Hi all: I arrive at Frankfurt at around 6:00 am. I would like to take a train to Munich directly from the airport. Do I need to book the ticket in advance? Can I just buy one at the train station ? Germany Q&A
We were told when returning the car that it was in perfect condition and we could leave without worry. A few days later, the invoice arrived and we were charged an additional 1100 euros for damage. 1100 is the minimum amount charged in the car rental company's contract. We rented from Enterprise Berlin Zoo and returned it at Frankfurt Main Station. Have you ever encountered such a situation ? Germany Q&A
European cities are basically just churches, town halls, and squares. I find it boring just to look at a couple of them. I still think natural scenery is more interesting. That's also why I think it doesn't really matter if I go to Munich or not ? Germany Q&A
Violations generally do not receive information so quickly, unless they are fines issued on the spot. The pre-authorized deduction should be part of the fees charged by the car rental company other than the car rental. Please carefully check the bill to see if there are any fees that you did not notice. The car rental company will not help you handle violations, so they will not pre-authorize fees to handle them ? Germany Q&A
Germany is fast, but the driving quality of its people is generally high. Austria has many mountains, and the speed limit on the roads is very low, generally 100, and the theoretical maximum on the highway is 130, but I have never encountered it. However, the driving quality of people in Austria is a little worse. I have encountered several sudden rushes out of intersections, and there is definitely no one who will do this in Germany ? Germany Q&A
I really don't understand why you keep occupying the fast lane? First of all, there is no expressway in Germany that has no speed limit throughout the section. Therefore, it is impossible to drive at 130-150 if so, you can only say that you have violated the rules. Secondly, after overtaking, give way to the leftmost lane is the most basic rule ? Germany Q&A
Where to rent a car? Airport, sometimes you will encounter a lot of people queuing, city stores, the number of people will not be more than the airport, but the car model selection is less. The procedures handled are basically the same, and your information such as passport number, basic information of driver's license, home address, email address, etc. must be registered ? 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
The country road, mountain road, they speed through the bends at 100 kilometers per hour, while I struggle to drive at only 70. Because it's a mountain road, I always have a long line of cars behind me. I'm sorry, but for safety reasons, I can't help it. I'm not a professional race car driver, after all ? Germany Q&A
Excuse me, this time I plan to buy three Omega watches. My itinerary is: Berlin-Frankfurt-Switzerland-Munich. Is it the most cost-effective to buy in Switzerland? Or, I have already bought it in Berlin, and then went to Switzerland, and then returned to Berlin. Will they say no when crossing the border? Mainly, he is considering how to handle refunds. I hope everyone can help popularize knowledge ? Germany Q&A
When driving abroad, it is essential to fully understand the traffic rules of the destination country. If you are fined, you should inquire about which laws and regulations you have violated, learn from the experience to avoid repeating the offense in the future. If you do not reflect on your own violations and instead confront the situation with 'why am I being fined and not others, I must be treated unfairly,' then you will continue to make the same mistakes. Your mindset will be distorted, and what should have been a pleasant Road trip will turn into a tragedy ? Germany Q&A
That's enough with the RentCarGo international driving license certification! There's no need to go through the hassle of getting a consulate translation. It's not just about the money, it's about not having the time or energy to do it. RentCarGo says it's okay, and the rental car company says it's okay, so what's the big deal? I've rented cars in Europe many times and have never had a problem with the police checking my license. So I'm not going to waste my time doing this. If there is a problem, I'll definitely hold RentCarGo accountable. Can they handle it ? 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
