Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Scotland car reservation?
Our Customer Service Portal has details about cancellations. In nearly all situations, complete refunds are available if a prepaid reservation is cancelled a minimum of six hours prior to the pickup time. It's a good idea to scan the policy to double-check if there are any exemptions.
What types of cars can I rent in Scotland?
Keep it simple with an economy, style it up in a premium ride or go for something in between, like an intermediate. But it's hard to go past a compact vehicle — the top pick in Scotland. They're easy to park and handle, fuel-efficient and a good idea if you're driving around busy cities. An upgrade from economy, you can expect a little more room and comfort at a price that's still affordable.
Where can I go on a road trip from Scotland?
There's loads to do in Scotland, but venture further afield and you'll find even more magic. Book a set of wheels and you can wander around the greater area at your own pace. Add these awesome drives to your to-do list:
  • Make tracks to Savannah for a fantastic sightseeing experience. About 161 kilometres from Scotland, it has loads of great sights like Forsyth Park.
  • Next stop? It has to be Valdosta, which is around 145 kilometres away. Wild Adventures is one local highlight you won't want to miss.
  • Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens is approximately 225 kilometres from Scotland and is one of the region's most beautiful nature spots. Go for a walk around and enjoy the fresh air.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Scotland?
Scotland requires drivers to be 21 and over before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and some restrictions on choice. Most suppliers impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the usual rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to luxury and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Scotland?
While requirements may differ between car rental outlets, the two things you'll need are your driver's licence and a credit card. You don't need to take out the company's insurance plan. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Scotland?
Yes, so you won't have to rebook a rental car halfway through your holiday. Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your details and secure a ride to call your own for the duration of your getaway.
Where can I find a Scotland car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a car if you are under 25 years old in Scotland often depends on the rental supplier you choose. Some businesses apply a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years old, yet other companies may not have any extra costs for this age bracket. Ensure you read the terms and conditions of your chosen rental company to avoid any surprise charges at the rental desk.
