Can you please tell me how much money will we need for 3 adults for 13 days in Germany and Austria? We have already booked our flights, hotels, and car rental (rental car express). For example, breakfast is provided by the hotel, how much will lunch and dinner cost ? Germany Q&A
Thanks for your previous reply. Can I buy the discounted train tickets displayed on the DB website when I get on the platform? If not, do I need to book in advance on the website to get the discount price ? Germany Q&A
Hello everyone, I will be staying in Germany and Switzerland for three days each. I will arrive in Germany by plane and apply for a German visa. Is this appropriate? Do I need to make a fake itinerary with an extra day of accommodation in Germany to show the customs ? Germany Q&A
I reserved a Mercedes-Benz C-Class car at the SIXT Munich airport store, but I only have one credit card available for use. Can I still rent it? If a second credit card is required, what should I do ? Germany Q&A
Is there a direct debit for the deposit when renting a car from Enterprise at Frankfurt Airport, instead of a pre-authorization? How long does it take to get the refund after returning the car? I was charged 120 euros ? Germany Q&A
Excuse me, I will arrive in Munich at noon and my hotel is booked in Fussen. I want to stroll around Munich before going to Fussen. Is it safe to leave my luggage in the car while strolling? Or is there a place where I can store my luggage ? Germany Q&A

Is there really no speed limit on German highways? I plan to rent a car and drive by myself in Germany, so I must book hotels, flights, and cars in advance. Now I just want to confirm whether there is really no speed limit on German highways ? Germany Q&A
I don't quite understand. I asked the customer service of Air China if this was a connecting flight. They replied that it was a shared flight and they couldn't be sure if the luggage would be delivered directly. I booked the ticket online by searching for "Beijing to Berlin" and this ticket came up. I only found out after placing the order that there was a two-hour layover ? Germany Q&A
Can you please recommend the best way to self-drive from Frankfurt to Munich in about 8 days? We would like to visit Metzingen and Neuschwanstein along the way, and have no other specific requirements. We would prefer not to be too rushed, like a typical tour group. Could you please help plan a reasonable itinerary, including which towns to stay in at night? PS: Is it better to take the train from Munich to Vienna or continue driving ? Germany Q&A
Can you tell me that I paid the deposit with my domestic credit card in Europcar in Germany. It has been a week since I returned the car, but the deposit has not been credited in time. Today, when I asked the rental company, they told me that the deposit has been unlocked. What's going on? And the bank shows "deduction" instead of block ? Germany Q&A
If I buy full insurance, do I need to call the police when an accident occurs or my car is scratched? Do I have to go through an oath certification procedure? If the driver at the time of the accident is not me, but my husband, can I still claim for compensation ? Germany Q&A
The woman at the counter when I picked up the car this morning first asked about insurance. I said I had already bought it, and it was bought at SIXT, with a deductible of 0 euros. Then she printed out a slip and asked me to swipe my card. In total, it was 650 euros. I said the full amount was prepaid when I booked the car, so why did it cost so much? But she didn't say anything and kept urging me to sign. I wonder if I've been trapped ? Germany Q&A
Whether to fill up the gas tank when returning the car depends on the terms and conditions. Eroucar's new service does not require customers to deliberately refuel, as they will refuel without charging a processing fee and deduct the cost from the prepaid amount. I returned the car with a full tank, and the staff inspected the car on the spot and confirmed the signature on the mobile app. About a week later, I received a refund of 300 euros from the prepaid amount. On the other hand, another car rental company, Hertz, charges a pre-authorization of 75 euros and deducts the cost if the gas tank is not full, so the staff advised us to use up the gas as much as possible. Of course, we returned the car with a full tank, but the prepaid amount has not been refunded yet ? Germany Q&A
Wow, you're really something. Could you please be responsible when answering others' questions? Do you think the European traffic violation system will break down by itself, or do you think the car rental company is so stupid that they can't find out who violated the rules and won't deduct the deposit and management fee? If you don't handle your own violations, the worst-case scenario is that the car rental company will deduct the fine and handling fee from the initial authorization, and if you have a lot of violations and don't pay, you can try it out ?
