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.

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.
