Why choose Glasgow for your road trip

Glasgow — a city worth exploring

Glasgow's Charles Rennie Mackintosh trail links over 30 buildings designed by the celebrated architect, making it the largest collection of Art Nouveau-influenced structures in the United Kingdom. Scotland's largest city sits on the River Clyde and rewards you with world-class museums that charge no admission — the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum alone houses more than 8,000 objects across 22 themed galleries. Stroll through the Necropolis, a Victorian cemetery perched on a hill behind Glasgow Cathedral, for panoramic views across the rooftops. The Riverside Museum, designed by Zaha Hadid, traces the city's transport heritage along the waterfront, while the Botanic Gardens in the West End offer a peaceful break beneath the curved glass of the Kibble Palace. Edinburgh lies just 75 km to the east for a day trip, and Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park begins only 40 km to the north-west, giving you easy access to open water and mountain scenery. Glasgow's grid-pattern streets and well-signed ring road make driving a motorhome straightforward compared with many historic Scottish cities. With Yescapa, you hire your campervan directly from local owners who know the best routes out of the city and can share tips on overnight spots along the west coast. Choosing a peer-to-peer campervan means competitive prices and a personal touch that sets your trip apart from the start.

Best time to visit

Glasgow comes alive in June during the West End Festival, one of Scotland's largest cultural celebrations, with street parades and open-air performances ideal for exploring by campervan. August brings the Glasgow International Piping Festival, filling George Square with music. Summer months offer the longest daylight hours, perfect for driving onward to the Highlands. Spring and autumn are quieter, and with Yescapa's peer-to-peer model you can often find better hire prices outside peak season. Book ahead for July and August to secure the best choice of vehicles in Glasgow.

Everything was as described by Giulio. He was very accommodating and ready for any question/doubt we had. It was our first experience with a motorhome and Giulio made sure we felt comfortable and safe trying his motorhome. Thank you Giulio and see you next time!

Abbiamo passato 6 giorni a Lanzarote con il van di Lorenzo e ci siamo trovati davvero benissimo. Il van ha tutto quello che serve, è comodo e organizzato molto bene. È stato il modo perfetto per girare l’isola. Lorenzo è stato super simpatico, disponibile e sempre pronto a darci una mano o qualche consiglio, sia prima della partenza che durante l’intero viaggio. Si vede che ci tiene davvero a far vivere una bella esperienza a chi noleggia il suo van. Se dovessimo tornare a Lanzarote, lo ricontatteremo senza alcun dubbio. Grazie mille Lorenzo! Alla prossima :)

We travelled through Portugal for two weeks with our family of five. The camper has everything you need, and the air conditioning was a huge plus during the summer. Marcelino always responded quickly and was very helpful whenever we had a question. We had a fantastic trip and highly recommend this camper!

Kevin was so helpful helping John and I embark on our first campervan journey with our dogs travelling the length of France in his lovely converted Boxer van we have all come to love as ''Olive''. The first trip of many our experience was overwhelmingly good. So many amazing places to stop at and amazing views from Blue Lakes , Vast Gorges and amazing views from High Mountain Passes, Olive got us there ! Then when we were all parked up she offered us such a lovely comfy place to spend the night. With mosquito nets and an ambient cooling system in the cab, we took some fans to cope with the ' above 40 degree at times, temperatures but the dogs and us were absolutely fine.. Olive's solar powered appliances really do work all day and through the night. Kevin was an amazing host - even though we 'lost ' his fuel tank cap! Don't ask us how! Id thoroughly recommend Olive to anyone . She is a lovely van and Kevin a great host.
