Car Rental in Edinburgh

My sister and I are traveling to Edinburgh for 3 days and need to rent a car from the airport. Does anyone have any advice as to which rental company to use?

We always seem to get the best rates, including CDW, from carjet.co.uk, a clearinghouse for all sorts of agencies like autoeurope. Just make sure you double- and triple-check the CDW coverage, especially since more and more companies are increasing the deductible for CDW, and offering "Super CDW" to try to squeeze more money out of us. However, why would you need a car in Edinburgh? It's not a big city, and driving there (as I'm sure Kate will attest) is atrocious, with non-existent parking.

We were thinking we only needed a car to get to the wedding that will be at Borthwick Castle but I think we will just get a taxi. Any advice for getting to and from the airport and any B&B's this is our first trip.

Thank you for the advice.

There are bus connections to city center. Also, you can of course get a taxi. Check out www.visitscotland.com for more information.
