How old do you have to be to rent a car in Scotland?
If you’re 21 and over, you can rent a vehicle in Scotland. Be mindful that home companies will charge young drivers an extra fee, which helps cover the higher accident or damage risk involved. Also, young drivers usually aren’t permitted to rent luxury or specialty vehicles. Read through the fine print before booking to avoid any problems when it’s time to pick up the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Scotland?
Before you can hit the road in Scotland, you’ll need a valid driver’s license and a credit card. If you don’t take out the company’s insurance policy, you may also have to show proof of other coverage. Requirements can vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you select a home provider.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Scotland?
Whether you’re planning to stick around Scotland or journey beyond, you can book a long-term holiday home with Expedia. Enter your trip details and pick-up/drop-off locations and we’ll find you the best long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Scotland car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a vehicle under the age of 25 in Scotland often depends on the holiday home company you choose. Some places apply a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years old, however other companies may not have any extra fees for this age range. It’d be good to read the terms and conditions of your chosen holiday home dealer to avoid any nasty surprises when picking up your keys.
Can I drive in Scotland with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the United States, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
