Hi, will the car rental company tell you what kind of oil the car uses when you pick it up? How do you express that the car uses diesel or gasoline in English ?

There's writing on the key ring, whether it's unleaded gasoline or diesel. The green gun in the gas station is gasoline, and the black one is diesel. Most gas stations only have one kind of gasoline, regular, and some also have super, high-octane gasoline, which may be equivalent to China's 95 or 98 gasoline.

Regarding the prepayment of fuel issue, I want to give a hint to the friends who will rent a car later. I just saw a car friend above who said something not quite right. When we paid the prepayment for fuel, we were told to pick up the car with a full tank and return it with a full tank. However, when we returned the car, we were informed that because we returned it with a full tank, the deposit would be refunded. But in reality, it did not happen. We sent an email to the car rental company Sixt to confirm this, and the reply was that after prepaying the fuel fee, it is not necessary to return the car with a full tank, and returning it with a full tank will not result in a deposit refund. (It's just a way for them to keep your money in the end.) As long as you have signed the contract, they will insist on it. (Regarding what the car friend above said, to put it bluntly, it's just a matter of not being good at English. I really want to roll my eyes at this. ️ They are lumping everyone's different situations together.) ? United Kingdom Q&A

What people often talk about is what is needed to pick up a car. In fact, for car rental companies, they don't really care about your qualifications. As long as you pay the rent and buy insurance, they will hand over the car to you. The important thing is, what kind of documents are legally valid according to the law? Otherwise, if there is an accident or claim, if your documents are not legal, there is nothing you can do. Does anyone have an answer? Thank you ? United Kingdom Q&A

Hello everyone, yesterday I went to pick up a car. I rented an Audi A4 station wagon. The car rental shop kept asking me to upgrade to an off-road vehicle, the X5, saying that the road conditions in the Scottish Highlands were poor and that the A4 had too low of a chassis. I didn't take their advice. Can any friends who have driven in Scotland tell me, what are the road conditions like, and is an off-road vehicle absolutely necessary? We're leaving tomorrow, thank you ? 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.

We picked up the car at Victoria Station and headed straight for Greenwich. When we got there, the parking lot was pretty spacious and we felt that parking here was free, so we didn't think much of it. After we came out, we found that we had received a ticket. I went online at https://parkingservices.itsvc.co.uk/RoyalParks/notices/TicketDetails.asp and input the Vehicle Registration Number and Excess Charge Notice, but they said You must type a Excess Charge Notice and a Vehicle Registration Number. Clearly my input was not wrong. It's been three days now, can someone please tell me what's going on? What should I do ? United Kingdom Q&A
