Is it difficult to find a car rental company at Heathrow Airport in London? Do I need to take a shuttle bus like in the United States to get to the rental company's store ?

I previously rented a car there, and at that time I rented from the sixt car rental company. After my flight arrived, I found the sixt service counter inside the terminal, but there was no one on duty. There was a phone nearby, and when I picked it up, someone would tell you that there was a car outside to take you to the pick-up point, which felt quite convenient.

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

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

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
