Traffic Information & SIXT Tips

If renting a car after your arrival to Glasgow Airport (GLA) you will only be eight miles west of the city center. There are many easily accessible roadways running into and through Glasgow. The M8 travels through the city center and will connect you to the M77, M73 and M80. If wanting to head to the western Highlands you can connect by the A82, while the M74 can be used to reach southern destinations. Although the city center is laid out in a grid system it unfortunately does not make for easy navigating. Driving in the city center may take some getting used as you will often encounter one way streets, bus lanes and pedestrian-only districts. Parking in the city center is limited and can be rather expensive. It might be better to either park and ride from a subway station or to leave your car in one of the many multi-story parking lots which are easy to spot and will even display how many spaces are available.

With your rent a car in Glasgow you will be able to see all the amazing attractions. Spend time in the city center and be sure to visit its many museums, shopping and dining destinations. Hit up the so-called "Style Mile" of Buchanan Street or drive east to the creative district of Merchant City. The West End is also a fun Bohemian district, home to the University of Glasgow and Glasgow Botanic Gardens. Heading to the East End allows you to check out the famous Glasgow Barrowland market and Glasgow Necropolis Cemetery. For some time outdoors head to the South Side's Pollok Park.

Sightseeing Destinations

Take a drive to the largest loch in Scotland, Loch Lomond. Spend time getting to know this beautiful landscape, which is part of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. A visitors center at the southern end in the town of Balloch can help you plan your visit.

I rented a Renault Clio during our stay in Glasgow to take a day trip to Oban ahead the day before. The process was smooth and the car was ready for pickup. The staff at the desk was good and processed me in good time. The return, after closing hours, was a little confusing trying to find the spot but it wasn't too bad. I found the spot and dropped the key in the return box. Overall good experience. FYI, if you are from out of the country and you are taking a day trip, make sure you rent a car with navigation included like we did, unless you have unlimited data on your international pass from your phone provider. The navigation helped save my data from having to use google maps. Also opt for unlimited mileage as you will probably drive over 200 miles. You will pay a little extra for these but it is worth it. I also rented a manual transmission since I drive a manual back home in USA, but I will admit it was awkward at first driving a right-hand vehicle and found myself instinctively reaching for the gear shifter with my right hand rather than my left. If I had to do it again, I would have rented an automatic to make it easier on myself, but eventually I got used it after about 30 minutes. You could get used to it too, but I'd say make it easy on yourself if you want to avoid the learning curve.

The review came 9 months late :) Rented a car for the road trip on 6 Mar and specially chose this branch which was directly opposite from Ibis where we stayed. We were served by Mr Fung who patiently waited for my card payment to go thru as I've set too many overseas payment restrictions. He had also gave us tips on where to eat based on our itinerary and advised us on the road condition. We bought additional coverage based on his recommendations as coming from the tropics, we weren't experience driving in snow, which helped greatly later in our trip. Overall, the service was superb and friendly, we were very grateful!

I rented a car out over the weekend and had an excellent experience. The booking was quick and seemless. The handover was great and the staff were really friendly. I must admit after booking I was really nervous reading some of the reviews but my experience was faultless. I opted for full insurance/vehicle cover which costs slightly more but is well worth it for peace of mind. The deposit was costly but was returned in three days after dropping the the vehicle off, as advertised. Thanks to the team at Waterloo street. I'll definitely be back!
