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

I originally drove on the highway in southern France. Each section had a different toll. Some had toll booths where you had to take a card, while others required you to pay first without a card. Look at the signs above the toll booths to see if you need to take the ETC lane or the regular lane with the toll sign. There was a toll to get to Paris, and there was a toll on one section of the highway to Monaco. There were no tolls on the highways in southern France, but I remember there was an automatic machine at Nice airport that could exchange paper money for coins. I think the toll machines automatically counted the coins you put in, so you didn't have to count them yourself. There were a lot of one-way streets in France, especially in small towns, and the roads were very narrow. Also, always lock your car doors when you leave it, because we were waiting at a red light on a road in Gannat and someone opened our trunk. Fortunately, we had read in the guidebook to lock the car doors before getting out, so we didn't get stolen. This time, we picked up the car in Paris and drove to the Loire Valley ? France Q&A

How to refuel when driving in France? In France, gas stations are widely available and easy to find, especially in urban areas. Most gas stations are open 24 hours a day, although some may have limited hours on weekends or holidays. To refuel your car, simply pull up to a pump and insert your fuel card or pay with cash. Gasoline in France is sold in liters, with unleaded gasoline (essence) being the most common type. It's important to note that French gas stations do not typically provide self-service fueling, so you will need to ask an attendant to pump your gas for you. Additionally, many gas stations require payment before pumping the fuel, so be sure to have cash or a credit card ready. If you're unsure about where to find a gas station, you can use a GPS or map app on your phone to locate one nearby. Additionally, many French highways have gas stations located along the side of the road, so keep an eye out for these as you drive ? France Q&A

Do you need a mobile phone card when traveling to Iceland recently? We bought it at the information center of Reykjavik City Hall, a SIM card from Siminn operator, with 1G of traffic. We bought a Vodafone card on Taobao before going abroad, thinking that maybe this SIM card from Siminn would have signal where Vodafone has no signal, and spent 1900 Icelandic krónur on it. But since the card bought on Taobao was not used up in the end, this one was not used. If anyone wants it, 90 yuan including shipping. And we also include the remaining hundreds of megabytes of traffic from the Vodafone card we bought on Taobao, but the validity period of the Vodafone card seems to be approaching, only those who start recently can catch up and use it. Friends who need it can message me ? Iceland Q&A
