Going to a concert at the OVO Hydro? Here is where cars can drop you off and collect you, how long you can stay, and how a chauffeur pickup after the show works. Written by Constantine Chauffeurs, a Glasgow chauffeur service.
The short version: the official drop-off and pick-up zone is at the west of the SEC Centre (the old SECC), reached from Stobcross Road. It is free, opens an hour before doors, and is a three-minute covered walk to the OVO Hydro.
Arrive early. The roads around the SEC get busy in the hour before doors open. Leaving a little earlier means a calmer drop-off and time to find your seats.
Expect a short wait after a big show. When the arena empties, everyone leaves at once. Booking a return in advance means your car is already planned for — you are not competing for a taxi at the rank.
Bring your phone charged. Your pickup is arranged by WhatsApp, so keep enough battery for the end of the night.
Taxi: there is a Glasgow Taxis rank outside the SEC Armadillo, next to the OVO Hydro. Driving yourself: the multi-storey car park at 10 Stobcross Road, G3 8GS, is 128 metres from the OVO Hydro south entrance, with a 2-metre height limit; you pay before you exit. Check the OVO Hydro getting-here pages for the latest information before your event.
We quote a return from your address to the OVO Hydro, or book the car by the hour from £70 on hourly hire. Your price is confirmed when you book. See concert chauffeurs and all prices.
Good service and good price. Needed a car quick from Trump Turnberry to Glasgow Airport and these guys came thru for me. Great V-Class. Will use again if I’m in the area.Read on Tripadvisor →
Pickup was easy. They sent a tracking link to my phone, which took the guesswork out of it. I didn’t need to phone anyone or stand outside waiting. The car was clean and the driver was pleasant and friendly throughout the journey.
The car is amazing and the whole experience was amazing. I didn’t catch the driver’s name but he was brilliant. Thank you very much.Read on Tripadvisor →
Within 90 minutes they had organized an entire itinerary, arranged a luxurious vehicle and an excellent driver, John. That level of responsiveness and service was impressive.
A luxurious service from start to finish. An assortment of entertainment & refreshments giving that extra touch.
Very grateful — an excellent service, I recommend it. Reliable, punctual, friendly, great service. (Translated from Spanish)
John thoughtfully stopped at scenic locations so we could photograph the Highlands’ extraordinary beauty rather than simply admire it through the windows.
Came across this company by chance. Booked them for a return journey to Murrayfield Stadium for a concert.
Booked my airport pickup over WhatsApp while I was still out in Thailand, which made the whole thing dead easy.
My friends were having a small wedding in the city centre — I wanted to buy the transport as a gift.
It felt like a genuinely personalized Highland adventure rather than a conventional sightseeing tour. An absolutely memorable day and five stars without hesitation!
A fantastic transfer experience. Our flight arrived later than scheduled but our driver kept everything organised.
After a long flight it was such a relief to have these guys pick me up to save the hassle. Can't recommend them enough.
Constantine Chauffeurs picked me up after a long flight and honestly couldn't have asked for better.
