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. Everything else — 1,000 free miles, insurance for two drivers, RAC cover, gas, bedding and kitchen kit — is included in the weekly rate.
Why collect in Perth rather than at the airport
Airport-based national chains add location premiums and put you into Edinburgh's busiest traffic on your first hour of driving. Collecting in Perth means a shorter first day's drive to the Highlands, lower rates from £495 per week, and a family-run handover rather than a counter queue.
