I'm a green hand. Please ask all the gods. I pick up the car in Germany and drive to Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, and finally return the car in the Czech Republic. What procedures and fees are required for border crossings ? 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
Additionally, I need to transit through Italy to Switzerland and then return to Munich and Shanghai. Will my German authentication document + German embassy stamp be useful in Switzerland and Italy? Will insurance be able to compensate in case of an accident in Italy and Switzerland ? Germany Q&A
Hello everyone, I have a question: after I have made a notarized document for German translation, it is said that I also need to go to the Foreign Affairs Office to affix the seal of the German embassy. Is this the proper way to do it? Even if the police check, I am not afraid ? Germany Q&A
Just don't know how to choose when choosing a car rental company, afraid that the local car rental companies are of uneven quality and will be extorted, so I chose an international car rental company... How do you choose a car rental company? Can anyone share it ? Germany Q&A
I have a question. When we picked up the car, we charged more than 50. I didn't understand what this money was for. Was it a deposit for the last box of oil, or did it mean that we didn't have to return the full amount we borrowed? Have any of you encountered this situation ? Germany Q&A
May I ask which type of location tends to have a shortage of car models and therefore needs more opportunities for upgrades, such as train stations? Because I only want to drive one type of car and don't really want to switch to others ? 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
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
Address was required to be left in English, so I just wrote it. International express is estimated to be unable to receive it. Is there any website that can check expressway or traffic fines in advance, and pay the fines in advance? Thank you ? Germany Q&A
Which one is cost-effective depends on the number of people. The fare for public transportation in Germany is not cheap. The cost for two or more round trips may be equal to the parking fee. The key is to save time. Since we hope to spend more time sightseeing, it's best not to waste time on public transportation ? 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
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
The car rental company asked me to submit my address, and I gave them the address on my driver's license. How was I supposed to know they were going to mail me a ticket? And I gave them my email address, so why didn't they just email it to me? Shipping international express is expensive, and it still has to be charged to us. Making such a simple thing so complicated! And then blaming us for bad credit in the end ? Germany Q&A
Frank picked up the car and drove all the way in Germany. He has 2 kids, one 4 years old 108cm tall, and the other 10 years old 145cm tall. He forgot to rent the car seat and booster seat. Is it okay for the 2 kids to use the booster seat only? What's the price if we rent it from the car rental? What's the price if we buy it? Where can we buy it around Frankfurt airport ? Germany Q&A
