Frequently Asked Questions about Car Hire at AER Airport

Which are the age requirements in Edinburgh?

Each car hire company has its own age requirements, but most will rent to people aged between 21 and 69, although it can vary depending on the rental company. If you're under 26, you are likely to have to pay a young driver fee.

Can I add additional drivers to my booking?

Yes. With most companies there is an additional charge to pay for adding an extra driver. You can find information about any possible additional driver fees in the terms and conditions of each offer and also on your rental voucher.

Can I take out extra insurance now?

You can find all the information about what is included and the options for taking out additional insurance in the conditions of each offer and on your rental voucher.

Can I choose the model of the car?

We are never able to confirm the make, model or colour of the car you will receive. Your booking isn’t associated with a specific vehicle (make or model, colour, equipment etc) but is for a group of vehicles with similar characteristics. In the event that the requested group is not available you will be given a vehicle from a higher group at no extra cost.

Do I need a credit card to rent a car?

In most cases the main driver needs a credit card in order to rent a car. Sometimes it is also possible to pay with a debit card. In this case you should contact us and we will try to find a solution.

Will I have to leave a deposit when I collect my car?

For most offers on our website you will be required to leave a security deposit when you collect the car. As long as you bring the car back undamaged at the end of the rental, the money will be unblocked / returned.

How can I cancel my booking or request a refund?

You can cancel your booking using the link below or the link contained in your rental voucher. The cancellation policy for each booking depends on the car hire company.
