Keen on Aberdeen?

Beyond Scotland’s third-largest city are huge skies, dramatic mountains, and sea views. But first, spend a little time on Aberdeen’s cobbled streets in the shadow of looming granite architecture or strolling along the city’s golden sand beach before turning the ignition and heading into the wild.

Find a car from a local Aberdeen host on Turo and help their small Scottish business thrive. With your Turo car rental, your price includes insurance, and some hosts offer unlimited mileage.

Choose a car you’d love to drive

Forget generic car hire categories. On Turo, the car you book is the car you’ll drive. Get behind the wheel of the exact model you’ve chosen – it’s a much better way of hiring a car in Aberdeen.

Economy or luxury?

Small city runarounds are great for running quick errands, but you might fancy a roomier SUV if you’re setting off on a road trip around Scotland from Aberdeen. How about something with a glass roof?

Pay the price you see

Whether you save or splurge, third-party protection and mileage are always included on Turo. If your plans change, cancellation is free up to 24 hours before your booking.

Hit the road

Aberdeenshire is a treasure trove of sights. The Cairngorms and wild oceans are a fittingly dramatic backdrop to over 260 castles, stately homes, and atmospheric ruins in this northeasterly pocket of Scotland.

The North East 250

This famous road trip takes you from Aberdeen into Royal Deeside, through the mountains of the Cairngorms National Park, along stretches of the North Sea coastline, and via the seaside villages of the Moray Firth Coast.

Castle Country

Aberdeenshire is fondly known as Castle Country. After all, it’s home to some of the UK’s most famous castles, including Balmoral Castle, a residence of the Royal Family. See 19 of the best castles on a six-day road trip known as Scotland’s Castle Trail.

Footdee

This 19th century fishing community was masterminded by the same architect who designed Balmoral Castle. The cottages face away from the ocean to protect them from damaging storms.

To book a car on Turo, you must create a Turo account, be 18 years old or older in the US, 21 years old or older in the UK and Australia, 23 years old or older in Canada, have a valid driver’s license, and get approved to drive on Turo. When you’re booking your first trip, you’ll go through a quick approval process by entering your driver’s license and some other information. In most cases, you’ll get approved immediately, and you’ll be set for every future road trip, business trip, and family vacation!

Do I need my own insurance?

No, you don’t need personal insurance coverage to book a car on Turo.

What protection plan options are available on Turo?

When booking a car on Turo, you’ll choose between three protection plans — Premier, Standard, or Minimum — to get the level of protection that’s right for you.

Is third-party auto liability insurance provided for trips on Turo?

Turo has arranged for third-party auto liability policy to be provided by ERS (Syndicate 218 at Lloyd’s) managed by IQUW Syndicate Management Limited, arranged via Turo’s broker, Lockton Companies LLP — you get unlimited coverage for bodily injury or death to others while coverage for motor third-party property damage is up to £20,000,000.*

How do I get discounts on cars in Aberdeen?

Are there discounts on weekly or monthly trips?

Many Turo hosts offer discounted prices for weekly and monthly trips, as well as “early bird” discounts for trips booked a week or more in advance. So, get the best deals and lowest rates possible by booking longer trips, at least a week in advance.*

What types of cars can I book in Aberdeen?

Browse the widest selection of vehicles for every occasion and budget on Turo. Find an SUV for a family road trip, an economy car for commuting, a pickup truck for some errands, or an exotic sports car for a special night out in Aberdeen.

How can I drive unlimited miles during my trip to Aberdeen?

Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit. On the vehicle pages, you’ll see the total miles or kilometres you’re allowed to drive under the heading “Distance included.” You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the “Unlimited distance” filter.

What payment methods does Turo accept?

Turo accepts most credit cards issued by major financial institutions, including American Express and Discover cards, as well as debit cards with a Visa or Mastercard logo that are linked to a checking account.

Apple Pay and Google Pay on mobile devices are also accepted, but Turo does not accept cash or checks as valid payment methods.

What is the cancellation policy for guests on Turo?

You can cancel and get a full refund up to 24 hours before your trip starts, unless you opt to receive a non-refundable trip discount when you book. If you book a trip with less than 24 hours’ notice, you have one hour after booking to cancel free of charge. If you cancel after the free cancellation period ends, you will be charged a cancellation fee.

In the rare event a host cancels, you’ll be notified immediately so you can book another car, or we’ll help you find one. Your refund can be temporarily held to expedite rebooking, or the funds can be returned to your bank account — your choice.

What are the cleaning and safety policies on Turo?

Under the enhanced cleaning policy, hosts are required to clean and disinfect their vehicles thoroughly before every trip, so you can feel safe and comfortable behind the wheel. Turo hosts have access to training materials on enhanced cleaning practices, using the latest recommendations compiled from the CDC, EPA, WHO, and vehicle detailing experts, to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Is there a fee to add additional drivers to my trip?

There is no fee or additional charge for adding a driver to your trip on Turo. Only the guest who booked the trip (primary driver) can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to request to add authorised drivers before your trip starts, though you can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress with no extra charges.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.

Is Turo a rental car company?

No. Unlike rental car companies, Turo is a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace where you can book directly from trusted local car owners in the US, Canada, and the UK. Turo does not own any vehicles — Turo hosts share their own personal cars and set their own prices, discounts, vehicle availability, and delivery options.

What types of sports cars, luxury cars, or exotics can I book in Aberdeen?

Browse a wide range of luxury vehicles for all kinds of occasions and budgets on Turo in Aberdeen. Use the “Category” filter to search through all available luxury sports cars in your area. You can also use the “Deluxe class” or “Super Deluxe class” filters to browse premium or luxury car models.
