KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Motherwell
- When you get a car hire in Motherwell, you will benefit from more flexibility with your journey compared to if you opted for another form of transport like a bus, taxi or train. This is because you are able to come and go as you please, rather than having to abide by the public transport schedule. For instance, if you wanted to drive to Glasgow, you can do so in about 25min. Whilst the journey takes around the same time using a train, you will have to adhere to the timetable, so you have less freedom.
- Glasgow Airport (GLA) has a range of car hire companies that you are able to choose from, so it won’t take long to find your dream vehicle. For example, if you wanted to use SIXT, you can find their branch easily. Once you’ve landed, you need to exit the terminal and walk alongside the bus stops to the covered walkway. You will then see ‘Car Rental’ signs. Follow these to the SIXT branch, in only a minute or two.
