Insurance should not be compensated, so is it better not to report to the car rental agency ?

You won't report the car agency, and you will definitely be charged when you return the car. If you have bought comprehensive insurance, there is no problem. The insurance company will compensate you for how much it deducts.

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 ?

Renting a car in Europe is completely unnecessary to purchase full insurance. If you choose to purchase additional "full insurance" on your own, it is your right to do so, and there is no issue of acceptance or non-acceptance on the part of the car rental company. This is a false dilemma. Additional insurance is an important source of income for car rental companies, and it is much more expensive than other methods, including purchasing insurance in Europe itself ? 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

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
