Dear seniors, I got a parking ticket for 40 Swiss francs in Interlaken, Switzerland when I parked illegally after picking up my car at Munich airport in Germany. I only saw the ticket when I returned the car. Now I don't know how to handle it ? Germany Q&A
Got a not-a-question question: how to drive and park properly in Würzburg? I'm driving from Nuremberg to Würzburg in the morning and will only stay there until later in the afternoon, without accommodation. Because the main route in Würzburg is one, either from Marienberg Castle to the Bishop's Residenz or vice versa. How far can this road go straight? How long does it take to walk? Where is it suitable to park the car? In short, I don't want to drive both ends, nor do I want to backtrack.. ? 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.

I'm not used to the frequent changes of speed limit signs in Germany. After driving at 120km/h for a while, suddenly there's a sign indicating 80km/h. It's uncomfortable to brake hard, and the car behind me must have cursed me to death. So I had to slow down gradually afterwards, but in fact I had already entered the speed limit for some time. I'm not sure what the design of this kind of speed limit is for in Germany ? 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.

Want to drive from Füssen to Zugspitze, but I see that I have to pass through Switzerland.

Do I need to wash the car when returning it? Many people say no, but there are also car owners who have been charged cleaning fees and management fees, saying they were ripped off. I think it's up to your own judgment! If it's too dirty, washing it won't cost much. This is not a reason for certain car rental companies not to charge you ? Germany Q&A
Yesterday I picked up my car and drove less than 300km. The tire pressure warning came up and said the front tire was low. The rear tire is at 260kpa, but the front two are only at 220. I feel like it's under inflated. Where can I go to inflate the tires in Munich ? Germany Q&A
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?

I also encountered this. When picking up the car, I was inexplicably charged 15.01 euros. When I asked the platform, they said it was for emergency road rescue insurance. I was puzzled because the rental company never mentioned anything about insurance. Why do they have this item ? Germany Q&A
