Compare Elgin car hire

A visit to Elgin puts you among the distilleries, streams and stunning scenery you would expect of one of Scotland’s best-loved whisky regions. When you’re not sipping on the water of life in a snug pub, you can fish local rivers, visit ancient cathedrals and walk with alpacas, all in a single day.

With the comfort and convenience of a hire car, you’re free to explore all of North East Scotland. Collect your keys in the centre of town and you can be in Inverness, Aberdeen and many more major cities in an hour or two.

For such a small place, it’s surprisingly easy to pick up a hire car in Elgin. Head for the centre of town and you can choose from Enterprise, Arnold Clark and several smaller providers.

Whichever company you choose, booking your rental in advance will give you a wider choice of vehicles and more time to compare deals.

Getting your booking sorted early also saves you time and hassle when arriving in Elgin. Just pop into the branch with your driving licence, booking confirmation and any other required documents.

With your keys in hand, North East Scotland is your oyster. Hop behind the wheel and you can take in all the local sites. Walk the beautiful themed Biblical Garden, visit Spynie Palace, a large medieval bishop’s house, and hike the hill to Duffus Castle, which dates back to 1140.

If you’d prefer to venture further afield, you’re not short of options. In just over an hour, you can pick up the world-famous NC-500 at Inverness. This winding coastal road takes you past enormous lochs, across stretches of sea and deep into the spectacular Highlands. 

For an easy day trip, hop on the A96 to Aberdeen to spend a day at the beach, on the golf course or mooching around its old town.

Bear in mind that many of the more remote outposts around here are connected by narrow, poorly lit roads, so careful driving is a must.

Snow is a regular occurrence on higher ground in winter too, so it’s worth checking if it's safe to travel when travelling at this time of year. If you do decide to take on the winding wintry roads, pack some warm clothes and keep the car rental company’s details to hand.

Occasional extreme conditions aside, driving around North East Scotland is an incredible experience. Take your time to enjoy the stunning scenery along the way.
