Affordable car rental in Dumfries for a weekend trip?

Lisa Parker•1 month ago•949 views•Southern Scotland

Has anyone hired a car from Dumfries 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?

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

I've found Thrifty 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 Thrifty 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.
