Hertz Car Rental in Aberdeen
Scotland’s third-biggest city is Aberdeen; found in the northwest of the country it’s become associated with the North Sea oil industry. If you pick up a rental car in Aberdeen you’ll easily be able to tour the sights of this compact city, and go on to explore the attractive beaches and countryside beyond. The city stands on the A90 trunk road, which links it to Dundee and Edinburgh to the south - the Scottish capital is about 130 miles’ drive away. Closer by, look out for the region’s many distilleries and ancient castles to which you can pay a visit.
If you have booked Aberdeen car rental you’ll be able to easily explore what some call ‘The Granite City’. Many of the buildings are built of this grey stone and some of the streets and pavements too. The stone has a sparkling quality and its effect on the city centre means it’s an attractive place to wander, where grand boulevards lead to formal squares. Look out for the neo-gothic Marischal College, it’s the world’s largest granite building. Aberdeen’s ‘Granite Mile’ – Union Street – is home to over 800 shops, restaurants and bars. The more intimate areas of the Old Town include a medieval chapel and 15th-century cathedral – it’s the world’s only granite one, of course.
