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
By the way, I want to remind everyone that when we went to Stratford, we visited Shakespeare's birthplace and parked the car in a roadside parking lot, where we paid the fee at the automatic payment machine. When we returned, we found a parking ticket on the car. It turns out that some of the parking spaces in this parking lot belong to private individuals or businesses, and permission is required to park there. The £100 fine was issued by the parking company, which is really frustrating. I'm not sure if this kind of situation is mandatory to pay ? United Kingdom Q&A
Hello everyone! I arrived in Keelung at 8:30 am on July 14, and then I still need to go through customs, withdraw money, and apply for a mobile phone card, etc. I will return at 6:00 pm on the 26th. How should I arrange the rental car time? I plan to stay in Jiu Fen that night, and I'm afraid it's difficult to park in Jiu Fen. I plan to stay in Taipei on the 24th and 25th, and I plan to drive around the island clockwise. Thank you ? Taiwan(China) Q&A

We arrived at Moraine Lake at 5:09 am the day before yesterday and managed to find a parking space. I don't know when they closed the road, but it was closed before 7 am the day before yesterday, so we left Banff at 4:15 am the second day. There were many cars on the road heading to Moraine Lake. In order to get in, they really put in a lot of effort. We came out at 9 am in the morning, and there were many cars parked on the side of the road. When we arrived at the intersection, the road was also closed. The entry fee for each person on the bus was 6 Canadian dollars, and there were one or two hundred people in the queue. Seeing so many people, all interest was lost ? Canada Q&A
We picked up the car at Victoria Station and headed straight for Greenwich. When we got there, the parking lot was pretty spacious and we felt that parking here was free, so we didn't think much of it. After we came out, we found that we had received a ticket. I went online at https://parkingservices.itsvc.co.uk/RoyalParks/notices/TicketDetails.asp and input the Vehicle Registration Number and Excess Charge Notice, but they said You must type a Excess Charge Notice and a Vehicle Registration Number. Clearly my input was not wrong. It's been three days now, can someone please tell me what's going on? What should I do ? United Kingdom Q&A
Today we returned the car in Fira. We had agreed to return the car before 18:00 on the contract, but when we arrived at SIXT at 5:30, it was already closed. We had to walk to the next store to ask someone to borrow a phone to call at around 6 o'clock. They told us to park the car in the parking lot about 200 meters ahead, and then leave the car key under the seat without locking the car. It's too insecure, so I'm just going to leave the car there and return the key when the store opens at 9 o'clock tomorrow. Have you ever encountered this situation ? Greece Q&A

Hello everyone! I just visited Cinque Terre on July 29th. It was very difficult to find a parking space (I don't know if it's because it's the weekend). I suggest it's more convenient to take a train from La Spezia to visit Cinque Terre. Trains from La Spezia to Levanto run every half an hour and stop at all five villages. We drove to Riomaggiore first and bought tickets there for 16 euros per person, which allowed unlimited rides all day, including buses and restroom fees. Among the five villages, Manarola has the best scenery. It is said that the night view is also special, but we didn't plan our time well and left Cinque Terre before it got dark. We arrived around 10 am and left around 8 pm, spending about ten hours. We visited all five villages, and the scenery was quite similar. Monterosso, the northernmost village, is mainly a beach resort. Vernazza, Manarola, and Riomaggiore are similar, while Corniglia, after getting off the train, requires a bus ride to reach the top of the town. After 8 pm, the train back to La Spezia runs every hour. I hope my experience can be helpful to friends who are planning to visit Cinque Terre. ? Italy Q&A
We arrived in Paris on the 13th and stayed for 6 days, then drove to Fontainebleau, Lyon, Nice, Monaco, Genoa, Florence, and arrived in Rome yesterday. We were on edge the whole way... First of all, the temperature here is not hot. The wind is quite cold. We have to wear down jackets and woolen hats to keep warm. It is not recommended to drive in the city of Paris. It is difficult to find parking spaces on the road surface. The entrances and exits of underground parking lots are too narrow and difficult to find. Navigation mainly relies on the map built into the Apple phone, which is actually a collaboration with Tom Tom and is very accurate. The maps we downloaded at home are not very reliable, including Google Maps. We were misled several times, even guided to a snow-covered mountain road at night. Maybe it's because we didn't enter the address accurately. Remember to enter the postal code of the region. Google Play needs to be installed to have offline maps, so you must have wireless WiFi. The high-speed rail here is very fast. France is 130 and Italy is 110. I think this is the lowest speed. There will always be cars following me to drive. After all, the car company gave me a top-of-the-line Mercedes-Benz E200 station wagon, black German license plate, which is too eye-catching. This caused me to park in the underground garage and dare not park on the road, for fear that my car windows would be broken and my bag would be stolen. All overtaking must be done from the left side, and then the left lane must be given up. It is forbidden to occupy the left lane for a long time. Right-hand overtaking is strictly prohibited, which is very dangerous! Highways need to prepare some 50, 20, 10, 5, 2, 1, and 0.5 euro banknotes and coins in advance. Do not enter the electronic payment channel by mistake. France and Italy have many dark tunnels that are relatively narrow. Overtaking and turning do not slow down. It feels like you're driving a race car, so small cars are popular here. Their control performance is good. Remember not to rent big cars! My Mercedes-Benz is too long, and the city control is really a bit difficult. Those streets, tunnels, and parking lot passages are really narrow! Bring fewer luggage when you go out ? France Q&A
