KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Aberdeen

  • There is hardly a better way to explore the eastern coastline of Scotland and all the attractions of Aberdeen – such as the Maritime Museum or the Art Gallery – or the inner Scottish countryside than by renting a car. Benefit from the flexibility and a sense of freedom when visiting the coastal city when you get your own hire car.
  • Aberdeen Airport is located about six and a half miles from the heart of Aberdeen and travelers can rent a car directly from there to be in the city in about twenty minutes. There are various onsite car hire agencies of internationally renowned companies like Avis, Hertz, and Europcar, to name a few.
  • In Aberdeen, like the rest of the UK, cars drive on the left side of the road, plus the steering wheel is on the right-hand side of the car. Travelers who are not used to this should consider renting a GPS system with the car, as it makes it easier to navigate on the other side of the road. Remember to enter roundabouts clockwise and be extra attentive at intersections.
  • Peak times in Aberdeen are usually around 6-9 am and 4-7 pm in Aberdeen during the week, and traffic can increase dramatically with waiting hours sometimes as long as 1 hour. Try to avoid these times for driving if possible and find ways through little alleys and streets rather than bit arterial roads like the A96, for instance.
  • Book your rental car in Aberdeen at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs about renting a car in Aberdeen

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Aberdeen?

    As Aberdeen is located in the north, it is wise to rent a 4-wheel-drive car, especially when visiting during the winter. Parking and traffic can be challenging in the city, so opt for a smaller car if possible, as it can fit into more parking spaces and will also need less petrol – which can get pretty expensive in Europe and the UK.

  • What’s the speed limit in Aberdeen?

    Even though the rest of European countries uses the metric system, in the UK the imperial system prevails to some extent and speed limits are given in miles per hour. Bear in mind that the posted signs are on the left side of the road. General regulations permit 30 mph in residential areas, but it goes down to 20 mph around schools. 50 mph is permitted on rural roads and up to 70 mph on freeways (called motorways in the UK and usually marked with an “M”).

  • Where are the best places to park in Aberdeen?

    On-street parking in Aberdeen is usually time restricted and metered, with a fee of around £1 ($1.27) per 20 minutes. There are also various parking lots and garages available, some of which are even free of charge. The Denburn, Chapel Street, or Frederick Street parking lots, for instance, can be used without paying a fee after 5pm.

  • How much is gas price in Aberdeen?

    The average gas price in Aberdeen is ₱385.59 per gallon over the past 30 days. Filling up a gas tank costs between ₱4,627 and ₱6,169, depending on the car size.

  • What is the most popular rental car in Aberdeen?

    Economy (Opel Crossland X or similar) is the most frequently booked rental car type in Aberdeen.

  • How can I find car rentals near me in Aberdeen?

    Take a look at our extensive car rental location map to find the best rental cars near you.

  • How much does an Economy car rental cost in Aberdeen?

Shania was who dealt with our booking on the phone before hand and also when I arrived on the day for pick up, she was lovely and so helpful. The car was brand new with only two miles on the clock and everything was clean and easy to get started with.

I got soft scammed through kayak to purchase collision and damage insurance via the booking form. Turns out Europcar doesn't accept third party insurance. So i had to buy another policy from them before they would give me the car. They told me it happens all the time. Super disappointing.

Vehicle I booked was not available. I was not informed so as to make alternative arrangement. I was offered an inadequate alternative at pickup time. My family was thrown into a panic state as we try to get the right Vehicle at exorbitant price. It was a very bad experience for us.

Booking was easy. Car pick up was a nightmare. The Marriott was hard to find and far from the airport. Booth was in a hallway closet in the Marriot. Registration was complicated and needed to happen online on a portal device provided by the clerk. Needed to scan documents with my phone and submit them online (just showing them license and passport wasn't enough). Hidden fees included CDW, and a 1,500 pound collision deposit. Payment was complicated and involved a third party "WorldPay" link, which in the end did not recognize my credit card. We left after nearly an hour or paperwork without a car.

Very poor customer service. The young man who served us was not happy we were early. It was difficult to send a message to change our pick up time. He eventually said he could do it but we would have to wait. Denying insurance was difficult. Proof that our credit card company covers rental car insurance was needed. LUCKILY I BROUGHT THE PAMPHLET FROM AM EXPRESS!! We were not given any papers just told it would be sent by email. Drop off was a drop box. No confirmation to tell us everything was ok after drop off. Took pictures and video just in case needed!!! It was cheaper to rent with them, BUT for a reason. I would definitely not use Easyrent again. Pay a bit more with a more reputable company!

Great see ice on pick up. Low tyre pressure warning within 5 mins. Spoken to very disrespectfully on drop off. Charged full amount even though returned car 8 days early. Beware of the terms and conditions. There is no early exist with these bandits.
