Based on your proficiency in left-hand driving, in general, in the UK, you just need to enter and exit roundabouts, pay attention to pedestrians having absolute priority and priority in road rights.

My husband was familiar with it after driving for about half a day. Fortunately, he started on the highlands where there were fewer cars, fewer traffic lights, and more highways. When he got to the southern city, it became a bit more troublesome with speed limits, traffic lights, and more people and cars.

At first, I was not used to it, but after a while, it got better.

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

Thank you, madam. It will take some time to get used to driving on the right side in my home country. Also, it's true that large seven-seater cars don't come in automatic transmission. I'm hoping to upgrade to an automatic transmission by paying a little extra. And I'm also wondering if there aren't many cars in the UK, so starting out shouldn't be too difficult, right ?

When approaching the roundabout, zoom in on the navigation page, and it will be very clear which exit to take! If you make a mistake, never exit, just keep turning until you get it right! We spent a lot of time circling around the roundabout near Heathrow Airport on the first day and missed visiting Cambridge. Now I feel a bit regretful. Later, when we went around the roundabout again, it was a piece of cake ? 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. 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
