KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Stirling

  • The city of Stirling is the geographical bridge between the Scottish Lowlands and the Highlands, playing a pivotal role in much of the country’s history. With car hire in Stirling, you can explore both regions with a freedom and flexibility to explore towns and villages beyond the reach of public transport. Start your escapades with a visit to the city of Glasgow, 27 miles south along the M80, as a warm-up for the lengthy trip to Inverness in the heart of the Highlands, 143 miles north via the A9.
  • If you decide on Edinburgh Airport (EDI) for your flight to Scotland, you can obtain a car hire in Stirling from the airport’s Car Hire Centre before setting off on the 30-mile drive to your destination. Among the providers servicing the airport are Thrifty, Alamo and Sixt. To find their desks, just exit the terminal building from Domestic Arrivals and follow the directions to the Multi Storey Car Park. You’ll see the car hire village at the end of the covered walkway.
  • The city of Stirling has a large number of intracity commuters, which means you can expect a significant amount of vehicular, pedestrian and cycle traffic on the motorways during morning and evening rush hours. Craigs Roundabout is a key point for congestion, as is the huge M9/A84 interchange west of Raploch district for inbound and outbound flow to the city centre. The area around University of Stirling is an active pedestrian/cycle zone at any time during the university year.
  • If you want to escape peak rush hour traffic, avoid major roads leading in and out of the city centre from 07:00–09:00 and 16:00–18:30. The early afternoon period from 13:00-15:00 is active with lunch and retail shoppers, which will also cause delays near school and retail zones. Stirling attracts many visitors especially during the summer months between May and September, so if you intend to visit during this period, expect a heavy increase of overall traffic to impede your progress as you drive around the city limits.
  • Mini rental cars in Stirling are around 56% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in Stirling

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Stirling?

    Small compacts and economy cars are the most affordable types of Sterling hire car and with them it’s much easier to find parking. On the other hand, larger 4x4s and intermediate saloons can carry more passengers and offer more storage capacity, so choose the option that provides the best advantage for you and your party.

  • What’s the speed limit in Stirling?

    Unless you’re in a restricted speed zone (commercial/retails districts, hospitals or schools), the legal speed limit in Stirling is 30mph. This increases on secondary roads to between 40mph and 50mph and along primary roads to about 60mph. Motorways such as the M9 allow for a maximum speed of 70mph. Be wary of active CCTV and traffic cameras near key intersections, junctions and roundabouts, as well as areas with reduced speed limits.

  • Where are the best places to park in Stirling?

    Stirling Council manages a long list of free parking areas around the city to park your Stirling car hire, so there are fewer pay and display car parks in the city. In areas where on-street parking is allowed, pay and display rules apply and the tariff is around £0.70 for 2h and around £1.20 for 4h. At the city’s public car parks (pay and display) tariffs range from £1.20 to £1.70 per hour. Blue Badge holders are allowed to park for free at any public parking zone without limit.

  • Can I rent an automatic car in Stirling?

    Yes, automatic cars are available in most car renting companies in Stirling. As cars with manual transmission are more common in many countries, you might have to pay an additional charge for renting an automatic car.

Matthew, who assisted with the rental, was amazing and a pleasure to work with! His colleague, Jacob, even gave us a free ride back to our hotel after we’d returned the car. Great people and a great experience!
