KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Kirkcaldy

  • When you get a car hire in Kirkcaldy, you get more flexibility compared to travelling on an alternative mode of transport like a bus or a train. This is because you can leave at a time that’s better for you rather than relying on schedules of public transport. For example, if you wanted to go to Dundee, you can get there in about 50min by car, and whilst taking a train takes a similar time, you won’t have the freedom to leave when you want.
  • Edinburgh Airport (EDI) has a range of car hire companies that you can pick from, making it easy to get your ideal vehicle. For instance, you can get a car from SIXT, which is easy to locate near the terminal. Once you’ve arrived, you need to exit the airport and pass the bus stops. There is then a covered walkway which you continue to walk through, via the Airport Plaza. At the end of the walkway, you’ll see the ‘Car Rental’ sign showing where the SIXT branch is located.
  • When you opt for car hire in Kirkcaldy, you will see that the town is busy with tourists and those on day trips, especially on weekends. With lots of people in the town centre, you need to be extra vigilant for people crossing the roads in areas which aren’t marked as pedestrian crossings. There are also a lot of cyclists in Scotland, with Kirkcaldy being no different. Make sure you regularly check your mirrors when driving, especially if you’re at a roundabout or intersection.
  • When you get a Kirkcaldy car hire, you’ll notice that the centre of the town can get very busy with traffic, especially during rush hour when lots of people commute to Edinburgh for work. This tends to be from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. So, if you want to avoid busy roads, it’s wise to not drive during these times. One road that can get very busy is Victoria Road, which is one of the streets that connect the town to the A921. If possible, try to avoid this road and find an alternative route.

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

    This town is popular with weekend tourists, especially those that want to see Ravenscraig Castle. As it can get busy, it’s suggested that you stick with a small car, like a Kia Rio. This will be great for driving on busy roads and also for tight parking spaces. If you plan to head into the Scottish countryside, you will want a vehicle that’s more robust. A Nissan Qashqai is a good option, as it gives you better grip and handling for the steep and rugged terrain in Scotland.

  • What’s the speed limit in Kirkcaldy?

    It’s important you don’t go faster than the speed limits when in your car hire in Kirkcaldy, or you might get fined or have an accident. On motorways, the top limit is 70 mph (113 km/h). On rural roads that aren’t motorways, it’s 60 mph (96 km/h), whereas in towns, the maximum speed is 30 mph (48 km/h). If you’re driving near schools and other busy urban areas, the limit may even drop to 20 mph (32 km/h).

Alternatively, you can park at Mercat Shopping Centre for about £ 1.90 (₹ 175) for 2 hours or the Esplanade Multi-storey car park for roughly £ 1.70 (₹ 156) for the same time limit.
