KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Kilmarnock

  • The town of Kilmarnock is located in the Western Highlands of Scotland and is famous for its carpets and Johnny Walker whisky. Getting around this large town may not be easy, due to its limited public transport system, but car hire in Kilmarnock gives you the means to move independently and the convenience to travel wherever you want at a moment’s notice. A river runs through Dean Castle Country Park, making it an ideal location for some morning/afternoon relaxation. It’s around 2 miles (about 3 km) north of downtown, but if you prefer a seaside atmosphere, head to Stevenson, approximately 14 miles (about 22.5 km) west via A71; both are easily accessible with a hire vehicle.
  • Glasgow lies around 24 miles (about 39 km) from Kilmarnock and has two international airports where you can get a car hire. Glasgow International Airport (GLA) is the larger one, and its car hire centre, just outside Terminal 2, has a rash of major providers, like Hertz and Europcar. Glasgow Prestwick Airport (PIK) doesn’t have one, but a few providers, including Enterprise, operate offices in the area. Either location is ideal for a smart compact car or sturdy SUV for your road adventures. You’ll need to be at least 21 years old to obtain a car hire in Kilmarnock, and providers usually levy charges on drivers 25 years and younger.
  • Driving in Kilmarnock, you should always be on the left-hand side of the road. Only use a hands-free mobile behind the wheel and ensure all passengers are wearing seatbelts before you get underway. Operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a serious offence and extremely dangerous, so exercise good judgement on the road. Expect heavy CCTV coverage in the town centre and be watchful for darting pedestrians and cyclists. If there’s an emergency situation, dial 999.
  • Kilmarnock lies off the beaten tourist path and doesn’t get overly crowded, so you should expect a moderate level of traffic in the summer months. However, its local football team competes in the Scottish Premiership; therefore, there will be heavily congested areas around Rugby Park during the season. The A759/A735 leads past the railway station, to the park, and this stretch should be avoided during home fixtures on Sunday. Also, expect slowdowns on A735 as it travels through the town centre during weekday afternoon lunch periods, usually from 1 pm-3 pm.

  • Should I get insurance when hiring a car in Kilmarnock?

    Most car hire providers in Kilmarnock offer insurance but the level of protection can differ substantially. If you're unsure whether to get extra protection for your car hire in Kilmarnock, check out KAYAK's car hire insurance guide.

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

    If you intend to roam around the Western Highlands area, an SUV hire with 4X4 capability can handle any rough terrain you encounter. For easy romantic weekenders in town, a compact or small economy is an economical choice and suitable for the purpose, but if money is no object, why not splurge on a late-model convertible or luxury car? To attend home games with family or friends at Rugby Park, however, a people carrier or passenger van is a more appropriate Kilmarnock car hire.

  • What's the speed limit in Kilmarnock?

    The speed limit in downtown Kilmarnock and through built-up areas is 30 mph (50 km/h), and this increases to 60 mph (90 km/h) on single carriageways and roads through outlying areas. The maximum speed of driving along dual carriageways and motorways is 70 mph (120 km/h). Be mindful that school and hospital zones have much lower speed limits and normally have increased pedestrian/vehicular activity, so drive with caution if you’re passing these.

  • Where are the best places to park a car in Kilmarnock?

    On-street metered parking is available for limited periods (usually 2 hours) in Kilmarnock’s parking zones. Paid parking in the town centre is generally in effect from 8 am-5 pm Monday-Saturday, which usually means you can park your car hire in Kilmarnock for free between 5 pm and 8 am as well as all day on Sundays and holidays. As an alternative, consider booking accommodation with on-site parking privileges, to escape feeding the meters downtown.
