From the US. Reservation was all completed through email, was able to pay online or when I got to Milton Keynes. I was referred to them through the visiting the UK Facebook group, everybody's recommendation was excellent, some said a little pricey, but the customer service, peace of mind and everything that went along with it made it all that more worthwhile. We rented a car, 9 days, picked up a Milton Keynes England, dropped off at Heathrow airport. Took the train from London, Steve. Our reservation guy even provided us with emailed instructions on how to get to the pickup, drop off locations and our hotel all by train until we picked up our car a few days after arrival. We out there for the full insurance even though our Visa card covers insurance, was not that expensive and worthwhile for the peace of mind. We had no mechanical issues, brand new Kia with about 15,000 mi on it. Was allotted 250 mi a day, we drove north all through Scotland, England, Wales and back to Heathrow with no issues. Definitely recommend this company if you want. Peace of mind and if you're all about customer service, which is extremely important when you're visiting a foreign country from your own. The guy who dropped us off at the airport from Heathrow was awesome as was Steve, our original guy we booked with. We opted for the dash cam and found that it did not have one when we went to drop the car off because we wanted the SD card which you are able to buy. When picking up the guy said there was one in there, pointing to the dashboard, not being familiar with their system. System I took his word for it. We truly wanted the dash cam so we can have a view of our last few hours of driving to take home with us. Other than that, absolutely perfect rental for us. read more

We had an excellent experience with Celtic Legend. The service is absolutely incredible. They respond so quickly by email and are very polite. Unfortunately we had to return the car a bit later than expected and were charged an extra full day's fee, but since this was a last minute change on our end, I understand. It cost about $72 USD per day, which I thought was a great value. Checking in and out was relatively easy through Arnold Clarke, their contractor. I didn't like that no one welcomed us when we came in, leaving us to stand awkwardly until they decided to pay us attention. Drop off was easy and they shuttled us to the airport. Forgot to take a picture of the car but we did love taking it up to the Highlands. read more

Celtic Legend made renting a car in Edinburgh really simple. Booking was smooth, and they recommended the Tripiamo driving guide, which was very helpful for my first time driving in the U.K. They work with Arnold Clark, and when our original car wasn't big enough, Olu in customer service quickly found us a better fit for our luggage. Pick-up was easy, drop-off was even easier. I'd definitely use them again on my next trip to Scotland. read more

Originally reserved a car from Enterprise at the Edinburgh Airport as Enterprise is our go to in the U.S. - the day before our rental pick up I was reading the reviews on Yelp about Enterprise and the reviews were horrific. Already nervous about driving here on the opposite side of the road to the Highlands and back, we read the reviews for Celtic Legend and mad the switch. Best decision! My reservation request was immediately responded to online and the whole process of pick up and return with Arnold Clark was wonderful. Friendly and helpful staff and the price includes the insurance and roadside assistance and ended up being about $125.00 cheaper than Enterprise. Highly recommend you rent through Celtic Legend! read more

Car itself was nice. Rental checkout great. However, I turned in the car after hours. They took advantage of the opportunity and gave me a scam charge of a damaged tire. read more

I found their pricing better than the American companies I am used to and checked out. Edinburgh pickup and drop-off could have been easier, but that was mainly because I was unfamiliar with the airport and town. We got what felt like a brand-new vehicle, though, so we were very happy once we got on the road. I will rent from them again on our next trip. read more

Everything! Great company! Very happy with our experience! Great and timely communication! Will use them again!

So glad I chose Celtic Legend for my car rental in Edinburgh! I would absolutely be a repeat customer whenever I can visit the UK again. Professional, Responsive, Helpful, All Yes. The rentals with many oprions are a good value; exceptionally so when factoring in the outstanding customer service. This was my first time renting a car abroad and I had many questions about Terms and coverage, hybrid options and more. Steve Wallace was my contact for reservations and he graciously and thoroughly addressed all my questions and was truly a delight to work with. I checked out Celtic Legend based on reviews after having made another reservation online. With my first query and response fr om Steve, I wanted to give my business to CL (not a mote of pressure to commit btw) based on the quality of his assistance. The vehicle was perfect, pickup & dropoff was quick and easy having preregistered all my info online, and the staff at Arnold Clark where the vehicles come from reviewed everything essential for me and made good recommendations, including where the better price was for refilling fuel. Five stars unreservedly start to finish. Check them out. read more

Celtic Legend - We had an SUV but I got this shot to plug Celtic Legend!! (and Arnold Clark!) - Car Rental Near Me

