Edinburgh car hire with SIXT

Edinburgh car hire facilities are plentiful when visiting the Scottish capital. SIXT has conveniently located branches across the city centre, at train stations and Edinburgh Airport. Our top-class economy cars are affordable to all – perfect for short stays or business trips, and to get around the city quickly. Families on holiday can choose something like a 4X4 for lots of visibility when taking in the sights of Edinburgh. We only provide newer, sought after models, which offer quality and reliability. Our friendly 24/7 service is always there to help you pick a first-class hired car at an economical price.

Sixt Services in Edinburgh

You might not be spending much time in Edinburgh, so a compact or saloon might be all you need from us. If you have some leisure time on your hands, then you can treat yourself to a luxury car, a 4x4 or even a convertible or sports model, and go sightseeing at will. They all come with bookable extras like sat navs or child seats, and you can add an additional driver if you want to share the load with someone else on your trip. It doesn't matter if you need a one-day rental, a weekly rental or longer – we can always meet your needs.

What to do in Edinburgh

Our Edinburgh car hire services give you the independence to explore this global cultural centre, and Edinburgh Castle is one of the most famous tourist attractions in the UK. Since you have a car, you can make your way up to Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Crags, driving via scenic Dunsapie Loch. The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art is another bucket list item you can tick off here.

We chose to rent a car from SIXT to drive to St Andrew’s for a day trip. We were lucky enough to be served by Del who could not have been more friendly and more helpful. He recommended we change our booking to an electric car to avoid having to purchase petrol for a fuel car which saved us significant costs for the day. Along with this, he upgraded our rental from a Peugeot to a 2024 Mercedes. Del was truly a pleasure to deal with and made our experience renting a car for the first time, very enjoyable.

Stopped by Saturday for a last minute car as our plans fell thru. The staff were outstanding and got us into a car at a fair price. He even ensured that a car seat was rapidly delivered for our child. Great job and appreciate the help.

*Our Customer Excitement Score is based on a survey sent to all customers who booked in Edinburgh. The score is an average of all customer responses.
