scotland Travel Tips

Hire a car

Our car hire partners can arrange car hire for you - everything from compact saloons to 4 x 4 and luxury vehicles, at highly competitive rates, brokered personally for you. Available from all the major Scottish cities and airports. The nearest main branch to the hotel for pick up and drop off would be at Glasgow or Fort William although for a small extra charge we can arrange a 'meet and greet' service here at Oban - look at www.obancarhire.co.uk .

Otherwise firstly go on to www.scotland-carhire.co.uk and fill in the online enquiry form there.

Or why not hire a classic car for the touring holiday of your dreams. Imagine 'cruising' Atgyll and the West Highlands in a Mini Cooper, taking in the sensational Island countryside in a MGB Roadster -   or nipping over to Glencoe - and on to Ben Nevis and Fort William in a 1966 Jaguar S Type. We can help arrange the tour of your choice in the car of your dreams. Self drive tours whether in a classic car, luxury vehicle or 4x4.