We heard about Celtic Legend through a FB travel group. I emailed them for a quote for two days and with an additional driver. They were very responsive. A few days before we left, I asked if we could extend a day. Not only were they able to accommodate, but the price was better! I cannot express how easy they made the process. They have a shuttle that will get you from your hotel and take you to the rental place. I was helped by a gentleman named George, who quickly got us on our way. I do appreciate that he took a moment to show us the controls of the car. The car was clean and ready to go. Turn-in was just as easy. We didn't end up using the extra insurance or the additional driver, but I'm very glad we had them; definitely worth the few extra pounds. The only negative of the experience wasn't even on them. When we were in Glasgow, we used my phone's GPS (which had been fine the whole trip) to calculate how long it'd take to drive back to the rental place so we could have lunch prior. Once we started driving, the time increased substantially so we were almost late. All that to say, make sure you at least double what your GPS says! We would definitely rent a car through this company again. read more

Celtic Legend was great. Our car was modern, we were able to navigate using Apple CarPlay, & had no issues. The pick-up/drop-off was very smooth & efficient. Would absolutely rent through them again. read more

Booked a car through Celtic Legend at LHR. Supplier was Arnold Clark. "Personal" service from quote to booking from Celtic Legend - quick response to any question or concern. We will definitely book through them again. Shout out to Maxine and Philip at Arnold Clark - pick up took a while but they both made it a very easy experience. Nice offices and plenty of space for clients - not a rushed 'bun fight' like the usual car rental desks. read more

This was hands down the easiest rental experience I've ever had. It felt like working with my own person travel agent. They set everything up, answered any and all of my questions, followed up with reminders, and just hands down, a great experience. They even had a ride prearranged for us when we were dropping off our car, which made everything so smooth. We did a different city drop off and we saved so much money going through them. All the other rental sites I looked at had at least $100+ more expensive estimates. They also gave us an estimate up front and it was 100% the same when we got to paying. 10/10 will rent with them again when in the UK. read more

Very easy to arrange the Arnold Clark car rental through Celtic Legend. Liam was great to work with via messaging/email answering all my questions thoroughly. There were no issues picking the car up with Arnold Clark, however returning the car back to Arnold Clark was confusing as they could not tell if the car was already paid for or not. They tried contacting Celtic Legend, but their offices were closed. I assured Arnold Clark that I did not believe it was pre-paid and they were happy to charge my credit card at that time. read more

Great first time experience with this Scottish based company acting as an agent for Arnold Clark, after many years of using the international big guys. Pricing was very competitive with extras like extra drivers, GPS, included. Advanced online reservation process was detailed, efficient and provided very detailed instructions for pickup on arrival.Multiple locations, but I picked up at EDI, which required a simple call on arrival and pick up by shuttle in a few minutes to their offsite location 5 minutes way. Staff were very helpful and efficient on pickup and drop off. I strongly recommend the full coverage insurance (waiver), especially if you are not used to driving on the left. My vehicle was an automatic hybrid, and the relatively minimal extra cost for automatic is well worth it, especially if you plan to travel smaller roads. This is now my go to car rental provider in the UK. read more

Excellent service - getting the car in Edinburgh was by far the easiest car rental experience I have ever had. There was no standing in line. I was immediately greeted by a service representative and then seated while she efficiently completed the paperwork. The rate was attractive (better than any alternative I could find) and when I was given the keys, I learned that I had gotten an upgrade at no additional cost. Returning the car was equally easy and efficient. There were no surprise fees or costs - everything was exactly as promised. I will definitely use Celtic Legend again the next time I rent a car in Scotland. 100% recommend! read more

Booked a SUV rental before arriving in country. Reservation was made via email with Liam, who not only provided all necessary pricing, but helpful suggestions on where best to pick-up and drop off car based on where we planned to be while in Scotland. The prices were comparable to renting online from many of the local companies. The staff at Arnold Clark were fantastic, the car was almost brand new and flawless. Overall experience was superb! Highly recommended read more

The process was super smooth start to finish. We we're visiting Scotland from the US and they made it easy...excellent communication, superior customer service! read more

Great people, great car, great experience. Showed us every aspect necessary of our vehicle before we drove off and supported us well along the way. Six stars actually... read more

Excellent rental rate and customer service. We picked up in Glasgow and dropped in Edinburgh. We researched a lot of rental companies and this one came out on top. Highly recommend and we will use on our next trip to Scotland. read more

