Optional Extras
Below are a host of optional extras that we feel can enhance your hire experience from California Scotland.
If you wish to hire any of the optional extras please inform us as soon as possible after booking to ensure they are available, and ready and waiting for your departure.
COLLECT & RETURN
We can collect you from your hotel in Edinburgh or from its airport, train and bus stations. We can then meet you where ever you need when you return the California. This is your cheapest transfer option as taxis are expensive, and allows you to begin and end your journey in a relaxed way. We only conduct Handovers and Returns between 10.00 and 18.00 hours.
If arriving by car, you can leave your vehicle safely with us.
