Best car hire options in Dumfries for hiking trips?
I'm planning a hiking trip to Dumfries next month and need to hire a car to access some of the trails. Does anyone have recommendations for reliable car hire companies in the area? Ideally looking for something affordable but reliable, and a car that can handle some rough tracks. Any tips on booking in advance vs. on arrival? Thanks!

I've found Arnold Clark 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've used Enterprise in {location} several times and they've been great. Their rates are reasonable and the vehicles are well-maintained. They also have a good range of options from small cars to larger SUVs.
If you're looking for something budget-friendly, try National. They're a local firm with good rates. The cars aren't the newest but they're reliable and perfect for exploring the area.
