Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Scotland?
The lowest daily price for a rental car in Scotland within the past seven days was AU$147. In the comfort of your own set of wheels, you can make your way to whichever sights are calling your name.
What happens if I need to cancel my Scotland car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours before the scheduled collection time, many prepaid rentals offer a total refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it's important to familiarise yourself with your cancellation policy. Check your confirmation for the details or click through to our Customer Service Portal to find out more.
What types of cars can I rent in Scotland?
Mini, economy, full-size, premium ... Whatever you prefer! However, compact models are the top pick in Scotland. If you want something inexpensive and small, but not too small, this category of rental vehicle is the perfect choice. Navigating busy streets will be a cinch in one of these. Compact cars offer slightly more room than economy models and are suited to families on a budget, couples or solo travellers.
Where can I go on a road trip from Scotland?
Scotland offers adventures galore, but don't restrict yourself to just the one place. Rent some wheels and hit the open road to see what else awaits in the surrounding region. Here are a few places to choose from:

  • You'll find Richmond Raceway and loads more amazing sights in Richmond. From Scotland, it's approximately 113 kilometres away.
  • Around 105 kilometres away, Washington is also a hit with wanderers. Allow time to take in White House while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love this thriving city.
  • Longwood Gardens is approximately 209 kilometres from Scotland and is one of the region's most breathtaking nature spots. Go for a wander around and enjoy the fresh air.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Scotland?
Anyone with a valid driver's licence 21 and above can rent a car in Scotland. While some providers may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21, contracts will come with additional fees. Find out what ages the young driver surcharge applies to, and the cost, before making your reservation. There are also restrictions on the categories of cars young drivers can rent. Higher limits are in place for luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Scotland?
The main requirements are your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you opt out. Be sure to check with your rental agency to avoid any problems.
What is the cheapest car rental in Scotland?
Based on prices found over the past seven days, you could've hopped into the driver's seat of a rental car for just AU$147 per day. The second lowest daily price on offer in Scotland was AU$148. 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. We partner with quality providers that offer long-term rentals for many car classes. Check out our long-term car rental deals and explore every corner of Scotland — or far beyond!
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!
