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.

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.
