Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Edinburgh car reservation?
We get that flexibility on the road is important. That's why the majority of prepaid rentals give a full refund if you let us know at least six hours before the pickup time. It's still good to read the policy though because there are some exclusions. If the info isn't there, have a look on our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Edinburgh?
Not too small yet not too big, compact cars are the number one choice for many visitors to Edinburgh. With terrific mileage and easy parking and handling, they're well-suited to navigating the city. A compact has slightly more room than an economy vehicle, so you can hit the road in a little extra comfort. Want something bigger? Browse our standard, intermediate and full-size options.
Where can I go on a road trip from Edinburgh?
There are many exciting adventures to be had in Edinburgh, but venture further afield and you'll find even more magic. Organise a set of wheels and you can wander around the surrounding region at your leisure. Add these fantastic destinations to your list:

  • Make tracks to Monarto for a fun-filled sightseeing adventure. Roughly 56 kilometres from Edinburgh, it's home to numerous amazing sights such as Monarto Zoo.

Where can I find an Edinburgh car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies located in Edinburgh. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages.
