Delivered to Harris

Where and how you collect

Vehicles are delivered to a collection point in Tarbert that is arranged with you before you arrive. There is no Car Hire Hebrides office or depot at Tarbert, and the exact meeting location and handover time are confirmed before you travel.

The address above is Tarbert village, for orientation only. It is not a Car Hire Hebrides premises and not a fixed collection point. Your booking confirmation gives the exact meeting location, the handover time and how to return the keys.

Say it plainly

There is no office or depot at Tarbert

Tarbert is not a branch. There is no Car Hire Hebrides premises, no counter and nobody waiting. The vehicle is delivered for you to collect at an arranged time and place.

That is a genuinely good arrangement for Harris. It puts a vehicle where the ferry lands without asking you to travel to Stornoway first, but it only works if you know what to expect, which is why we say it here rather than in the small print.

What to check

Before you travel to Harris

Read your confirmation before you set off, not on the pier. It carries the collection point, the key arrangement and the return instructions, and the mobile signal at the port is not something to rely on.

If your sailing or your plans change, tell us as early as you can. A delivered collection is arranged in advance, so the earlier we know, the more we can do about it.

Harris and beyond

Tarbert as a one-way endpoint

Collecting at Tarbert and returning at Stornoway (or the reverse) is one of the more useful one-way routes we run, because it saves driving the length of Lewis and Harris twice.

Choose different pickup and return locations in the booking search. Availability and pre-arrangement apply, any charge is confirmed before booking, and a vehicle must never be left at an unagreed location.

Harris roads are narrow, winding and single-track in places, and often busy with walkers and cyclists in summer. If you are carrying bikes, boards or serious luggage, size the group to the load rather than to the number of people.

Good to know

Delivered collection, answered

No. There is no office and no depot at Tarbert. Vehicles are delivered to the ferry port for an arranged, unmanned collection.
