Why hire a car?
A hire car offers the flexibility and comfort you don't always get with public transport; pop the sat-nav on and off you go in your air-conditioned vehicle! Explore your surroundings at your leisure, to your schedule without waiting in the rain for a bus!
Think it may be more expensive? If you total the cost of a week's worth of public transport costs, tube, bus and train tickets, taxi fares and the like, car hire may very well come out cheaper!
The car rental providers at Aberdeen Airport can be found at the Car Rental village on the far side of the T1/T3 Long Stay Car Park.
*Calls to this number will cost up to 7p per minute plus your phone company's network access charge.
Car Hire Excess Insurance
When hiring a car abroad, you know that you'll be libable for that car. For instance, if it were to get stolen or damaged, you'll need to pay the rental company when you're returning the car to them. However, with buying car hire excess insurance, you'll be protected from the extra cost as you can claim that money back should an accident occur. Majority of the car hire companies will add some form of insurance but it might not always include excess insurance or all the costs. So make sure to check different provider's policies when booking your car hire!
We highly recommend that you use the

service when it comes to vehicle cover. Policies will protect you from a range of problems such as; Flat battery, damage & theft, wrong fuel damage and much more!
