Ayr car hire

While the traffic can be busy at times you shouldn’t have any trouble choosing a suitable Ayr car hire option. A moderately sized saloon will be appropriate, unless you’re alone and prefer something smaller and more compact, like an economical city car. However, given that you’re in a picturesque corner of Scotland you may be staying in the town and spending your days exploring the surrounding scenery. In this case, anything from an SUV or MPV to a luxury cruiser will do you well. If you’re travelling in a group, then a people carrier would be a good choice.

The speed limit in Ayr is 30mph, which is enforced by means of speed cameras. They’re signposted, but if you’re not familiar with the city, then take advance warning to be careful along the A719 Whitletts Road where it meets Walker Road, and once again when you’re approaching Glenmuir Place. On the A77 that you’ll use to explore the outlying areas, you’ll be free to travel at 70mph.

You’ll generally have to pay for parking all across town, especially in the town centre, but excluding street parking in the quiet residential areas. Parking costs range from around £0.80 to £2. The car park closest to the centre is in Carrick Street, which is under a 2-minute walk to the shopping and restaurant zone. About a minute further away is the Kyle Centre, which is one of the cheaper car parks. A little further out is Boswell Park and one at Dalblair Road.
