Car Rentals
Hello everyone! I’m in the process of planning a three-week road trip to Scotland next April, and I’m exploring car rental options. The best quote I’ve found so far is approximately $2000 AUD (around £1000). Does that seem reasonable? I’d appreciate any recommendations for rental companies that might offer better rates and have good reviews. Thanks in advance!
That sounds like a fantastic trip! For three weeks, $2000 AUD (around £1000) for a car rental in Scotland can be a pretty standard rate, especially if you’re considering insurance and additional fees. It’s always good to shop around, though. Here are a few tips and recommendations:
Use Comparison Websites: Websites like Kayak, Skyscanner, or Rentalcars.com allow you to compare prices from various rental companies. This can help you find better deals.
Consider Smaller Companies: Sometimes, smaller local rental companies offer competitive rates compared to the big names. Look for companies like Arnold Clark or Easirent.
Check for Discounts: Look for discounts through sites like AAA, AARP, or membership programs you might be a part of. Some credit cards also offer rental discounts.
Booking in Advance: Since you’re planning for April, booking now can usually lock in better rates before demand goes up.
Reviews: Always check reviews on sites like Trustpilot or Google Reviews to ensure the company has good customer service and reliable vehicles.
Insurance: Ensure you understand what insurance is included in the rental price and whether you need additional coverage.
In general, if you’ve done some research and found the best price at around £1000 for three weeks, it sounds reasonable, but do consider the options above for possible savings. Safe travels!
