Excellent value for money with a good choice of vehicles and providers made available to me. The Thrifty representative who I dealt with at Edinburgh was very helpful and friendly. The only slight downfall was that I had a bit of a wait to be served as there was only one Thrifty representative on duty at the desk and he was dealing with a customer when I arrived. I wasn't in a hurry though, so i didn't mind.

lovely staff and great car

we recently hired a car through Green Motion from Edinburgh airport and the experience couldn't have been better. It was very good value, an immaculate and lovely car and charming, efficient service at collection and drop-off.

Low price - top service

We were met at the airport by a rep who was waiting with our hire car and we simply had to return it to the Long Stay car park at the end of the hire, dropping the key into the box in the airport building - Easy. The car was the make and model we had booked (ie no substitute), low mileage and no more than 6 months old. Price? Lowest that the price comparison site came up with but a large margin. Charges were all as per the website and confirmation emails.

Hassle free experience!

I hired the car from 121 carhire.com through internet booking, and collected the car at Edinburgh airport. The entire proces was very smooth, the car keys were given to me without the need to show too much details. The condition of the car (Volvo 7 seater) is as good as new. I would recommend 121 carhire to anybody. The only unpleasant experience was the full fuel return policy, it was partly a mistake on my own. I thought that I could filled up the fuel at the airport, only to discover that the fuel station at the airport is not opened to the public (it is only opened to the car hire companies)! As I returned the car with half tank empty, i was forced to pay a higher price of 2.34GBP/litre as a "penalty" for not returning the car with full tank... as a result, I paid about 90GBP for that half tank of fuel. Normal rate is about 1.34GBP/Litre. Perhaps the staff at the Carhire Centre could caution us about the fuel station at the airport beforehand, that it is not available for public use.

great value car hire

I booked the car rental online and found the website very clear and easy to understand. The prices were also very cheap compared with other sites! On arrival at the airport I was met by the car hire rep and all the paperwork was ready. Very quick and easy to process everything. There were no hidden extras and everything was clearly explained. The car was waiting and was very clean. Drop off at the end of the rental was very straight-forward and easy. Basically I couldn't find any fault with the whole process from choosing and booking online to collection and drop off. Very happy with the whole process.

worked out well

I ended up with a nice economical manual shift car at a good price. I found the insurance confusing as it is somewhat different than rentals in the States but bought the extra and had no issues. The website was relatively easy to use and gave me lots of choices.

Best Car Hire

Got upgraded to really great car with good price offer. Surprised to find car had sat nav, reversing camera and parking sensors together with cruise control. Diesel fuel just made the experience a joyful one. Service was excellent with friendly staff.

Very good service

We were dealt with quickly and respectfully both on pick up and return of the vehicle. Downside is the 30 min wait for the shuttle bus if you just miss one.

Very friendly staff. Picked up promptly from the airport and car hire only a couple of minutes from the airport. Website stated car fuel was 1/4 full and return 1/4 full. But this did not happen. I was told by easirent that I had to pay for 1/4 tank (they charged £20) and return empty. However the tank was not quite 1/4 full.

Lerwick is the capital of the Shetland Islands; a group of British islands in the North Sea. Lerwick is the main gateway to the Shetlands, with a number of connections to the Scottish mainland and the Orkney Islands. British Airways offers regular flights to Sumburgh Airport, 30 miles to the south of the capital.

British Airways currently flies here from three of Scotland's biggest cities; Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh. In addition there are flights from Kirkwall, on the Orkney Islands, as well as Wick, in the far north of Scotland. A cheaper way to get here could be by taking a one of the regular Northlink Ferries from Aberdeen.

There are several firms which offer cheap car rental in Lerwick Downtown. Conveniently, all of them offer a collection service from both the airport and the ferry terminal. Car rental in Lerwick Downtown can be a great way to explore the smaller Shetland Islands; many of them are served by vehicle ferries.

Given that Lerwick is the capital of the Shetlands, it's unsurprising that it has some of the best shopping facilities. The town has a good mix of independent retailers and larger shopping malls. In addition, there's also some decent nightlife. Bars and pubs range from traditional working men's taverns, to swankier hotel bars.

Visitors interested in history should drive to Scalloway, Shetland's ancient capital. Scalloway is just six miles away with car rental in Lerwick Downtown. In addition, it's also worth taking the ferry to the Noss nature reserve. Some of the wildlife, such as whales, otters and puffins, is simply breathtaking.

Is Car-Rentals.com the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

Our rates are all-inclusive. Our reservation department will inform you in advance should additional costs apply. You can always cancel your booking free of charge if you do not agree (this must be done at least 48 hours prior to the start of the car hire period).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

When will I get a confirmation of my booking?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).
