Car Rental in Edinburgh

Convertible rental in Edinburgh

The most widespread cabriolet models offered for rent in Great Britain are: BMW 3 series Cabriolet, Peugeot 206 Cabriolet, Renault Megane Cabriolet, Audi A3 Convertible, Audi A4 Convertible and BMW Z4 Roadster.

At the booking time, please check the rental conditions carefully. Quite often, rental offices in Edinburgh require two credit cards to guarantee issuance of a cabrio or a roadster.

We recommend ordering additional no-excess insurance that covers your risk (franchise), since the franchise amount for cabriolets in Great Britain is quite high.

Make sure to inspect the rental invoice issued at the office in Edinburgh and compare it with the information indicated in your voucher. Sometimes, rental officers make 'unintentional' mistakes in rental invoices.

In parking garage, examine the vehicle for defects and scratches carefully. If you find any of them, check whether they have been specified in your rental document.

When parking a cabriolet in Edinburgh, it is recommended to unfold the roof and close windows in order to prevent theft or robbery.

OrangeSmile.com wishes you an exciting journey with an open roof around Great Britain!

It is simply useless to search for parking in the center of the city as there will be simply no free parking there. As a rule, there are always both paid and free parking lots near the center. Note that is it prohibited to leave a car for more than two hours on a free parking lot.
The road A537 is the real leader in terms of the number of road accidents. This road connects Buxton and Macclesfield. The road is distinguished by numerous steep turns.

Drivers will also need to pay in order to ride on some tunnels.

It is definitely worth visiting the Dean Cemetery. It not only has an incredibly quiet atmosphere but what is more interesting, some famous people of Scotland are buried here. Nearby is situated Dean Village, a place also famous for its pacifying and serene atmosphere. These are excellent places for conducting leisurely hiking, away from the bustling city. There is as well as the Dean Private Gardens, on whose territory is situated many interesting sights, among them; beautiful gazebos, bridges, ponds. Another cemetery – Greyfriars Kirkyard – has the world-famous monument to the dog Bobby as its main feature. It is a kind of monument of devotion and friendship.

Movie fans will be pleasantly surprised to learn that in the hometown of Sean Connery, they can discover places from favorite films and soap operas – for example, the hills around Edinburgh, Spoon Café Bistro, Potterrow Port, and Advocates Close – these are just a small part of the sites related to the saga about the wizard. Also, upon seeing Doune Castle (where only nearby the fierce battles for the independence of Scotland under the leadership of William Wallace were held), you can immediately recognize the outlines of Winterfell from the movie series “Game of Thrones”. Moving on, fans of the “Da Vinci Code” will be happy to visit Rosslyn Chapel, as some episodes were shot here. Midhope Castle is a place that is definitely worth visiting for fans of the series “Highlander”.
