Scotland Car Hire without air conditioning.

Are you asking if it’s possible to rent a car without aircon, or whether you would be able to do without it at that time of the year?

Can I do without it comfortably?

Yes of course you can do without it, but I'd be surprised if a rental car came without it. I rarely use my air con and live in Skye year round.

My car A/C is only on occasionally, so car A/C can be switched off. It is unlikely you will find, not impossible though, a car without A/C as it is a given on all except the most basic cars now.

I agree with the above. My rental car in Scotland was an economy car and the option for A/C was there, although I did not use it at all (this was in May of this year).

Depending on the car's ventilation system, you might want to turn on both a/c and (low) heat if it's fairly warm out but raining. Here in New England, I often have to do this when driving in rainy summer conditions, otherwise the windshield fogs up or -- if I only use heat/defroster -- it gets uncomfortably warm inside the car.

Tagging on to epltd's, comment , the combination of heat and ac is something I also use . Particularly in winter I temper the heat by running the ac simultaneously to keep the windows from fogging up . One other thing about ac - even if its cool outside , an advantage to the ac is that you don't have to listen to road noise . Not an issue in the Highlands , I would agree , but anywhere near a more populated area ,and some M and A roads , it's an advantage
