I estimate that it is not possible to rent. If it is possible, don't rent. UK roads are narrow, cars are fast, and they drive on the right and go left. Traffic habits are very different from those in China, especially when turning left to look at straight, entering the roundabout is completely different from the driving habits in China, and it is easy to have an accident.

You can't rent a car if you haven't been driving for a year in the UK. It is recommended that you have at least three years of driving experience for Road trip in the highlands.

Okay, I rented from Sixt at Heathrow once. In contrast, Europcar charged me arbitrarily. I bought an intermediate insurance, and I wouldn't have to pay if the repair cost was less than 300 pounds if I crashed. However, I found that the left rear lampshade was damaged when I returned the car, but the lamp was still intact. They deducted nearly 400 pounds from me afterwards. Would it cost nearly 700 pounds to replace a new lampshade? Nonsense ? United Kingdom Q&A
