Pros:

Friendly customer service and easy pickup and drop off

Cons:

Usually a rental agent goes through the contract in detail and we would have caught the car insurance they added that we didn't need. Our fault for not reading carefully before we signed but we were disappointed discovering they tacked on the expense without asking.

Top tips for renting a car at Sumburgh Airport, Shetland

  • Car hire at Lerwick Sumburgh Airport (LSI) will provide many advantages for exploring this remote region of the Scottish Islands, as public transport is relatively scarce. Hiring a car will enable you access to the more remote areas and give you opportunity to explore the rugged wilderness and dramatic coastlines that the North Atlantic regions are famous for. As the main airport of the Northern Shetlands, it’s location is around 25 miles south of Lerwick, in the parish of Dunrossness, which is home to a native puffin community that roost on Sumburgh Head near the airport.
  • Be aware that Lerwick Sumburgh Airport is only open between the hours of 06:30-20:00 during the week and until 15:00 on a Saturday. Sunday hours are 12:00-20:00. If you are using a car hire at Lerwick Sumburgh Airport, there is a free parking lot that is valid for 2h, which may be useful on your return. After this, it is only around £3 for 24h, with exemption for residents who can access free parking at most times. NHS workers and blue badge holders who are travelling between islands are also exempt from charges.
  • You can find local transport information in Lerwick Sumburgh Airport, near to the car hire facilities.  There is also one combined shop and café facility in the main terminal where you can get refreshments or buy souvenirs. Pay phones are also available and you can find a tourist information point that includes computer access for your convenience.
  • On leaving Lerwick Sumburgh Airport, you can connect directly to the A970 road to Lerwick, which will take around 30min. The single-track fenced road is fairly narrow and winding, so take care if driving after dark. The Shetland Island Road networks cover around 625 miles, which connect to most islands. Bear in mind, that car ferries only serve the larger islands, of which there are six, so if you intend to travel to smaller more remote islands, you may have to leave your hire car and pick it up on your return.
  • Book your rental car at Sumburgh Airport, Shetland at least 3 weeks before your trip in order to get a below-average price
