Booking ahead
It's wiser to book your accommodation ahead of your arrival
in the city and same goes for car hire and your flight as
well. The best places generally tend to get booked in advance,
sometimes by many weeks especially during June, July, and
August. So book your tickets, hotel and car hire at least
one week before you leave for Inverness.
