Car Hire Aberdeen Dyce Airport Useful Information

Aberdeen Airport (ABZ) is the main airport for the Scottish city of Aberdeen.  

When collecting a hire car from Aberdeen Dyce Airport and setting out on the roads, here's a condensed guide for you:

Collecting Your Car:

  1. Documentation: Be prepared with your valid driving license. If your license is not in English, it's recommended to have an International Driving Permit (IDP). The rental agency will typically also ask for a credit card for security purposes and any other necessary documentation like your passport.

  2. Vehicle Inspection: Before you drive off, inspect the vehicle thoroughly for any pre-existing damages, and make sure they are documented by the rental agency to avoid any potential disputes upon return.

  3. Familiarize Yourself: Before you exit the car park, get comfortable with the car's controls, adjusting mirrors, understanding the indicators, lights, wipers, and checking where the fuel cap is.

Driving in and around Aberdeen:

  1. Drive on the Left: Remember, in the UK, driving is on the left-hand side of the road.

  2. Speed Limits:

    • Urban areas: 30 mph (48 km/h)
    • Single carriageways: 60 mph (97 km/h)
    • Dual carriageways: 70 mph (113 km/h)
    • Motorways: 70 mph (113 km/h)
  3. Seatbelts: They are compulsory for both front and rear passengers. Ensure everyone buckles up before driving.

  4. Mobile Phones: Only use mobile phones with a hands-free system. Holding a phone while driving is illegal and could result in heavy fines.

  5. Roundabouts: Understand how to navigate roundabouts, which are common. Vehicles already on the roundabout have the right of way.

Distances from Aberdeen Dyce Airport:

  1. Aberdeen City Center: About 7 miles (11 km), roughly a 20-minute drive via the A96.

  2. Inverness: Approximately 105 miles (169 km), about a 2.5-hour drive via the A96.

  3. Dundee: Around 80 miles (129 km), generally a 1.5-hour drive via the A90.

  4. Edinburgh: Roughly 130 miles (209 km), a 2.5 to 3-hour drive via the A90 and M90.

  5. Stonehaven: About 16 miles (26 km), around a 30-minute drive via the A90. It's worth a visit for Dunnottar Castle and the beautiful coastline.

General Tips:

  • Scottish weather can be unpredictable. Always check the weather forecast, especially if you plan on driving in rural or mountainous areas.

  • Use GPS or navigation apps for directions, but also be aware that in remote areas, signals can sometimes be weak.

  • Local radio stations often provide traffic updates during peak hours, which can be useful for avoiding any potential delays.

  • Drink-driving laws in Scotland are strict, so if you're unsure, it's better to abstain from alcohol entirely when driving.

Aberdeen and its surroundings offer a mix of urban and scenic drives, from the bustling city center to the beautiful coastal and countryside routes. Always stay alert, respect local driving customs, and enjoy your journey! Safe travels!
