What types of cars can I rent in Oban?

They're a snap to handle and park, fuel-efficient and an excellent idea if you're visiting big cities. An upgrade from economy, you can expect slightly more room and comfort while still getting a wonderful deal.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Oban?
You need to be 21 and over to hop behind the wheel of a rental car in Oban. Take note that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car classes, such as economy and compact. Higher age limits generally apply for specialty and premium vehicles. Most companies will also charge an additional fee for young renters. Check the rules before hitting the book button and factor any extra fees into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Oban?
Any rental company you choose will ask for these two things — a current driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you choose to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.
What side of the road do you drive on in Oban?
Cars drive on the left in Oban. This means that the driver's seat and other controls are also on the opposite side. Allow for a little extra time to familiarise yourself with the differences before driving off.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Oban?
You can. We partner with quality companies that offer long-term rentals for all categories of cars. Snap up one of our long-term car rental deals and explore every bit of Oban — or far beyond!
Where can I find an Oban car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Oban, it'd be wise to check the policies of the various car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be extra fees if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To escape any surprises on pickup, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
