Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Thurso car reservation?
You should get a full refund on your prepaid reservation if you advise us a minimum of six hours ahead of pickup. Check your car rental agreement for the finer details. Our Customer Service Portal may have the answers too.
What types of cars can I rent in Thurso?
Whatever meets your needs! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you're traveling with the family, or scale up to a premium if it's sophistication you're after. Or, choose an economy model — the most popular rental in Thurso. Affordable and with excellent mileage, they're ideal for singles, couples or anyone else who doesn't require a large amount of space. They're particularly suited to driving around cities. Squeezing into tight parking spots will be a cinch!
Where can I go on a road trip from Thurso?
Thurso is full of surprises, but don't limit yourself to just the one place. Arrange a set of wheels and head off to see what else awaits in the wider region. These are some great options:

  • Head to Aberdeen for a fantastic sightseeing experience. Roughly 177 kilometers from Thurso, it has lots of amazing attractions such as His Majesty's Theatre.
  • Why not enjoy everything on offer in Inverness too? Popular sights in this buzzing city include Urquhart Castle. Inverness is roughly 129 kilometers from Thurso.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Thurso with Expedia?
Expedia makes it easy and fast to compare rates, offers and rental providers, and to check customer ratings. Combine your Thurso car rental with flight or hotel bookings to make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Thurso?
Thurso requires drivers to be 21 and over to be able to rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and tighter rental conditions. Most companies impose a daily young renter fee on top of the standard rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like compact and mid-size) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to premium and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Thurso?
Most of the time, all you'll need is a valid driver's license and credit card in your name when collecting your car. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you decide to opt out of the company's insurance plan. These requirements often differ between rental outlets, so it's a good idea to check the terms and conditions.
What side of the road do you drive on in Thurso?
In Thurso, like the rest of Scotland, motorists drive on the left-hand side of the road. Take it slow at first and build confidence driving on the left if it's your first time.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Thurso?
Yes, and the awesome news is suppliers often offer lower rates the longer you rent. Scroll through our long-term car rental deals in Thurso and drive away with a serious bargain.
Where can I find a Thurso car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Thurso rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, be mindful that some will charge additional fees. It's best to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
