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 ?

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

When can we usually receive a traffic ticket after returning the car? We have returned the car for 23 days, but the car rental company has not issued any penalty notices yet. Shouldn't it be safe to assume that we won't receive any? We drove very carefully throughout the trip ? United Kingdom Q&A
