Scotland Rental Car
Hello all,
We are spending a week in Scotland in June and need to rent a car. Probably rent from the airport or possibly Dundee. Are there any rental car companies we should avoid? I know from driving in Sicily that some companies are better than others. Any advvice would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I'd check Autoeurope.com They are a Maine-based broker that deals with all the major rental agencies. I personally would NOT try to collect a car in Dundee. EDI is much simpler - especially if you are going to be in Edinburgh before picking up the car.

Greenmotion and Easirent seem to receive maximum complaints across forums. We were in Scotland last October and rented from Arnold Clark, a local agency, and this was perhaps our best rental experience ever across Europe - you can book directly on their website or via an aggregator called Celtic Legend (which can works out cheaper as they sometimes waive one-way fees). They were also the most competitively priced.

By EDI, I'm thinking Janis means the airport. Driving in Edinburgh itself is a recipe for frustration.
If you're American, deal with an American company because it can resolve issues (if any arise) with the international franchisee later.
