I heard that it's like this because there are a lot of gales in the UK, and umbrellas are often blown about, so it's more convenient to wear raincoats.

One day sees four seasons. It's very inconvenient to carry an umbrella. Sometimes it rains for two minutes and then stops, or it's a gale. It's better to wear a windbreaker. Many people in Britain don't carry umbrellas.

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 starting a Road trip journey, be sure not to deviate too far to the left. It is recommended to use a reference point such as the instrument panel or a point on the front hood to align with the markings on the road, and then frequently check the vehicle's position using the rearview mirror to ensure that it is centered ?

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? ?

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.
