If I stay overnight in a nearby town, then I have two new questions. Is it better to experience by taking a train or by driving? Also, if I bring my luggage to another town where sightseeing and accommodation are not together, will it be very troublesome? Thank you ? Austria Q&A
Departure on 6/9 for 14 days. Austria Lake District + Salzburg + King's Lake + Prague + Budapest. I would like to ask, after paying the toll on the car, do I still need to go to a gas station or convenience store to buy a transit ticket before crossing the border? Thank you ? Austria Q&A
May I ask everyone, my order is to return the car to Europcar in Salzburg at 9 a.m. on June 3. But this car dealership is not open today (Saturday) and tomorrow (Sunday). How should I deal with this situation? Will there be staff tomorrow? At the time of ordering and picking up the car in Vienna, there was no problem ? Austria Q&A
Hello everyone, I would like to inquire about this. I am planning to self-drive in Austria at the end of the year. Now when I search for routes on Google, I find that some sections are marked as "road closure". What does this mean? Can't I drive on this road ? Austria Q&A
Please ask everyone who has walked through: I went from Vienna to Hallstatt, then to Salzburg, and then drove to Germany all the way. Are the routes provided by Tantu all highways? Are there any provincial or rural roads to choose from? Experience the scenery along the way ? Austria Q&A

Please ask, is there any requirement for carrying cash when traveling abroad on a self-guided tour? I heard that the destination customs may randomly check the situation of carrying cash, and that adults carrying less than 1000 euros per person will be fined. Is there such a ridiculous thing ? Austria Q&A
Dear experts, please ask: 1. It is said that the car rented in Austria already has a highway pass. Do I still need to buy highway tickets? If I cross the border to Germany, do I need to buy? Where can I buy it? 2. Where can I buy parking coupons if I park in Austria? Thank you ? Austria Q&A
Okay, thank you. I looked it up and it seems that car rental companies will attach the expressway tickets to the car window. So, you won't need to buy those expressway tickets at convenience stores anymore, right ? Austria Q&A
Today, when we returned the car to Sixt in Salzburg, we asked the gas station attendant which level of car wash was needed when returning the car. He told us that the package of 6.99 euros was enough. When we arrived at Sixt, it was already after 12 o'clock and the staff had gone home. We had arrived 10 minutes early to greet the staff, but they said that they would not accept the car if it was late, and that they would collect it the next day. We could only listen to them across the road and put the key in the box ? Austria Q&A
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
Last night at Vienna Airport, I just got the car from Hertz, and then on the way to the hotel, a left-turn red light was broken and never turned green. I noticed that the other lights had turned green many times, but the left-turn light remained red. Later, I saw that the other cars behind me changed lanes to go straight before turning left, so I had to make a tough decision to turn left because I was the first car. I don't know if I will be fined for running a red light? ? Austria Q&A
