New for 2026!
We cannot stress how important it is to have a working phone on your travels so you can make voice calls in case you need roadside, breakdown or accident assistance. If your phone will not work overseas we recommend you purchase either the Vodafone Travel eSIM or the O2 Travel eSIM which offer calls through the UK as well as data. New for 2026 we offer a 7.5% discount on these eSIM deals by clicking on the following link and using discount code ​CM4581-AF https://www.esim.net

Celtic Legend offers the most competitive rates for car rental in Scotland and England.

With 20 branches across Scotland and another 16 in England, our supplier, Arnold Clark, is the largest independent rental car company in Europe and the only car rental company in Scotland offering unlimited mileage on all rentals.

We are a Scottish owned family business.  All rental enquiries are responded to personally rather than via an automated form.

We can supply highly experienced driver guides, if you would prefer not to drive yourself.

Unbeatable Prices

We know the price and the package we offer for car hire is pretty well unbeatable, but should you wish to shop around other car hire companies before you book with Celtic Legend, please don’t forget to add in all the charges which come as extras when you rent a car from other suppliers. It would also be a good idea to bookmark our site, so you can find us again to make your hire car booking. We offer not only a quality car rental, but a truly cheap car rental.

Remember, if another rental company’s quote SOUNDS too good to be true, it probably IS too good to be true!
