Prepare the driver's license information they need to send it over, they will help arrange the sworn translation, take the translation and their original driver's license, and give it to the staff when picking up the car, you can get the car smoothly, convenient and efficient! It should be noted that: 1. This translation needs to be carried with you at all times during the whole driving process2 As long as it is a German-speaking country. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This translation can be used, for example3 The translation oath usually takes about a week4 Under normal circumstances, the translation can be used multiple times, but the German embassy often changes the regulations, if you still need to go to the German-speaking area after a year, it is better to re-issue the certificate in case you meet together. The oath fee is 315 yuan/time, and the re-issuance fee is 50 yuan/time.

Since you are going to self-drive, it is necessary to understand the road rules of the destination country in advance. 1. Traffic rules 1) If there is no dedicated turning lane, you cannot turn right at a red light. If there is, the red light can turn right. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu have a lot of say in this, referring to some statements on the Internet.

Strictly follow the rules, stop at a red light no matter what. As a result, I stopped at a red light on the right-turn lane, and because it was the first car, I was honked by the vehicle behind for the only time in the whole process. 2) German motorways, where there are no speed limit markings, there is no speed limit, and speeding more than 2 kilometers starts to be counted as speeding.

3) European countries other than Germany have a speed limit, basically 120 or 130, please be careful when entering the country. There are also those who enter the mountains and immediately have a speed limit of 100. 4) Reflective vests should be prepared in the car, which must be placed within the driver's reach. 5) It is strictly forbidden to overtake from the right side on the highway, unless it is a high-speed upper and lower entrance.

The inside lane is only for overtaking, and the car returns to the outside lane immediately after overtaking. 6) On the highway, if the car in front of you, or the convoy, suddenly slows down significantly, the driver should turn on the double jump lights after braking to remind the car behind that there is a large slowdown. The Germans have a habit of turning on the brake lights of the car in front if they do not slow down sharply.

I also tap the brakes to transmit any possible slowdowns to the car behind. 7) It is forbidden to use high beams at any time. If there is no car on the opposite side and no car in front, you can naturally turn on the high beams, and once there are cars, pedestrians, bicycles, etc. in any direction, you must immediately turn off the high beams. 8) You need to turn on your running lights during the day.

9) Very few people in Germany turn on their high beams to indicate that they want to overtake, which is considered very rude (they don't turn on their high beams at night on mountain roads, cattle). Generally, the overtaking light, that is, the left turn light, keeps flashing and flashing, and if the car in front sees it, it will generally let it. A flashing of the high beam indicates that the other person is ahead of the curve.

Or remind you that you should turn on your lights, not turn on your high beams, or if you are traveling in the direction of a police check or speed check, etc. 10) In front of the crossing line, pedestrians have priority. 11) Vehicles in the roundabout have the right of way, do not need to use the turn signal when entering the roundabout, and use the turn signal when leaving the roundabout

12) The Germans do have a bit of a tenacious mindset, and they seem to really think that as long as you drive along the current main road without turning, you don't need to be prompted. Therefore, when you encounter a fork in the road and do not see the road signs, do not panic, just drive along the current main road, which is very important when driving at high speed!

13) Be patient when going from the small road to the big road. Basically, the car on the main road will not give way to the car on the small road, so if you turn right onto the main road, you can accelerate as long as you see that there is no car in this direction, but if you turn left onto the main road, you have to wait until there are no cars on both sides to accelerate, of course, there are also well-wishers who will let you go.

14) Lifting all restrictions and prohibiting overtaking: Most of the common lifting signs in China are used to lift the speed limit and lift the ban on overtaking. And with the domestic traffic lights: by and large, the German traffic lights are the same as at home.

It's just that when the red light turns green, there is one more yellow light on, which is to give the driver a reaction time. 15) The yellow diamond means you have the right of way, and the red inverted triangle means you don't have the right of way, so slow down and give way. If you come across a yellow diamond sign at an intersection, it means that you have the right of way.

