Where can I find a Scotland car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a car if you're under 25 years in Scotland often depends on the rental supplier you choose. Some businesses have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, whereas other companies may not apply any additional costs for this age bracket. It'd be wise to go through the terms and conditions of your preferred rental company to escape any surprise charges on pickup.
Can I drive in Scotland with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the United States, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
