FAQs
What happens if I don’t return my rental car on time Hertz?
At Hertz most EU locations have a grace period of 29 minutes when returning a car late. Any more than that and you may be charged for an additional day.
What are the rules to rent a car in Scotland?
If you’re renting a car in Scotland, you’ll need to have owned a full and valid driver’s license for at least 12 months. To hire with Hertz you’ll also need proof of identity, (for example, a passport) and a form of payment.
Is it worth it to rent a car in Scotland?
Renting a car in Scotland can be one of the most convenient ways of getting around. While Aberdeen has public transport, it can be easier and more reliable to drive yourself. If you’re planning on leaving Aberdeen and travelling further afield, a car is a must as some rural locations will have little to no public transport.
Do I need an international driver’s license to drive in Scotland?
No, you don’t need an international driver’s license if you plan to rent a car in Scotland. If you passed your driving test in the UK or the EU, you can drive any type of vehicle if you have a full and valid licence. If you passed your test outside of the EU or UK, you can still drive a car, though it can’t be for more than 12 months since you entered Great Britain.
Can you drive from England to Scotland without a passport?
Yes, you can freely travel between the two countries without a passport. If you’re visiting Scotland and are unfamiliar with the UK, you might be confused about the relationship between England, Scotland, and Wales. While they are separate countries, they have no physical border between them.
