Roads throughout Scotland can be somewhat narrow, therefore you might want to consider renting a small, compact vehicle if there will be only 2 or 3 of you in the car. Additionally, as with many cities in Europe, cars with an automatic transmission are quite rare. Consequently, if you are not used to driving a stick shift, be sure to request an automatic when making your reservation.
Signs are posted throughout the city noting the legal speed limits. When driving in and around the downtown area, you’ll need to drive at speeds of only 20 mph. However, once you are on the expressway, you can pick up the speed to a maximum of 70 mph.

Pros:
Drop off was super easy. The person that handled the drop off/shuttle was super friendly and nice. They also picked us up from the airport, which is like a 2 minute drive so that was cool too. -The car was amazing! Massage drivers seat and a lot of fun features that I've never seen before.Cons:
- Worth keeping in mind when looking around that you'll have to put down an above average deposit if you choose to go with your own credit card insurance (over 2,500gbp). If you choose to go with one of their options for insurance it will add a couple hundred to your bill. So if you think this is the more inexpensive option, you may be wrong with all the extras you'll have to get. -Make sure on pick up to take pictures of everything (even scratches and dents under 4cm or whatever they suggest) We were asked on drop off if we had a picture of a dent that we were told we didn't have to document on pickup. Luckily we had figured as much and had video/pics of it. -They had the tank filled just over half which I thought was odd, usually rental cars start with a full tank but that could just be my preference.2.0 Poor
