I rented from Sixt for 11 days. When picking up the car, I paid 480.9 dollars, including a 300 pound deposit and insurance fees. When returning the car on the 4th, I checked it over and said it was okay, without signing a receipt. Yesterday, it showed that the 480.9 dollar payment was cancelled, and an additional 7.95 pound charge was incurred. I don't know what it's for ? 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

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

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
