Question 12

Accepted Answer

If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Scotland, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car.

Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some additional requirements for international car rentals are:

Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of cars you can rent.
Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before getting behind the wheel. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car.
