Top dining options

Edinburgh has five Michelin-starred restaurants, but you don’t have to choose one of the city’s fine dining restaurants to find fabulous food options. You’ll find everything from exceptional afternoon teas to chocolate-tasting experiences in Edinburgh.

Private guided tours

Look out for after-hour tours of some of Edinburgh’s best attractions, like an evening tour of the Palace of Holyroodhouse, where you can access rooms not usually open to the public.

Prestigious golf resorts

Scotland is considered one of the best places in the world for a round of golf, and you can reach some of Scotland’s best golf resorts, such as Gleneagles and St Andrews, within an easy driving distance from Edinburgh.

Airport pickup made easy

Skip the rental car counter — easy pickup offered by hosts at hundreds of airports across the US, UK, Canada, France, and Australia.

Parking lot pickup & return

Rather than hustling at the busy terminal curbside, take your time picking up the car at approved parking lots or garages. Check in, load up your luggage, and get comfortable with the car without a big rush.

Parking & airport fees

When picking up at some airports, you may be charged an airport fee according to the agreements in place with the airport. Parking fees are not covered by Turo — communicate with your host to confirm their process.

Free cancellation

Cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before your trip starts, unless you opt to receive a non-refundable trip discount when you book. Because life happens and it helps to be flexible when it does.

Driving tips in Edinburgh

Purple squiggle

Rent an automatic

Many luxury car rental options in Edinburgh have automatic transmissions, which can help if you’re visiting Scotland from overseas and need to quickly get used to driving on the left side of the road.

Passing places

Once you’ve left Edinburgh behind, you may find yourself on single-track roads in the Scottish countryside, where you’ll encounter passing places to allow oncoming traffic to pass. On these roads, prepare to slow down often for tight corners and wildlife.

Add an additional driver

On Turo, you can add an extra driver for free. It’s a great way to split the driving on a road trip, whether there’s a Scottish whisky aficionado in your group and you need a designated driver or you want to take turns behind the wheel of a luxury rental car in Edinburgh.

Frequently asked questions in Edinburgh

What do I need to book a car on Turo?

To book a car on Turo in the UK, you must create a Turo account, be 21 years old or older with 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 future road trips, business trips, and family vacations!

What types of cars can I book in Edinburgh?

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

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

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 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.

How does renting a car from a Commercial Host on Turo work?

Commercial Hosts are Turo-approved independent rental car companies or small rental car businesses that rent out their cars on Turo, and are available in countries all over the world.

Unlike the usual peer-to-peer Turo experience, you may be asked to sign a rental agreement or provide a refundable security deposit when you rent a car with Commercial Hosts. Commercial Hosts also provide their own physical damage protection and insurance.

Are there cars available near the Edinburgh airport?

Yes, there are hundreds of cars available on Turo at locations near the Edinburgh airport. After arriving at Edinburgh Airport (EDI), have your car rental alternative delivered for pick-up and dropoff at your Edinburgh hotel, a convenient train station, or the address of your vacation rental to save time and hassle.

If you’ll be arriving by train or other public transport, you can also have your car delivered to Waverley Railway Station or wherever is most convenient in the city centre.

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

You can find nearly endless options for sports cars, luxury cars, and high-performance exotics in Edinburgh on Turo. Filter your search by category, vehicle type, or vehicle make to refine your results, or try the “Deluxe Class” and “Super Deluxe Class” filters to browse high-end luxury car rental alternatives in Edinburgh.

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 can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests in the US and Canada can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.

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.
