Cheap Alamo Car Hire in Edinburgh

Car hires from Alamo in Edinburgh are charged per day. If you rent for more than 24 hours, you will be charged for an additional day, so plan accordingly.

When hiring a car in Edinburgh, choose a car hire deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like Alamo. These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.

If you're traveling with pets, confirm the rental company's pet policy before booking. Some companies allow pets but may have specific fees or restrictions, so it’s best to clarify in advance.

Always keep your rental agreement, identification, and insurance information easily accessible during your rental period. This can help resolve any issues quickly.

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.

Renting away from bustling areas can lower costs and ease parking difficulties.

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.

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
