Top tips when hiring a car in Scotland

When hiring a car in Scotland, there are several tips you should keep in mind to ensure a safe, enjoyable, and hassle-free experience:

  • Understand the Local Driving Laws: In Scotland, you drive on the left side of the road, and the steering wheel is on the right side of the car. Make sure you're comfortable with this arrangement before setting out. Familiarize yourself with local traffic laws, such as speed limits (which are posted in miles per hour), and the rules regarding roundabouts and single-track roads, especially in the Highlands and rural areas.

  • Choose the Right Vehicle: Consider the nature of your trip when selecting a car. If you're planning to explore rural areas or the Scottish Highlands, a vehicle with higher clearance and more power might be more suitable than a small city car. Also, keep in mind that many cars in Scotland are manual (stick shift), so specify if you need an automatic transmission when booking.

  • Insurance and Excess: Make sure you understand the insurance coverage provided with your rental car. Check whether the Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection are included and understand the excess amount (the maximum you'd pay in the event of an accident). It might be worth considering additional insurance to reduce or eliminate the excess.

  • Plan Your Route and Allow Time: Scotland's beauty lies in its rugged landscapes and remote areas, but this also means journeys can take longer than anticipated, especially on narrow, winding roads. Plan your route in advance, allow extra time for travel, and don't try to cover too much ground in one day. This is particularly important in the winter months or if you plan to visit islands, as weather can affect ferry schedules and road conditions.

  • Fuel and Services: In remote areas of Scotland, services like fuel stations and convenience stores can be scarce, and many operate with reduced hours, especially in the evening or on Sundays. Make sure to fill up the tank whenever you have the opportunity, carry some snacks and water with you, and remember to check the opening hours of services along your route.

  • By following these tips, you can ensure a more comfortable and enjoyable car hire experience in Scotland, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the stunning landscapes and rich history of the country.
