Car Hire in Craigentinny, Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Before confirming your booking, see if the rental company offers free cancellation. This can be very beneficial if your travel plans change suddenly.

Prior to booking, read through the rental agreement thoroughly for any hidden fees, such as airport surcharges, additional driver costs, or penalties for late returns. Being informed is essential for budgeting.

Some rentals have mileage limits, while others provide unlimited options. Read the policies carefully to avoid unexpected charges upon return.

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.

Car rental companies usually require a credit card deposit that is temporarily held. Inquire about the deposit amount and its release after returning the vehicle.

Familiarize yourself with the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy requires returning the vehicle with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' requires it to be returned at the same fuel level. Full-to-Full is generally more economical.

Research toll roads on your travel route and familiarize yourself with their payment methods. Some rental agencies offer toll transponders for convenience.

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
