Car rental Edinburgh City Centre – why rent with Avis?
Brimming with medieval wonders, narrow cobbled streets and sights that give this city a unique charm, the city centre of Edinburgh is also a major hub for culture and art. The city is in turn surrounded by pristine rural countryside and marvellous landscapes. Pick up your preferred vehicle from our rental office in Edinburgh city centre and discover everything this cosmopolitan city has to offer.
In response to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, Avis has put additional safety measures in place so you can make your next booking with confidence. These include stringent sanitisation of cars following WHO guidelines—with special attention paid to areas common to touch such as door handles, steering wheels and controls, flexible cancellation policies and a fully contactless car rental experience.
Where to go from Edinburgh City Centre, East London Street
Whether you’re visiting Edinburgh for business, a weekend getaway or an extended trip, renting your car from our Edinburgh East London Street branch puts you at the heart of Edinburgh city centre. The branch is conveniently located for all the city’s main sights, hotels and restaurants, and is less than a 5-minute walk from Haymarket Railway Station and a 15-minute walk from Edinburgh Waverley Railway Station.
While the city of Edinburgh is full of popular sights, there is no better way to unlock the magic of Scotland than from behind the wheel of your hire car. Travel north out of the city to connect with the A92 and visit the rolling hills and ancient fishing villages of Fife. St. Andrews, with its famous university founded in 1410, is an excellent spot to stretch your legs, just 50 miles north of Edinburgh city centre.
If you’re yearning for Scottish wilderness, the majestic Highlands are about three hours north of Edinburgh city centre. Connect with the M90 and then the A9 for Inverness; from there you can go hunting for the ever-elusive Loch Ness Monster, or travel west to Fort William.
The M8 west of Edinburgh links directly with Glasgow, while access to the north of England is made easy via the A1 running south out of the city.
