Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Edinburgh?
Within the past seven days in Edinburgh, you could have motored away in a rental car for as little as CA $60 a day.
Can I rent a car from Edinburgh Airport (EDI)?
Yes, and you have plenty of choice. After you touch down, make a beeline for the rental car centre at the Rental Car Centre. Here you can arrange your ride with reputable companies like Europcar, Avis and National. If you'd like some more options, also check out Enterprise and Hertz.
What happens if I need to cancel my Edinburgh car reservation?
No need to worry. You should receive all of your money back if you advise us a minimum of six hours prior to the collection time. Your itinerary contains information about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid rentals result in a refund though, so you may want to go over the rental agreement.
What types of cars can I rent in Edinburgh?
Not too small and not too big, compact cars are the number one choice for many visiting motorists in Edinburgh. Offering superb mileage and easy manoeuvrability and parking, they're well-suited to navigating the city. A compact is slightly more spacious than an economy vehicle, so you can cruise around in a bit more comfort and style. Prefer something bigger? Browse our standard, intermediate and full-size options.
Where can I go on a road trip from Edinburgh?
There's heaps to do in Edinburgh, but venture farther afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Rent a set of wheels and you can explore the surrounding area at your own speed. Add these fantastic destinations to your to-do list:

  • You'll find His Majesty's Theatre and loads more interesting attractions in Aberdeen. From Edinburgh, it's around 153 kilometres away.
  • Why not enjoy the best of Glasgow too? Major tourist attractions in this colourful city include Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre. Glasgow is around 64 kilometres from Edinburgh.
  • Make tracks to Fairy Pools to rediscover nature. Pack a picnic to enjoy or just recharge your batteries in the fresh air. From Edinburgh, it's roughly 241 kilometres away.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Edinburgh?
Anyone with a valid driver's licence 21 and over can rent a car in Edinburgh. While some outlets may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21, contracts will come with additional fees. Find out what age range the young renter fee applies to, and the associated cost, before making your reservation. Providers also restrict the categories of cars available to young drivers. Higher age limits apply for specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Edinburgh?
A valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? If that's the case, you may need proof of other coverage. Rules can differ between providers, so read your policy thoroughly.
What side of the road do you drive on in Edinburgh?
If you're renting a vehicle in Edinburgh, you'll have to drive on the left-hand side. Be aware that the driver's seat will also be on the opposite side to what you're used to. Consider booking a ride with automatic transmission to make things a little easier.

We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that the lowest daily rate was CA $60. The second lowest price for rental vehicles in Edinburgh was CA $61 a day. 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 Edinburgh?
Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your preferences and then reserve a ride that suits. Whether you're basing yourself in Edinburgh or venturing far beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an awesome rate.
Where can I find an Edinburgh car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver looking for a rental in Edinburgh, we recommend reading the terms and conditions of the various rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be additional costs if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To avoid any unpleasant surprises at the rental counter, make sure you do your research.
