Where can I hire a campervan near Edinburgh Airport?

Edinburgh Airport to Perth by bus
Airport coach services connect to Edinburgh city centre and Ferrytoll, with onward bus links to Perth. Allow around two hours door to door and check timetables for late arrivals.
Edinburgh Airport to Perth by train
Take the tram or bus to Haymarket, then a direct train to Perth. Journey time is usually around 1 hour 20 minutes from Haymarket.
Edinburgh Airport to Perth by car or taxi
A private transfer or hire car follows the M90 north over the Queensferry Crossing and takes about an hour in normal traffic.
Straight onto the road north
From Perth the A9 reaches Pitlochry in 35 minutes, Inverness and the NC500 start in around two hours, and St Andrews or the Fife coast in under an hour.
Plan arrival day properly
Land in the morning or early afternoon where possible so there is daylight for the handover and your first drive. If your flight arrives late, book a night near the airport or in Perth and collect the following morning rather than driving unfamiliar roads tired.
Bring your driving licence, and for non-UK licence holders any additional documentation your licence requires. Ask your hire company to confirm mileage, insurance, breakdown cover and kit before you book, as these vary between companies.
Why start your trip north of the city
Airport pickups often carry location premiums and put you into Edinburgh's busiest traffic on your first hour of driving. A pickup north of the city, such as around Perth, means a shorter first drive to the Highlands.
