Hertz Car Rental in Edinburgh

Hertz operates at Edinburgh Airport's consolidated Car Rental Centre, reached via a covered walkway beside the multi-story car park — a roughly three-minute walk from the terminal with no shuttle required. The counter is open seven days a week from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM; after-hours returns are possible by parking in the designated Hertz area and depositing keys in the secure drop box, though the vehicle remains your responsibility until staff check it in the following morning. Scotland abolished road tolls in 2008, so there are no toll charges anywhere in the region, but Edinburgh does operate a Low Emission Zone in the city centre, running 24 hours a day year-round — most modern rental vehicles meet the required standards, though it is worth confirming compliance at pickup. Fuel is sold by the litre in the UK, with petrol typically running around GBP 1.55–1.59 per litre, so a 50-litre fill costs roughly GBP 78–80. Budget for a deposit hold of at least GBP 200 on a credit card in the primary driver's name — no debit cards are accepted. Drivers under 25 face a young driver surcharge of around GBP 25–30 per day, and anyone whose licence uses a non-Latin script (Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Japanese) must also carry an International Driving Permit alongside the original licence.
