The Arnold Clark car rental company is undoubtedly the reference in terms of car rental as much for its quality of service as for its seriousness. We are well received, everything is clear and without bad surprises. Although it seems more expensive at first glance, it has the advantage of avoiding, at the time of taking the car, unpleasant surprises (exorbitant deposit, non-compliant credit card ...). Even if it is much more pleasant to discover the splendid Scottish landscapes by train, Le Petit Futé recommends this very serious car rental company.
