When deciding the best type of car to hire in East Kilbride, the main things to consider are the type of trip you have planned and your budget. If you are travelling with a small touring group or the family, you might prefer a passenger van. A van or SUV would be your best bet if you are here for an outdoor adventure and have large gear or bulky items to take to remote locations. Load up all your fishing gear and head out to the mashes to spend hours enjoying nature before heading back to the city. Driving in East Kilbride isn't an issue for a car of any size, so your comfort is the number one deciding factor when choosing a small or large vehicle.

When driving on motorways in East Kilbride, the usual driving speed is 70 mph (112 kph) when there are two lanes. However, take extra caution if the roads are wet when driving on fast roads, and reduce your speed by at least 10 mph (or 20 kph). You'll notice areas where the max speed limit is 20 mph (30 kph). Take caution in these areas as they are usually heavily built-up and residential, near parks and schools, and tend to have speed cameras to enforce the speed limit.
