Why rent a car in Scotland?

Renting a car in Scotland offers unparalleled freedom to explore the country's diverse landscapes, from the rugged Highlands to the serene Lowlands. With a personal vehicle, you can venture off the beaten path to discover hidden gems and picturesque villages that are less accessible by public transport.

Scotland's rich tapestry of history and culture is spread across its cities and countryside. Having a car allows you to create a personalized itinerary, ensuring you can visit iconic landmarks, attend local events, and experience the unique charm of each region at your own pace.

Car rental tips for Scotland

  • When renting a car in Scotland, ensure you have a valid driving license and are aware of the local driving laws, including driving on the left side of the road.
  • Be prepared for varying weather conditions; Scotland's climate can change rapidly, so having a vehicle equipped for rain and occasional snow is beneficial.
  • Familiarize yourself with Scotland's single-track roads, especially in rural areas. These roads have passing places to allow vehicles to pass each other safely.
  • Plan your fuel stops in advance when traveling through remote areas, as petrol stations can be sparse in the Highlands and islands.

FAQs about renting a car in Scotland

What is the recommended car type/category?

A compact or mid-sized car is ideal for navigating Scotland's mix of city streets and rural roads. If you plan to explore the Highlands or more remote areas, consider a vehicle with higher ground clearance to handle uneven terrains.

What are the parking options?

In cities like Edinburgh and Glasgow, parking can be limited and often requires payment. Utilize public parking garages or park-and-ride facilities to avoid congestion. In rural areas, parking is generally more accessible, but always ensure you're not obstructing traffic or private property.

What's the speed limit?

In Scotland, the speed limits are as follows: 70 mph (113 km/h) on motorways, 60 mph (97 km/h) on single carriageways, and 30 mph (48 km/h) in built-up areas. Always adhere to posted signs, as limits can vary, especially in residential zones or near schools.
