Car Hire Ayr - Mini guide to Ayr

The southwestern Scottish town of Ayr is located just over six kilometres from Glasgow Prestwick International Airport by car hire in Ayr, and is worth a stop for visitors headed to other destinations. Car rental in Ayr is highly recommended as so many attractions are a fair distance outside of town.

Cheap car hire in Ayr is most likely to be found at the town's Enterprise office or several independent dealerships, but nearby Glasgow Prestwick International Airport includes Europcar, Hertz, Sixt, and Alamo offices.

Ayr is the largest town in Scotland's Ayrshire area, perhaps most famous as the area where Scottish poet Robert Burns was born and raised. A Robert Burns statue greets visitors in the centre of Ayr near the train station, but the poet was actually born in the nearby town of Alloway, home of the Burns National Heritage Park where Burns Cottage and the Burns Cottage Museum are located.

Even more history is carefully preserved at the several ruins of forts and castles throughout the area, including a large portion of the wall Oliver Cromwell constructed around Ayr. Ayr's scenic seaside location on the Firth of Clyde has made it a popular holiday destination, and the coast provides unforgettable views of the Ailsa Craig and the Isle of Arran when the sky is clear.

Visitors to Ayr may also play golf in nearby Prestwick, where Glasgow Prestwick International Airport is located, or watch the annual Scottish Grand National horse race.
