Hiring a car in Livingston
Once a small Scottish mining village, today Livingston is the biggest town in West Lothian. Indeed, there are enough shops, bars, restaurants and attractions here to keep you busy for a weekend break.
To get around with ease, hire a car from the town centre and check out local sights like the Almond Valley Heritage Centre, the Eliburn Reservoir, Howden Park Centre and Deer Park Golf and Country Club. The rest of Scotland is also yours for the taking. Hop on the M8 and you can be in Glasgow or Edinburgh in around 40 minutes on a light traffic day.

Driving in Livingston
Driving in Livingston is straightforward, with the usual mix of residential roads, major byways, bus lanes and pedestrian zones to navigate. Compared to Glasgow or Edinburgh, the roads here are much calmer.
However, Livingston’s main roads and M8 junctions can get congested around the morning and evening rush hour. There may also be queues around The Centre Livingston shopping mall on the weekends.
Parking is readily available throughout the city. The Centre Livingston car parks 1, 2 and 3 are good options for long and short stays. There is also parking at Livingston train station.
If you’re using Livingston as a base to explore Scotland, it’s easy to pick up the M8 towards the surrounding cities. The M8 will also take you part of the way to Arran, Islay, Mull and the islands of the west.
A mini (think Citroen C1, Volkswagen Up!) or compact (such as a Ford Focus, Toyota Corolla) hire car from Livingston is perfect for exploring local sights. If you’re planning longer road trips, an SUV or saloon will be a more comfortable option.
