Driving in UK/Scotland

Regarding insurance, on my last trip I purchased a third-party insurance policy designed specifically for foreign travelers renting cars abroad. Fortunately had no cause to use it, so I can't comment on that aspect, but it was much more reasonably priced than the rental company's insurance. I probably have the name somewhere but I found it online so some Googling should turn them up.

If you buy your trip as a bundle through oneo f the major online vendors such as Orbitz or Expedia they almost always offer you a tipr insurance package that includes, in addition to trip cancellation or delay provisions, extra car rental coverage, if that is part of your package. It is usually fairly reasonable compared to the overall trip cost. Last one for me was about $100 for coverage for three people, transatlantic flights, 9 days 4 star hotel and hotel transfers----$4600US cost equivalent. No car rental though.
