Are you planning to get your car windows tinted but unsure about the price? You’re not alone. One of the most common questions car owners in Edinburgh ask is:
“How much does it cost to tint my vehicle — and does the type of vehicle affect the price?”
Well, the answer is yes — and in this blog, we’ll break it all down for you.
Whether you drive a compact hatchback or a full-size SUV, we’ll walk you through how tinting prices vary by vehicle type, film type, and more. Let’s dive in!
Why Vehicle Type Matters in Tinting Costs
Every car is different — and so is its tinting price. Here’s why:
-
- Window Count & Size: SUVs and MPVs have more windows and larger surfaces than coupes or hatchbacks.
-
- Glass Shape & Curves: Vehicles with complex or curved glass require more precision and time.
-
-
Access Difficulty: Some vehicle interiors are harder to access for applying tint film.