Renting online from Celtic Legend was a great experience. We rented a car for a week in July in Edinburgh and drove through the Highlands and over to Aberdeen. The experience with the Arnold Clark branch in Sighthill, Edinburgh was good, other than the long processing time due to customer lineups (30 minutes to an hour to pickup or return a car is not acceptable!). The car we rented (Vauxhall Grand-land automatic) was a pleasure to drive; only complaint would be the lack of cup holders for your coffee.... Scotland was amazing- great scenery and friendly people! Driving on some of the "single track" roads was an interesting experience - took a while to get used to the "Passing Place" arrangements. read more

We rented from Celtic Legend for a recent golf trip. Eight of us rented 2 vans for 10 days driving around Scotland and it worked out seemlessly. Booking online was simple and straightforward. The vans they offer for golf trips are perfect for 4 people, clubs and luggage. With GPS included, it made getting around simple. We will most definitely be renting with Celtic Legend again when we return. read more

Celtic Legend Ltd car rental in Scotland were great. Very competitive prices, offered free sat nav(totally needed). Our car was very new and the association cam outside with us to explain the cars features. Convenient location for pickup and drop off. Would strongly recommend!! read more

This car rental firm is very organized and pretty fast to get you in and off driving. I had chosen it because it is a Scottish company and I figured any issues would be easier to deal with. Also my quote for rentals was all inclusive and not adding things bit by bit like some companies. The pickup was easy and the staff at EDI location was super knowledgeable. I would happily rent from Celtic Legend again. read more

We rented a car during a two week trip in Scotland. Reserving was super easy and liam was so patient with me since I changed my reservation dates and car size a few times, including drop off location. He didn't leave out any details and the whole process from reservation to drop off was so easy. Our complete experience with them was pleasant and organized. I highly recommend and would definitely use them again read more

The people at Celtic legend couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating during our stay in Scotland! We were traveling from the US with a relatively large group and we were a little nervous about driving on the opposite side of the road in a different country, but the team at Celtic legend ensured that we would have a manual vehicle that would accommodate our group comfortably and they were true to their word! We had heard a few horror stories involving other car rental establishments, but we didn't have any issues with our reserved vehicle and were very impressed with the service provided by Celtic Legend! I would not hesitate to recommend them for your stay in Scotland!! read more

The car was nice to drive.Could you tell me the car brand.There were a lot of things I did not understand ,but it was a good transaction.It was good on the roads in Scotland. Thanks read more

Love these guys! We've been renting cars from Celtic Legend since 2016, and wouldn't think of doing business with anyone else. Always helpful, professional, and good fun! And the prices can't be beat. I've never used their tour services, but have recommended them to others, as I'm sure they do a fabulous job with that as well. We look forward to many more experiences with them in the years to come. read more

Wonderful experience with Arnold Clarke. Check in was like meeting with old friends. Help when I got a puncture in the middle of a Highland Glen was brilliant. Rapid refund for out of pocket expenses was much appreciated. Would reuse this service whenever in UK read more

We rented from Celtic Legend's sighthill location. The pick up went smoothly, and we were on our way! We opted to get the package where it wouldn't cost us anything for damage. This came in handy as someone hit our rental in a parking lot. Dropping off the car was a bit hectic, as we weren't exactly sure where to park, and were flustered from the city driving. Once we parked, all went well. I highly recommend Celtic Legend to anyone renting in Scotland. read more

No hassle! No hidden fees! Celtic Legend made our dream trip to beautiful Scotland seamless. The customer service was superb. I highly recommend Celtic Legan's. read more

They were helpful from the start of the process to when I picked it up. I had an accident in stirling and they were so considerate and helpful then as well. I would highly recommend them read more

Provided the best quote amongst all the ones I requested and lived up to the expectations. Excellent response time and they provide help with anything you needed. Made the International travel rental effortless and hassle free. read more

Absolutely 5 stars for friendly staff, clean and well maintained cars, and competitive pricing. We highly recommend Celtic Legend.

My wife and I rented a car through Celtic Legend on a recent trip to Scotland. The car rentals with Celtic Legend are through Arnold Clark, though the initial coordination and booking is with Celtic Legend. They seemed to be the most affordable and had good reviews, so we went with them. I had a number of questions early on and the team at Celtic Legend was quick and helpful in their responses. Our experience with the actual rental was equally positive. The teams at Arnold Clark in Glasgow and Edinburgh were pleasant and clear. Unlike what I've experienced with many US companies, when they offered add-ons, they were honest, transparent, and not pushy. Also, though we only asked for (and paid for) a standard sedan, they ended up giving us a brand new BMW to drive! read more

We had a very positive experience renting a vehicle from Celtic Legend. We picked up our vehicle in Edinburgh and returned it near the Glasgow airport. Outstanding customer service. We would highly recommend contacting Celtic Legend if you need a rental vehicle. read more

