Is it worthwhile to book a rental car in Scotland United Kingdom?
Scotland is famous for its wild and scenic countryside, and while the train and bus networks are very good, they stick to pre-defined routes and times.

If you want to travel between the main cities you’ll always be able to find plenty of trains, but once again you’ll face the challenge of being bound to public transport schedules once you’ve arrived. It’s a lot more efficient to use the highways, which will also give you so much more time to explore – except in congested city traffic, car hire in Scotland United Kingdom will usually be the fastest way of travelling and cheap car rental is easy to come by.
