Paisley car hires from £20/day

You’ll face a bit of a pleasant dilemma when you’re looking at what type of car to hire when you’re visiting Paisley. It’s tempting to get something that can take on the surrounding Scottish countryside like a 4x4 or to enjoy the secondary roads in a luxury saloon. On the other hand, a more compact city car will likely make a more convenient choice if you’re more inclined to enjoy everything that’s on offer in the city itself, particularly in the busier areas mentioned above.

Don’t be lulled into being lax about speed limits by the relaxed setting of the city. Keep a sharp eye out for speed camera alerts, particularly on Paisley Road itself, on Renfrew Road, and the Glenburn Road section of town where it intersects Caplethill Road and Glennifer Road. The speed limit in the centre of the city and its residential areas is 30mph. As you move outside these zones, the speed limit increases to 60mph on the motorways.

Parking is really reasonably priced in Paisley, at around £0.60 for 2h and £2.40 for all-day parking. Look specifically for the Bridge Street Car Park, the ones at the north-west and south-west ends of Cross Street and on Glen Lane.
