Hertz at Waverley Train Station - Train Arrivals Only
Best described as a city of contrasts, Edinburgh has been recognised as Scotland's capital city from as early as the 15th century; it is a dynamic epicentre that offers a lot to national and international travellers. If you want culture, shopping, history, festivals, and fine foods, there's nowhere better than here. Hiring a car lets you explore some of its most famous attractions, from Edinburgh Castle to the Cathedral. Car hire from Edinburgh is a brilliant way to begin your tour of the local and surrounding areas, helping you start your travels the right way.
Medieval history is in abundance at Inchcolm Abbey, situated in on Incholm Island and can be accessed by ferry South Queensferry, roughly a 25 minute drive outside of Edinburgh. Well preserved, historically marvellous, and a treasure trove of information, this island location makes for a jam-packed couple of hours. Hiring a car from Waverley Railway Station does a lot more than link you to relics of the past, it also means you can enjoy modern attractions such as Edinburgh Zoo. This beloved 82 acre parkland is the perfect location for a sunny day out, and at only a 16 minute drive away, it's convenient too. Let your kids take a walk on the wild side with over 1,000 animals.
