- Elgin is a fantastic place to visit for anyone who is big on history and appreciates some of the finer whiskeys in life. The region of Elgin in Scotland is a must-see area and will be made a lot better with access to a car. Luckily, there are several car hire options for anyone visiting Elgin. It’s also a great stop-off point for anyone wanting to explore some of the peripheral beauty this area of Scotland has to offer. Elgin boasts of places such as Glen Moray Distillery, Elgin Cathedral and Cove Bay. All of these are highly accessible by car, meaning your trip will be made so much easier if you look at car hire in Elgin for your journey to the Scottish coastline.
- If you’re planning on getting a hire car from the airport close to Elgin, you’d aim for Inverness Airport (INV). With a relatively small building, hiring a car from Inverness does not require you to take a bus or shuttle to the car hire vicinities. You can reach several car hire offices just by walking to them from the terminal. Inverness Airport is just under 30 miles away from Elgin city centre, making it the ideal location to pick up a hire vehicle for Elgin car hire.
