  • Harrogate is roughly 120 miles from Galashiels. Famous sights like Turkish Baths and Health Spa should be at the top of your list here.
  • Your next stop? Aberdeen, which is around 110 miles away. His Majesty's Theatre is one local hot spot you shouldn't miss.

Check ratings and reviews, choose your preferred ride and compare offers from top providers. Expedia makes it easy to find the best deal on your rental wheels. Combine your Galashiels car rental with flight or hotel bookings and drive away with even more savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Galashiels?
Usually, the rules are 21 years and over in Galashiels. Be aware that most outlets will charge a young driver fee. Check before you sign up, as different rules may apply between rental car providers. Keep in mind that if you want to rent a luxury vehicle or a larger car like an SUV, rules may require drivers to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Galashiels?
While terms and conditions may differ between rental car outlets, the two things you'll need are a current driver's license and a credit card in the same name. You don't need to take out auto insurance with your rental provider. However, proof of your own coverage may be required.
What side of the road do you drive on in Galashiels?
Unlike the United States, people in Galashiels drive on the left-hand side of the road. Having the driver's seat and some controls on the opposite side can also take some getting used to. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the vehicle and its quirks before driving away.

With car rental rates starting from as low as $78 and $79 per day in Galashiels within the past seven days, you'll be driving away with your own incredible deal in next to no time.

Where can I find a Galashiels car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the rental companies that are found in Galashiels. They often have different age policies. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, be aware that additional costs may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Galashiels?
A comprehensive insurance plan is a wise idea for your upcoming Galashiels adventure. That's why we suggest opting in to collision protection while organizing your rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may require a minimum level of liability insurance. It's possible that this is included in your rental price or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and whether you need it.
Can I drive in Galashiels with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Scotland, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. It's also important to note that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some additional requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger, 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 vehicles you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with a rental car.
