How old do you have to be to rent a car in Scotland?
The youngest age you can rent a car in Scotland is 21. A young driver surcharge will apply, so check before booking and take into account any extra costs. There could also be restrictions on the sorts of vehicles that can be rented by young drivers. For example, some outlets will only rent out economy to medium-sized cars to young motorists. Rules may be different between outlets, so look over the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Scotland?
While booking conditions may differ between rental car outlets in Scotland, the two key things you'll need are a current driver's license and a credit card in the same name. You don't need to take out insurance with your home company. However, proof of your own coverage may be required.
Where can I find a Scotland car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies that operate in Scotland. They often have different age policies. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25  bear in mind that additional costs may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before collecting the vehicle.
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!
