Within the past seven days, the lowest daily price for a cheap rental in Scotland was .
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.
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.
What is the cheapest car rental in Scotland?
The lowest car rental rate in Scotland within the past seven days was per day. The next best deal snapped up by happy travellers was . 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 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.
Can I drive in Scotland with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the United States, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. 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 current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car rental company before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
