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
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 ?

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
If you change cities, the biggest parking fee expense is basically parking at the hotel overnight, so you need to check in advance whether the hotel you find provides free parking. Because during the day I basically don't drive out, public transportation is convenient and I don't have to worry about parking fees. The only time the parking fee was very expensive was in Salzburg, and also Hallstatt. The few places where I parked in other lakes were all free ? Austria Q&A
Has anyone driven from Vienna to Budapest by themselves? Is the road good to drive on? Are there street lights along the way? Is it dangerous to start at 6 am when it's still dark ? 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 also want to know what will happen if I don't pay the speeding ticket? In addition, the 24 euros of management fee that the garage wanted to deduct was not deducted successfully. Will not paying this fee have a big impact ? Austria Q&A
Just wondering if there are no border tolls when driving a car from Austria into Germany? And also no tolls in Germany? Thank you. The car rental agency gave me a sticker for the entire 13 days ? Austria Q&A
Can I ask if I rent a car in Vienna today and asked about the expressway ticket, the counter said it was included, but there was nothing on the front windshield of our car, what's going on ? Austria Q&A
Thank you all! I know the shuttle bus is faster from Linz, but I was wondering if there is a train that can go directly there. After all, it's more convenient for me to drive. I looked up and found that the closest Austrian countryside to CK is Freistadt, which is only about 50 kilometers away. However, I can't find any shuttle buses ? Austria Q&A
Does anyone know the small train in Shafushan? According to the official timetable, the train in October does not reach the top of the mountain, but I have also read travel notes that people can reach the top of the mountain in October ? Austria Q&A
Can I ask why I was charged 130 euros for self-service fuel in Vienna? My credit card shows a transaction, not a pre-authorization. When I called the service hotline for the gas station, they said the money would be refunded the next day. However, it's been two days now and the refund has not been processed ? Austria Q&A
Hello everyone, when going from Germany to Austria, do we need to buy a transit ticket at the convenience store? But is this transit ticket only allowed for a single transit, or can it be used for multiple round trips? Thank you ? Austria Q&A
