How to find a cheap car rental in Edinburgh?
if you car considering finding the cheapest car rental deal at Edinburgh (United-kingdom), we advise you to take into consideration those 12 factors that influence the rental car price :
Book your car at the same location for both pick-up and drop-off
Select the same return place for your car rental pick up and drop off, in this case Edinburgh. This is one of the major factors that influence a lot your car rental price.
Book your car rental in advance
Book your car rental in advance to have the cheapest price and the early discount
Choose a manual rather than automatic transmission vehicle
We all know the driving comfort of an automatic transmission car, meanwhile, be aware that choosing such a car for your rental will increase the price of your car rental. Go for a manual transmission it will be cheaper and you will get a better deal.
Select the correct car category to get the cheapest deal
Each car class category have different prices, if you are looking for a cheap car rental focus on the lower class and get the cheapest price
The location of the rental company can affect the cost of your rental (airport, city center, or train station)
Depending on the car rental agency localisation in Edinburgh, the price can vary a lot. If you are flying to Edinburgh, focus on renting a car directly from the Edinburgh airport because airport car rental deals are often way better than the quote you can get in Edinburgh city center. As well, you will avoid the hidden cost of airport transportation to the city centre, the waiting time…
Car rental insurance is not an option
For some, contracting car rental insurance is not an option. Consider that the more experienced the driver, the more chances to save on car rental insurance.
Choose the appropriate car rental company
From one car rental agency to another, the price can vary by 20% to 30%. It depends on several factors like the car rental fleet available in Edinburgh, localisation, company pricing policy… If you are renting a car from Edinburgh airport, the car rental deals can vary depending on the agency pick up location inside the terminal or outside by commuting with a bus.
Are you planning to drive your rental car across a border?
If you are crossing a border with your car rental, you need to mention it to the agency desk on your pick up. This will in most cases include an extra cost per rental day. We recommend having the best deals to rent a car in the country of use.
Pick the most suitable fuel type for your rental car
The fuel type of the car is very important, opt for a Diesel car to benefit from a lower car rental budget. Diesel cars consume less fuel than petrol. We still do not recommend hiring a Hybrid car due to the lack of recharge stations.
Be aware of the car rental company's mileage policy
The car rental agency mileage policy is an important factor to take into consideration as well. Most of the agencies will allow you either a certain amount of KM per rental or KM per day of rent. Overpassing the limit will generate extra costs that can be very expensive. Make sure to know how many kilometres you will drive during the rental and choose the unlimited mileage if you are sure to overpass the limit.
Would you like to hire the car for a weekday or weekend?
Most often, on weekdays the same vehicle will cost you much cheaper.
Would you like to rent the car for a one-way trip or round trip?
The one-way deal will always be more expensive than a round trip with the returning to the pickup site.
