Car hire available over the weekends In Wick
28th November 2012
Mackays Hotel is delighted to announce in collaboration with Richards Garage car hire vehicles will be available from the hotel outwith normal working hours, including Saturday and Sunday.
Murray Lamont, of Mackays Hotel, commented that he felt there was a gap in the market and particularly on a Sunday when there was no public transport to John O'Groats. "Like Mackays Hotel, Richards Garage is a family run firm and has been established for nearly 60 years. They have always provided a helpful service coupled with a good standard of product."
Alastair Richards, of Richards Garage, said: "...Murray approached us and it seemed the right thing to do. It adds to the services available for visitors to the North."
The new service means that during the weekend all you need to do is contact Mackays Hotel and you can arrange your car hire with a face to face meeting.