You can rest assured that you can pass the intersection boldly and quickly, and cars from other directions will not rush out to rush out and rush with you. If you encounter a red inverted triangle sign at an intersection, you do not have the right of way, and you must slow down and stop when you reach the intersection, look left and right to make sure that it does not affect the passage of other vehicles before passing.

There are many traffic signs in Germany, but the two mentioned above are the most common and the most important to memorize before traveling. In Europe, don't take chances, and be sure to stop and check the road conditions when you come across this sign. Because a car with the right of way will not be mentally prepared to avoid you who suddenly rush out!

Another symbol that is very similar to the red inverted triangle is the STOP logo. This sign is very common in Europe and even in the United States. When you see this sign, you must stop, look left and right, and make sure that it is safe in both directions before you can move forward. It's still the same sentence, don't take chances, if you are hit by a car with the right of way, it must be your full responsibility!

Yellow diamond, right of way sign red inverted triangle, no right of way, need to give way sign 2, speed limit & cost Germany: 30 kilometers in residential areas, 60 kilometers in urban areas, 70 kilometers in suburbs, and 100 kilometers on national highways. About one-third of highways have no speed limit. Speed limits on some highways are determined by on-site signs.

Generally about 130 km. All motorways in Germany are free for ordinary cars. The general speed limit is 120 kilometers on highways, 80 kilometers on national highways, and 50 kilometers in urban areas. The motorway is tolled, there are no toll booths, and the Vignette is used. Most of the rental vehicles in China are equipped with highway passes.

If entering from a neighbouring country, it can be purchased at border petrol stations or service areas. The price of the pass is determined by the period of validity and costs around €880 for a 10-day pass. The pass is to be placed behind the windshield for inspection. PS: When you get a high-speed ticket, remember to check if the start date of the punch is the same day!

3. Parking There are generally not many parking spaces in German cities, and most of them need to be paid (some periods of time may be free on rest days), and there are generally two types of such parking spaces. One is that there is no railing, and there is a ticket vending machine in this area after entering, and you can consciously pay for change when you estimate the time of parking.

(Some also accept coins only, which are a must-have when parking in Germany.) Then put the printed ticket and the on-board timing card in a conspicuous place in the car (usually under the front glass). These meters tend to be cheaper, and if they are on the side of the road in urban areas, they are preferred by locals in Europe.

Therefore, it is not easy to find a metered parking space in the city. Be careful: some parking lot payment machines are shared with the parking card and bank card (the parking card and bank card are the same size), and the banknote has another larger entrance, don't make a mistake. There is also a type with railings, such as an underground parking garage.

As in China, take a magnetic card (paper) at the entrance, but pay attention when you come back to pick up the car, Germany labor is expensive, and no one charges at the exit. You have to find the automatic toll collection machine first, insert the magnetic card into it, it will automatically calculate the time and cost of your parking, after paying the money, the magnetic card exits, and then you go to the parking space to pick up the car and go out.

Insert the magnetic card at the exit, in addition, there can be a short period of time from the payment to the final card exit, and the actual experience is about 20 minutes or so The interval is OK, and I don't know if it will be an important payment after a long time. This kind of garage empty car is often the most guaranteed, and the fee is more expensive. It should be noted that:

In Germany, Free does not mean that parking is free, but that there are free spaces, and Gratis means free. Fourth, refueling gas stations in Germany are self-service, according to the oil is divided into diesel and various grades of gasoline, don't make a mistake. Pick up the fuel gun, press the trigger and buckle it, rest it on the tank, and it will automatically stop when it is full.

You can also hold the gun all the time, pull the trigger, choose how much to add, and release it when you feel like it's about the same. The machine will show a total amount, just tell the cashier at the convenience store in the gas station the number of the meter, they will naturally make a bill and pay according to the order. Cash or credit cards are acceptable.

There is also a kind of gas station that is fully self-service, which means that there are no people who even charge for it. It is said that you need to insert a valid bank card first, and most of them only accept credit cards with IC chips, and enter the amount before you can use the fuel gun to refuel. This kind of refueling is very troublesome, so try to find a semi-self-service gas station to refuel.

