The speed limit in the city

The speed limit in Edinburgh is the same as in the whole of the UK, but we need to remember the warning signs.

Kind of transport	Speed km / h
A car	48
The car with a trailer and a motorcycle	48
Caravan (up to 3.05 m)	48
Caravan (over 3.05 m)	48

If there is no restrictive signs - the maximum speed of the vehicle must not exceed 48 km / h or 30 miles / h.

Parking rental car

Edinburgh has two parking zones:

Central. Paid parking from Monday to Saturday from 8.30 to 18 hours.
Peripheral. Payment is accepted from Monday to Friday from 8.30 to 17.30, in certain areas and on Saturdays from 8.00 to 13.30.

For parking will have to pay from 1 to 3.2 pounds per hour. To do this you need to buy parking tickets.

Besides the city, there is a private parking. Also, there are 7 parking lots located on the outskirts of Edinburgh, where you can leave your car for free rented. This does not apply to parking Newcraighall, which will have to pay 0.5 pounds per day.

Along the edge of the road is depicted by a red and yellow lines, which show drivers where to stay and where not.

A red line means that parking has a time limit.
Two red lines are completely prohibit parking.
One yellow line permits to park in the permitted time. You can stop to drop off passengers, but the driver in this case must remain in the car.
Two yellow lines completely prohibit parking.

Allowable alcohol

Permitted blood alcohol content less than 0.8 ppm.

If the police suspect that the driver of the vehicle drunk, it has the right to force to pass the test. If this is the first arrest for driving while intoxicated, the penalty of up to £ 5,000 or imprisonment for six months and deprivation of rights for one year. The same punishment threatened for refusing the breath test.

If you exceed the maximum dose of drinking and driving was the cause of death by negligence, they could be imprisoned for 14 years, to impose an unlimited fine and to deprive a driver's license for 2 years.

Penalties for violation of traffic rules

In Edinburgh, as elsewhere in the UK operates a system of fines for traffic violations. Police are allowed to take the place of deposit for up to 300 pounds. This amount is a guarantee of the potential fine, which would oblige the court to pay.

Violation	The fine Pounds
No insurance	Up to 2,500
He fled the scene of the accident	Up to 5,000
Careless driving	Up to 5,000
Over speed	100-1000

The cost of fuel

Leaded gasoline in Edinburgh is not only unleaded. 97-octane gasoline is small, so the prices will fluctuate greatly.

If you have a desire to ride on the ferry, it is not necessary to bring gasoline canister because it is strictly prohibited.

Petrol can be bought at the price of a liter of LPG from 0.82 to 1.22 for the Super unleaded.

During my business trips to other countries I travel a lot. Car rental has become an excellent solution for me. Since it is not always possible to rent a car quickly at the place of destination, I rent a car online. I\'ve tested many sites. Most of all I like bookingcar. The site always works good. There is a lot of options from a wide variety of providers. It\'s everything I need.

On the advice of my good friends we went on a road trip around Austria. We got great impressions and an opportunity to see a lot of interesting things. We rented the car at home via bookingcar. Due to this search engine we had a journey in an excellent car for modest price. We paid for the car via this site.

I spent the weekend in Italy and didn't miss the opportunity to drive a rented sports car. Of course, at home of the most supercars there is no other way. I rented the car via this resource. I can't say that it is cheap, but not enormously expensive. For me, it's important that this is the only car search engine that has found the required car. The payment is direct without fees here. I deliberately asked the provider about the price at the destination place. There was no difference in price. I recommend it to everyone.

For a long time we\'ve been engaged in extreme driving. Recently we were in Saudi Arabia. We rode along the desert. It\'s especially beautiful at the end of the day. There were admiration and danger and a host of other things. We rented a car via bookingcar eu. It\'s a very useful site, because it compares all world providers and gives a full base of actual options. It is convenient that you can pay everything without fees directly on the site. There are excellent offers, which we always take.
