Car Hire & Courtesy Cars – Gorebridge, Midlothian

Need a courtesy car or car hire in Midlothian? At Williamson Bros, we keep things simple. We have a small fleet of modern, fully valeted hire cars ready to go, whether you need wheels for a day, a week, or while your own vehicle is in for a service.

We are a working garage, not a rental company, so every car on our fleet is properly maintained and looked after. Right now, we have brand new Nissan Jukes and Suzuki Swift hybrids available. All are valeted before every hire and with a full tank of fuel. Rates are competitive, and if you need a car in Midlothian or the Edinburgh area and want to deal with real people rather than a booking system, give us a call at 0800 999 1740!

Modern Car Hires Available

We deliberately keep our fleet small so every vehicle gets proper attention. No cars are sitting unloved at the back of a car park here. Each one goes through our workshop regularly and is valeted and checked before it goes out on hire.

Nissan Juke: 6-Speed Manual

The Juke is a compact SUV that is great to drive and suits most situations. The Jukes are comfortable, economical, and easy to live with for a day or a week.

Suzuki Swift: Hybrid

The Swift is the practical option. It’s small, light, easy to park and a hybrid, so fuel costs stay low if you are mainly doing local miles around Midlothian or heading into Edinburgh. A good shout for daily use when you do not need anything bigger.

Every car comes fully fuelled and ready to go. We go through everything with you at handover, so there are no surprises.

Flexible Car Hire at Competitive Rates

We keep pricing honest. Small cars start from £49.95 per day. Those are the day rates, and they come down for longer hire periods. If you need something for a week, two weeks, or longer, speak to us directly, and we will work out a rate that makes sense for your situation.

A lot of customers come to us because they have had a bad experience with the bigger rental companies. Unexpected charges and vehicles that look nothing like what was advertised. We do not operate that way.

The price we quote is the price you pay, and the car you book is the car you get. If anything is unclear before you drive away, we would rather sort it on the day than leave you guessing.

Courtesy Cars While Your Vehicle Is in the Garage

One of the most common reasons people hire from us is that their own car is already in with us for work. Whether it is a routine service, an MOT, a repair job or something that has come up unexpectedly, being without a car is inconvenient. We offer slightly discounted hire rates to garage customers for exactly this reason.

When you book your vehicle in for servicing or repairs, just ask about courtesy car availability at the same time. We will do our best to have something ready for you. It does not always guarantee availability, especially at short notice, but we will always try to help. Customers who have used our garage for years will know this is something we have always tried to offer, keeping things simple and keeping you moving while we take care of your car.

If you need to book your vehicle alongside a hire car, you can find more information on our servicing, MOT and repairs pages.

Why Hire Cars From Williamson Bros?

We are not a car rental company that also does garage work. We are a garage that also hires cars, and that distinction matters. The vehicles are maintained by our own mechanics, not shipped in from a third-party fleet. When something needs attention, it gets sorted properly, not patched over.

Beyond that, we are local. Our garage sits right beside Gorebridge train station, which makes us straightforward to reach from across Midlothian without needing a car to collect a car. The team here is the same people you speak to about your own vehicle. There is no call centre, no automated system and no being passed around departments. You call, we answer, and we sort it.

Our small fleet offers flexible hire periods from a single day upwards, and discounts are for customers who hire alongside garage work. Competitive daily rates with better pricing for longer hire periods.

Car Hire Across Midlothian & Edinburgh

Our garage is in Gorebridge, right next to the train station, and we regularly hire customers from across Midlothian and Edinburgh. The surrounding towns and villages we cover most regularly include Dalkeith, Bonnyrigg, Penicuik, Newtongrange, Mayfield, Eskbank, Loanhead, Roslin and Pathhead. Edinburgh city centre is a straightforward drive, and many of our customers commute or travel in regularly.

If you are based anywhere in this area and need short-term car hire, a daily vehicle or a courtesy car during garage work, we are well placed to help.

How to Book

Call us to check availability, and we will confirm which vehicles are free on your dates. For anything urgent, the phone is always the quickest route. If you would prefer to get in touch online, fill in the enquiry form and we will come back to you as soon as we can, usually the same day.
