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
Urgent question, seeking advice from group members. Currently in England, I rented a compact SUV Opel Mokka X. Can anyone tell me if it runs on diesel or petrol? I forgot to ask when picking up the car. Thank you in advance ? United Kingdom Q&A
Thanks. Just called RuRu: two options, one is to cancel now and rebook in North Korea, or go to the store to propose an extension. See if it's possible. Well, I won't bother anymore. Propose an extension when picking up the car at the store. If not, that's it ? United Kingdom Q&A
We will be in London from 25-27 April, then self-drive up north to Manchester, Newcastle, Lake District, Edinburgh, and back to London on 8 May for another 3 days. Anyone coming together ? United Kingdom Q&A
On November 4th, pick up the car, from London to Edinburgh, want to play in Cambridge and York on the way, want to know if there is enough time? Does anyone know the approximate time? I checked the map and it takes more than 7 hours. Are there any recommended attractions in Cambridge and York ? United Kingdom Q&A
Hello, I accidentally scraped a big rock and cracked the bottom of my car. When I return the car, will they deduct the repair cost directly from my card or will I only know the cost after they fix it when I return to my country? Do you know how much it might cost to repair? ? United Kingdom Q&A
Okay, I rented from Sixt at Heathrow once. In contrast, Europcar charged me arbitrarily. I bought an intermediate insurance, and I wouldn't have to pay if the repair cost was less than 300 pounds if I crashed. However, I found that the left rear lampshade was damaged when I returned the car, but the lamp was still intact. They deducted nearly 400 pounds from me afterwards. Would it cost nearly 700 pounds to replace a new lampshade? Nonsense ? United Kingdom Q&A
Have you driven with kids by yourself? I just read the travel guide and found out that kids under 1.35 meters must use a car seat. I thought a booster seat would be enough and planned to bring one by myself. But I didn't order a car seat in the order. I wonder if it's more cost-effective to add one in the store or try to add one online ? United Kingdom Q&A
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
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
By the way, I want to remind everyone that when we went to Stratford, we visited Shakespeare's birthplace and parked the car in a roadside parking lot, where we paid the fee at the automatic payment machine. When we returned, we found a parking ticket on the car. It turns out that some of the parking spaces in this parking lot belong to private individuals or businesses, and permission is required to park there. The £100 fine was issued by the parking company, which is really frustrating. I'm not sure if this kind of situation is mandatory to pay ? United Kingdom Q&A
Hi, we are going to send our child to UK to study in August. Which car rental company is the most convenient at Heathrow airport? We need to rent for 10 days. We will arrive London at 20:00 on Aug 26th and need to stay at the airport for one night. It would be great if the car rental company is near the hotel, we can walk to it. Please help. Thank you very much ? United Kingdom Q&A
What do you think is the most secure time to pick up the car in advance ? United Kingdom Q&A
Two people will travel to UK by train and bus in June. We found that there are fewer bus services in Cotswold, which is not very convenient. We will stay in Moreton-in-Marsh on June 19th and plan to visit Broadway, Stow-on-the-Wold and other small towns on June 20th. We will stay in Bourton-on-the-Water that night. Do you want to share a car and travel around together ? United Kingdom Q&A
