But the staff at Hertz clearly told me that I didn't need to return the car with a full tank of gas, and there was no mention of returning the car with a full tank of gas in the contract. So is this rule of returning the car with a full tank of gas an unwritten convention for car rental companies to save money ?

Some car rental companies require that the car be returned with a full tank of gas. If the tank is not full, they will charge you for a full tank of gas.

Car rental fees do not include fuel costs, so it is basic logic and common sense to return the car with a full tank if you pick it up with a full tank. If you do not refuel the car when returning it, the car dealership can charge you for the missing fuel amount and deduct it from your credit card.

His meaning is that if you come back with no oil, it's okay, but he didn't tell you that the fuel fee would be deducted from your credit card.

I would like to ask everyone, I rent a car in Austria and will leave for Prague tomorrow. When I am close to Prague, can I buy the highway ticket at the convenience store of the gas station and stick it on the upper right corner of the windshield? Then when I drive from Prague to Budapest, do I need to buy the highway ticket at the gas station close to Hungary? The staff at the rental center told me that Hungary does not give highway ticket stickers. So what are the documents given? Do I need to carry them while driving? Thank you ? Austria Q&A

It's really annoying to return the car in Salzburg. On the afternoon we arrived, we happened to meet an Austrian holiday, and everyone was off work early. Then we tried all kinds of ways to return the car by ourselves. The next day, we received an email saying that the left rear hub was damaged, so we rushed to the return point. They said the car had already been rented out. Yesterday, we received an email saying that we had to pay 320 euros in compensation. It's really not worth it! Fortunately, the insurance can be compensated, so be sure to buy insurance, otherwise you don't know what will happen ? Austria Q&A

Dear fellow car enthusiasts, I would like to ask for your advice. I have a 2-day trip to Switzerland and a 2-day trip to Austria. How should I purchase the highway tolls? Is it per day or per road? Should I buy them at the gas station convenience store before or after entry? What does the ticket look like? What if I need to enter and exit repeatedly? In addition, the rental car order does not have an additional driver. Is the insurance car, person, and trip-related? Do I need to buy insurance again when I pick up the car? Thank you in advance for the enlightenment of the senior ? Austria Q&A
