Cheap Europcar Car Hire in Edinburgh

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.

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, Europcar has a rating of 4.8, Budget has a rating of 4.8, Arnold Clark has a rating of 4.7 and National has a rating of 4.7.

Select a pickup location that is convenient for you. Some rental companies offer locations within the airport for quick access, while others may require shuttle transportation.

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 Europcar. 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.

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

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

Car hires from Europcar 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.

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.
