Car rental at the Aberdeen Airport

Aberdeen Airport, situated in Dyce, a suburb of Aberdeen, is about 7 miles northwest of the city centre. After an easy flight, hiring a car from one of the car rental stations at the airport gives you the freedom to navigate through the beautiful landscape of Scotland at your own pace.

Driving in Scotland

You are likely accustomed to left-hand driving, a standard in the UK. However, it's worth noting the prevalent use of single carriageway roads in Scotland, especially if you are venturing out into the rural areas. The speed limit varies depending on the type of road so always keep an eye on signposts.

Cool Climate and Currency

Scotland is known for its cool climate, even in the summer. Therefore, be sure to pack wisely for the weather, and remember, a proper heating system in your rental car could be your best friend during the travel. As for currency, the same Pound Sterling (£/GBP) used throughout the UK is accepted here.
