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
Renting a car in Europe is completely unnecessary to purchase full insurance. If you choose to purchase additional "full insurance" on your own, it is your right to do so, and there is no issue of acceptance or non-acceptance on the part of the car rental company. This is a false dilemma. Additional insurance is an important source of income for car rental companies, and it is much more expensive than other methods, including purchasing insurance in Europe itself ? 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

Some people are willing to save tens of yuan a day, carefully checking scratches when picking up and returning the car, and paying first and then claiming compensation when an accident occurs.

I would like to ask: when renting a car in Germany and returning it to the original location, will there be a cross-border fee if I travel to Austria, Switzerland, or the Netherlands?

Encountered a crossroads turning left in Munich, there was only one light, and when it showed green, the opposite car came over and I dared not go. As a result, the red light stopped the opposite car and we went, but looking back, all the cars behind us were stopped. I wonder if I will be photographed ? Germany Q&A
Can anyone who has returned a car at Munich Airport share their experience? Will they inspect the car in person or just take the keys and let us go? Will they provide us with a receipt? Will the deposit we paid earlier be refunded immediately ? Germany Q&A
Car rental in Germany scratched and only chipped paint. I was charged 850 euros, saying pre-authorized and the actual repair cost will be deducted later. After returning to my home country, I received the repair bill, and 850 euros were used up, feeling like the car had undergone a major overhaul. I wonder if anyone has encountered such a thing ? Germany Q&A
Rented a car from Herz at Munich airport. When picking up the car, there was a fuel assistance fee of 102 euros, and a total of 300 euros were paid. (29 yuan for border crossing fee, 110 yuan for upgrade fee, and the rest is the 102 euro fuel assistance fee and tax.) The note at the end is accept, which means I have accepted it. When picking up the car, I had objections to this fee. The staff told me that this is a deposit nature, and it will be refunded if the car is clean and full of oil. But I wonder if this fee can be refunded when the car is full of oil and returned tomorrow. It feels like a trap ? Germany Q&A
