Car Rental, Driving and Parking in Glasgow and Scotland


As with Scotland and the whole of the United Kingdom, when hiring a car at Prestwick Airport, always drive on the left-hand side of the road, giving way to those approaching from the right. Many scenic stretches and rural roads can be found outside of Glasgow, providing an appealing contrast to the heavy traffic in the city centre. In some remote areas and country lanes, the roads becomes a single track, with various passes placed along the way.

As you would expect, there are a number of multi-storey car parks in the very heart of Glasgow, such as NCP garages, including one particularly popular NCP car park along Howard Street. During busy periods, spaces can become scarce and most are charged either per hour or per day, being operated by Glasgow City Council. Further car parks can be found close to the cathedral, along Centre Street, Dunlop Street and High Street. Parking spaces are also available at the St. Enoch Shopping Centre along Argyle Street.
