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 wonder if it's more cost-effective to add one in the store or try to add one online ? United Kingdom Q&A

Can anyone tell me if Enterprise doesn't provide a receipt after swiping the card? Today when I picked up the car, I swiped 720 pounds for the rental fee and deposit, but they didn't give me any receipt. Later, I saw the transaction reminder showing a deduction of 720 pounds with transaction type as consumption, which made me a bit uneasy. Would the car rental company deduct the deposit directly as a deduction ? 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

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