The price of oil in Germany is a little more expensive, but it is very limited, usually at 3%, and it is not worth entering the country specifically for refueling. It is said that the price of oil in Germany fluctuates during the week, and will rise by about 20% on Friday and Saturday, because some car owners can be reimbursed by the fuel company, and the family goes out on a weekend outing after refueling, and the bus is used privately.

So when driving in Germany, you should try to avoid refueling on Fridays and Saturdays. In Germany, there are supermarkets at basically gas stations, you can buy breakfast, lunch and dinner, all kinds of snacks and water, just like Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's convenience stores here, open 24 hours, and toilets generally need to be charged separately. in Germany.

The gasoline types are divided into SuperPlus (i.e., 98 gasoline), Super (i.e., 95 gasoline), some gas stations also offer Super-E10 (a 95 environmentally friendly gasoline), and diesel is called Diesel. When picking up your car from the rental company, be sure to find out what type of fuel the vehicle is in, which is usually written on the small door of the fuel tank, if not.

Then look for information such as car manuals and rental contracts. There are gas stations in Germany, diesel cars and trucks, self-service refueling to see clearly, if you meet someone to help you clean the glass when refueling, just give a tip of 1 euro. When Xueluo and Liu Jingshu were in Germany, diesel basically fluctuated around 105-110 euros/liter.

5. Common German words for self-drivingAutobahn - motorway Einfahrt/Ausfahrt - entrance/exit Einbahnstra?e - one-way street Verbot! - Ban! Tankenstelle - petrol station Benzin - petrol Diesel - diesel parken - parking ParkenVerboten! - No parking Freihalten! - Keep it open!

Unlike in Germany, the prohibition of overtaking is indicated by a red mark. zentrum-centralost-eastnord-northsud-south six, navigation software this time the mobile phone is equipped with Google Maps and Tantu (through renting a car to know), but also with a rental car free rental GPS navigation, can be described as foolproof.

The navigation of renting a car rental has Chinese prompts, which is very easy to use and reliable, but because it is relatively bulky, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu did not find a suitable place to place it in the car, and they all relied on Xueluo to hold it all the way. So I held it for a day, and then I gave it up directly. Personal habit problem, Xueluo thinks it's enough to rely on the navigation of the mobile phone.

Generally, the two maps of navigation exploration and Google catch which one to use, both are very easy to use, but they have advantages and disadvantages. The biggest advantage of Tantu is that it can be used in China, and the parking lot of some hotels and scenic spots can be entered into Tantu in advance and stored, and the route can be calculated.

When you get to the local area, you can click on it directly, so you don't have to spend time searching and typing, saving time. The interface is also very friendly, easy to operate, very user-friendly, and not weak in front of the old navigation Google. The probability of using it throughout the process is relatively high. The disadvantage is that the navigation near the destination ends automatically, and you must know that those small towns in Europe are very close to each door.

It's similar and hard to tell, if you don't navigate to the real door, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu still don't know each other, because of this defect, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu have had to go around in circles helplessly several times. The biggest advantage of Google compared to Tantu is that it can prompt the congestion on the road section and is very sensitive. It may not be needed in the open mountains of the south.

But the proximity to Frankfurt and the city is very useful. The disadvantage is that sometimes there is east, west, etc. in the prompt, and people with a bad sense of direction don't know which direction they are referring to, and the interface is not friendly to the pathfinder. When it comes to local food, compared to the countries I've visited, the food in Germany can be described as pitiful.

Nothing more than beer, pork knuckle, sausages, dumpling, kink bread, etc. Germans love pork, an ingredient that they can eat in different ways, steamed, roasted and fried. In Germany, there is a saying "lucky pig", and the pig is a symbol of luck, so it is understandable that they are inseparable from pork.

In addition, when the dragon people get there, they will be at a loss to see the shortage of vegetables there. If you want to eat vegetables, you can usually only eat sauerkraut in roast pork knuckle, or cold and repeated vegetable salad. Xueluo feels that Germany and the northeast of Xueluo are extremely similar in terms of eating, probably at the same latitude, and the tastes of the products and people are also similar.
