KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Prestwick
- Car hire in Prestwick offers a greater amount of flexibility compared to that of other modes of transport, such as taxis buses or trains. Not only does this mean you don’t have to rely on public transport timetables, but you can also go directly to your destination. For example, you can travel to Clydebank in about 55min by car. The alternative option is to take the train, which not only takes about 1h 15min, but also requires you to make a transfer along the way.
- Glasgow Prestwick Airport (PIK) is within close proximity to Prestwick, so it’s a great place to collect your hire car from. Once you’ve landed and collected your luggage, you will find an array of car hire branches conveniently located. For example, Keddy is located inside the airport terminal, whereas Arnold Clark is only a short shuttle journey away. At the branch you’ll need to show your photo ID, as well as complete the required paperwork, before your Prestwick car hire provider shows you to your vehicle.
- Using your car hire in Prestwick, you will find that it’s a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, especially in the summer months when it’s a popular beach location. As jaywalking is not prohibited in the UK, it’s important that you remain vigilant when driving, as people often cross the roads in areas that are not designated pedestrian crossings. With cycling being a popular sport across the UK, including Scotland, you should also regularly consult your mirrors to check for cyclists on the road.
- When driving a Prestwick hire car, you’ll find the roads get very congested during peak season. In addition to this, the roads are also busy when locals head to and from work during rush hour. This tends to be between 8:00 and 9:00 and 17:00 and 18:00. If you’re not comfortable driving on busy roads, it’s recommended to avoid these times and instead drive during the late morning and early afternoon. The A77 is one road that gets particularly busy as it connects the town Glasgow, so try using the A79 instead as it might be less congested.
