Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Scotland car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours prior to picking up the car, many prepaid rentals offer a complete refund. However, not all are eligible for this, so it's important to read your rental agreement. Look over your itinerary for the finer details or visit our Customer Service Portal for more information.
What types of cars can I rent in Scotland?
Not too small yet not too big, compact cars are the top pick for many travellers to Scotland. Offering excellent mileage and easy parking and manoeuvrability, they're well-suited to exploring the city. A compact car is slightly roomier than an economy vehicle, so you can hit the road in a bit more comfort and style. Prefer something bigger? Check out our standard, intermediate and full-size options.
Where can I go on a road trip from Scotland?
There are so many adventures to be had in Scotland, but head further afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Book a set of wheels and you can discover the surrounding region at your own speed. Add these awesome places to your travel plan:

  • Valdosta is roughly 113 kilometres from Scotland. Top-rated tourist spots like Wild Adventures deserve a place on your must-see list here.
  • Around 113 kilometres away, Albany is also a favourite with travellers. Set aside time to take in Radium Springs Gardens while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love coming to this city.
  • Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens is situated 274 kilometres from Scotland and is one of the region's most spectacular nature spots. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the fresh air.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Scotland?
Drivers with a valid licence aged 21 and over can rent a vehicle in Scotland. While some companies may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21, this will come with additional fees. Find out what ages the young renter fee applies to, and associated costs, before reserving your ride. Outlets also restrict the types of cars available to young drivers. Higher limits are in place for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.
What do you need to rent a car in Scotland?
You'll need to present your driver's licence and a credit card in your name at the rental counter. Prior to pickup, check with your chosen rental company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of insurance.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Scotland?
You can rent a vehicle for a month or even longer in Scotland, so go on and extend your well-deserved holiday! Just enter your trip details into our long-term car rental deals page and find your ideal ride.
Where can I find a Scotland car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Scotland, we recommend checking the policies of the various car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be additional fees if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any surprises on pickup, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
