Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Edinburgh Airport (EDI)?
You can, and there's plenty of choice. After you touch down, make a beeline for the rental car center at the Rental Car Center. Here you can arrange your ride with reputable companies like Budget, Sixt and National. If you'd like some more options, see what's on offer with Europcar and Hertz.
What happens if I need to cancel my Edinburgh car reservation?
