Frequently asked questions

How do I get the best deals on an Edinburgh Dollar car rental?

CarRentals.com always tries to get you the best price, whether you reserve your vehicle. But booking well ahead of your trip can help keep spending low. Be sure to read the mileage policy and don't add an extra driver to avoid any surprise fees.

What should I have with me when I pick up my car rental in Edinburgh?

You will need to bring your driver's permit and a credit card in your name.

What's Edinburgh's minimum age to rent a car?

Dollar's minimum age to rent a car in Edinburgh is 18. Some rentals, especially higher category vehicles (luxury, SUVs, etc.), may have an added fee if you are under 25. Take time to go over Dollar's policy to determine what the total cost is for you.

Is there a particular vehicle I should get for my trip to Edinburgh?

That all depends on your needs and what you'll be doing when you visit Edinburgh. Economy or compact vehicles are good for short drives and are easier to park. If you are traveling with colleagues or family, then a SUV or mid-size vehicle is going to have more room for luggage and be a more comfortable ride on longer commutes. Those looking for a touch of extravagance on their Edinburgh trip can choose the premium category for a car like a Mercedes C-Class or Audi A4 or similar.

Does the United Kingdom require car insurance?

You are required to have insurance before you rent a car in the United Kingdom. Many major credit card issuers (American Express, Visa, MasterCard and Discover) generally provide some coverage. But many of them have restrictions, such as not covering large vehicles, like premium models or some SUVs. It is best to find out exactly what your credit card will cover and how much before you head to Edinburgh. Otherwise, as a U.S. citizen, you can book Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout.

Does Dollar require a deposit at the time of booking my rental car?

Dollar does require a deposit when you book your rental car. Dollar will block the deposit on your credit once you book your car for your trip to Edinburgh. Please note that the deposit may vary greatly based on the model and make of the vehicle.

Do I have to return my Dollar rental with a full tank?

At CarRentals.com, we encourage a full to full policy. You pick up your Dollar rental topped off. If you return the rental with less than the amount that you received it with, most companies will charge a premium to top it back off. If you want to save some money, it is best to find a gas station before you bring it back to Dollar.

Do I need unlimited miles when I drive in Edinburgh?

Edinburgh certainly has its charms, but you may want to hit the road again after you've checked off all the activities in Edinburgh.

Does Dollar offer one-way rentals in Edinburgh?

Dollar offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it easier to return your rental car at another location. Don't forget there may be an additional fee when you opt for one-way.
