Motorhome rental Glasgow: Some tips for your travels
- While the motorways are wide, country roads and village lanes can be a tight squeeze. Go slow and be prepared to pull over to allow others to pass.
- There are no toll roads in Scotland, but you may come across some while driving your campervan in the UK.
- Red Deer Village Holiday Park is very near which is just outside Glasgow, in the village of Steppes. It is also less than an hour’s driving time to Edinburgh in your campervan hire, and handy to Stirling with good access to Loch Lomond.
- Named as the rainiest city of the UK, expect to rain anytime during the day. It is best to bring an umbrella or raincoat when travelling.
- Scotland passed a law reducing the legal alcohol limit from 80mg to 50mg in every 100ml of blood, which is lower than the rest of the United Kingdom. While many factors affect blood alcohol levels, it could mean that drinking as little as a pint of beer may be sufficient to reach your legal limit. Be safe—if you drink, don’t drive.
- Scotland is one of the few places that still allow wild camping. Respect the local rules and leave no trace. Take all your rubbish with you and don’t overload public bins.
- If you require a pet-friendly motorhome and campervan hire, make sure you check the terms on each listing before you book. If ever in doubt about a pet policy, contact us.
