Inverness is the centrepiece of a beautiful part of northern Scotland featuring an abundance of picturesque villages and ancient castles nestling amongst vast swathes of fertile farmland. Inverness Castle is the first stop on most tourists' sightseeing agenda, followed by a couple of hours at the nearby Inverness Museum and Art Gallery. There's also the old Victorian Market to explore, an indoor shopping arcade that's been serving the local community since 1890. Those with time on their hands and an interest in Scottish military history can visit Culloden, the site of Scotland's last great battle in 1746. You can get the most out of your car hire in Inverness with an exhilarating drive along the coast to the pretty seaside town of Dornoch, noted for its ancient castle and cathedral, before playing a round of golf on one of the region's championship courses. Inverness is also the natural base from which to explore the Scottish Highlands, a glorious mountain region in the north of the country that's home to Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the British Isles. This is motoring country at its very best and the most fitting way to end a road-trip around the Highlands is a tour and wee dram at one of the many whisky distilleries located in the Inverness area, including Cardhu, Glenmorangie and Glen Moray.
With an Auto Europe car rental in Inverness, you are free to fully discover this delightful part of the British countryside, where some of the world's most unique attractions are to be found, such as the famous lake in which the legendary Loch Ness Monster is said to reside.

On picking up the car we were first offered a larger automatic when we had asked for a manual suitable for driving on narrow rounds/ferrys. When we queried this we were offered a car which did meet out spec. 2. The car was a 2019 model - nice to have a new vehicle but it had a few unfamiliar features of which the electronic handbrake was the most surprising. A quick familiarization check on acceptance would be appreciated. 3. A road atlas in the car would have been appreciated. "
