Glasgow car rentals

Roads throughout Scotland can be somewhat narrow, therefore you might want to consider renting a small, compact vehicle if there will be only 2 or 3 of you in the car. Additionally, as with many cities in Europe, cars with an automatic transmission are quite rare. Consequently, if you are not used to driving a stick shift, be sure to request an automatic when making your reservation.

Signs are posted throughout the city noting the legal speed limits. When driving in and around the downtown area, you’ll need to drive at speeds of only 20 mph. However, once you are on the expressway, you can pick up the speed to a maximum of 70 mph.

Finding a parking spot on the street of downtown Glasgow can be nearly impossible. Therefore off-street parking is the most popular option when in the city center. Many residents find it most convenient to park far away and take the subway (which offers an all-day parking fee) to city attractions such as Ibrox Stadium, Riverside Museum, or Glasgow Cathedral.
