We were based at Aigas, a Field centre for Highland wildlife. We had an amazing week watching animals and birds and visited some beautiful locations.

Hired the car to take us round the North Coast 500 and the Nissan Qashqai was the perfect vehicle. The trip and the route was incredible - so much beautiful scenery to take in and endless spots to pull over and take pictures or explore. The drive down Bealach Na Ba was particularly spectacular. Helpful Hint: do it North to South starting at the Applecross end to get the best views as you descend (otherwise it's all in the rear-view mirror!)

Exceptional Service and Great Cars!
Exceptional Service and Great Cars! I recently rented a car from Astralis Rent Car, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The booking process was quick and easy, and their team was very responsive and helpful with all my questions. The car was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described—no surprises, just smooth driving. What really stood out was their professionalism and customer care. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Whether you're visiting for business or leisure, I highly recommend Astralis Rent Car for reliable service and excellent value. Will definitely rent from them again!
