Car hire in Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, is not recommended for use within the city itself. Parking is limited and traffic is heavy, so best access to the city centre is provided via park and ride facilities. Edinburgh car hire is ideal, however, for anyone wishing to take day trips to the attractions of the surrounding area.

About thirty minutes' drive from Edinburgh is the fascinating Museum of Flight (now the home of Concorde) and the world's only rotating boat lift, the Falkirk Wheel, is also nearby. Other potential uses for car hire include trips out to Dunfermline, once the capital of Scotland, and to Aberdour, sometimes described as the 'Jewel of Fife'. Glasgow, South Queensferry, and the University town of St Andrews are all also within reach using car rental, as is the Scottish Seabird Centre near North Berwick.

Cheap car hire in Edinburgh is best sourced using our price comparison facility and then booked in advance. If you are flying into Edinburgh, an airport pick up for your car hire makes sense.
