The staff at the rental location were quite professional, patiently answering all my questions about vehicle operation. The car was relatively new and easy to handle, which was very helpful for me as a first-time driver of a right-hand drive car. He didn't try to sell me anything, but I decided to add full insurance at the store for peace of mind. It wasn't expensive, just over 100 pounds for 7 days. Because the rural roads in the UK are narrow, I initially wasn't used to it and scratched the wheels. When I returned the car, the staff said they would hold my 500-pound deposit and refund it after the insurance claim. The refund was processed in a few days. Traveling through the Cotswolds without a car would be inconvenient; the most enjoyable part of my trip to the UK was driving through the countryside.

Good!

Salisbury is quite a rural area, so there weren't many customers.

Overall, I feel that Company E is quite large and offers standardized services. I initially booked to pick up the car at the Hyde Park location, but since my accommodation changed to near Tate Modern, after negotiating with Company E, their head office agreed to change the pick-up location to the Waterloo branch. Of course, due to our broken English during communication, there was almost a misunderstanding. The Hyde Park branch thought we wanted to cancel the booking, and we had to ask a friend to help us translate to convey our intention to change the pick-up location. This was all due to our poor English. On August 27th, we went to the store to pick up the car, which was initially confirmed as a Buick GL8, but we were given a luxurious Volkswagen Sharan from 2014, which was in great condition. The pick-up process was very simple, similar to renting a car in China. We first verified the order and documents, signed some forms, and then inspected the car at the parking lot, checking the fuel gauge, odometer, lights, and both the interior and exterior condition. Everything was fine, and we received the car. The entire process took about 20 minutes. During the handover, the pretty female receptionist also reminded us of some important points. After that, it was all good to go!
