Affordable car rental in Aberdeen for a weekend trip?

Alex Murray•1 week ago•315 views•North East Scotland

Has anyone hired a car from Aberdeen recently? I'll be arriving by train and need to rent a car for about a week to explore the surrounding areas. Looking for recommendations on which companies have offices near the station, typical costs, and any tips for getting the best deal. Also, are there any particular models you'd recommend for the local roads?

I've found Yorkshire Vehicles to be the most reliable in the area. They're not always the cheapest, but their vehicles are newer and they don't hit you with unexpected charges at the end. Worth paying a bit extra for peace of mind.

I'd recommend checking out Alamo. They have a location near the train station and their prices are competitive. I hired a Renault Clio from them last summer and it was perfect for the narrow roads around the area.

If you're looking for something budget-friendly, try Thrifty. They're a local firm with good rates. The cars aren't the newest but they're reliable and perfect for exploring the area.
