Inverness car hires from £20/day

Inverness is a city with a long history and whose roads long predate the automobile and, as such, those roads are often slightly small and narrow. Small vehicles are highly recommended as larger vehicles that are common to the U.S. will struggle to fit on these roads, which is why such cars are quite uncommon to see in Inverness. Additionally, parking will be much easier for small cars like sedans, coupes, and compacts as streetside parking spaces are not always the largest.

Drivers can expect to see 20 mph as the standard speed limit for residential streets in Inverness. Additionally, speed limits of 30 mph and 40 mph are seen on thoroughfares and larger streets in Inverness, while highways and expressways in Scotland have speed limits from 60 to 70 mph.

Drivers will find that parking is widely available and much cheaper in Inverness compared to other Scottish towns. There are also plenty of parking lots and garages available in the more densely populated parts of town where streetside parking may be limited. Outside of the most popular areas, streetside parking is the predominant method of parking and is often easily and immediately available.

To get a hire car you must be 21 years of age or older. You must have held your driver's licence for a minimum of 3 years without any major discrepancies. To get a more powerful vehicle, or a luxury car hire, many car hire companies require you to be at least 23 years old. Remember to bring a valid driver’s licence to hire a vehicle, as well as a major debit or credit card that is in the name of the main driver.

If you are driving with young children you must follow the road rules to ensure you’re not breaking the law. The law states children under the age of 12 years old, or those smaller than 135 cm tall, must be in a suitable child restraint. Normal seat belt laws apply thereafter. If your kid is younger than 15 months, then you should put them in a rear-facing seat and strap the seat in with a seat belt.
