There is no such thing as half a day when it comes to renting a car.

Dear experts, please help me with the following questions: 1. I will stay in Füssen for two days, mainly to visit Neuschwanstein Castle and Linderhof Palace (actual visiting time is one and a half days). 2. I will stay for two nights near Lake Königssee in Ramsau or Berchtesgaden, but I'm not sure which place is more suitable. 3. I will skip Salzburg and go directly from near Lake Königssee to visit St. Wolfgang and Grundlsee (mainly to visit Hallstatt) and stay for one night. 5. Two days in Vienna. 6. One day in Český Krumlov. 7. Two and a half days in Prague. Is this itinerary feasible ? 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

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

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

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 ?
