Depends on who you ask. I'm American and went to the UK. I was looking to pick up my rental car, you know, so I could drive on the wrong side of the road and found a sign that read, "rental car collection." I had to ask a local who was doing the collecting, because I don't speak English. " If I was collecting the car, it's a pick up. If they were collecting the car it's a drop off. So....

I also butcher German and Spanish pretty well.
