KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Dundee

  • Dundee is a coastal city in Scotland in the United Kingdom. While there is a public bus system, the benefits of a Dundee car hire is the freedom to explore the city and the surrounding areas at your leisure. North of Dundee is Cairngorms National Park and to the west is Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. Both of these are easily accessed by car and make for great day trips. With a car hire in Dundee, you can explore the national parks and local towns on your schedule, without relying on public transport.
  • You can find a car hire in Dundee at Dundee Airport (DND); some agencies for this are: Andrew Clark, Keddy, Sunnycars and Europcar. As Dundee Airport is a small airport, the companies will have on-site car hire, just a short walk from the terminal building.
  • Dundee is relatively easy to drive in; however, be mindful of the Pedestrian Zone in the city. This is a shopping district where pedestrians might jaywalk without any prior warning. A good way to get around is with GPS navigation, which you can easily add to your car hire in Dundee. Outside of the city are many single track (one lane) roads. If you are driving there and see an oncoming vehicle, you may need to pull into a stopping zone on your left. This would be the same if a driver behind you wishes to overtake your car.
  • Driving in Scotland is on the left-hand side. Overtaking areas are marked by either square signs or black and white poles; it’s important to understand the road rules with these, so read up on it. If you drive outside the city on rural roads, be mindful that the roads can be winding and narrow, with some bridges only wide enough for one car to pass. Be careful when approaching corners, dips and blind summits, as there can be wild animals along the road or oncoming traffic.
  • Compact hire cars in Dundee are around 56% cheaper than other car types, on average

Our original car, Peugeot 2008 was mechanically faulty. The clutch broke and caused the car the inability to move 15/20 minutes after picking up the vehicle. Lots of smoke etc. We were on a motorway at the time, No verge so a dangerous area to stop, we called recovery and after an hour a tow truck was sent, We returned to our pick point and eventually were given a new vehicle, We are from overseas. This did cause some distress to me ( the driver). Also having to pay £65 to return the car to a different location a half hour away was I thought an unnecessary expense.
