The driver must be the main driver.

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

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

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

Thanks! I've been considering this question for a long time. The main reason is that it's not a small sum. The fast track does exist, such as Tower Bridge and St. Paul's, but it doesn't make much sense. The key question is, why can't they open the door earlier since the sun rises so early over there? ?

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

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
