KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Aberdeen

  • There is hardly a better way to explore the eastern coastline of Scotland and all the attractions of Aberdeen – such as the Maritime Museum or the Art Gallery – or the inner Scottish countryside than by renting a car. Benefit from the flexibility and a sense of freedom when visiting the coastal city when you get your own rental car.
  • Aberdeen Airport is located about six and a half miles from the heart of Aberdeen and travelers can rent a car directly from there to be in the city in about twenty minutes. There are various onsite car rental agencies of internationally renowned companies like Avis, Hertz, and Europcar, to name a few.
  • In Aberdeen, like the rest of the UK, cars drive on the left side of the road, plus the steering wheel is on the right-hand side of the car. Travelers who are not used to this should consider renting a GPS system with the car, as it makes it easier to navigate on the other side of the road. Remember to enter roundabouts clockwise and be extra attentive at intersections.
  • Peak times in Aberdeen are usually around 6-9 am and 4-7 pm in Aberdeen during the week, and traffic can increase dramatically with waiting hours sometimes as long as 1 hour. Try to avoid these times for driving if possible and find ways through little alleys and streets rather than bit arterial roads like the A96, for instance.
  • Aberdeen, like all other Scottish cities, is best explored by car. Moving around Aberdeen is easy, which makes renting a car from cheap car rentals in Aberdeen ideal. Explore the vast stretch of Aberdeen right off the airport after renting a car at the airport kiosks. However, we advise renting outside the airport to eliminate kiosk fees that increase the rental cost. There are convenient locations to rent a car away from the Aberdeen International Airport (ABZ), such as Balmedie Country Park (11 km), Aberdeen city centre (9.3 km), and ACT Aberdeen (8.5 km). You can even specify your own pick-up and drop-off location for your car that is near the car rental office or city centre.
  • While driving in Aberdeen, the main road you need to know is the A96 highway, which is the Aberdeen to Inverness road that passes next to the airport. The airport is connected by the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route at the Craibstone exit which is about 1.6 km from the main terminal. If you need to beat the traffic to and from the airport, consider driving on Highway A90, which joins the A92 past Blackdog interchange and goes onwards to Ellon. When driving into the city from the airport, avoid Anderson Drive, as it usually has traffic snarl-ups. Keep in mind that the speed limit on the motorways is 70 mph and 60 mph in rural areas, while urban areas are restricted to 30 mph.
  • The majority of cars on the Aberdeen car rentals roster have manual transmissions. To get an automatic, consider reserving a car 2-3 months before you arrive in Aberdeen. If you wish to have your vehicle fitted with a few extras like a screen, GPS, or a cool box, notify the car rental company. The Scottish terrain is fair, which means you won't need off-road-oriented cars. Most compact cars and sedans traverse the terrain just fine. However, if you need to adventure off the beaten path, consider renting SUVs from cheap car rentals in Aberdeen, that cost a little extra when fitted with off-road gear.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Aberdeen for C$ 72 or less
  • Book your rental car in Aberdeen at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Compact rental cars in Aberdeen are around 43% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in Aberdeen

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Aberdeen?

    As Aberdeen is located in the north, it is wise to rent a 4-wheel-drive car, especially when visiting during the winter. Parking and traffic can be challenging in the city, so opt for a smaller car if possible, as it can fit into more parking spaces and will also need less gas – which can get pretty expensive in Europe and the UK.

  • What’s the speed limit in Aberdeen?

    Even though the rest of European countries uses the metric system, in the UK the imperial system prevails to some extent and speed limits are given in miles per hour. Bear in mind that the posted signs are on the left side of the road. General regulations permit 30 mph in residential areas, but it goes down to 20 mph around schools. 50 mph is permitted on rural roads and up to 70 mph on freeways (called motorways in the UK and usually marked with an “M”).

  • Where are the best places to park in Aberdeen?

    On-street parking in Aberdeen is usually time restricted and metered, with a fee of around £1 ($1.27) per 20 minutes. There are also various parking lots and garages available, some of which are even free of charge. The Denburn, Chapel Street, or Frederick Street parking lots, for instance, can be used without paying a fee after 5pm.

  • How much does it cost to rent a car in Aberdeen?

    On average a rental car in Aberdeen costs C$ 84 per day.

  • Can I rent an automatic car in Aberdeen?

  • What side of the road do I drive on in Aberdeen?

    Drive on the left side of the road and turn left at roundabouts. While driving on dual carriageways, use the outside lane to overtake. However, you can overtake on the right on single-carriageways, peripheral routes, or tertiary roads.

  • Do I need winter tires to drive in Aberdeen?

    It snows in Aberdeen during the winter, which means winter tires come in handy. However, it is not mandatory to have a rented car with winter tires. Avoid driving during extreme snow or when there’s limited visibility.

They were really helpful. My plane and transport to the agency was going to make me get there after closing. They were wonderful and waited for me after closing so I was able to get my car.

Vehicle I booked was not available. I was not informed so as to make alternative arrangement. I was offered an inadequate alternative at pickup time. My family was thrown into a panic state as we try to get the right Vehicle at exorbitant price. It was a very bad experience for us.
