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
Just want to ask if there are friends who understand the situation, after receiving the notification of the car rental company deducting 35 pounds, can the ticket only be physically returned to China? Or is there an email that can be paid directly online? Thank you ? United Kingdom Q&A
I was charged 107 pounds by HERTZ today. Does anyone know what this is for? If it's for an infraction, shouldn't there also be a management fee of more than 40 pounds? The car rental company didn't give me any email ? United Kingdom Q&A

Excuse me, is the fee of 316 for not returning the car with a full tank included in my rental contract? I asked the staff and they said it was a deposit, but later I forgot to confirm it and only found out later. I think it is an additional fee ? United Kingdom Q&A
Can you please teach me? Yesterday while driving on a narrow road, I scraped the rim of the wheel. I bought comprehensive insurance from the rental car company, which is Hetz. It says that tires are not covered, and I'm not sure if the rim is considered a tire. Will it be covered ? United Kingdom Q&A
I will arrive in London on September 20th and plan to drive a rental car from there on the 23rd. My planned route is: London - Oxford - Windsor Castle - Manchester - York - Windermere - Edinburgh - Skye - Edinburgh (September 30th). Is anyone traveling the same route ? United Kingdom Q&A
Can anyone who has been there or is back tell me, do you definitely need a Visa card with a chip when using a credit card in the UK? My car rental and hotel booking cards don't have chips, will they work ? United Kingdom Q&A
When renting a car, ask the rental company what kind of fuel to add. Sometimes it's written on the fuel cap, and if it's not written, it means you have to add it yourself. Absolutely do not add the wrong fuel.. ? United Kingdom Q&A
After the successful return of the vehicle, how many days will the deposit be refunded, if there are no accidents?If there are no traffic violations or scratches, how many days will it take for the car rental company to refund the deposit that has been charged ? United Kingdom Q&A
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
I will go to the UK and Ireland for a Road trip on September 19th.

Received a lot of fines for not paying bridge tolls while driving in the UK. I have no idea that the bridge in Liverpool is toll-free. I crossed it at most four times a day. The car rental company is also awesome, adding 36 pounds to each transaction. I'm also drunk. I just want to ask everyone, what will happen if this money is not paid ? 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
