South Scotland car hire guide

Hiring a car is the best way to see the picturesque Scottish Borders, with their rolling hills and twisty country roads.

Galashiels, in the heart of Border country, is perfectly-placed for exploring the abbeys and castles which pepper the landscape along the border.

For those visiting the south-west of Scotland, Dumfries is ideally-located not far from the border and the M74 motorway, and is the gateway to the picturesque region of Dumfries and Galloway.

There is also car hire available at Stranraer, where there is a ferry link to Belfast and Ireland beyond.
