Edinburgh Car Rental Guide

  • Are you dreaming of wandering through the enchanting streets of Edinburgh? Securing a car rental service can be a breeze if you know what to look for. Don't let car rental companies intimidate you with their insurance upsell tactics. Before you commit, double-check whether your credit card provides rental car insurance coverage. If it doesn't, consider adding insurance to your rental for peace of mind on your Scottish adventure.
  • Alternatively, why not embrace the charm of local transport? Hop on a train and glide into the heart of the city. From there, a quick tram ride will whisk you away to the iconic St. Andrew Square. If you're behind the wheel, the airport's car rental pickup is convenient, and from there, navigating to the city center is a snap. Once you've arrived, the freedom of Edinburgh is yours – drive to the destinations of your choice and let the city's magic unfold around you.
  • Traveling with your little ones? Take note: Not every car rental agency in Scotland welcomes young drivers with open arms. To rent a car, you must be at least 21 years of age. Be aware that some companies might add a surcharge for younger motorists. And it's not just the young – check if there are additional fees for senior drivers too. When traveling in a group, it's wise to nominate a designated driver. If you're with friends or family, why not make the selection fun? A game of rock, paper, scissors or drawing straws could decide who takes the wheel!
  • Ready to discover the breathtaking Scottish landscapes? Renting a car is your ticket to freedom, and booking in advance can lead to significant savings. While most prominent rental firms are based in larger towns, securing the best deal requires early action. For a hassle-free experience, start your search online where you can find maps and precise locations to help you pinpoint the perfect car rental spot in Scotland.

Discover Edinburgh's Enchanting Attractions

Are you dreaming of a journey through the cobbled streets of Edinburgh, where history whispers from every corner? Let me be your guide to the most enchanting spots in this storied city. Imagine stepping into Greyfriars Kirk, a sanctuary that has graced Edinburgh since 1620. Once a stronghold during Cromwell's conquest, it now resonates with the melodies of music and the buzz of cultural events. It's a place where the past and present dance in harmony.

Then, let the grandeur of Holyrood Palace sweep you off your feet. This regal abode, established in 1678, offers a glimpse into the opulence of Scottish royalty. Wander through the very chambers where the tragic tale of Mary Queen of Scots unfolded, and marvel at the exquisite art adorning the State Apartments—still a retreat for the British Royal Family today. And when the aroma of freshly-baked scones tempts you, the Palace Cafe awaits to serve you a quintessential afternoon tea.

For a touch of nature's splendor, the Royal Botanic Garden beckons. Boasting the world's most diverse rhododendron collection, this verdant oasis is a treasure trove of botanical wonders. Stroll through the contemporary art gallery nestled in Inverleith House, or stand in awe beneath the towering redwoods in the Woodland Garden. And if you visit during the festive season, the garden transforms into a twinkling wonderland of holiday lights.

Typical daily rental rates vary by month.

Standard car class examples include the Opel Insignia, Audi A4, Ford Kuga, and Nissan Qashqai.

Explore Edinburgh with an Eco-Friendly Twist: Electric Car Rentals

Imagine gliding through the historic streets of Edinburgh in a whisper-quiet electric car, knowing that your journey is as gentle on the environment as it is exhilarating. Opting for an electric car rental in Edinburgh is not only a step towards a greener planet but also a savvy choice for your wallet. With electric vehicles (EVs), you can say goodbye to the extra costs of gas and the hassle of maintenance. Plus, these futuristic rides are free from noxious emissions, letting you breathe easy as you explore.

On average, a week-long electric car rental in Edinburgh might cost around $55, but if you're lucky, you might snag a deal for as low as $17 during the sweet spot of November. To unearth the most attractive offers, dive into online comparison sites like momondo, where the best deals await your keen eye.

However, before you embark on your electric escapade, there are a few things to ponder. Prices can vary, so consider whether you're looking for a weekday escape or a longer-term adventure. Check that your rental agreement includes insurance to cruise with peace of mind. Steer clear of one-way rentals or any deals that put a damper on your freedom to cross borders.

At Enterprise Rent-A-Car, you'll find a fleet of the charming Renault Zoes, boasting a range of up to 245 miles on a single charge. Enterprise is not just renting cars; they're driving change by expanding their electric fleet and championing sustainable transport. They've even joined forces with Toyota to explore the potential of hydrogen cars. It's no wonder their electric options are a hit with eco-conscious travelers.

Edinburgh's allure is undeniable, and what better way to soak in its splendor than with the freedom of your own rental car? From the majestic Edinburgh Castle to the bustling Princes Street, which has been the city's pulse since 1770, there's much to discover. And when you're ready to venture further, the A1 on the city's east side is your gateway to the Scottish border and beyond, connecting you to a network of scenic routes.

Popular questions about car rental:

Do I need to refuel my rental car before returning it?

In Edinburgh, you have three methods to replenish fuel in a rental car:

  • Refill the tank at a gas station before returning the car to ensure it's returned with a full tank.
  • Opt to prepay for the fuel when you rent the car, allowing you to return it without refilling.
  • Note that a 20% refueling surcharge will be applied on top of the per-litre cost needed to top up the car's fuel.
Can a 9-seater Minivan be rented?

We have a variety of minivans and minibuses available, including the Mercedes Vito, Renault Trafic, and Peugeot Traveller. These 9-seater vehicles are popular among families and business travelers. To ensure availability, consider booking 1-2 months in advance.
