Tips

Before you set off

A77 and M77

The A77 runs north from the airport and becomes the M77 into Glasgow; southbound it follows the coast towards Girvan and Stranraer.

Station at the terminal

Prestwick has its own railway station linked to the terminal by a walkway - useful if someone in your party needs to get to Glasgow or Ayr.

Culzean and the coast

Culzean Castle and the Turnberry coast are a short, scenic drive south of Ayr.

Ferries to Arran and Ireland

Ardrossan, for the Isle of Arran, is up the coast; Cairnryan, for Northern Ireland, is down the A77. Check your rental terms before taking the car on a ferry.

Good questions

Car hire at Glasgow Prestwick Airport - FAQ

All questions
Where do I collect my hire car at Prestwick?

It depends on the supplier. Some offers are for collection at the airport, others from branches a few minutes away in Ayr. The pick-up type and your voucher explain what to do.

How far is Prestwick from Glasgow?

About 30 miles. The A77 and M77 take you to the south side of the city, and the drive usually takes under an hour outside the rush hour.

Can I return the car to Glasgow Airport?

Yes. Tick "Return to a different location" to see one-way prices to Glasgow Airport, Edinburgh or elsewhere in the UK. A one-way fee may apply, depending on the supplier.

What is the drink-drive limit in Scotland?

It's 50 mg of alcohol per 100 ml of blood - lower than in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Even one drink can put you over, so it's best not to drink at all.
