Car Hire gives you a freedom like no other to discover a range of spectacular locations all across Ireland. Whether you plan to explore the Giant's Causeway, learn the ?c'pla focail? in the Connemara Gaelteacht or discover ancient treasures in historic Dublin, you're guaranteed the best (and most memorable) Irish travel experiences with car hire. Although small in area, Ireland is a country that offers more than enough attractions to keep visitors occupied.



The island of Ireland or Emerald Isle as it is sometimes called is famous as being one of Europe's most green and scenic places. In Ireland, car hire touring possibilities are limitless. From the ancient and enigmatic Giant's Causeway and Newgrange to the lively modern metropolises of Dublin, Cork and Galway you'll find that drive opportunities abound.

Ireland has a temperate climate, which is cold and damp for much of the year. Summer is probably the best time to visit, when temperatures reach the pleasant mid-twenties. If visiting in the winter months, be sure to wrap up warm for freezing temperatures. A host of colourful festivals and fairs during the calendar year make Ireland a year round destination. One of the most vibrant festivals includes Galway Arts Festival in July, Puck Fair in August and of course, the annual St. Patrick's Festival in March.

Let your car hire experience in Ireland take you through a stunning landscape of lush valleys and glassy lakes in Co. Kerry, colourful fishing villages in Co. Cork and dramatic rocky cliffs off the west coast of Co. Clare. A hire car makes it easy to take advantage of all that the charming Irish countryside has to offer. Fishing in the lakes of Killarney, hiking in the Wicklow hills and golf in the world class K Club in Co. Kildare are activities guaranteed to be top of the to-do list of active outdoors types. A drive along the miles of unspoilt coastline is an adventure in itself. For the ultimate coastal drive, make sure to take in sights such as Co. Antrim's Giant's Causeway, Co. Clare's Cliffs of Moher and the Dingle Peninsula in Co. Kerry.

While travelling through Ireland by hire car, you'll always be met with a friendly c'ad m'le f'ilte (hundred thousand welcomes) from the locals. Ireland's hospitality is world famous. The restaurants of the capital serve up some of the best cuisine in Europe, not to mention legendary atmosphere and entertainment. The home of Guinness offers something to suit every budget and palate. Traditional low cost pub grub options include hearty, filling dishes such as Irish stew, roast beef dishes and pies. Fish and seafood are popular choices too. Make sure to try just caught Dublin Bay prawns and Galway oysters while in town.

Wherever your car hire Ireland experience takes you, you're guaranteed to find adventure and a warm Irish welcome. Renting a car in Ireland means you have access to an extensive choice of locations, giving you the freedom to explore all the hidden treasures that Ireland has to offer at your leisure!
