Car Hire in Bellahouston, Glasgow, United Kingdom

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.

Familiarize yourself with the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy requires returning the vehicle with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' requires it to be returned at the same fuel level. Full-to-Full is generally more economical.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Glasgow, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Car rental companies usually require a credit card deposit that is temporarily held. Inquire about the deposit amount and its release after returning the vehicle.

Opt for car hire suppliers with high ratings, as these usually reflect better service, newer vehicles, and more convenient pickup locations. At Bellahouston, we have deals from suppliers. Among them, Dollar boasts a rating of 4.9, Routes has a rating of 4.8, and DRIVALIA holds a rating of 4.7.

Be sure to know if your rental includes roadside assistance. This can be crucial in the event of breakdowns or emergencies during your rental period.

Make sure your rental agreement, identification, and insurance details are accessible throughout your rental period for easy retrieval if needed.

When looking at insurance, consider options with zero excess coverage, meaning you won’t need to pay a deductible for damages, providing extra peace of mind.
