Car hire FAQs
Find answers to frequently asked questions about car hires in Aberdeen, including policies, requirements, and more. FAQs were last updated on 9 October 2026.
What are the requirements to hire a car in Aberdeen?
To pick up your car hire in Aberdeen, there are several requirements you'll need to meet and a few things worth noting before arriving at the hire centre. To start with, you must be at least 23 years old and have had a domestic driving licence for at least one year. If you're under 25, make sure to check the surcharge policy; many car hire places in Aberdeen will charge you for being a young driver. Outside of this, there are a few documents you'll need to provide, including your confirmation details, a valid credit card and a valid passport as photo identification. You'll need to bring the same credit card used to make the online booking, and the card owner must be present. You won't be able to hire a car in Aberdeen with someone else's credit card if they aren't there.
What are the rules for driving in Aberdeen?
To make sure you keep yourself and fellow drivers as safe as possible while on the road in your hired car, it's important to be aware of local driving laws. Staying up to date with the local motor vehicle department is a good way to stay apprised of sudden changes to the rules. Driving your car hire in Aberdeen happens on the left-hand side of the road, like the rest of the UK, and passing happens on the right. It is compulsory for all occupants to wear their seatbelts at all times. You cannot use a mobile phone unless accompanied by a hands-free device. Speed limits are indicated along the road with circular signs, and it's important to adhere to them. Lastly, drinking and driving is forbidden in Aberdeen. The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.05%, and going over this can result in heavy fines and even imprisonment.
What type of car is recommended for driving in Aberdeen?
When it comes to the correct choice of car hire in Aberdeen, there aren't any right or wrong answers. You'll want to pick cars according to your needs. Remember that roads in Aberdeen and the rest of Scotland can be narrow in parts, so consider sticking with a smaller, more-compact cheap car hire, like a Hyundai i20 or Fiat 500. If you're travelling with more passengers, consider picking a larger sedan rather than an SUV. Long road trips suit a 4X4 better, as the roads can be steep and rocky in some places.
Where are the best places to park in Aberdeen?
There are numerous car parks available for you to use while moving around Aberdeen in your economy car hire, including a couple of free ones. Much of the parking available in the city centre is monitored by parking meters. If you use on-street parking with a parking meter, you can use RingGo on your smart device to purchase your tickets. You'll also find a variety of council-run car parks throughout Aberdeen, including Gallowgate car park, Summer Street car park, Broomhill Road car park and the multi-storey car park on West North Street.
