Book Budget hire cars in Glasgow

• How do I return my Glasgow Budget car hire?

  The Budget car hire drop-off point is located outside the main terminal, along St Andrew's Drive. On approaching the airport, you'll take the left turn-off and follow the road around to the right. Follow the signposts directing you towards Glasgow Airport Pick-Up and Drop-Off point. Follow the signs from there leading you to the drop-off points. If you're dropping the keys off after-hours, there will be a drop box to leave the keys in. Dropping the car off after-hours means not getting your deposit back until the final inspection is completed by Budget. If you're dropping your car off in the city centre, your drop-off location will be the office at 70 Lancefield Street, and you'll arrange the drop-off time with the company beforehand. Remember to return the vehicle with the same amount of fuel as when you picked it up.

Smooth process. Only issue was the agent’s hard sell for insurance. He quoted a price for a week I thought acceptable and said he’d give me a better car with low mileage, then I found out it was for a day, not a week. He then gave me another car with high mileage.Reviewed 28 Apr 2026

I hate MG and actively avoid selecting any MG. They are terrible cars. This rental there were only MGs available despite there being the appearance of choice at booking. There was a kia sportage or similar in a separate price/offer from the MG HS at the booking page. I chose the kia and got the MG with no other option available at collection.Reviewed 29 Nov 2024
