Welcome
Glasgow airport is situated in the west of Scotland near the towns of Paisley and Renfrew. It is the second busiest airport in Scotland and in 2007 handled almost 9 million passengers. Passenger numbers are expected to reach over 24 million by the year 2030. Glasgow airport is owned by BAA and is a hub airport for Loganair, easyjet and Flyglobespan. Glasgow airport has all the facilities you would expect to find at any international airport e.g. bureau de change, car hire, bars, restaurants, atm’s, post office, pharmacy and excellent shopping. For the business traveler there is a work station with telephone and fax facilities. There are also facilities for disabled travelers but please make advance enquiries about this.
Glasgow airport should definitely be your destination if you want a holiday that combines visiting an exciting international city full of culture where you can shop for exclusively Scottish products not to be found anywhere else, and then when you leave the city, exploring the magnificent scenery within easy reach. With the convenience of car hire you can visit famous beauty spots like Loch Lomond, the trossachs and the western isles, where you may drive for miles without seeing another vehicle on the road! Scotland is steeped in tradition and quite unique.
Don’t forget to bring your golf clubs and fishing tackle and be ready to have a few drams of real scotch at the end of the day! Of course car hire is a must and you will be able to pick up the vehicle of your choice at Glasgow Airport. All the well known car hire companies are to be found at Glasgow Airport such as Budget, Alamo, Hertz, Easycar etc. so shop around for the best deals. My advice is go for comfort more than style as you may be going over some single track roads here and there. If you let the car hire company know your itinerary they will be happy to advise you on the most suitable car for your needs.
