Yes, they do. I didn't find out until *after* my trip. I thankfully did not have an issue, so crisis averted. Rental car companies ban their cars to be used on "circular toll ways"... Which there is only one, haha.

So I'd also reiterate downloading maps for offline usage.

I found out the hard way that my Garmin nuvi (2007) didn't have the maps to get me to my destination in Germany when I landed. I was in a rush to get there (2 days notice) and didn't think to download the maps. I arrived at Frankfurt at 7am and needed to be in a meeting at 9am in Waldorf (about an hour south). Luckily my rental car had navigation, but the navigation was in German... Took me 20 minutes of playing around to switch it to english. No smart phone, no maps, and a new country. Mildly exciting, but equally scary. All I knew was to head south and I vaguely figured out that sord meant south. Made it there with time to spare thanks to the parts of the autobahn where it was speed limitless.
