Q&A

Answers to your questions

Where do you collect the car at Edinburgh Airport?

Desks are in the arrivals hall or a dedicated car park with a shuttle. After booking online you go to the company's desk with the voucher and your passport.

How much is a rental car at Edinburgh Airport?

Price varies by season and car group. Compare every company below, the gap on the same car runs to tens of percent, and full insurance is usually the biggest difference.

Is there a one-way fee if you drop off elsewhere?

Yes, almost always, from €30 up, depending on distance. If your route is a loop, returning to the same airport avoids it.
