Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Scotland car reservation?
We've all been faced with times when even the best-laid plans go wrong. That's why we provide a full refund on many rentals if you notify us six hours prior to picking up the car. Be sure to double-check the cancellation policy — in some cases it's not included. Can't find anything there? Our Customer Service Portal has more useful information.
What types of cars can I rent in Scotland?
Affordability, ease of parking and excellent mileage are just some of the reasons compact vehicles are the number one pick in Scotland. Their small size makes them perfect for city driving. They're a great option for couples, solo travellers and budget-conscious families. Of course, how you get around is up to you! Go even smaller with a mini or economy, or get more legroom with a full-size or an intermediate. Looking for luxury? You'll like our premium options.
Where can I go on a road trip from Scotland?
There's lots on offer in Scotland, but venture further afield and you'll find even more magic. Organise a set of wheels and you can roam around the surrounding region at your own pace. Add these awesome places to your to-do list:
  • Head off to Washington for a fun-filled sightseeing adventure. About 129 kilometres from Scotland, it has many amazing attractions like White House.
  • Roughly 137 kilometres away, Alexandria is also a hit with travellers. Set aside time to take in George Washington Masonic National Memorial while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love coming to this city.
  • Walnut Beach Park is located 338 kilometres from Scotland and is one of the region's most spectacular nature spots. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the fresh air.
How do I find the best car rental deals in Scotland with Expedia?
Check out customer reviews and ratings, choose your preferred car class and compare prices from top providers. Expedia makes it a cinch to find the best deal on your rental wheels. Combine your Scotland car rental with hotel or flight bookings and cruise off with even more savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Scotland?
Scotland requires drivers to be at least 21 before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and some restrictions. Most suppliers impose a young renter fee on top of the normal car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like economy and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to specialty cars.
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 show proof of auto insurance.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Scotland?
Yes, and you'll find your ideal set of wheels among our long-term car rental deals. Simply enter your trip dates and we'll list excellent options from various top suppliers.
Where can I find a Scotland car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so you'll have to do a bit of research. Managed to find a Scotland outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Terrific! Just keep in mind that extra fees often apply to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're looking at will have all the information you need.
