Frequently asked questions

Can I book now and pay later for my car rental in Scotland?
Yes, Expedia has car rentals that you can book now and pay later. This allows you to reserve your wheels without paying in advance. You'll only pay in full when you go to pick it up, while a hold will be placed on your credit card for the deposit. Keep in mind that some of the car rental deals in Scotland may need to be paid when you book. You'll easily see your options during the reservation process.
What happens if I need to cancel my Scotland car reservation?
There are always times when plans suddenly change. That's why we offer a full refund on most prepaid rentals if canceled at least six hours ahead of picking up the car. Remember to double-check your policy — there are some cases where it's not offered. Found nothing there? Our Customer Service Portal is always here to help.
What types of cars can I rent in Scotland?
Not too small yet not too big, compact cars are the number one choice for many visiting motorists in Scotland. Featuring excellent gas mileage and easy maneuverability and parking, they're perfect for cruising around the city. A compact has more space than an economy vehicle, so you can cruise around in a little extra comfort and style. Prefer a bit more legroom? Check out our intermediate, standard or full-size range.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Scotland?
If you're aged 21 and over, you can rent a car in Scotland. Be aware that rental providers will charge an additional fee if you're a young driver, which helps cover the higher damage risk involved. Also, young motorists are usually restricted from renting larger or luxury models of cars. Browse the terms and conditions before you book to avoid any hassles when it's time to pick up the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Scotland?
The main things are a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you choose to opt out. We recommend checking your policy terms and conditions to avoid any issues.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Scotland?
Whether you have plans to stop in Scotland or explore what's beyond, you can reserve a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip dates and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll help you find incredible long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Scotland car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Scotland rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, some outlets will charge additional fees. It's best to know this in advance so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so it pays to do your research.
