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 NZ$187. 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.

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.

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.
