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.
  • When you get a car hire in Motherwell, you will see that it’s a popular town that’s set between Glasgow and Edinburgh. Lots of people visit during the weekend too, making it a thriving part of Scotland. As it’s busy, you need to take care when driving in the centre of the town, as lots of people cross the road at points which aren’t official pedestrian crossings. There are also lots of cyclists in Scotland, with Motherwell being no different. For this reason, it’s vital that you regularly check your mirrors, particularly if you’re about to turn or are at a roundabout.
  • If you have a Motherwell car hire, you will see that the town can get very busy with traffic. Rush hour tends to be from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., with many locals driving to Glasgow and Edinburgh for work. If you don’t like driving on the roads when they’re busy, you should try and avoid being on them during these times. One road that is especially busy is the A721, which goes through the centre of the town. If you need to drive in the town, it’s suggested that you try to find an alternative road to take.

A car like a Ford Focus is a good example, which is also great for navigating busy roads. If you want to head out into the hilly Scottish countryside, a car with a bit more bite is recommended. An SUV like a Nissan Qashqai offers you better handling on winding roads and also enhanced grip for steep terrains.
