I've been billed for damaging a rental car in Germany - do you have any advice?
During a business trip to Germany, some minor damage (scuffing of paintwork) occurred to my rental car. The chap at the returns office suggested it would probably polish out. Europcar has now sent me a bill for almost EU900 for what they say is 'percentage excess'. The letter is in English but the bill is in German and I have no clue how they came to this figure. Any advice would be gratefully received.

I think you can demand to see the bill from the body shop.
