Pick up the car tomorrow morning. Could any brother who has rented tell me: Is the speedometer in London the same as in China, measured in kilometers per hour or miles per hour? Are the speed limits on the road here all measured in miles per hour? Therefore, if the car's speedometer is measured in kilometers per hour, wouldn't I have to convert it in my head ? United Kingdom Q&A
Can you tell me: I rented a car from AVIS in the UK and returned it on September 22nd. The 200-pound deposit has not been returned yet. Today I received a 30-dollar deduction, but because my credit card limit has been used up, the deduction was not successful. I don't know what the fee is. Will there be a problem if the deduction fails ? United Kingdom Q&A
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
Can anyone share experience renting diesel cars? Watching Sang's video, he mentioned that to reduce carbon emissions, diesel cars need to add urea. We have a 10-day trip and we didn't add any urea!

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
