Car rental in Scotland

Your leaving it late in day to get any "deals"
tell us what research you have done already ?
where are you intending to go during your
7 day trip ?

I guess I don't mean "deals" as much as good prices.

I have looked at the international companies: Budget, Alamo, etc. and started looking on google for "scotland car rental" but admittedly got a bit overwhelmed with the local choices.

We are planning to drive from Glasgow to Aberdeen and a loop around Inverness and perhaps Skye back to Glasgow.

thanks

I used Sixt a few years ago and was satisfied. Didn't really compare prices, but service was good and I had a nice vehicle. Picked up and dropped off at Glasgow airport.

Try Arnold Clark and compare against the majors.

If you're planning on staying in Glasgow city centre to start with, it might be better hiring the car at the end of your Glasgow stay.

Try Enterprise, I've found them to be cheap, decent and helpful.

I would try Arnold Clark (biggest "local" operator- actually more or less Scotland wide) and the big international names:

Budget
Alamo
Thrifty
Hertz
National
Enterprise
Sixt
Europcar
and probably some others I have forgotten.

A couple of other companies act as brokers and often have very good deals, especially Auto Europe, but you might get a better deal using their local UK site. Also Holiday Autos, Easycar, etc.

It's impossible to predict which will be cheapest- all of them have good deals on from time to time.

I was impressed with Arnold Clark. good shuttle service from Glasgow airport, and good rates.

Try holiday autos, they have cars from £123 a week from Glasgow airport or Ford Focus £150.
