Hiring a car at Edinburgh City Centre

With a population of just under half a million inhabitants and the seat of the Scottish Parliament, Edinburgh is a large and important city which is visited by around 4 million people in the course of a year. Well-known as the cultural capital of Scotland, the city centre hosts an annual performance arts festival, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, which has a worldwide pedigree. The city is also home to several famous tourist sites, including Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Park and the Old Town which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Easy to reach from the English border via the A1 or A68, many visitors also arrive from the city of Glasgow in the west via the M8 motorway or from the north via the M90. Enterprise Rent-A-Car operate from central locations in the city which are within walking distance from Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh Waverley Railway Station and Easter Road, the home of Hibernian Football Club. With so many thriving businesses, historic monuments and entertainment centres in the city centre, there are many reasons to visit whether they are for business or pleasure.
