Should I book hotels along the way in advance for Road trip? Worried about temporary situations or changes in the itinerary, I have booked the hotels for the first two stops, and I am thinking of booking the rest while on the road. Will it be expensive or unavailable? We will arrive in Taipei on the second day and travel counterclockwise ? Taiwan(China) Q&A
I originally planned to rent a car at Izmir airport on November 19th and return it in Cappadocia on the 27th. I only found out I had forgotten my driver's license when I arrived in Istanbul. My husband had his license, but we didn't have an international credit card. We are a group of three and are looking for kind people who would like to join us. We are willing to pay for the entire rental fee, and my husband can also drive! ? Turkey Q&A
And the dinner at the sky bistro on top of Banff gondola yesterday was just so-so, and it's not allowed to change seats. The sun was very hot and the air conditioning was not turned on, so everyone had to eat with sunglasses on, which made me feel it was not worth it. All the gondola restaurants are white houses, and the scenery outside is better for taking pictures. By the way, the coffee bar next to the bistro is very cheap, 2.5 dollars a cup of Starbucks self-picked, sitting by the window for two hours ? Canada Q&A
Hello everyone, I just walked into the tram lane near the Zurich Cathedral . As soon as you come out of that road, it's the tram track. I didn't see any signs, I saw all the cars turning left, but only I turned right, and then the whole road was tram tracks. Is anyone aware of how much the fine would be? I just returned the car and I feel very uneasy in my heart ? Switzerland Q&A
We drove from five cities and turned on the headlights. It's better to turn them on than not to. Some roads may not need them, but at that time you have to look at the navigation and road signs, go around the island, and you won't have the mind to open which road needs to be turned on and which doesn't. We have been driving without any problems ? United Kingdom Q&A
By the way, do you have any violations? I receive an invoice letter from Sixt every few days, which are all administration fees for speeding violations. It turns out that each item is charged 36 pounds in administration fees! However, I don't know how the fine was sent to the domestic address. I would like to remind everyone that the English address you leave when renting a car must be accurate! I am now worried to death about this ? United Kingdom Q&A
I took two rental cars, ending in Rome, Florence, and Venice. Then from Venice to Milan. Can all of the ZTLs be bought back online? What is the website? I'm going back to my country tomorrow. I want to take care of these things before I leave, as I've heard that the fines sent back after I leave are quite heavy, hundreds of euros. But do I need to have the time when I rented the car and the license plate number? ? Italy Q&A
I rented a car from yesaway, and the Thai people were very responsible. I received a phone call before leaving the airport asking when I would be leaving, and everything was taken care of. When returning the car at the airport, the Thai person took the initiative to fill up the gas for me. In the end, I voluntarily gave 100 baht ? Thailand Q&A
Problems encountered when renting a car in Canada were overturned after arriving in Canada. First of all, the original car model or low rent does not have GPS. If you want a car with GPS, the price is high, and the price of GPS is even higher. In addition, you have to buy various insurances. As a result, the price has doubled, and the GPS is still in English ? Canada Q&A
Benedetti said that it seemed that the measures announced by Italy were just for the people to see, and the most severe epidemic prevention policies of the Ministry of Health were also meaningless. And the countries he had passed by recently all adopted health and epidemic prevention screening systems, but Rome did not encounter health quarantine, let alone the staff not wearing masks, let alone protective clothing. Italian media pointed out that in terms of preventive measures against the spread of the new crown virus, not only Rome, but also many Schengen countries in the EU, the situation was basically the same. Most EU member states' airports did not even have the simplest temperature checks, and local residents hardly saw anyone wearing masks ? Italy Q&A
On the highway EP-2 from Barcelona to Zaragoza. Got punctured tyre at the rest stop and then continued on the highway. Someone in a yellow vest pretending to be a police officer helped us. Drove us to the side of the road and then robbed all our backpacks, big loss. Called the police, they said not to rest at that section's rest area, bad guys are watching. If you get a flat tyre, lock your car doors, call the police, wait for the rental car company to rescue you. This happened on January 29, 2020, hope more drivers see this and be careful to avoid it. If possible, don't drive. Flying is safer on that route ? Spain Q&A
Park on the roadside and check if there is a coin-operated machine. If there is, choose how many hours to park, insert the coins, print the ticket, and place it on the front windshield. Foreigners will check if there is anything printed on the windshield. If not, they may leave a parking violation notice. However, not all areas require parking fees, and the police may not always check. In urban areas, roadside parking generally requires a fee, but it is usually free on Saturdays and Sundays ? Austria Q&A
Thank you very much! My family's itinerary has changed, someone has something urgent to go back on the early morning flight of the 14th, so we will stay in Athens on the 13th, and the rooms in Athens on the 14th and 15th have already been booked and cannot be cancelled, so we will stay in Athens from the 13th to the 15th. So I want to change the itinerary for the 12th to be from Olympia - small train - Delphi - Temple of Poseidon sunset - Athens airport - Athens downtown accommodation, and tour Athens downtown on the 13th. If you feel that there's nothing to see in Athens in one day, can we drive from Athens to Meteora on the Athens highway for the whole day on the 14th ? Greece Q&A
Hello everyone, Starting from October 1, 2019, winter tires are required for most highways in British Columbia, Canada. According to the BC government website, these tires must be marked with the Mountain Snowflake symbol or the Mud and Snow (M+S) symbol. I'm wondering if all car rental agencies at Vancouver International Airport (YVR) provide vehicles with at least M+S tires (all-season tires) as standard equipment. Thank you for your replies ?

Friendly reminder to future car renters, be sure to inspect and take multiple photos when picking up the car. When I picked up the car, I found a damage (scratched wheel hub) that was not listed on the rental agreement. I asked them to confirm, and it turned out there were actually more damages, but they didn't care about the smaller ones. However, when I returned the car yesterday, they found another scratched wheel hub on a different tire, but I completely don't remember that tire being scratched. The key is that we took photos of all the other tires when picking up the car, except for that one which we missed... And the lighting was very dim when we picked up the car, so I really don't remember if we looked closely at that one ? Switzerland Q&A
