When hiring a car, especially if you’re arriving in Edinburgh by flight, plan for extra time at pickup to accommodate any potential delays. Suppliers like Europcar typically offer a grace period of 30-60 minutes. Providing your flight number can be helpful, but if you’re running late, be sure to call the supplier to inform them.

When booking, check if the rental company offers extras such as GPS or child seats. These can enhance your driving experience but may incur additional costs, so it's wise to factor them into your budget.

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
