Hello everyone, yesterday I went to pick up a car. I rented an Audi A4 station wagon. The car rental shop kept asking me to upgrade to an off-road vehicle, the X5, saying that the road conditions in the Scottish Highlands were poor and that the A4 had too low of a chassis. I didn't take their advice. Can any friends who have driven in Scotland tell me, what are the road conditions like, and is an off-road vehicle absolutely necessary? We're leaving tomorrow, thank you ? 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
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
Parked in York Park for two nights, paid more than 20 pounds when picking up the car, and then received a parking ticket of 100 pounds. The parking lot asked for payment again to pick up the car. Why did I get deducted again? Has anyone encountered this before ? United Kingdom Q&A
Hi, I will rent a car at Heathrow Airport and go around the island first, and then return to London for the last two days.

Hello, I had originally booked the car return at Avis at the train station tomorrow morning, but now I want to return it earlier tonight. I searched and found that Avis at the nearby train station closes at 6pm. In this case, what should I do if I want to return the car earlier ? United Kingdom Q&A

Can I pick up the car ahead of time from AVIS? I reserved it for 9:30 in the morning. I wonder if I can pick it up around 8:30 or 9 o'clock. Thank you ? United Kingdom Q&A
I have a question: According to the regulations, entering the London congestion charge zone before 7:00 in the morning or after 18:00 in the evening does not require payment. If I enter after 18:00 and return the next day at 7:00 from my residence to a nearby car dealership, do I still have to pay the congestion charge ? United Kingdom Q&A
Is there anyone here? I just received a text message from the car rental company saying I spent over 200 pounds. What does it mean? It's so late at night and the car has been parked in the hotel parking lot for a long time. What fee is the car rental company deducting from me ? United Kingdom Q&A
