Important information about Glasgow car rentals

If you’re planning a trip to Glasgow, you should probably think about getting a car rental for the duration you will be there. This is because car rentals in Glasgow provide an excellent way to get around town with ease as you visit all the places you had planned to and do all the activities that were on your itinerary. Your economy car rental will help you navigate through the M77 and M74 freeways, which are some of the major highways connecting the most popular tourist destinations in Glasgow, such as the legendary Ibrox Stadium and the beautiful Hunterian Museum in West End. Finding a nice, cheap car rental in Glasgow shouldn’t be difficult as there are over 50 different car rental locations in Glasgow. You can also find lots of parking space for your passenger van rental.

Is it worthwhile renting a car while visiting Glasgow?

Finding a parking spot for your rental cars in Glasgow should be easy as there are loads of street parking spaces as well as a few parking lots and garages where you can leave your car. Even though most of the street parking spaces are metered and the parking lots charge a price, they are all relatively cheap and shouldn’t do much damage to your pocket. The best part about Glasgow as a city is that it is quite easy to walk around since there are designated walkways as well as pedestrian crossings practically everywhere. However, getting in and out of the city is quite difficult to do on foot, and that’s where your car rentals in Glasgow come in handy. You can also take an hour’s drive to Edinburgh where you can marvel at the beautiful Arthur’s Seat and visit the National Museum of Scotland, among other places.

What different driving laws should I keep in mind when driving in Glasgow?

The first different thing you will notice about driving in Glasgow is that drivers use the left side of the road, and most cars are right-hand drive. This could take some getting used to, especially if you’re used to driving on the right side of the road. For that, we recommend that you stick to the left lane when driving on roads with multiple lanes. Always be cautious when taking right turns with your Glasgow car rental because there could be oncoming cars. Also, when driving around the city center, always be wary of pedestrian traffic and make sure you’re cautious when taking turns at an intersection. If you’re unclear about any driving laws in Glasgow, you can always check with the ministry of transport website for updated laws.

What kind of driver’s license do you need to rent a car in Glasgow?

For you to get car rentals in Glasgow, you will need to provide them with your driver’s license, whose expiry date is not before the end of the rental agreement period. For people with a non-EU driver’s license, one from your home country should suffice, provided that it is written in English or has an English translation. In addition to that, you will need to show your passport, and it shouldn’t be expiring before your rental agreement period is over. While anyone over the age of 18 can drive in Scotland, most rental companies require drivers to be at least 21 years of age.
