Average Car Rental Prices in Aberdeen

The bustling Scottish city of Aberdeen, known for its beautiful architecture and vibrant cultural scene, is also a hub for those looking to rent a car. The average car rental prices in Aberdeen vary depending on several factors including the type of vehicle, rental duration, and the season in which you book.

Generally, an economy car can be hired for approximately £30 to £50 per day, with prices potentially increasing for more premium models or during peak tourist seasons. For those requiring more space, an SUV might cost between £50 to £70 daily. Discounts may be available for longer rental periods, making weekly rates more economical.

Always keep an eye out for special deals and offers from various rental companies. Some of them might include additional services like insurance, unlimited mileage, or free upgrades which can significantly affect the overall cost of your rental. Booking in advance, especially outside of high season, can often lead to better rates compared to other cities like Birmingham. However, it's always wise to compare prices online to ensure you get the best deal.

FAQ

1. Do I need an international driving permit to rent a car in Aberdeen?

If your driving licence is issued in the EU/EEA, it is accepted throughout Great Britain without an international permit. For licences in non-Latin scripts (e.g. Arabic, Chinese, Japanese), an International Driving Permit (IDP) is required alongside your original licence. It's always a good idea to carry an IDP as a backup.

2. How far in advance should I book a rental car in Aberdeen?

For the best rates, we recommend booking your rental car in Aberdeen at least 3–6 weeks ahead. During peak season (June–September) or major events, booking 2–3 months in advance is advisable. Early booking not only guarantees availability but also unlocks lower prices and a wider choice of vehicles.

3. Can I return the rental car in a different city or country?

Yes, one-way rentals are available with most major companies in Great Britain. Returning within the same country usually costs €30–100 extra. Cross-border returns may be restricted or carry significant additional fees — check the rental terms carefully. Always confirm the one-way policy when booking.

4. When will the security deposit be returned to my card?

The security deposit is typically released within 7–14 business days after you return the car, provided there is no damage. Some banks may take up to 30 days to process the refund. The deposit is a temporary hold on your credit card — the actual amount blocked depends on the vehicle class and insurance coverage chosen.

5. What should I do if I get a traffic fine?

If you receive a traffic fine while driving in Great Britain, the rental company will typically forward it to you along with an administration fee (€20–50). Pay the fine promptly to avoid escalation. If you disagree, you can appeal through the issuing authority. Always photograph any unclear signage as evidence. Keep your rental agreement handy for reference.

6. What should I do in case of an accident with the rental car?

If you have an accident in Aberdeen:

  1. Ensure everyone's safety and call emergency services if needed (112 in Europe)
  2. Document everything — take photos of damage, the scene, and other vehicles
  3. Fill in the accident report form (usually found in the glove compartment)
  4. Contact the rental company immediately
  5. Do not admit fault or sign documents you don't understand

Your rental insurance will cover damages within the agreed terms.

7. Do I need to return the car with a full tank of fuel?

This depends on the fuel policy you selected:

  • Full-to-full — the most common and economical option. You receive the car with a full tank and must return it full.
  • Full-to-empty — you pay for a full tank upfront and can return it empty, but this is usually more expensive.

Always check your rental agreement. Returning a “full-to-full“ car without refuelling results in a costly per-litre surcharge.
