Your drive, your vibe

Choose a robust 4X4 if your road trip has you heading out of Glasgow and across Scotland’s glorious landscapes. Or plump for something sweet and petite for tucking into Glasgow’s city car parks. Want to keep your emissions low or zero? Search for a hybrid or an EV.

Less than you’d think

Find no-frills runarounds that keep the daily rate low. Or search for luxury Glasgow car rental, which might be less than you expect. You’ll find a wide choice of options on Turo, and your rate always includes third-party liability insurance and mileage.

Cars where you need them

Need a car from Glasgow airport? Or from Glasgow Central Station when you arrive in town and want to swap rails for roads? Find ooh-lovely vehicles to pick up and return at super handy locations citywide.

Skip the car rental counter

Loch Lomond

Escape to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park to experience Scotland at its outdoorsy best. Follow the well-marked viewpoints on an impossibly scenic drive and linger longer to go camping, cycling, and fishing.

Edinburgh

If you can’t get enough of city life, head from Glasgow to Edinburgh to compare and contrast the two Scottish metropolises. It’ll take you a little over an hour on a good run between the two.

South West Coastal 300

Head 90 minutes south of Glasgow to join a circular road trip — the South West Coastal 300. It starts and ends in Dumfries, following the coastline along country roads past ancient abbeys, botanic gardens, and majestic castles.

Next time you fly, don’t wait in line and fill out forms — pick your car up at hundreds of popular airports.

Convenient pickup & return

Rather than hustling at the busy terminal curbside, take your time picking up the car at approved parking lots or garages. Check in, load up your luggage, and get comfortable with the car without a big rush.

No lines, no paperwork

Skip the rental car counter at hundreds of popular airports without waiting in line or filling out paperwork. Find and pick up the car with the app and hit the road in no time.

Free cancellation

Cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before your trip starts, unless you opt to receive a non-refundable trip discount when you book. Because life happens and it helps to be flexible when it does.

Driving tips in Glasgow

Purple squiggle

Glasgow’s Low-Emission Zone

From June 2023, Glasgow’s Low Emission Zone (LEZ) means that vehicles that exceed Glasgow’s emissions threshold will face a penalty charge if they enter the LEZ. Don’t forget to check exclusions and whether your Glasgow car hire is affected.

Watch out for rush hour

Outside of Scotland’s cities, the roads can be pretty quiet. But just like every other city, Glasgow has a rush hour in the morning and late afternoon, so plan your trips wisely to avoid getting snarled up.

International guest?

In Scotland, cars drive on the left, and all the road signs you’ll see are in miles per hour. There are no tolls on bridges, so don’t worry about finding loose change. If you find yourself on a narrow road in rural Scotland, there are passing places to help keep traffic moving. You might even see the odd animal on the country roads, so drive carefully.

How can I drive unlimited miles during my trip to Glasgow?

Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit.

What types of cars can I book in Glasgow?

Browse the widest selection of vehicles for every occasion and budget on Turo. Find an SUV for a family road trip, an economy car for commuting, a pickup truck for some errands, or an exotic sports car for a special night out in Glasgow.

Turo accepts most credit cards issued by major financial institutions, including American Express and Discover cards, as well as debit cards with a Visa or Mastercard logo that are linked to a checking account.

Apple Pay and Google Pay on mobile devices are also accepted, but Turo does not accept cash or checks as valid payment methods.

No. Unlike rental car companies, Turo is a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace where you can book directly from trusted local car owners in the US, Canada, and the UK.

Or use the “Vehicle makes” filter to find cars from specific luxury brands like Bentley, Porsche, Tesla, Jaguar, Aston Martin, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Range Rover, and more.

Is there a fee to add additional drivers to my trip?

There is no fee or additional charge for adding a driver to your trip on Turo. Only the guest who booked the trip can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests in the US, Canada, and Australia can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s licence and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.

  1. * Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your Turo protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. Liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.

  2. For questions or information about the third party liability insurance that is included in protection plans in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site.

  3. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
