Where I can hire a car

Question

Hi, my name is Olivia Foster. My husband and I recently returned from a vacation in Edinburgh, Scotland. We had a great time because we were able to visit the interesting places of Edinburgh and the suburbs. I can advise you to definitely go to Edinburgh - there is a lot to see there. But, be sure to hire a car first to see more and be mobile.

"Hi, my name is …" is a mistaken format arising from its similarity to an epistolary salutation. "Hi" is a sentence consisting of a single interjection. I don't think it is good to break the last sentence at "but", and there should not be a comma either way. One fix is to make "there is a lot to see there" parenthetical (which it is) with a closing em dash. The comma after "but" seems to be intended as a dramatic pause, but it doesn't read that way. In general, don't rely on punctuation to express ideas. Lay your caveat out in words, or let it go.

By the way, you should not hire a car if all you want is to do Edinburgh. All the good stuff is an easy walk, you have to do something with the stupid car each time you get somewhere, you will sit in traffic when you should be enjoying the town, the driver can't sightsee, you can't sample the single malt, and if you are from a country where they drive on the sane side of the road, your life will change for the worse when you try it their way. Yes, that last was projection. Sorry again about the wing mirror, man.
