Before you set off

What self-drivers want to know first.

How old do I need to be to drive the hire car?

Usually 21, with some companies 23. Under 25 a young driver surcharge may apply – your offer tells you what applies to your trip.

Which driving licence do I need?

A valid EU or UK licence is enough. The main driver needs a credit card in their own name for the deposit.

What about driving on the left?

Most people get used to it on day one. That’s why we keep the first stage short and the car automatic. More in the journal

Are ferries and bridges included?

Ferries that belong to the route are listed in the itinerary. Where a reservation is needed, we take care of it.

Are flights included?

No, you book international flights yourself. We’re happy to suggest arrival and departure times for Edinburgh or Glasgow.

How do deposit and cancellation work?

Once you confirm, you pay a 40% deposit and the balance six weeks before arrival. Cancellation terms are in the offer.

Travelling with children?

Of course. We order the right child seats with the hire car – that’s why the form asks for their ages. Family rooms on request.

When is the best time to go?

Our routes run from April to October. The longest days are from May to September; spring and autumn are quieter. More in the journal
