If you pick up the car within the toll area, the car rental company will pay for it on your behalf. The bill will be settled when you return the car.

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. I would like to remind everyone that the English address you leave when renting a car must be accurate! I am now worried to death about this ? United Kingdom Q&A

This morning I went to the hotel to store my luggage. I stopped by the taxi parking line at the door to unload my luggage. The police came in less than two minutes. They gave me a ticket. I was standing next to the car at the time and couldn't even say I would leave right away. It's really unfortunate. I returned the car after storing the luggage. In the end, I lost a lot in the last few minutes. Could someone help me see how to pay the fine ? United Kingdom Q&A
