Requirements to Rent a Vehicle

To rent a car at Edinburgh Airport, you will generally need to meet the following requirements:

• Driving Licence: Must be valid and issued at least 12 months prior to the rental. If your licence is not in English, it is strongly recommended (and sometimes mandatory) to present an International Driving Permit.
• Minimum Age: Most rental companies require drivers to be at least 21 years old. Drivers under 25 are usually subject to a “young driver” surcharge and may face restrictions on vehicle categories.
• Credit Card: A credit card in the main driver’s name is required for the security deposit. Debit or prepaid cards are generally not accepted for this purpose.
• Identification: A valid passport or national identity document.
• Check Code: If you hold a UK driving licence, you may be required to generate a code on the DVLA website so the rental company can check your driving record and penalty points.
