Welcome to Car Hire Prestwick Airport website. Hopefully you will find this site useful if you are planning to rent a car from Prestwick Airport, or Glasgow Prestwick Airport as it sometimes referred to. To avoid confusion, the airport code for Prestwick airport is PIK. The airport code for Glasgow International airport is GLA.
At first could I point out that there has been a great deal of confusion caused as a result of the owners of Prestwick Airport naming it has Glasgow Prestwick Airport. I know that people have arrived at Glasgow International Airport, thinking it was Glasgow Prestwick Airport, to catch a flight, and then had to get a taxi from there to Prestwick Airport which is about 40 miles away.
Glasgow International Airport is situated about 15 minutes drive from Glasgow city centre. Prestwick airport is about 40 minutes drive from Glasgow city centre.
Prestwick airport has grown in popularity in recent years with introduction of the low cost airline Ryanair. Ryanair has flights arriving at Prestwick airport from over 30 locations throughout Europe and the UK. Often passengers are moving on to some other part of Scotland and need transport, car rental being one of the most convenient. There is a train link from immediately beside the airport which will take you into Glasgow Central Railway station. From there or the nearby Queen Street Station, you can get trains to most parts of Scotland. There is also a bus service servicing Prestwick airport, with an express service to Glasgow city centre.
