Which types of Edinburgh Hertz car hire are recommended for booking?

Travel expenses and size of your party are critical factors when it comes to booking Edinburgh Hertz car hire. Compacts and economy cars are extremely popular choices among budget-conscious singles and couples for their affordability, handling and ease of parking. Alternatively, we highly recommend people carriers and passengers vans to families and groups of five or more for their generous seating and storage capacity. The agency offers a select group of green vehicles for those who insist on driving cars with a reduced carbon footprint, but when cost is not a concern always opt for a deluxe SUV or luxury car.

Hertz attendants were very unprofessional. They blamed us for car damage that was there when we picked it up. Would not recommend using themReviewed 2025 May 06

After waiting several hours, it seemed like the people ahead of me weren't getting cars. I was still in line with at least another hour to go. Eventually I decided to rent a car from another company.Reviewed 2024 Aug 16
