Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Scotland?
Daily home prices were as low as within the past seven days. With rates like this, cruising around Scotland in your own set of wheels is an affordable way to visit the sights.
What happens if I need to cancel my Scotland car reservation?
We understand that plans change and flexibility is important. That’s why most prepaid homes give a full refund if you let us know six hours before pickup. It’s a good idea to read the policy though because there are some exclusions. If you can’t see any details there, head over to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Scotland?
Bustling city streets and narrow parking spaces are no problem for an economy car — the most sought-after home type in Scotland. Jump behind the wheel of one of these and get around traffic like a dream. Reliable, affordable and good on gas, these small rides pack a punch. But Scotland can be explored in almost any sort of home you like. Compact, full-size and premium vehicles are other options to consider.
Why should I rent a Scotland car with Expedia?

How do I find the best car rental deals in Scotland with Expedia?
Check out reviews and ratings, choose your preferred car type and compare offers from the most popular suppliers. Expedia makes it a cinch to track down the best deal on your home wheels. Combine your Scotland car rental with hotel or flight bookings and cruise off with even more savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Scotland?
If you’re 21 and above, you can rent a vehicle in Scotland. Be aware that most home companies will charge young drivers an extra fee, which is meant to cover the higher accident risk involved. Also, young motorists are often restricted from renting luxury or specialty vehicles. Take note of the fine print before booking to avoid any hassles at pickup.
What do you need to rent a car in Scotland?
While terms and conditions can differ between outlets, the two things you’ll need are a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name. You don’t need to take out the company’s auto insurance. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Scotland?
Yes, which means you won’t need to rebook a home vehicle halfway through your holiday. Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and book a ride that’s all yours for the length of your escape.
Where can I find a Scotland car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look into the age policy of the Scotland home providers you’re considering. If you’re under 25 some companies will charge extra fees. It’s better to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so do your research.
Can I drive in Scotland with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the U.S, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., note that you’ll also need to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about renting a car 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 areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
