Cheap Budget Car Rental in Edinburgh

Before booking, check for any promotional offers or discounts that may be available. Many rental companies provide seasonal deals or discounts for early bookings.

Rest assured knowing that you're in good hands. We partner with reputable car rental providers in Edinburgh known for their reliability, quality service, and well-maintained vehicles. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities.

Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the vehicle's controls and features before driving off. Knowing how to operate essentials like headlights, wipers, and navigation systems can enhance safety and convenience.

When renting a car in Edinburgh, be aware that rentals are charged per day. For instance, Budget charges per day, so if you rent for more than 24 hours, you’ll incur an additional day’s charge. Plan your hire period to avoid extra costs

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

Choose car hire suppliers with high ratings, as these often indicate better service, newer cars, and more convenient pickup locations. For Edinburgh, we have car hire deals from 23 suppliers. Among them, Budget has a rating of 4.8, Europcar has a rating of 4.8, Arnold Clark has a rating of 4.7 and National has a rating of 4.7.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Edinburgh, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Before booking, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees such as airport surcharges, additional driver fees, or late return penalties. Understanding these can help you budget more effectively.
