Our vehicles are sourced from Scotland’s largest independent car rental fleet of more than 9,000 vehicles. The fleet is normally renewed every 3 to 6 months and we can supply virtually any type of vehicle.

Payments & Pickup
Payment is NOT normally required in advance and can only be made when you pick up your car by credit or some debit cards.
No car rental company in Scotland will accept a cash payment.
You will need your driving licence and address ID (utility bill etc. for UK customers) and passport or National ID card for overseas clients.

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!
