Question 8

What side of the road do you drive on in Edinburgh?

Where can I find an Edinburgh car rental if I am younger than 25?

Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do a little research. Found an Edinburgh supplier that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Awesome! Just bear in mind that some companies charge extra fees to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're interested in should have all the details you need.

Question 12

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Edinburgh?

Accepted Answer

A comprehensive insurance policy is a smart idea for your upcoming Edinburgh vacation. That's why we suggest opting in to collision protection while organizing your rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may require you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This might be included in your rental cost or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and if you need it.
