Haven't encountered it, but suggest all credentials be carried with you.

If stopped by the police (or in case of an accident), you need formal documents with legal validity and notarized certificates.

Help, on June 22nd, I was driving in Germany from Berlin to Munich and the King's Lake. When I rented the car, there was a pre-authorization of 124 euros. After returning to my country, I checked at the end of July and found that it had been unfrozen, so I thought everything was fine. However, on August 6th, the bank called me and informed me that there was a pre-sale right of around 29 points, which they said was the handling fee of the car rental company. It should be due to a traffic violation, and the German police will send a notice of violation to the address I provided in my country. I don't know how to pay the fine. Also, the address I provided is my driver's license address, which has been demolished, so I won't be able to receive any notification. How can I pay the fine, and what are the consequences if I don't pay it ? 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 ?

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

The car rental company asked me to submit my address, and I gave them the address on my driver's license. How was I supposed to know they were going to mail me a ticket?

Wow, you're really something. Could you please be responsible when answering others' questions? Do you think the European traffic violation system will break down by itself, or do you think the car rental company is so stupid that they can't find out who violated the rules and won't deduct the deposit and management fee? If you don't handle your own violations, the worst-case scenario is that the car rental company will deduct the fine and handling fee from the initial authorization, and if you have a lot of violations and don't pay, you can try it out ?

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?
