Car Hire Dundee Guide

Dundee is the fourth largest city in Scotland.  If you want to explore other parts of Scotland as well as seeing Dundee then car hire is the best way to do so. It is a long way from Dundee to the other major cities of Aberdeen (an hour and a quarter away), Edinburgh (an hour and a half away to the south) and Glasgow (two hours travelling distance). 
However you can pick up your hire car from these other cities too. 
 

If you're planning to drive in and around Dundee, here's a guide to help you:

Driving in Dundee:

  1. Drive on the Left: As with the rest of the UK, always drive on the left-hand side of the road.

  2. Parking: Dundee city center offers several public car parks, both surface level and multi-storey. On-street parking is often metered. Always check for any parking restrictions or required permits in residential areas.

  3. Roundabouts: Dundee has several roundabouts. Familiarize yourself with UK roundabout rules, where vehicles already on the roundabout have the right of way.

  4. Pedestrian Zones: Certain areas, especially around the city center, may be pedestrianized at specific times. Always adhere to posted signs to avoid driving in these zones during restricted times.

  5. Bus Lanes: Some roads in Dundee have dedicated bus lanes. Avoid driving in these lanes during their hours of operation.

Exploring Around Dundee:

  1. Tay Road Bridge: This iconic bridge connects Dundee to Newport-on-Tay and Fife. It offers a picturesque view but be mindful of the speed limit and the potential for windy conditions.

  2. Broughty Ferry: A short drive from Dundee, Broughty Ferry offers a pleasant beach, historic castle, and various shops and restaurants.

  3. Angus Glens: A scenic drive to the north of Dundee will take you to the stunning valleys of the Angus Glens, perfect for hiking and enjoying the natural beauty of Scotland.

  4. St. Andrews: About a 30-minute drive from Dundee, this historic town is renowned for its university, golf courses, and beautiful beaches.

  5. Perth: Located west of Dundee, about a 25-minute drive away, Perth is a historic city on the banks of the River Tay, offering museums, gardens, and a vibrant cultural scene.

General Tips:

  • Weather: The weather in Scotland can be unpredictable. During winter, especially if driving in more rural or hilly areas around Dundee, be prepared for icy or snowy conditions. Always check the weather forecast before setting out on longer journeys.

  • Fuel: While there are plenty of petrol stations in Dundee and on major routes, if you're exploring more remote areas, plan your fuel stops to avoid running out.

  • Mobile Phones: It's illegal to use a handheld mobile phone while driving. If you need to use your phone, ensure you have a hands-free setup or pull over to a safe location.

  • Drink Driving: Scotland has strict drink-driving laws with a very low alcohol limit. It's advisable not to drink any alcohol if you plan on driving.

Dundee and its surrounding regions offer a mix of urban and scenic drives. With the right preparations and awareness of local road rules, driving in and around Dundee can be a delightful experience. Safe travels!
