Travel & Insurance Links

We at Snowsport Highland Holidays would like to make your journey to us that wee bit easier and so, we have put together some very useful links for travelling to the Scottish Ski Resorts (click here for the ski resorts location map) whether by Rail, Air Coach or Ferry and if you would like the flexibility of a car on reaching your destination why not take advantage of our 10% discount on Car Hire!

Even if you don't have your own transport or don't want to drive, why not be a "Green Traveller" and benefit from some good highland mountain air by getting out of the city using the rail services we have outlined below for the CAIRNGORM and NEVIS RANGE RESORTS!!

We have also put together holiday insurance and airport parking links below. We advise that you ensure that the travel insurance policy you choose is adequate for your needs.

We would recommend that clients do not book their travel arrangements until written confirmation of their accommodation has been received.

ARNOLD CLARK CAR HIRE incl insurance (subject to availability):

15 seater minibus - driver requires a category D1 licence


Rates start from £20 per day and are subject to availability. Once we have confirmed your holiday booking we issue you with a reference number to claim your 10% discount. Please note that the discount does not apply to the Economy Cars.

NEWS UPDATE FROM ARNOLD CLARK
: As from 18 September 2006 all children under 135 cms or under 12 years of age will be required to use a booster cushion in our rental vehicles.  As a result it will be necessary to charge £1 per day per seat (maximum of £28). Please note that booster cushions should be ordered when placing bookings. We have just opened two new airport branches at Edinburgh and Inverness.  Both will still operate the courtesy coach as they are in the perimeter of the Airport itself but we do not have a desk at the terminals.

General information can be found on Arnold Clarks website www.arnoldclarkrental.co.uk
