Frequently Asked Questions about Hiring a Car in Glasgow

Can I hire a car in Glasgow if I am under 25?

Renters between the ages of 21-25 will have little trouble hiring a car in Glasgow. However, travellers in this age range should be aware that they may be subject to an additional daily charge known as a young driver surcharge.

Do I need an international driver's permit (IDP) to drive in Scotland?

In Scotland, an IDP is not required to drive your car hire. However, although auto hire companies will not require an IDP for you to drive off the lot, some local police officers may issue a ticket to international drivers without an IDP, in the event that you are pulled over. So, Auto Europe recommends an IDP for your car hire in Scotland.
