This isn’t your average rental counter tucked away in a distant industrial estate. Sixt’s Waverley branch sits right in the heart of the action, steps from the station’s main concourse. Think of it as your fast-pass to freedom, without the wait. You can literally roll your suitcase from the train, pick up a sleek German machine, and be on Leith Walk in under five minutes.
Forget the frantic taxi queues or the crowded bus routes. Having a Sixt car here means you get to set your own rhythm. Want to chase the sunrise over Arthur’s Seat before the crowds? Done. Fancy a spontaneous detour to the shores of Loch Lomond? Your car is already waiting.
The Fleet: More Than Just a Ride
Sixt has curated a fleet that feels less like a rental lot and more like a premium showroom. You’ll find BMWs, Mercedes, and Audis gleaming under the station’s lights, but also practical hybrids for the eco-conscious traveler. The real secret? Their convertibles. A top-down cruise along the Forth Road Bridge with the Scottish wind in your hair is a memory no guidebook can sell you.
Fun fact: Sixt is one of the few companies that consistently stocks vehicles with all-wheel drive as standard in its premium categories. On a drizzly Edinburgh afternoon—which happens roughly 50% of the time—that grip is your secret handshake with the tarmac.
