Single-track roads
Much of the north and west is single-track. Use passing places to let oncoming cars through or faster traffic overtake, and never park in them.

Inverness Airport at Dalcross puts you on the doorstep of Loch Ness, Skye and the North Coast 500. Away from the towns a car is close to essential, so compare suppliers early and book ahead - summer dates and automatics are especially popular.
Where to collect your car
Some brands have desks in the terminal or the airport's Car Rental Centre, while others work from units on the Dalcross Industrial Estate just along the road, close to the A96. Check whether your offer is on- or off-airport; your voucher explains where to go and whether you'll be met.

Tips
Before you set off
Fill up when you can
Filling stations are few and far between in Sutherland and Wester Ross. Top up whenever you get the chance.
A9 speed cameras
Average speed cameras cover long stretches of the A9 south towards Perth, so keep to the limit all the way.
North Coast 500
The route starts and finishes in Inverness. Allow plenty of time, book accommodation ahead in summer, and expect slow-moving motorhomes.
