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
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 ?

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
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
Excuse me, do you have reflective vests, warning triangles, first aid kits, and parking time recorders when renting a car? Some police officers online say they will check. Also, I heard that there are usually Austrian highway tickets on the car, if not, you have to buy them yourself ? Austria Q&A
I'm not sure where I violated the law. There were no police officers issuing tickets, and I wasn't stopped either. Were they using electronic police ? Austria Q&A

Please drive from Vienna to Hallstatt. Besides the normal highway, are there any other toll roads that need to be paid along the way? I once heard that a bridge will charge 8.5 euros. Has anyone passed it before? Thank you ? Austria Q&A
Just want to ask after returning the car, the car rental company sent an email saying that there was a scratch on the car. Do you know if anyone has encountered this before? Will there be additional charges ? Austria Q&A
First time renting a car overseas, I was thinking about what kind of car it would be, how the car was in condition, and the schedule for the next trip. I didn't pay attention when signing the contract ? Austria Q&A
Original plan was to return the car on the 24th, now I want to extend the rental until the 27th, how can I go through the procedures online? Or do I have to go to the store to go through the procedures ? Austria Q&A
Who is in Vienna? Can you help me send what people are wearing on the streets now? I'm leaving next week and I don't know what to bring. I've prepared a lot of sweaters and I'm already in a mess ? Austria Q&A
