We got a brand-new hybrid car with only 77 kilometers on the odometer and drove it across Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, and Austria using a Hong Kong driver’s license to complete the rental paperwork. We covered a total of 3,153 kilometers with an average fuel consumption of 4.8 liters per 100 kilometers. At the counter, €1,500 (€1,300 deposit + €200) was frozen on the card, and we paid €91 for the cross-border fee and Hungarian highway toll. The car return process was very straightforward; the staff checked the dashboard, inspected the car from all sides, opened all five doors for a quick check, and then had me sign off. Shortly after, I received the notification that the €1,300 deposit was released. The station wagon's trunk was very practical—it accommodated three 24-inch suitcases with room to close the lid, and for our trip, we packed two 24-inch suitcases, one 20-inch suitcase, and still had space for a backpack. The only downside was that the hybrid car had sluggish acceleration, lacked power for overtaking, and generated significant noise.
