self-operation. Automatic car wash: Drive in, the brushes will automatically clean and dry the car. The cost varies from 10-29 Swiss francs, depending on the size of the car. Advantages: Quick, approximately 10-20 minutes. Disadvantages: Expensive, and the car may not be thoroughly cleaned. Vacuuming requires coins, approximately 1 franc for 10 minutes Manual car wash: Advantages: Cheaper, more thorough cleaning, and can help identify any issues. Disadvantages: Tiring, limited time with the car wash hose, need to purchase car wash detergent. Indoor vacuuming requires renting a vacuum for approximately 1 franc for 10 minutes ? Switzerland Q&A

Friendly reminder to future car renters, be sure to inspect and take multiple photos when picking up the car. When I picked up the car, I found a damage (scratched wheel hub) that was not listed on the rental agreement. I asked them to confirm, and it turned out there were actually more damages, but they didn't care about the smaller ones. However, when I returned the car yesterday, they found another scratched wheel hub on a different tire, but I completely don't remember that tire being scratched. The key is that we took photos of all the other tires when picking up the car, except for that one which we missed... And the lighting was very dim when we picked up the car, so I really don't remember if we looked closely at that one ? Switzerland Q&A
