Absolutely, yes. But only if you enjoy controlled chaos. Renting from Alamo at Waverley is like riding a unicycle through a museum—a little silly, very memorable, and totally worth the story. You get the freedom of a car with the romance of arriving by train. Plus, you can pretend you’re James Bond for a solid minute before you stall at a roundabout.
Word to the wise: book ahead. Like, way ahead. The deskmates at Waverley run out of cars faster than a pub runs out of Irn-Bru on a Saturday. And always, always take the full insurance. Because even if you are the greatest driver in the world, Edinburgh has one-way streets that loop back to 1745. You’ll thank me later.
So grab your keys, point your rental toward the Highlands, and remember: the Alamo desk is just the beginning of your beautiful, ridiculous Scottish road trip. Drive safe. Honk if you see a Nessie statue. And for heaven’s sake, learn what a “roundabout” is before you hit the M8.
