I don't often hire cars in the UK, but $300 for a Golf (or similar) for 2 weeks 
sounds way too cheap.  So, double that might be about right.

I looked at rentalcars.com, for hire from Glasgow Prestwick a Vauxhall Corsa 
would cost around GBP290 for 2 weeks; but I couldn't find out if the extra 
insurance (GBP5.75 per day) covered windscreens, tyres etc . . . – that 
exclusion is a new one on me).

A hire car in the UK is certainly pricey.
