And that’s what makes it so ideal to arrange car hire in **Scotland** when you visit. Here’s just a wee taste of what’s on offer when you hire a car in **Scotland**. ### Car Rental in Scotland for the Great Outdoors There are vast tracts of wilderness left to explore in **Scotland**. Park up to see eagles gliding effortlessly over the lochs and mountains of the Highlands. Hop on a boat to see otters weaving in and out of the kelp in the **Outer Hebrides**. Gasp as a minke whale breaches in the distant waters or get down and dirty hiking through the **[Cairngorms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Cairngorms-National-Park.d6088691.Car-Hire-Guide).** ### Car Rental in Scotland for a dram and a Clam **Scotland’s** new-found love of top-quality local produce means that you are never far away from an opportunity to savour the flavour of fresh seafood, often within just a few hours of it being hauled from the sea. Wash it all down with a dram of single malt whisky for the authentic Scottish experience. ### Car Rental in Scotland for History Visit the cave that once sheltered **Bonnie Prince Charlie** or relive the charged atmosphere at the battlefields of as **Bannockburn** and **Culloden**. Castles pepper the landscape, from the ominous tower houses of **Hermitage** and **Smailholm** to the intricate battlements **Caerlaverock**. ### Car Rental in Scotland for a Spot of Culture It’s not just at the **Edinburgh Fringe** that the arts shout loud in **Scotland**. Pay homage at the birthplace of **Robert Burns** in the village of **Alloway**, two miles south of **Ayr**, or pretend you are **Inspector Rebus** as you wander the streets of **Edinburgh**. There is no end of excellent museums to head for, including **Glasgow's Kelvingrove**, **Dundee's Discovery Point** and **Aberdeen's Maritime Museum.** Ready to hire a car and take a drive through **Scotland**? Here’s how to do it. ### Cheap Car Hire in Scotland Book your car hire in advance with **Expedia** and we’ll arrange for your vehicle to be waiting for you at any city, town or airport in Scotland when you arrive. It’s an easy drive from [**Edinburgh Airport**](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Edinburgh.d4801605.Car-Hire-Guide)**, [Glasgow Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Glasgow-International-Airport.d6054220.Car-Hire-Guide), [Aberdeen Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Aberdeen.d6054175.Car-Hire-Guide)** and **[Inverness Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Inverness.d1607.Car-Hire-Guide)** to their respective cities – and your car will be waiting for you as you stroll through the arrivals hall. If you are not arriving by plane there are many locations all over **Scotland** where you can arrange to pick up your car from. **Expedia** offers you a vast network of car hire providers to ensure that you’ll always have a great choice of vehicles and access to all the best car hire deals available. Simply plug in the dates you need a car for, choose where you’d like to start your car hire and select the type of vehicle you need for your trip.

Let’s take a look at four of Scotland’s major cities that you may wish to visit. ### Car Rental to Explore Aberdeen **[Aberdeen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Aberdeen.d6054175.Car-Hire-Guide)** is the dynamic economy that powers northeast **Scotland**, running on fuel from the **North Sea**. Oil money has seen some very swanky shop, restaurants, bars and hotels spring up in **Granite City**. Explore the attractive centre, built largely with silver stone hewn from the now abandoned **Rubislaw Quarry**, before you drive out south to **Dunnottar Castle**, west to **Royal Deeside**, north to a clutch of sandy beaches or follow the inevitable trail that leads to whisky country in the northwest. ### Car Rental to Explore Inverness Make sure the binoculars are in the car as you go in search of the famous monster of the **loch**. You may have more luck fishing for salmon, however, as the shallow **River Ness** is famed for its stocks. ### Car Rental to Explore Edinburgh One of Europe’s most beautiful cities, with historic buildings perching from every crag and dramatic cliffs providing the backdrop. Stroll through the **Old Town**’s picturesque lanes and medieval tenements and then admire the New Town’s orderly grid of Neoclassical elegance. ### Car Rental to Explore Glasgow Scotland’s biggest city offers handsome **Victorian buildings** packed among stylish bars, award-winning restaurants and venues that host one of Britain's best live-music scenes. Whether it’s the chance to shop till you drop or a more considered appreciation of **Charles Rennie Mackintosh's** sublime designs that you are after, **Glasgow** will oblige. ### Where Will Your Car Hire in Scotland Take You?
