However, most websites start by saying that cars can be hired from £15 a day, which a big myth. £50 is closer to the truth. This is quite acceptable to me, so perhaps the websites can happily be more truthful! The staff at the National counter were very efficient, yet thorough.

Edinburgh Airport is relatively easy to locate. The staff had a bit of an accent, but it didn't affect communication. The only issue is that inspecting the car at night can be challenging.
