Affordable car rental in Oban for a weekend trip?

David Williams•3 weeks ago•420 views•Scottish Highlands

Has anyone hired a car from Oban 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'd recommend checking out Yorkshire Vehicles. They have a location near the train station and their prices are competitive. I hired a Ford Kuga from them last summer and it was perfect for the narrow roads around the area.

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

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