I brought my driver's license and the free international driving permit translation certificate from Zuzuche, but I didn't get the German sworn translation certificate. As a result, the German car rental company required me to take full insurance or I wouldn't be able to rent the car. I was in a hurry and didn't have time to argue, so I ended up paying over 200 euros for insurance for 6 days while the car rental itself was just over 150 euros! Last time I used rentacars.com in Germany and paid directly on the website, then went to sign the contract and got the keys without anyone asking about the sworn translation certificate or insurance.
The store was terrible; they seemed to give Chinese customers a hard time. The Chinese person in front of me also had to pay extra. They refused to accept Chinese translations, KIDA international driving permits, and the international permits provided by the rental platform. It wasn't an issue with the translations but rather their way of forcing you to buy full insurance. If the license was not valid, they shouldn't have rented the car to us. However, they required us to buy insurance after renting the car, indicating that they lure customers with low car prices on the website and create various issues during pickup. I often rent cars with an international license in Europe and the US without problems. In Germany, I've never had issues with other companies, but this store caused trouble the first time I tried to rent.
The staff was very enthusiastic and patient in explaining. Although there was no Chinese service, the lady at the counter tried her best to explain in a way that even my poor English could understand the gist. However, I was slightly dissatisfied because the car I selected was not available, and I was given a car of a lower grade.
