One more question, if I am late for picking up the car which I reserved by myself, will they not leave the car for me? Are they strict with the time requirement ? Germany Q&A
Seek advice from friends in the group, I received a fine for driving in Spain, and the rental car company notified me by email. I missed the online payment deadline because I checked the email late. I asked the car rental company and they replied that they couldn't arrange the payment for the fine at the moment. They said I have to wait for the fine to be sent to my home, and then they will help me arrange the payment again. I'm a bit confused about this operation because I have already returned to my country. Can the fine be sent to me? If I keep not receiving it and can't pay, will it affect my future visa application or entry into Europe ? Spain Q&A

Beidao car rental, bought full insurance, returned the car today. I know I drove the car without any accidents or scratches. When returning the car, they pointed to a small stain on the front bumper and said it was damage, asking me to sign. I don't need to pay for it. I want to ask everyone, what kind of trick is this? Should I sign ? New Zealand Q&A
Avis returned the car at night, not overdue, the car was in good condition, and returned with a full tank of gas. The next day, I was fined over 200 euros, and on the fourth day, I was fined over 20 euros. I only paid a deposit of 180 euros, and I feel like the car rental company can just charge my credit card as they please. Has anyone else experienced this ? Italy Q&A
Dear friends, have you encountered such a situation? Yesterday I picked up the car and didn't ask for a deposit. The fuel tank of the car was half full of oil. When I asked him how it was half full, he said it was okay to return half of the fuel when returning the car, because he couldn't communicate in English. So I drove away without paying the deposit. If there are any traffic violations, how will he deduct the money ? Turkey 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
I stayed for one night, drove into the parking lot, and the attendant appeared for the fee. When I picked up the car, the attendant was also there. My luggage is at that hotel, and it's hard to say if there's anyone watching overnight. The parking lot doesn't have a fence or a guard booth, but it still looks safe. After all, there are few outsiders in the small city, mostly tourists. If the luggage is left in the car overnight, don't open the trunk after parking, just cover it up so it's not visible from the outside ? Spain Q&A
When returning the car by self-service, the previous email said to just put the car keys and contract inside, but I just read the return instructions and it says to keep the contract with you in case of any dispute over charges. So, I want to ask everyone, is it necessary to put the contract when returning the car by self-service? This is my first time renting a car and I have a lot of doubts ? Norway Q&A
platepass was not activated at the time, did it automatically activate when you later passed through the toll road, and did it incur charges from that day ? United States Q&A
Oh. But I'm afraid I may not have the Internet sometimes. Last time I rented a car in Europe, I was lucky and the car had a built-in navigation system that was really good. I'm afraid I won't be so lucky this time. I'll rent WI-FI at the airport before departure, but I'm also afraid it won't be very useful. Do you rent WI-FI or switch to phone cards ? United States Q&A
I consulted with someone about the car space issue for a road trip in the western United States with 4 adults and 2 children. We have one large suitcase and three small ones. Will a Mercedes GLS, Chevrolet Tahoe, and GMC Yukon, all full-size SUVs, be enough? Or should we just go with the Chevrolet Tahoe ? United States Q&A
Yeah, I was driving with my heart in my throat, afraid of holding up the cars behind me, and not daring to insert myself between two big cars. It was really not easy. Also, may I ask you: in the city, the speed limit is 30, and there are no cars in front of me. I'm also not daring to exceed the speed limit, driving like a plodding ox, pressing on the cars behind me. I always feel guilty about it ? Germany Q&A
Hello everyone, I'm on the highway, I don't know if there is a card in the car or not, after passing the ogs mouth, the light is yellow, and it's beep beep. The phone of the taxi company is so bad that I can't understand it. Am I going to be fined ? Turkey Q&A
