Top tips for renting a car at Inverness Airport

  • Finding car hire at Inverness Airport is remarkably simple; once you’ve come through the Arrivals Terminal you can find the various rental company desks located in the terminal building, while the car collection areas are only just across the road. Some car hire companies are located away from the airport, and as there are only a few companies at the airport itself, we recommend booking your vehicle online prior to your departure to avoid any potential delays caused by waiting in line. Booking through KAYAK will allow you to identify the deals with collection of vehicles at the terminal or if a shuttle is required.
  • Inverness Airport car hire is the perfect way to explore the Scottish Highlands. Like its airport, Inverness city is very small and thus easy to get around on foot and by bicycle. However, though the city is historic and the capital of the Highlands region, the surrounding areas are the real sights to be seen. Renting a car to get around and experience the natural beauty of this area is a better option to take when comparing it to public transport, especially as bus services in these areas are infrequent and difficult to rely on.
  • Once you’ve been able to collect your vehicle, the journey into Inverness city centre isn’t very complicated. The B9309 road leads onto the A96 into the city, and is only around nine miles away, and takes about 15min to drive. So, if you’re staying in the city, the short drive away from the airport is a bonus. From the airport, via the A96, A9 and A82, you can also reach Loch Ness, one of the most famous lakes in the world. It’s only about a 35min drive away, so you could even start your sightseeing tour immediately after your arrival. The stunning Cairngorms National Park is also only a 45min drive south on the A96 and A9 from the airport.
  • If you want to arrange car hire at Inverness Airport, make sure you are aware of the car hire company’s office hours. This is important for collection and drop-off purposes, as each company has a different policy when it comes to the time you collect and return your vehicle. If you need to collect or return the car outside of normal office hours, we recommend notifying the car hire company in advance to avoid any unexpected additional charges.
  • Book your rental car at Inverness Airport at least 2 weeks before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs about renting a car at Inverness Airport

  • What documents do I need to provide to hire a car at Inverness Airport?

    To complete your rental agreement, you will need to provide photo identification such as your passport, a credit or debit card for payment purposes and a valid driving licence. It’s important to note that some car hire companies do not accept debit cards, so be mindful to check your chosen company’s policy prior to finalising your booking.

  • Which car hire companies are the easiest to use at Inverness Airport?

    For car hire at Inverness Airport, we recommend arranging your vehicle with Alamo or Enterprise, who both have the best customer satisfaction ratings, particularly for the friendly service by staff. Also, though both companies have a short shuttle service from the airport terminal to the car collection point, this pickup is very swift, stress free and arranged in time for your arrival.

  • What vehicle options do I have when hiring a car at Inverness Airport?

    When hiring a car at Inverness Airport, you have an array of choices that will meet your needs. If you’re travelling by yourself or with one other person, there are compact and mini options available to make driving in the city that little more comfortable. SUVs are also available for those wanting more space for extra gear and need that little bit of help when it comes to tackling those highland roads.

  • Which car rental companies will pick you up at Inverness Airport?

    Car rental companies that offer shuttle or pick-up services from Inverness Airport to off-airport locations include Arnold Clark, Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz, keddy by Europcar, National, and Thrifty.

Car collection counter is right within the terminal and car collection is right outside the terminal. That made both collection and drop off very convenient.

I booked an 8 seater van and was given a Peugeot 5008 instead. Had booked the vehicle via a 3rd party some 3 months before hand. The reason given for the change of vehicle was that they were busy. I did question that when the booking was taken they had the vehicle I wanted so why not now? No real reason was given other than they were busy. To give the staff their due, they did offer me 2 vehicles for the same price if the 5008 was not big enough. I must also say that the staff were pleasant ands tried their best around the situation they had to deal with which was in all likelyhood out of their control. Other than the wrong vehicle and the delay the replacement vehicle caused the vehicle was good and drop off very easy.

I booked a hire car for New Year but when I got to the desk to pick it up I was told that I'd booked it as an American citizen and that I needed to pay nearly double as a result!!!!! I was basically stranded at the airport with my young family and no car. Would never book through this company again.

Excellent experience. The only problem was changing my pickup and dropoff Times, because I prepaid through KAYAK. I suspect at a larger airport, with more cars this would have been easier. The staff tried hard to make my change possible.

Besides being expensive, we told them what time we were dropping the car back off and they never mentioned they’d be closed so we had no shuttle to the airport and we had to walk with all of our baggage from Sixt to the airport on dark unlit streets in a foreign country. Very dissatisfied. They also did not have the car they repeatedly told us they’d have. We reserved a small SUV and they offered us a sedan or a slightly larger SUV. Of course there was an up charge for the suv so we got stuck in a sedan for the trip.

Sixt rental in Inverness airport looked after us very well. The shuttle picked us up at the terminal building, the driver was extremely friendly as were the office staff. The car was good looking, clean and pleasure to drive. They offered me an automatic transmission which I appreciated. Drop-off was straightforward with a key dropbox in the terminal building. Returning the car with a full tank of fuel was tricky as the nearest gas station was some distance away.
