I checked my bank app today and the transaction mode was "Consumption" for 500 euros. I asked the car rental company repeatedly and confirmed that it was a deposit. I find it strange because the transaction mode should be "Pre-Authorization", right ? Austria Q&A

At that time, it was agreed that if the car was returned more than 2 hours late, a fee of 45 euros would be charged. After returning the car, I was charged 386 euros the next day, and they said the fee was calculated based on the store price that day. I only spent more than 2000 euros in total for the four-day rental car. If you delay it for 3 hours a day, you will deduct more than 3000 euros from me? Robbery ? Austria Q&A

Do you know if you have to inform the car rental company if you are driving across countries in Austria ? Austria Q&A
Park on the roadside and check if there is a coin-operated machine. If there is, choose how many hours to park, insert the coins, print the ticket, and place it on the front windshield. Foreigners will check if there is anything printed on the windshield. If not, they may leave a parking violation notice. However, not all areas require parking fees, and the police may not always check. In urban areas, roadside parking generally requires a fee, but it is usually free on Saturdays and Sundays ?
