Edinburgh Car Hire
Edinburgh car hire is offered right in the middle of the stunning capital of Scotland.
If you are looking to rent a car here it's worth considering whether you need to book well in advance. At certain times of the year demand for hired cars totally outstrip supply and costs rocket. The Hogmanay (New Year) celebrations, Edinburgh Fringe time in August and whenever there is a major sporting event in Scotland, it can mean car hire is busy so book as early as possible.
Edinburgh Car Hire Top Tips
- The website Traffic Scotland is excellent for up to date traffic news across Scotland and ideal when you are planning to return your hire car to Edinburgh prior to leaving on a train.
- Larger cars and MPVs tend to be more popular in the summer so book these early if possible.
- Don't take Scottish weather lightly in the winter - if in doubt don't drive.
