# Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh

URL: https://performanceandprestige.co.uk/car-hire/edinburgh

Performance & Prestige has no depot, branch or rental counter in Edinburgh and holds no premises there. Every hire is delivered to an address you choose and collected from it afterwards.

Edinburgh hires are usually attached to something specific: a wedding at a country house, a week during the festival, a Highlands run that starts on the Queensferry Crossing. We deliver into the New Town, Morningside, Cramond and Barnton, to hotel forecourts in the centre, and out towards Gullane and North Berwick, then collect from this city or another one. Setts, gradients and controlled parking make the street matter here as much as the postcode does. We have no premises in Edinburgh, so there is no desk to find and nothing to hand back through a hatch at the end.

Typical delivery: Two local facts govern this. The first is the road surface: much of the New Town and the Old Town is laid in stone setts, and the street we choose has to suit a low car as well as allow a legal stop. The second is controlled parking, which covers most of the centre and dictates where a car may wait and when. In August, closures rewrite both of those. You will have the window from a person, agreed with you, ahead of any commitment.

New Town setts are harder on a low front splitter than they look, and several streets are more steeply crowned at the kerb than a photograph suggests, so a car coming off a ramp at an angle can ground on the way down. We choose the handover street with that in mind and will propose one street over if yours is a problem. Where a mews lane is involved we check the width and the turning space at the far end first, because a blind-ended mews with a delivery van behind you is not where anyone wants to reverse a wide car in a hurry.
