KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Midlothian

  • Utilizing car rentals in Midlothian enhances your flexibility when visiting different parts of the city. Rented cars allow visitors to choose their own preferred routes and departure schedules when accessing particular destinations, something that is not possible with public buses or trains, which are the most affordable transport options. One of the places you may consider visiting while in Midlothian Tynecastle Park is a football stadium and home ground of Heart of Midlothian (Hearts), a Scottish Professional Football League club. You can move around with ease while carrying your packed lunch and other personal items in the automobile.
  • Travelers arriving in Midlothian by air can reserve their preferred car at Richmond International Airport (RIC) to enjoy self-drive to the various destinations. The airport does not have an onsite car rental facility, but all the major Midlothian car rentals, including Enterprise, Dollar, and Budget, have courtesy buses to ferry customers from the airport to their respective car rental offices. The nearest car rental facility is about 10 minute drive from the airport.
  • You need to keep in mind a few things when driving your using car rentals in Midlothian in order to enjoy and stay safe while doing so. Although most of downtown Midlothian's roads are in good condition, there are a lot of bicycles there, especially in the morning and evening. Many of these cyclists have a propensity to abruptly cross the road. Always be on guard to avoid running into anything. You should also be aware that the majority of Midlothian drivers do not tolerate tailgating and view it as a nasty act. Always leave plenty of space between you and the vehicle in front of you.
  • The convenience of using Midlothian car rentals is greatly diminished by some of the challenges associated with city driving. Most of the city's roads face severe traffic during the morning rush hour, from 7 am to 9:30 am, and the evening rush hour, from 4 pm to 6 pm. Midlothian Turnpike/Woolridge Road is the worst-affected road. If you are to use Midlothian Turnpike/Woolridge Road to your destination, consider taking an alternate route or leaving about 15 minutes before the supposed departure time.
  • Book your rental car in Midlothian at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Cons:

I didn’t even get to rent the car because I didn’t have a valid pay stub that was valid for the last 30 days prior to renting. But due to COVID-19 that was impossible considering I was laid off back in March. Was told a bank statement would’ve worked but Enterprise doesn’t take that as a “proof” anymore so I’m not even sure what the point of telling me that was.

The person behind the desk did not explain the contact when he wanted me to sign it. He did not make eye contact at all. Outside of the car was dirty. He upgraded my car to a SUV without informing me in advance. I only knew when he gave me the keys. I didn’t want a bigger car. But took it anyway. The price offer for tool pay was $10 more than what was advertised in the store. Thanks!

Pros:

Drop off was easy

Cons:

The person was rude when getting the car. Then the tire pressure light went off. I had to go to a mechanic to adjust tires. The USB port wasn’t working. The car wouldn’t go above 52 mph and was bucking. Overall, the car and the company was unacceptable.

I know all of Hertz's materials state that cars are non-smoking, but I could smell old smoke. I also have incredibly sensitive skin and could feel the reaction coming less than 30 minutes after starting to drive the car. Overall, it was not a great experience. Even if the rest of the service is wonderful, but the car makes my skin sensitive flare up, I don't count it as a positive experience because of the time it takes for my skin to go back to normal after exposure to the rancid air.
