How old do I need to be to rent a car in Edinburgh?

The minimum legal driving a vehicle age in Edinburgh is 23, (however some rental vehicle suppliers call for drivers to be minimum 25), but individuals aged 18-24 need to pay out an extra charge, referred to as "young driver surcharge," which might be up to $25 each day. Also additional drivers, past the primary, are required to pay for an "additional driver fee" which range from $15 - $25 per day.

Can I rent a car without a credit card in Edinburgh?

It is necessary to have a credit card to rent a car in Edinburgh. When you arrive at the rental counter to pick up your vehicle, you are required to present a valid credit card in the name of the primary driver indicated on your voucher. Additionally, the card must have enough available credit to cover the security deposit.

The necessity of presenting a credit card during vehicle pickup is to enable the rental agency to secure a hold on the security deposit. In the absence of a credit card, the rental agency may refuse to provide the vehicle or require supplementary insurance payments. It is important to note that credit cards from additional drivers or cash deposits are not permitted. Although some rental agencies may accept debit cards, this practice is relatively rare. The security deposit will be released from your card upon the return of the vehicle in the same condition as it was when initially rented.

For information about credit card holds and deposits associated with your booking, you may consult our booking engine by clicking on the blue (i) icon or review your voucher once your reservation is finalized.

What car rental insurance is included in Edinburgh?

When you book a car rental in Edinburgh via the Auto Europe platform, all of our comprehensive packages include the essential insurance mandated by legislation. This coverage encompasses Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), third-party liability, and theft protection (TP). It is important to note that both the CDW and TP come with a deductible, which is the amount the driver is responsible for in the event of damage or theft. These deductibles may vary depending on the country and the rental provider, and in certain instances, they can be significantly high.

Certain suppliers may permit the use of credit card rental insurance, provided you possess it. Should you have any inquiries about car rental insurance in Scotland, do not hesitate to contact our rental specialists.

Do I need an International Driving Permit to rent a car in in Edinburgh?

In Edinburgh, most international rental suppliers accept your Canadian driver's license, provided it is valid and has been held for over a year, without needing an International Driving Permit (IDP). However, some companies, such as International Car and Budget, do require non-European license holders to present an IDP. We suggest reviewing the terms and conditions during the booking process or reaching out to our reservations team for further assistance.

Are there tolls in Edinburgh?

You will be glad to know that there are currently no toll roads present in Edinburgh.
