If you intend to roam around the Western Highlands area, an SUV hire with 4X4 capability can handle any rough terrain you encounter. For easy romantic weekenders in town, a compact or small economy is an economical choice and suitable for the purpose, but if money is no object, why not splurge on a late-model convertible or luxury car? To attend home games with family or friends at Rugby Park, however, a people carrier or passenger van is a more appropriate Kilmarnock car hire.

The speed limit in downtown Kilmarnock and through built-up areas is 30 mph (50 km/h), and this increases to 60 mph (90 km/h) on single carriageways and roads through outlying areas. The maximum speed of driving along dual carriageways and motorways is 70 mph (120 km/h). Be mindful that school and hospital zones have much lower speed limits and normally have increased pedestrian/vehicular activity, so drive with caution if you’re passing these.

On-street metered parking is available for limited periods (usually 2 hours) in Kilmarnock’s parking zones. Paid parking in the town centre is generally in effect from 8 am-5 pm Monday-Saturday, which usually means you can park your car hire in Kilmarnock for free between 5 pm and 8 am as well as all day on Sundays and holidays. As an alternative, consider booking accommodation with on-site parking privileges, to escape feeding the meters downtown.
