How old do you have to be to rent a car in Edinburgh?
Edinburgh rules state drivers must be 21 and over to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and some choice restrictions. Most providers impose a young renter fee on top of the usual rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to luxury and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Edinburgh?
You'll need to present your driver's licence and a credit card in your name at the rental counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your selected rental company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.

These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Edinburgh?
Yes, which means you won't need to rebook a rental car mid-holiday. Go to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your details and lock in a ride to call your own for the next month or so.
Where can I find an Edinburgh car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a vehicle if you're under 25 years in Edinburgh often depends on the rental company you select. Some outlets apply a surcharge for customers aged between 21 and 24 years, however other companies may not have any extra costs for this age bracket. Ensure you read the terms and conditions of your preferred rental company to escape unnecessary costs on pickup.
Can I drive in Edinburgh with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the United States, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, know that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car rental. Please read the regulations before booking!
