We had a wonderful day exploring the highlands because we were able to rent a car from Shahzad! He was wonderful to communicate with. We had some difficulty working the hybrid style, as it is different than what we were used to, and he called within minutes to help us. I would absolutely rent from him again!
Everything was really smooth. Waqas was communicating on time and with appropriate information. The car is in excellent condition. Would definitely rent again from Waqas.
Owen was really communicative and flexible with our rental. The car is super spacious and very easy to drive. Thank you!

Perfect! Easily the best car rental I've ever had in multiple countries. I'll never rent from the big companies again. Professional and kind.
It was great. Very good coordination and clear instructions. Car was good, enjoyed driving it.
Car was great, no squeaks or rattles, fuel mileage was 45mpg with a big roofbox on top over 700 miles around Scotland. Maneuverable and peppy, the sound system is very balanced and the Bluetooth connects automatically once you pair it. The host was lovely, even gave us blankets to have in case we stop somewhere and want to sit on the grass. Had no problem with our slight delay on the way back. Would definitely recommend booking with her : )

Discovering East Lothian's coastal treasures and Edinburgh's historic landmarks
East Lothian offers spectacular coastal drives along rugged cliffs, pristine beaches, and charming fishing villages that stretch from Musselburgh to North Berwick.

Ample parking near the harbour makes it easy to explore the beaches, while the scenic coastal road offers stunning views of the Firth of Forth islands.
Musselburgh's historic racecourse and ancient heritage

The town's historic high street features traditional Scottish architecture and local shops selling regional specialities. Convenient parking throughout the town centre allows easy exploration of the historic sites and the beautiful stretch of coastline that borders the community.
