Things to Do In and Around Edinburgh Airport
Edinburgh's Royal Mile lies between the city's castle and palace, and is an essential part of town to visit. Why not also make full use of your hire car and visit stunning Loch Lomond, just a couple of hours away?
Other things to do in Edinburgh include a visit to the imposing castle on Castle Rock, St Giles Cathedral and the Lace Market. If you love theatre and the arts, come down in August for the annual Edinburgh Fringe arts festival.
Driving Information in Edinburgh
Edinburgh is a very bicycle-friendly city, so be aware of cyclists. There are no toll roads in Scotland. Drive slowly in wooded areas since there could be wild animals on the road. Some country roads are too narrow for two vehicles, so anticipate oncoming traffic on bends and use safe passing places.

To rent a car from Enterprise Rent-A-Car in the United States and Canada, you will need the following:
- To be 25 years old
- A valid driving licence with a photo
- A photo ID (for example: a driving licence or passport)
- Credit or debit card (check the acceptable forms of payment at the location you're renting from)
Some locations may require additional information, including but not limited to:
- An International Driving Permit (IDP): If the licence is written in a language or characters different from those of the country of rental, an IDP is also required. Renters are advised to check whether local authorities require foreign drivers to present an International Driving Permit to avoid the risk of potential fines. Renters with licences from countries that are not part of the International Driving Permit Agreement should carry a certified translation.
- Return travel and accommodation information: Visitors to the UK must also provide proof of return travel and accommodation information while in the UK.
As a customer, you have a choice as to how you would like to pay for fuel.
Fuel policy at non-airport locations:
- You may refuel the vehicle to the same fuel level you received when you picked up the vehicle, or if you choose not to refuel the vehicle to the same fuel level, you will be charged the local Enterprise rate which is typically above the local pump price. An additional refuelling charge may apply at some locations.
- A full tank of fuel is not guaranteed.

An additional refuelling charge may apply at some locations.
- You may opt to pre-pay for fuel — pre-pay gives you two conveniences:
- You can avoid the hassle of having to fuel up the vehicle before returning.
- The pre-pay fuel option is calculated at the local rate of fuel minus a per gallon discount.
Note: Pre-paid fuel is only sold in full tanks at the discounted price per gallon and is not refundable. Local fuel rates will vary by the area you are renting a vehicle.
