by car

When you think that the population doubles during the festival you can see why problems arise. Parking in the city centre, is awkward, relatively expensive and Edinburgh parking wardens are vigilant. Often you are best parking your car outside the "peripheral zone" (where parking is free) and walking into the city centre.
which will help you locate the main car parks (or "parking lots" if you prefer) in Edinburgh city centre. The interactive map includes hours of opening, telephone numbers, and car park capacity.
‘Get out of town’
While the experience you are sure to have with your car or car rental in Edinburgh is exciting and memorable, the surrounding Scottish countryside offers a unique experience that simply should not be missed. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city life, you will find tiny coastal villages and ancient medieval towns, not yet tainted by the frantic pace of this modern era. Enhance your car rental with driving itineraries which offer you the freedom to make your own choices, while providing you inside secrets known only to experienced travelers. Scotland offers a wealth of history and abundance of culture around every turn.
