In theory, no more than one month.

It's okay, it's usually pre-authorization, as long as it doesn't post, there's no need to ask specifically, just lock the credit limit.

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

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

When approaching a town from a rural road in the UK, there is usually a speed limit, such as 30 mph. Before the speed limit sign, there are three bars, then two bars, and finally one bar, reminding you that you are approaching the speed limit sign. The last one is the speed limit sign with a red 30 on the ground, and the roadsides are like streetlights. I wonder if they are used for speed cameras in the UK? I saw that UK drivers seemed to exceed the speed limit when passing the speed limit sign. Do you know ? United Kingdom Q&A