We rented a car for 10 days on a recent vacation to the highlands of Scotland. Picking up the car in Inverness was so easy, and the staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We did have a flat tire, while on the Isle of Lewis and Harris, and we had purchased full coverage. They were efficient in their help And resolved our problem within two hours. Cannot say enough good things about this local company. Dropped off the car in Inverness and another seamless transaction. I would highly recommend this company for those looking to rent a vehicle while in Scotland. read more

CELTIC/ARNOLD CLARK UPDATE:: DO NOT Rent from these companies. Waiting in airport for our flight home from a whirl wind visit 5 B&B's all around beautiful Scotland. I rented a van from Celtic to be picked up at Arnold Clark rentals in Edinburgh. 1. Lengthy instructions stated to find a phone by Domestic Arrivals Gate, call them upon arrival and not to get on the bus until you've reached them - after wasting an hour trying to find the phone we left for the rental. They kept disconnecting us when trying to call direct. Really annoying after a red eye flight. 2. Rental stated...Oh yeh that phone is no longer there!!! And Oh yeh we have phone problems. 3. Over 1 hour to check in and get the van (which was highest cost) for the 6 of us. Empty office. NOW THE GOOD PART..... My farm vehicles are in MUCH better condition!!!!! -This van's wiper blades were expired. Rains a lot in Scotland. - No AC and back windows did not open- it was 85 in Edinburgh -Passenger window was broken would not go up or down. -Breaks were very scary -Shocks were blown -Bolts from under carriage were flying off We called north of Inverness to see if someone could bring us a working van, as we had reservations, tickets and appointments to many things we planned ahead of time....they said No, but we could back track over an hour into the city and they would see what they could do.... - We made it around to almost Glasgow when more bolts flew off and the undercarriage started dropping on a busy M80. -Again we called- they said WE could call a tow truck!! 28 miles away from any open AC rental- -We used duck tape and hiking shoe strings to limp the van in WAIT...GETS better!! We picked up our 2nd POS van in Glasgow. About 2 miles out we started getting dinging alarms that doors were open when they were shut. About another 2 miles we get Oil overfill alarms. These companies are renting vehicles that have come straight out of the salvage yard!! Unacceptable, Unsafe, UN accommodating. Really put a damper on this Scotland vaca. Seats in vans did not recline at all sitting straight up almost slight lean forward all the way around the country Plenty of rentals at the airport- our suggestion is to use those read more

We had a terrific car experience, renting from Celtic legend. We were upgraded to a new Volvo XC60 which coincidentally is the car we drive at home and so it made our travels that much easier. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we returned the car with the gas tank almost empty. In the United States, this would've cost an arm and a leg. Instead, they added on a relatively modest surcharge. The entire process from pick up to drop off was incredibly easy and smooth. I would recommend this car rental company and plan to rent from them again when we visit Scotland again next year. read more

Celtic Legend provided an excellent rental experience, and also provided good advice ahead of time. We had many questions, and Steve answered every one of them patiently and expertly. The cars were in great shape and the ease of the whole process started and ended our vacation on a high note. I strongly recommend using them for renting in Scotland! read more

Fantastic experience from start to finish! Working with Steve to determine what car, drop off/pick up locations, insurance, everything was so easy. Never felt he was trying to upsell me, just like a helpful knowledgable friend who wanted to find me the best price and meet all my needs. Pick up was easy, not at all like getting a rental car in the US! Fast, calm, very simple. Everyone was very friendly, knowledgable and helpful. A few minor things: could not figure out how to call them from the train station for pick up as the format of the number in the email was not what I needed to use from my phone; it was uncharacteristically hot the week we were there and the AC was useless (I did send a note and was offered to exchange for a new car but we were already on our way at that point so dealt with it) and when the agent demonstrated how easy it was to open the gas tank cover she didn't point out that it only opens with the key removed which led to some panic at the gas pump until we discovered it by accident. Also, the navigation system could not locate many points of interest (tourist spots, not off the beaten path places) and did not take addresses in the format listed on everything. It also couldn't find Arnold Clark for the drop off LOL. Google maps was our friend. We had a Hyundai Santa Fe and drove from Stirling to Ullapool, all over Isle of Lewis then back down to Edinburgh. Easy to drive and pleny of room for 3 adults and all our stuff. Drop off was again fast and easy. The trains were not running that day so they called a taxi for us that arrived in less than 10 minutes. I highly highly recommend Celtic Legend/Arnold Clark! read more
