The main route if driving to Glasgow from the south is the M6, which becomes the A74 in Scotland and is dual carriageway all the way from the border. The journey north from London takes around 8-10 hours. There's an Autoshuttle Express (T 08705-133714; reservations T 08705-502309) service to transport your car overnight between England and Scotland and vice versa while you travel by rail or air. Car hire is expensive and you may be better off making arrange- ments in your home country for a fly/drive deal through one of the main multi-national companies. The minimum you can expect to pay is around £150-180 per week for a small car. Small, local hire companies often offer better deals than the larger multinationals. Most companies prefer payment with a credit card, otherwise you'll have to leave a large deposit. You'll need to have your driver's licence and be aged between 21 and 70. Motorcycle hire is very expensive, ranging from around £200 up to £350 per week.
