Best car hire options in Oban for hiking trips?

Alex Murray•1 month ago•356 views•Scottish Highlands

I'm planning a hiking trip to Oban 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 Hertz 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.

We had a good experience with Lake District Hire last year. They offer free delivery to your accommodation which was really convenient. Their staff were helpful and the booking process was straightforward.
