Top tips for renting a car at Glasgow Airport

  • In Glasgow it is often cheaper to get a car at the airport as opposed to in the city centre, especially if you book ahead. The Scottish countryside provides scenic landscapes that can be explored with freedom and total flexibility by driving yourself. Within the city, Glasgow is built more for cars than walking and the city's grid system makes it extremely easy to navigate for tourists. By picking your car up at the airport it will take roughly 20min to get from the airport to Glasgow's city centre via the motorway.
  • There are a variety of companies available for your car hire at Glasgow Intl Airport (GLA). While you may have experience with the larger international companies be sure to check out the deals on offer from smaller local providers too. You can see all the different offers available by using KAYAK to see prices and vehicles offered by the different companies providing car hire at Glasgow Intl Airport. Once you've made your choice, simply book through KAYAK to have your vehicle ready and waiting for you when you arrive.
  • Note that the insurance required to get a Glasgow Intl Airport car hire may be different depending on if you are coming from inside the UK or outside the UK. We recommend getting the most insurance you can; if something does go wrong it will be as hassle-free for you as possible. Be aware that if you are hiring a car and the registered driver is under the age of 25 this will cost you extra on insurance and may limit your vehicle options.
  • The terminal tends to be busiest in the morning between 09:00 and 12:00. The best time to get through the airport quickly is in the afternoon between 14:00 and 17:00. If speed is a priority for you Europcar may be the best option as they offer Click and Collect for pre-booked vehicles. Be aware that this option is only available to UK residents and incurs an extra charge. This must be booked 24h in advance. Some companies offer after-hours pickup and drop-off which will be during the quietest times but be aware that after-hours pickup will incur an extra cost as staff will need to assist you.
  • Book your rental car at Glasgow Airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs about renting a car at Glasgow Airport

  • What extra services are offered?

    Most major companies such as Hertz, Budget and Europcar offer child seats for a small extra cost. Many companies including Avis and Hertz have rewards programmes that are free to sign up for and will pay dividends for frequent travellers. Perks may include skipping queues and exclusive discounts. If you need a long-term car hire Thrifty's FlexiFleet provides a flexible long-term rental that allows you to swap cars as your needs change with just a two-month commitment.

  • Where are the service desks located?

    All on-site car hire at Glasgow Intl Airport can be found just a short 2min walk outside of the arrivals terminal. Simply present your documentation to the service counter of the provider you have chosen and once payment has been processed and you've gone over the rental agreement they will take you to your vehicle at a nearby parking lot within the airport.

  • What documentation is required?

    To hire a car you first need to be at least 23 years old. You will need to present a driver's licence that has been valid for at least 12 months. You will also need your passport even if you are travelling within Scotland and your booking confirmation. Sometimes certain providers, including Thrifty, will ask you to bring extra proof of address documents such as a bank statement or utility bill dated within eight weeks of your booking.

  • Which car rental companies will pick you up at Glasgow Airport?

    Car rental companies that offer shuttle or pick-up services from Glasgow Airport to off-airport locations include Advantage, Alamo, Arnold Clark, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Easirent, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Europcar, and GREEN MOTION .

The car had been put through a car wash but I would not say it was clean or well presented. There were residual items on it. (Bird droppings). To be fair, I have rented cars from other providers at Glasgow airport and they are similar. This is more a “site problem” than an Avis problem. I hated the car - I would now actively avoid MG in any car rental. Awful. Not an Avis specific problem.

I hate MG and actively avoid selecting any MG. They are terrible cars. This rental there were only MGs available despite there being the appearance of choice at booking. There was a kia sportage or similar in a separate price/offer from the MG HS at the booking page. I chose the kia and got the MG with no other option available at collection.

My appointment was scheduled for 10pm. I showed up around 10:20 PM, because my husband’s checked bag was on the plane after us. I assumed this wouldn’t be an issue, since normally the process of renting a car takes some time. When I showed up, I was told that the staff left at 10pm. They didn’t bother calling us to tell us. Apparently, they ONLY call you if you include your flight number on the reservation. When I showed up the next morning to get the car, mind you the entire reservation was paid for in advance, I was told the car was given away. I then had to pay an extra $400 for a different car. I asked for a refund for the first reservation, but nothing was given to me.

I paid for my rental on your site. I got to the pick up location and i had to pay an extra approx. 100 pounds in order to rent the vehicle .... so the total your site gave me was not in fact the total.

I wasn't given a car as Sixt wouldn't accept my temporary license. The gentleman at the desk was very helpful - he checked all the other agencies and took me to one that accepted my license - I had to pay £200 more than the rental I'd booked with you. I did appreciate that my original rental was refunded immediately.

The customer service was impeccable. I was served by a guy named Ish and he was just amazing. The car was clean, had brand new smell, it was a great drive and the return was painless. I don't feel at this time that anything could have been better except for the price, but that's the market and not the company's fault.

Worst rental car experience. Seems like they are looking to scam for any dent or scratch. I didn’t hit anything and they found a small dent in wheel area what was probably there before. I couldn’t even see it. The car already had scratches and other things from before. They are here to scam you would never used again.

I didn't ever receive my car.. When you sign up for the car it doesn't tell you that the £2500 deposit you need doesnt get returned for upto 2 months.. All this should be made aware before going to pick car up.. All in a rather embarrassing experience

Pros:

Drop off was super easy. The person that handled the drop off/shuttle was super friendly and nice. They also picked us up from the airport, which is like a 2 minute drive so that was cool too. -The car was amazing! Massage drivers seat and a lot of fun features that I've never seen before.

Cons:

- Worth keeping in mind when looking around that you'll have to put down an above average deposit if you choose to go with your own credit card insurance (over 2,500gbp). If you choose to go with one of their options for insurance it will add a couple hundred to your bill. So if you think this is the more inexpensive option, you may be wrong with all the extras you'll have to get. -Make sure on pick up to take pictures of everything (even scratches and dents under 4cm or whatever they suggest) We were asked on drop off if we had a picture of a dent that we were told we didn't have to document on pickup. Luckily we had figured as much and had video/pics of it. -They had the tank filled just over half which I thought was odd, usually rental cars start with a full tank but that could just be my preference.
