Drivalia’s Glasgow Airport branch on McFarlane Street in Paisley is a short drive from Paisley Gilmour Street station. Our meet-and-greet service collects you near the station when your train arrives, brings you to the branch to pick up your car, and takes you back to Gilmour Street once your hire is complete.
Paisley Gilmour Street is one of the busiest stations in Scotland outside the major cities, with frequent ScotRail services to Glasgow Central and trains along the Ayrshire Coast and Inverclyde lines towards Ayr, Largs, Ardrossan and Gourock.
It’s also close to Glasgow Airport, making it a useful arrival point for travellers from across the west of Scotland.
With the M8 nearby, a hire car from Paisley lets you explore well beyond the town. Visit Paisley Abbey, head into the hills of Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park, cross the Erskine Bridge towards Loch Lomond, or follow the coast down to Largs and the ferry to Great Cumbrae.
Our fleet includes compact hatchbacks, saloons, estates, people carriers and SUVs.
Your car will be waiting at 35 McFarlane Street, Paisley PA3 1SA. Call our branch at least 1 hour before your train is due into Gilmour Street, confirm when you’ll be arriving, and a member of our team will come to meet you.
Booking a Paisley hire car takes only a few minutes on the Drivalia website or in our app, with live availability and all-inclusive pricing shown for each vehicle so you know the total cost up front.
Our daily rates are compared against other car rental providers in Paisley and around Glasgow Airport to keep them competitive, and the team at our Drivalia Glasgow Airport car rental branch is ready to assist.
