Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Aberdeen car reservation?
No need to stress. You should be given all of your money back if you cancel more than six hours ahead of pickup time. Your confirmation contains details about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all reservations will receive a refund though, so you may want to scan your car's rental agreement.

Whatever suits your style! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you're with the family, or level up to a premium for sleek sophistication. Or, choose an economy vehicle — the most popular rental in Aberdeen. Affordable and with great mileage, they're ideal for solo travellers, couples or anyone else who doesn't need a whole lot of room. They're especially suited to city driving. Getting into narrow parking spots will be a snap!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Aberdeen?
Aberdeen rules state drivers must be at least 18 before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and stricter rental conditions. Many outlets impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty vehicles.

While requirements can differ between rental car outlets, the two things you'll need are a valid driver's licence and a credit card. You don't need to take out insurance with your rental company. However, proof of alternative coverage may be necessary.
What side of the road do you drive on in Aberdeen?
If you're renting a car in Aberdeen, you'll need to stick to the left. Be aware that the driver's seat will also be on the opposite side to what you're familiar with. Consider booking a car with automatic transmission to make things a little easier.
