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. There’s everything from **economical mini-class** cars to **spacious SUVs available.** It takes just one search to compare prices for car hire – and you can arrive in **Scotland** with the peace of mind that your holiday travel is already arranged. 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? Castles or culture? Wildlife or whisky? Monsters or mountains? Scotland opens out to you when you hire a car with Expedia. * * * ## Frequently asked questions ### What happens if I need to cancel my Scotland car reservation? > Our [Customer Service Portal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/service/?langid=2057) has all the details about this. In the majority of situations, total refunds are available if a booking is cancelled more than six hours before collecting the car. Be sure to read your rental agreement to double-check if there are any exclusions. ### What types of cars can I rent in Scotland? > Affordability, ease of parking and great mileage are some of the reasons compact vehicles are the number once choice in Scotland. Their smaller size makes them perfect for city driving. They're a good match for couples, solo travellers or budget-conscious motorists. Of course, how you cruise around is your call!

Be mindful that most rental companies will charge young drivers an extra fee, which helps cover the higher accident risk involved.

Thoroughly read the fine print before you book to avoid any problems at the hire counter. ### What do you need to rent a car in Scotland? > You'll need to present a valid driver's license and a credit card at the hire counter.
