What Should I Know About Refueling A Rental Car In Taiwan?

Most rental cars in Taiwan use 95 octane unleaded gasoline. Gas stations are typically full-service, where an attendant will fill the tank for you. You can pay with cash or credit card. Remember to return your rental car with a full tank of gas, as most agencies at PMV operate on a 'full-to-full' policy to avoid extra charges.

Stuttgart Car Rental Guide

Essential driving tips and FAQ for renting and driving in Stuttgart, Germany

Can I drive with my US license alone, or do I need an International Driving Permit (IDP)?

US licenses are technically valid in Germany, but an IDP is strongly recommended—and often required by rental agencies. Get one from AAA before departure ($20 USD). Without it, you may face delays or be turned away. The IDP translates your license into 10 languages including German.

Is the Autobahn really unlimited speed? What are the real speed limits around Stuttgart?

About 70% of Autobahn has no general speed limit, but sections near Stuttgart often have 120 km/h (75 mph) or 130 km/h (81 mph) limits—posted clearly. Rural B-roads typically max at 100 km/h, urban areas at 50 km/h. Speed cameras are common and fines are steep (€40-600+ for violations).

Do I need winter tires or snow chains in Stuttgart during winter?

Yes—winter tires are legally required when conditions demand it (snow, ice, or frost on roads). Fines up to €80 and possible accident liability denial if caught without them. December through March is high-risk. Snow chains are recommended for routes into the Black Forest or Swabian Alps. Most rental agencies offer winter tire packages for €10-25/day.

How do I pay for tolls and vignettel in Germany?

The Toll Collect system handles truck tolls (not relevant for rental cars), but scenic routes like the B-500 (Schwarzwaldhochstraße) require a Vignette (available at gas stations, ~€8-13 for 10 days). Many rental cars come with a Toll Pass unit pre-installed (daily fee ~€3-6). Cash and credit cards are accepted at all gas stations and most toll booths.

How expensive is parking in Stuttgart, and where should I avoid?

Downtown Stuttgart parking runs €2-4/hour, daily maximums up to €30. Parkhäuser (parking garages) are your best bet—look for P+R facilities near S-Bahn stations to save. Street parking in residential areas requires a Parkschein (parking disc) from local shops. Avoid parking on Sundays or holidays unless in designated zones—fines up to €35.

I'm 23. Will I pay a young driver surcharge, and how much?

Yes, drivers under 25 typically face a young driver surcharge of €20-35/day from most rental agencies. Some premium/luxury vehicles require drivers to be 25+. At 23, you'll have access to most standard vehicles but budget an extra €140-245/week for the surcharge. Compare rates at Sixt, Enterprise, and local agencies—Sixt often has lower young driver fees.
