Top 10 Tips for booking Edinburgh Airport car hire
by Bethanie Ashley
Choosing a car hire company seems to be a bit hit and miss. Some people have their own tried and tested favourites but are they getting the best on offer? Others just don't know where to start. In either case a helping hand would not go amiss. Pre-booked car rental direct from the airport terminals is actually very easy.
These top ten tips will help you to cut down on the time and effort finding and choosing the best Edinburgh Airport car rental company for your needs.
1.Book the right vehicle for your needs When booking you should make sure that you have opted for the type of vehicle which is most suited to your requirements, i.e., 4-wheel drive, people carrier or nippy runabout. You will need to pre-book child seats, booster seats, ski racks or roof racks and bear in mind you will need to put the luggage somewhere, so check your choice of car will allow for this.
2.Stick to the truth It is important to be honest with your chosen car hire company. Some companies impose age restrictions or surcharges for drivers under 25 or over 65 - and do come clean about endorsements otherwise your insurance may be held invalid in the case of a claim.
3.Check the Edinburgh car hire small print Always read the terms and conditions which provide information on any limited mileage, deposit for a full fuel tank, one way rentals, congestion charges, parking and traffic fines and cancellation charges. These details can normally be easily found on the individual car hire company web sites. Keep reading for details of where to find these companies all in one place.
4. Car hire Edinburgh opening times Check that your chosen car hire company is open 24/7 at the terminal and that there is a key drop facility for returns in case you are running late.
5.Check for damage When collecting your car, check around the vehicle for damage and get a signature from the Edinburgh Airport car rental company acknowledging any damage you may find.
6.Confirm fuel Ensure you know what type of fuel your vehicle takes, it is not always obvious, and can result in a catastrophe if you fill the car up with the wrong juice!
7.Pre-Departure Checks Check and mark down the fuel gauge and mileage readings before you set off. Most Edinburgh Airport car hire companies will request that you return the vehicle with the same fuel the car had in the tank when you collected the vehicle and mileage restrictions are often detailed in your terms and conditions.
8.Don't Get Lost! On arrival at the Airport, the companies offering car hire can be found in the main Terminal Building. Ask for a map for your journey, all good hire car companies will supply them.
9.Book in Advance for Early Bird Discounts It is definitely advantageous to book in advance, this will get you the best rates in comparison to just turning up on the day. Some companies also offer early booking discounts - so get on the case as soon as you have confirmed flight details.
10.Search Online for Edinburgh Airport Car Rental A large number of companies offer Edinburgh Airport car hire, so finding and choosing the best one for your needs can be time consuming. The internet has helped to cut down the research time, and websites such as the Edinburgh Airport Information site provides information on Edinburgh Airport car hire all in one place, putting an end to trawling through the internet looking for what you want.

Top tips for booking your holiday car hire
Top tips for booking your holiday car hire
by Harry Lawrance
Hiring a car for your holiday this year is a great way of getting around and exploring the area. Having a car available to you on your holiday gives you the freedom and flexibility to schedule your own trips and excursions at times that suit you. It also allows you to see some of the sights that you might not see if you were to stick to the well trodden tourist routes.
If you've never hired a car before, the following holiday car hire tips should come in handy...
* To be sure you get the right hire car at the right price, check travelsupermarket.com to compare cheap holiday car hire deals from over 25 websites.
* When booking your car hire, if you are travelling to a country where the weather is expected to be warm, don't take it for granted that your rental car will have air conditioning. Make sure that it is included before confirming your booking. If you require extras such as child seats, these can usually be ordered as an extra at the time of booking.
* Generally the minimum age required to hire a car is 21, but in certain countries, some companies will require the driver to be older. The driver must also have held a full driving licence for at least a year. Before you leave for the airport, make sure you have packed your driving licence (both the photocard AND the paper counterpart) as you may be required to produce it.
* When you collect the car, be sure to check for any dents, scratches or marks. If you find any damage, report it to the car hire representative to be sure that they are aware of it. If they are unaware of the damage, you could end up footing the bill when you return the car. Also, if you have paid for a full tank of petrol, be sure to check the level before driving away.
* Before driving, familiarise yourself with the driving laws in your destination country and with the car (for example where the indicators, lights etc are). Plan your route and bear in mind that the signs may be written in a foreign language.
* When the time comes to head home, be sure to return the car at the time specified. Most car hire agreements are made on a 24 hour basis so if the car is returned late, you may be charged for an extra days hire.
