Rental Car

Hey everyone!

I’m planning on visiting Skye later this fall, taking the bus from Inverness to Portree and hopefully renting a car on the island before taking the same bus back. Any tips or advice on where/who to rent from?

Thanks in advance!

I would recomment hiring directly from Inverness / Inverness Airport (did it in June). It's an easy ride to Portree. And unlimited kilometers is prices ok. Note: Isle of Skye are more charging stations that gas station, so consider an EV :)

Plus you'd have a bit more comfort carrying your luggage

Didnt think about the EV side of it, thanks!

EV's are definitely a no-go on Skye. Stick with petrol.

I will have to disagree here :). In june, chargers were easier to find than gas-station. Might be different in high-season though.
