Orkney car hire guide

Hiring a car is the ideal way to explore Orkney. Since the only two ways to reach Orkney are by ferry or plane, it makes sense that Orkney's car hire options are located close to those transit points.

In the centre of Kirkwall at Castle Street, a short walk from the ferry terminal, several car hire options can be found.

For those arriving by air, several car hire companies offer rentals at Kirkwall Airport, to the south-east of Kirkwall itself.
