Dépôt, France Road trip 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

Wow, you're really something. Could you please be responsible when answering others' questions? Do you think the European traffic violation system will break down by itself, or do you think the car rental company is so stupid that they can't find out who violated the rules and won't deduct the deposit and management fee? If you don't handle your own violations, the worst-case scenario is that the car rental company will deduct the fine and handling fee from the initial authorization, and if you have a lot of violations and don't pay, you can try it out ?
