Important information about Ayr car hire

How do I get from Glasgow Prestwick International Airport (PIK) to the car hire centre?

If you're looking to hire a car from Glasgow Prestwick International Airport, you're in luck – there are several car hire companies within the airport terminal and in the Ayr town centre. If you're arriving at the airport, you can find car hire desks for Avis, Europcar and Hertz in the main terminal building. If you prefer to hire from a company located in Ayr, there are branches of these companies as well as an Enterprise in the town centre. To get from the airport to the town centre, you can take a taxi or a local bus, which runs roughly every 30 minutes. The journey takes approximately 10-15 minutes. Alternatively, you can arrange for a shuttle service or a private transfer through your car hire company.

What documentation do I need to hire a car in Ayr?

If you're hiring a car in Ayr, Scotland, you'll need specific documents to get started. First, you'll need a valid driver's licence. If you're from the UK, this can be a full or provisional licence that’s at least 12 months old. If you're coming from outside the UK, you'll need an International Driving Permit (IDP) as well. In addition to your driver's licence, you'll need a credit card in your name to cover the car hire deposit and any additional charges. You may also need proof of your identity, like a passport or national identity card. It's always a good idea to check with the specific Ayr car hire company you plan to use, to confirm their documentation requirements.

What driving laws should I keep an eye out for in Ayr?

When driving in Ayr, there are a few specific driving laws to keep in mind. It's important to keep an eye out for pedestrians, as they have the right of way at designated crossings. Speed limits are marked on roads and can vary depending on the area, so be sure to pay attention to signs. It's also worth noting that Scotland has a lower legal alcohol limit for drivers than other parts of the UK, so it's best to avoid drinking any alcohol if you plan on driving. Finally, if you're unfamiliar with the area, it's a good idea to use a GPS navigation system or map to help you navigate the roads safely. By keeping these driving laws in mind, you can ensure a safe and enjoyable driving experience in Ayr.

Can I drive to other states, regions or countries with a hired car from Ayr?

If you're hiring a car in Ayr, you may be wondering whether you can take it to other regions or countries. If you plan to travel beyond Scotland, you must inform the car hire company and obtain their permission first. Restrictions and fees may apply, and it's important to check with the hire company beforehand. If you're planning to drive to England, Wales or Northern Ireland, you shouldn't have any issues as long as you inform the company and they approve it. However, if you plan to take the car outside the UK, you may face restrictions or additional fees. To drive a hired car to other countries in Europe, you will need to obtain a VE103B form from the car hire company. This allows you to drive a hired car outside the UK. You may also need an International Driving Permit (IDP), depending on the country you're visiting. It's essential to check the requirements for each country you plan to visit and make sure you have the necessary documents before setting off.
