Car Rental at Wick Airport (WIC)

Wick Airport (WIC) is the gateway to wild northeastern Scotland and offers car rentals from three providers directly in the terminal. The airport is just 3 km from Wick city center and serves as the starting point for adventures along the North Coast 500 route. With a rental car, you can reach John o' Groats in 30 minutes and Inverness in approximately 2.5 hours to the south.

Wick is a charming fishing town with the Wick Heritage Museum and the impressive ruins of Castle Sinclair Girnigoe just 5 km north of town. The Caithness region is known for its dramatic cliff landscapes, fertile farmland, and ancient stone monuments such as Camster Cairns, 25 km south of the airport. Book your rental car in advance – inventory at Wick Airport is limited and vehicles sell out quickly during the tourist season of June–August.

Take the North Coast 500 westward toward Thurso and Tongue for one of Scotland's most spectacular driving experiences. Choose a vehicle with adequate ground clearance if you plan to drive on narrow rural roads in the Caithness area. Which car rental companies are at Wick Airport?
