European Driving Guide

Due to work reasons, I often go abroad to participate in or participate in the conference (not the leader, but only to accompany the leadership), mainly in Germany and France in Europe, and every time we go to basically “walking”, that is, booking vehicles in advance online. The plane went directly to pick up the car, and then the entire journey by car, was very happy, and completely made it "to see the beautiful scenery want to stop parking, where to go where you want to go!" (Of course, you should be careful to see beauty, don't take it away.) Then let's share with you my own experience:
   First, the preparation phase : It is also the most important phase. Only when it is fully prepared, can we be able to do everything smoothly and have fun after going abroad. Otherwise, we will have a lot of trouble. There is still a sense of play, so we must pay attention to making full preparations. Work and be meticulous enough to make you happy for Europe.
1. Determine the main destination and travel route: Before you go abroad, first identify your main destination, such as Paris. Then open the map around this purpose and start to study the specific route. Pay attention to two points: A) Be sure to consider the round trip The location of the airport, leaving enough time for return, because once you rent a problem with the vehicle will consume a lot of time, to avoid delays in return; B) check the distance between the various secondary destinations, and to plan Stay overnight there.
2. Visa or Schengen: Needless to say, we all know the stakes. We only need to pay attention to the details of the information we need to prepare for the relevant websites. We must not be afraid of it. Only in this way can we ensure that all personnel on the trip are successfully signed. The point to note here is that since it is a self-driving tour, all meals and lodgings are entirely responsible for you. Therefore, when you submit the relevant visa information, you must also distinguish according to whether you are going abroad or have different materials for pure tourism. A) If you are exhibiting Then prepare relevant exhibiting materials, including the organizer invitation letter, booth confirmation, (exhibition online registration information confirmation form), payment voucher (must have a word display is your company's payment), business cards, unit guarantees, etc. Etc.; etc. B) If you are purely tourist, then you can go abroad with the tour group, in addition to the round-trip schedule to follow the tour group, other schedules all self-driving arrangements, but also a good deal, the specific costs I will talk about below.
3. Book the car: HERTZ, EUROPCAR, SIXTY, AVIS and other brands are all good choices. You can directly choose car reservation online (most of them have branch offices in Shanghai). You need to enter the credit card number, not directly from the card. Deductions are booked with credits. When you arrive at the car rental site, you are free to choose cash or credit card. The reason why we recommend these companies is because they can directly rent a car at the airport. It is very convenient, and the car is also on the way (you You have to return to the country by air.) This is where AVIS is the cheapest and service is almost the same. If you have problems with the car's breakdown, it will take more than 4 hours to resolve. (If your car can't drive away, then they usually send two Ministry of Transport, one to transport vehicles to garages, and another to pick-up and drop off passengers. Here, please remember that you must buy full insurance. Generally, paying more than 200 to 300 Euros is basically an all-risk, any There is no need to pay for the problems, including theft, vehicle breakdown, etc. One time we broke down on the road to Moulin Rouge, and the gearbox burned. In the evening, we couldn't wait for AVIS to wait for a taxi they had sent. We had to tell the company about the location of the vehicle's anchor and put the car. Locked back to the hotel, and the next day AVIS sent a taxi to pick up the new car at the airport's collar. Therefore, it is recommended that you rent cars as much as possible, although the price is more than 45% higher than the manual average, but it is safe!
4. Accommodation: If your plan is well-crafted, then you can book your entire stay in advance, but this is generally difficult to do, because once you see the scenery on the road, you have to delay the time and go shopping. Anything, we must disrupt the plan, so we must book accommodation problems in several key locations in advance. Here I recommend everyone to book hotels, you can find many cheap hotels, including driving directions, location and other important information, but It should be noted that many hotels on this site have special rooms. Once you have booked, some of them are irrevocable, and some of them can be revoked within seven days! (I have forgotten to cancel the hotel booking results of the full amount of charge, then I call the hotel to send a fax to be resolved, although all returned to me, but the impact of the exchange rate or lost more than 30 US dollars). If you want to live in a home, it is also a good choice (but you have to cook for yourself). First, it is cheap, and the second is good. Our main destination is to live in private houses. On the way, we usually use GPS to find hotels, and then give He asked for prices by phone, and sometimes he had to find suitable hotels at around 11 in the evening, and they were all very remote places in the countryside. However, they were very stimulating and could thoroughly understand local customs, but they must be familiar with how to use GPS.
   Second, foreign countries : Now that you have come to Charles de Gaulle airport, the first step: to find a car rental company, follow the instructions within the airport icon can be found (the car has a key above the car is a sign); show your booking orders, Do not forget to rent a GPS (?10 ~ 15 / day), this is a life-saving thing, the key to the entire self-driving tour is the GPS, and that can not go without her, so to debug at the scene and then leave (often found not to So that GPS). The second step: the lead car, usually in the parking lot outside the airport, is very convenient. You can find it by the number. After everything is ready to be stopped, there is an important issue that we must remember! ! ! ! After you have set your first destination, wait until the car leaves the parking lot and immediately stop using GPS to record the coordinates. Otherwise, you will have a lot of trouble to return to the airport. I encountered the selection of Charles de Gaulle airport on the return flight and sent us to Terminal 2. We almost missed the flight. Fortunately, my spare airline phone saved us. As a result, our team of three finally boarded the plane with the Jiang Wen family of three. Oh, it is also very interesting (it seems that the celebrities are the last boarding).
After you make it all up, increase the throttle and enjoy the beauty of Europe.
   Third, note :
1. Refueling should be prompt because many gas stations have closed at 9pm. Don't always think that it's too late to wait for the next gas station.
2. When no one is in the vehicle, try not to leave valuables. We have had the windows broken and stolen from the vehicle (Roman Vatican);
3. Prepare a small denomination of the euro, not 200 and 500, which is hard to use in Europe;
4. After the vehicle is used up, it must be filled with oil (full of oil when provided to you), returned after cleaning;
5. When using the GPS to select the line, the system will prompt you to choose the toll line (save time) or bypass the toll line (usually in rural roads, we all choose this line, driving in the European country road feeling too cool! !! Strongly recommended!!!) And we usually find a supermarket to buy some food before leaving the city, so that during the country road we will choose a few delightful roadside dining, photography, that is called "depth Tour it! And there are GPS, you can easily find a path into the open, willing to open wherever you go, GPS will constantly recalculate the line to go to the destination, cool it.
6. Supermarket bag is charged;
   Fourth, spend :
1. Car rental: 2500-3000/11 days / four-seater / automatic / diesel, including GPS and insurance, of course, the price of each company is different, there are many categories, you can go to the Internet to look up the budget; Manual half in 1800 ~ 2500 Not equal;
2. Oil costs: 800 to 1000/11 days/diesel, depending on whether it is manual or automatic, the price will be much lower;
3. Eating: 300 to 500/11 days;
4. Accommodation: 1000/10 days
5. Tickets: RMB4500~6000/person/round trip to Paris
In short, the four donkeys driving Europe are estimated to be around 6 to 75,000 yuan. Because of my relationship with my work time, I have introduced more than one. If anyone is interested, I can leave messages for mutual exchange and learning. I wish you all a good time and have a deep tour of Europe!
