The largest cities in Scotland typically have a bit of public transport, including Edinburgh. However, if you plan to explore remote Scottish Highlands, islands, or countryside where public transportation is limited, having a car offers great flexibility, and is oftentimes a necessity. Scotland offers stunning scenic routes like the North Coast 500. Having a car allows you to enjoy these picturesque drives. A car is also necessary if you would like to travel between cities, as trains and buses are not always available.
In Scotland, you must drive on the left side of the road. This might be different from what you're accustomed to in some countries, so be extra cautious, especially when turning, entering roundabouts, or crossing intersections. Many roads in Scotland, especially in rural areas, can be narrow and winding. Some roads might not have separate lanes for each direction, so be prepared to give way to oncoming vehicles. Single-track roads are common in remote areas, where passing places are provided for cars to pass each other. Drive carefully and be prepared for changing weather, especially in the Highlands.
Most major car rental agencies in Scotland require renters to be at least 21 years of age. However, some rental companies may have higher minimum age requirements, especially for certain rental categories, such as large passenger vans or for expensive luxury cars. In addition, they often charge extra fees for drivers under the age of 25 due to the increased risk associated with younger drivers. These fees vary depending on the specific car rental company, so you will need to check with the agency that you will be renting with to see how much it will cost you.
