The SIXT Edinburgh Airport car hire branch provides affordable transportation, so you can get around the Scottish capital with ease. Economic hatchbacks are perfect for getting around the city class while our more luxury saloons and estate cars offer that added comfort and style. If you are travelling with the family, one of our 4x4s, people carriers or vans will provide room for the luggage on your trip from the airport. Add child seats to your booking if you're travelling with children and a sat nav so you don't get lost. It's also easy to add an additional driver to share the driving responsibilities in Edinburgh.
To locate our Edinburgh Airport car hire branch, follow the exit signs to the terminal Surface Car Park once you retrieve your luggage. You’ll see a covered passageway offering directions to the Car Hire Centre and Long-Stay parking garage. Continue to the end of the passageway and you’ll recognise our sign which marks our office. We offer an out-of-hours return service to save you time. A convenient location near the car hire centre means all you have to do is park your vehicle in the SIXT space provided and leave your keys in the deposit box outside the office.
The jewel in the Scottish crown, Edinburgh is a city bursting with culture and a mecca for business and educational opportunities. Straddling the divide between the antiquated and the modern, the city features a vibrant diversity for all to discover. Among Edinburgh’s top attractions is its most iconic landmark: Edinburgh Castle which dominates the promontory overlooking the city. Another favourite is the Palace of Holyrood house which is an official royal residence. Hop in your SIXT car and make the 47-mile trip along the M8 to nearby Glasgow.
