Scotland is a vast and beautiful country. Its modern cities are hothouses of culture and commerce, starkly contrasting its mountainous, sweeping, and sparse highlands. A Scotland rental car is essential to make the most of your trip! Starting from Glasgow International Airport or Edinburgh, you'll find a wealth of tourist attractions before you.

When renting a car, Scotland can be seen at your own pace. Every summer, Edinburgh hosts the month-long Fringe Festival, the largest arts festival in the world. There are also enough restaurants, museums, and distilleries to satisfy anyone touring Scotland by car. Glasgow, the country's "second capital," hosts many attractions, like the beautiful Glasgow Cathedral or the city's massive Botanical Gardens. With a rental car in Scotland, you'll be free to visit both cities - visit our one-way car rental page for more information on how to arrange the ultimate trip.
The minimum age to rent a car in Scotland is 21. Rental age requirements vary by supplier, and some suppliers charge a young driver surcharge for car renters under 25. The young driver surcharge is expensive in England and can vary between £30 and £40 per day.
Some rental car suppliers in Scotland will also have a maximum age limit. Drivers over 70 should pay close attention to age restrictions in the booking process and be sure they don't need additional documentation to pick up their car rental in Scotland. Renters over 70 should call an Auto Europe reservations agent before travel.
Travelers from the United States and Canada can pick up a vehicle in Scotland and drive off the rental agency lot with a domestic driver's license in good standing and valid for at least one year. Additionally, a passport must be produced if the driver is not a UK citizen. That being said, it is highly recommended that travelers planning to drive in England acquire an international driver's permit (IDP), which can be purchased from your local AAA or CAA branch for only $15.
While an IDP is not necessary to rent a vehicle in Scotland (as long as your domestic driver's license is in English), it is an internationally recognized form of identification.
Most UK rental car categories can be driven anywhere in Western Europe, the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland, and Ireland. However, it is necessary to purchase additional insurance coverage for travel outside the mainland UK. This coverage costs US$17 - US$30 per day and covers roadside assistance, green card insurance, and customs and excise forms to take cars on ferries. Due to insurance regulations, there are restrictions on luxury car categories and travel in certain countries. Please take a minute to ensure that your intended itinerary will be possible with the car you plan to rent.
Domestic one-way car rentals are available between select locations; additional fees may apply. International one-way rentals and car rentals to Northern Ireland are also charged, and not all vehicles are allowed.
