Car Rental in Glasgow

Convertible rental in Glasgow

The most widespread cabriolet models offered for rent in Great Britain are: BMW 3 series Cabriolet, Peugeot 206 Cabriolet, Renault Megane Cabriolet, Audi A3 Convertible, Audi A4 Convertible and BMW Z4 Roadster.

At the booking time, please check the rental conditions carefully. Quite often, rental offices in Glasgow require two credit cards to guarantee issuance of a cabrio or a roadster.

We recommend ordering additional no-excess insurance that covers your risk (franchise), since the franchise amount for cabriolets in Great Britain is quite high.

Make sure to inspect the rental invoice issued at the office in Glasgow and compare it with the information indicated in your voucher. Sometimes, rental officers make 'unintentional' mistakes in rental invoices.

In parking garage, examine the vehicle for defects and scratches carefully. If you find any of them, check whether they have been specified in your rental document.

When parking a cabriolet in Glasgow, it is recommended to unfold the roof and close windows in order to prevent theft or robbery.

OrangeSmile.com wishes you an exciting journey with an open roof around Great Britain!

Driving Advices for Great Britain – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities
Previous hints
In the UK, there is left-hand traffic, so tourists, who are accustomed to right-hand traffic, may need some time to adapt. Drivers, who got a driving license not long ago, must be especially careful in order not to lose sight of the main feature of local roads.
The abovementioned peculiarity means that overtaking on roads can only be made on the right. It should be also noticed that all the roads in the UK are highly informative, so driving on them is not difficult and very enjoyable.
At crossroads with circular motion, cars to the right have the advantage. Drivers, who are used to the concept of “hindrance on the right”, should always remember about this peculiarity of local roads and crossroads.

Enjoying sights of Glasgow in cabriolet
Gerald Butler's hometown offers all sorts of opportunities for a wonderful pastime - here you can meet stand-up comedians (The Stand Comedy Club, Rotunda Comedy Club), go to the movies (Glasgow Film Theater, Cineworld Glasgow, IMAX Theater) or visit a theater (Citizens Theater , Theater Royal The Glasgow Royal Concert Hall), as well as listen to jazz and blues in a bar (The Blue Arrow).

Glasgow is also known as a mystical center. Or rather, this center is a place located nearby. We are talking about the famous Overtoun Bridge beloved by dogs for unknown reasons. The fact is that if you walk a dog here, it will definitely jump from it, leaving this world forever. Even if it survives, it will jump off the bridge again. Some skeptics believe that the reason for this is ordinary burrows located under the bridge, and dogs just pick up their smell. Is it true or not? In order to avoid unpleasant consequences, it is better to visit this place without a pet. When you're alone, it's the right time to explore the place shrouded in mysticism. By the way, there is a stunningly beautiful castle nearby.
