First, the prepaid car rental fees are not refundable. Second, it's not a big problem to change the return location in the same city, and generally there won't be any fees charged, but you need to inform the car rental company in advance.

I don't have this experience myself, but you should be able to communicate with the car rental company. However, it is unlikely that you will be able to get a refund for returning the car early. It's best to rely on the car rental company's response for the most accurate information.

The rental fee for returning the car in advance is non-refundable. Changing the return location may incur an additional fee, even within the same city, depending on the distance between the two locations.

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

I'm not used to the frequent changes of speed limit signs in Germany. After driving at 120km/h for a while, suddenly there's a sign indicating 80km/h. It's uncomfortable to brake hard, and the car behind me must have cursed me to death. So I had to slow down gradually afterwards, but in fact I had already entered the speed limit for some time. I'm not sure what the design of this kind of speed limit is for in Germany ? 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.

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 ?
