Friends renting from Hertz at Charles de Gaulle Airport should be aware of their consumption trap. The staff will always quote prices in euros and the credit card pre-authorization will also be in euros. As you are in Europe, you naturally assume that the expenses are in euros. However, you will find that you have been charged in dollars on the actual bill, and the exchange rate is relatively unreasonable. If you carefully look at the Hertz invoice, it does mention that you can pay in US dollars, but no one will ask you if you want to choose US dollars because the pre-authorization has already been opened, and there is no need to swipe your credit card again when changing the car. They will directly charge you in US dollars, and their exchange rate may result in overcharging you. I was overcharged more than 300 RMB for one transaction ? France Q&A

Can everyone please tell me, when self-service fueling, after selecting the oil gun cabinet position number and inserting the credit card and entering the password, the maximum fueling fee will be displayed, and then 20L of fuel will be added. After fueling, the fueling host will print out the bill. Now the problem is that I have received two fee reminders on my credit card text message, the first one is the maximum fueling fee before, and the second one is the actual fueling fee. So, should the first fee be a pre-authorization ? Italy Q&A

Yesterday, I rented a car from Europcar at Frankfurt Airport. I had booked a Golf estate car and requested a diesel vehicle in the notes of my reservation. However, I was given an Opel estate car, which was diesel and automatic, and I had to pay a pre-authorization deposit of over 800 euros. The trunk could only fit two 28-inch suitcases and one 24-inch suitcase, along with some backpacks. The cover for the trunk couldn't be pulled up, and the luggage was exposed. Additionally, the previous renter had clearly broken one of the clips on the cover, so I took photos as evidence. I'm not sure if having exposed luggage will cause any issues when I go to Poland. Yesterday, I drove 400 kilometers, and the fuel gauge showed that I had used almost half of the fuel ? Poland Q&A

Help, on June 22nd, I was driving in Germany from Berlin to Munich and the King's Lake. When I rented the car, there was a pre-authorization of 124 euros. After returning to my country, I checked at the end of July and found that it had been unfrozen, so I thought everything was fine. However, on August 6th, the bank called me and informed me that there was a pre-sale right of around 29 points, which they said was the handling fee of the car rental company. It should be due to a traffic violation, and the German police will send a notice of violation to the address I provided in my country. I don't know how to pay the fine. Also, the address I provided is my driver's license address, which has been demolished, so I won't be able to receive any notification. How can I pay the fine, and what are the consequences if I don't pay it ? Germany Q&A
