Tips

Before you set off

The AWPR

The Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (A90) passes close to the airport, letting you bypass the city towards Stonehaven in the south or Ellon in the north.

Low Emission Zone

Aberdeen city centre has a Low Emission Zone. Modern hire cars generally meet the standard, so a standard rental is unlikely to be affected.

Royal Deeside

The A93 follows the Dee west through Banchory and Ballater towards Braemar and the Cairngorms.

Winter roads

Snow can close high routes such as the A93 over Glenshee and the A939 Lecht road. Check conditions before heading into the hills in winter.

Is the AWPR tolled?

What should I know about driving in Aberdeenshire?

Rural roads can be narrow and winding, with farm vehicles and, in the hills, deer. Scotland's drink-drive limit is 50 mg per 100 ml of blood, lower than England's.

Can I return the car to Inverness or Edinburgh?

Yes. Tick "Return to a different location" to compare one-way prices - handy for a trip along the coast to Inverness or south to Edinburgh. A one-way fee may apply.
