Car Hire and Vehicle Rental in Kirkwall, Orkney
We are new to the car hire and vehicle rental business but not new to the motor trade, having been in the business for more than 10 years. We pride ourselves in our high standards and customer satisfaction, and all cars are either new or under one year old. Our fleet of UK registered cars are mainly new VW Polos or Golfs and all have five doors. For larger parties we can supply People Carriers, 4 x 4s (subject to availability), or a 14 seat minibus, all of which available for self-drive (please telephone for price). All our cars come equipped with first aid kits and local maps. Tom-tom satellite navigation and child car seats or boosters are available on request. Free collection from airport and ferries is available by arrangement.
Whether you are visiting Orkney on a business trip or for pleasure, you can be guaranteed a warm welcome from A1 Car Hire, making it a perfect start to your stay in Orkney.
Our vehicle rental and car hire business is based in Kirkwall, which is the largest town of the Orkney Islands. Our town is the administrative centre with a long and interesting past. For example, our premises, the Hatston Industral Estate, is near a prehistoric ancient monument, Grain Earth House, a short low stone-walled passage deep underground leading to a small pillared chamber.
Throughout the UK, we are probably one of the most northerly vehicle rental businesses around.
