hello-everyone, I have a question. If I rent a car in Germany and do not mention crossing the border into Switzerland, but later decide to do so, what will happen? Do I need to report it to the car rental company again ?

You just need to make sure you have a valid Swiss driving license and purchase a Swiss motorway ticket.

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? 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. Some people are willing to spend money to save trouble, leaving the keys and walking away after returning the car. It's just a matter of personal habit ? Germany Q&A
