KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Dunfermline

  • When you get a car hire in Dunfermline you will get more flexibility with your onwards trip compared to if you use alternative methods of transport such as a bus or train. This is due to the fact that you can leave at a time that’s good for you, rather than having to wait for public transport or taxis. For instance, to drive to Cairneyhill takes about 10min. Whereas the same trip on a bus takes about 30min and you also have to abide by the bus timetable.
  • Edinburgh Airport (EDI) offers a selection of car hire companies that you can use, such as SIXT, so your dream car is never far away. If you want to get a car with SIXT, for example, you can easily locate them when you arrive at the airport. You need to exit the Arrivals hall and pass the bus stops outside to the covered walkway. Keep walking towards the end of the walkway, via the Airport Plaza, and you will reach the ‘Car Rental’ signs where the SIXT office is located.
  • When you get a car hire in Dunfermline you will see that it’s a popular town with both day-trippers and tourists. It is especially busy during the weekends when there are lots of people travelling from Edinburgh. As it’s a busy place, keep an eye out for people crossing the road in areas that aren’t official pedestrian crossings. You will also find there are many moped drivers and cyclists in this town, which can make driving a new car difficult. It’s important that you check your mirrors regularly, especially if you’re at a roundabout or about to turn.
  • If you have a Dunfermline car hire you will become aware that traffic can get very busy in the town, especially when it’s rush hour as lots of people commute to and from Edinburgh for work. This is about 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. For those that want to avoid the roads when they’re at their busiest, it’s best to stay off them during these times. One of the roads that is particularly busy during rush hour is Carnegie Drive, which passes through the centre of the town. If possible, try and find an alternative route instead of taking this road.

10.0 Wonderful

Cathie, May 2025

Long walk in Airport to shutttle bus. Once at pick up it was smooth. Wayne was very efficient and had us on our way! We ended up having to replace a front tire. Kept all receipts and received refund as we paid out of pocket. No questions asked!

They are pure scammers! You come to the place on time, thinking you booked, but they play a game that you came late and that no more cars are available. And the only car they have will be 300 pounds a day. Pure scammers. Avoid!

Economy

KAYAK
Awful. Did not honor the voucher from Kayak/VIPCars, wanted to charge an extra $40 for mileage, and then said I was late so would be an additional $95 to “upgrade”, even though I said I would take a smaller car. This for a 3-day rental, so more than doubling the cost. I went back to the airport and rented direct from Enterprise. Beware using small companies and third party agencies to rent cars!

8.0 Very good

Very clean car and very fast and thorough pick up/drop off. Confusion on where to go to pick up the car as directions said airport, which meant asking directions to the shuttle that takes you to the pick up point.

2.0 Poor

Ray, Sep 2024

Intermediate SUV

KAYAK
The car provided was fine. The shuttle is a relatively long drive to their off-sight location, then a 45 minute wait until we were in the car, then a low-fuel light came on within a couple of miles of the pickup spot (the agent told me it had around 1/4 tank left). It wasn't easy to find a fuel station in a foreign location during a rain storm! The waiting room at the off-site location was crowded with clients renting and returning cars so that several people had to stand for long times. I would never again rent from this company, nor use Kayak if that is their best offering.
