Edinburgh’s IKEA sit on either side of Costkea Way. Hertz has a pick-up location at the store, so you can easily collect your van before kitting out your home with the latest flat-pack furniture. They’re located just off the A701 – a mile south of the city bypass – and about 25 minutes from the city centre.
Edinburgh has two B&Q stores, one to the east (EH15 3HS) and one to the west (EH11 4DG) of the city. B&Q Craighall sits just off the A1 to the east of Edinburgh city centre. It should take around 20 minutes to get there from the centre. Like IKEA and Costco, you can pick up your van straight from the store. B&Q Hermiston Gait is 25 minutes west of the city, just off The City of Edinburgh Bypass.
Edinburgh’s prestigious university is right in the centre of the city, near Holyrood Park, and so can be easily reached via several main roads. From the south, it’s best accessed using the A7. Most student accommodation is within 10-15 minutes from central Edinburgh. This includes Sugarhouse Close, Potterrow, New Park, Beaverbank Place and Brae House.
Edinburgh Napier University has three campuses at Craiglockhart, Merchiston and Sighthill. Craiglockhart campus is around a 20-minute drive from central Edinburgh, Merchiston takes about 15 minutes and Sighthill less than half an hour. Napier University’s halls of residence can be found in the city centre at Bainfield, Orwell Terrace and Slateford Road.
If you’re hiring a van to transport valuables to storage lockers, you’ll find this facility on Eastfield Farm Road, Penicuik. It’s located approximately a 30-minute drive from Edinburgh city centre, down the A701.
