When choosing a vehicle for car hire in Wick, it’s essential to have a car with good heating.

There are hills and a stunning, wild coastline to navigate, which will be much easier with a bigger car with a 4x4 feature.

There are a few car hire options at Wick John O'Groats Airport (WIC). There is a Hertz car hire branch in town, but there is also a private car hire agency called Car Rental Wick Airport. You will not need to take a shuttle to the car hire office at the airport; however, you will need to take a taxi to travel to the Wick car hire agencies closer to the city centre. If you find the local car hire agencies are booked up, another option would be to fly into Inverness and take a car from there to Wick on a scenic coastal road trip.
Driving around Wick is ideal for anyone wanting a more relaxed driving holiday. The stunning scenery, rolling hills and coastal views will take your breath away. Roads in and around Wick are generally in good condition. There are long stretches of road, so you have to take fuel into account when driving. Satellite navigation will help you establish where the necessary service stations are. Anyone who loves driving will enjoy the dramatic coastline that lines the town of Wick.
Considering Wick is quite far north, temperatures rarely reach above 20 degrees Celcius, even in the summer months. This means the roads may be slightly icy for most of the year.
