No need to call the police. If you have insurance, prepare to file a claim. If you don't have insurance, prepare to pay out of pocket.

Not serious, no need to have insurance.

Hello, I accidentally scraped a big rock and cracked the bottom of my car. When I return the car, will they deduct the repair cost directly from my card or will I only know the cost after they fix it when I return to my country? Do you know how much it might cost to repair? ? United Kingdom Q&A

By the way, I want to remind everyone that when we went to Stratford, we visited Shakespeare's birthplace and parked the car in a roadside parking lot, where we paid the fee at the automatic payment machine. When we returned, we found a parking ticket on the car. It turns out that some of the parking spaces in this parking lot belong to private individuals or businesses, and permission is required to park there. The £100 fine was issued by the parking company, which is really frustrating. I'm not sure if this kind of situation is mandatory to pay ? United Kingdom Q&A

Yesterday when renting a car at Sixt Heathrow, we originally booked a Skoda Superb Estate. When renting the car, the waiter said the car was too small and tried to upgrade us to a BMW. I refused. The car looked very good and the boot was big enough to fit all four of our suitcases. However, the car showed that the tyre pressure was not enough, so they gave us a Mercedes 220 instead. But the car screen showed that we had to add AdBlue when we drove more than 700 miles. The waiter said we didn't have to worry about it. After we started driving, the screen showed that we had to add oil the next time we refuelled. After driving for an hour, we arrived in Oxford and the car started to lose power. We couldn't even get it to go fast. We could only drive slowly. In this situation, is there something wrong with the car that we need to call for roadside assistance? Have any of you ever experienced this ? United Kingdom Q&A

By the way, do you have any violations? I receive an invoice letter from Sixt every few days, which are all administration fees for speeding violations. It turns out that each item is charged 36 pounds in administration fees! However, I don't know how the fine was sent to the domestic address.
