First, ensure everyone is safe and call 999 for emergencies. Then, contact your rental company at ABZ Airport to report the incident.

What Should I Know About Refueling a Rental Car in the UK for the First Time?
First, confirm your rental car's fuel type—petrol (gasoline) or diesel—usually marked on the fuel cap. Understand the rental agency's fuel policy, such as 'full-to-full.' At the pump, green handles are for unleaded petrol and black for diesel. You'll typically pay inside the station after filling up. Keep your receipt as proof of refueling for the rental company.

Aberdeen Car Rental FAQ

Essential tips for American drivers renting cars in Aberdeen, Scotland

Can I use my US driver's license in Aberdeen, or do I need an International Driving Permit?
Yes, your US driver's license is valid for up to 12 months in the UK. However, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is strongly recommended—some rental companies require it, and it helps avoid issues if you're stopped by police. Get your IDP from AAA before you leave the US. Bring both your original license and the IDP when picking up your vehicle.
How hard is it to adjust to driving on the left side of the road?
It takes most American drivers 1-2 days to feel comfortable. The biggest challenges are roundabouts (yield to traffic from the right), turning at intersections, and narrow Scottish roads. Rent an automatic transmission to reduce stress. Aberdeen's city traffic is moderate, making it a good place to practice before heading into rural Scotland.
Will I be charged a 'young driver fee' if I'm under 25?
Yes, most rental companies charge a daily surcharge of £20-£35 (approximately $25-$45) for drivers aged 21-24. Some companies set the minimum age at 23 or 25. Drivers under 21 typically cannot rent at all. Budget an extra £140-£245 per week if you're 21-24 years old.
Are automatic transmission cars easy to find in Aberdeen?
Not as easy as in the US. About 70% of UK rental cars are manual transmission. Automatics cost 30-50% more and have limited availability—book at least 2-3 weeks in advance, especially during summer (June-August). If you can't drive stick, explicitly reserve an automatic and confirm it before your trip.
What should I know about driving in Aberdeen during winter (November-March)?
Winter conditions in Aberdeen include rain, fog, icy roads, and short daylight hours (sunset around 3:30 PM in December). Snow is possible but less common near the coast. Winter tires aren't mandatory but are recommended. Allow extra time, reduce speed on rural roads, and check weather forecasts before driving into the Highlands. Many mountain passes close during severe weather.
Do I need extra insurance coverage for Scottish roads?
Scottish roads, especially in rural areas, can be narrow with stone walls and sheep crossings. Consider adding Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and theft protection if your credit card doesn't cover overseas rentals. Windshield and tire coverage is worth it—road debris and narrow lanes cause frequent damage. US auto insurance typically doesn't cover international rentals, so check with your credit card company first.
