20 Aug - 27 AugDriving your car hire in Ireland will give you a chance to explore this ancient country's coastlines, charming villages and lush green mountains with freedom and independence. Being a left-side driving country, UK residents will feel at home in their rental cars, and with good roads, you will find cheap rental cars ranging from compact economy to 4x4. If you choose to go on more rural roads with your car hire in Ireland, be aware that you may encounter more farm life on the roads than expected. Cows and sheep may be your pedestrians, and keeping it slow is the best solution. Pay attention and stick to speed limits on urban roads, on open roads, on national roads and on motorways to avoid a camera fine. The local traffic police, the Gardaí, can fine you for driving while speaking on the phone or if you don't have an appropriate seat for your child. Not wearing seat belts also results in a fine. When you rent a car in Ireland, you will find many roundabouts in the towns and cities. For the most part, car rental in Ireland is much the same as in the UK in terms of traffic laws and sticking to the rules of the road will keep you from getting fined on your road trip.
If you are looking for car hire in Ireland and are already a British citizen, you will not need an International Driving Permit (IDP). Members of the EU will need to provide an EU drivers license, and other foreign tourists will need to provide their car rental companies with an IDP. You will also need to provide photo ID such as a passport and your credit card. Depending on which company you choose your rental car from, you may also need to show proof of residence, so check the requirements if you are unsure.
Of Ireland's main cities, Dublin and Cork, have the country's most congested streets and motorways. When you collect your car hire in Ireland, we recommend a Sat Nav, which can help you avoid congested areas. The M50 motorway is Dublin’s busiest road by far, with commuting traffic favouring this route to get to the city. The N4 around Liffey Valley and the Quays roads are also notoriously busy streets around rush hour. In Cork, there are several sections of the N40 around the South Ring Road that have bad traffic at most times of the day, as well as the M8, R623, Merchants Quay and Wilton Road.
Ireland is a road-trippers delight. Good rental car comparison can help you determine the best vehicle for your planned trip through either the coastlines or the mountains - or both. The Ring Of Kerry is a famous drive with views of the Atlantic Ocean, quiet mountain-based villages and wonderful stops along the way. It runs in a loop to and from Killarney. Another popular coastal drive is the Wild Atlantic Way which traverses miles of coastline and includes roughly eight Irish counties. Shorter drives include the Sheep’s Head Peninsula drive, a short road meandering through coastal towns. It is a great trip to stop and start with your car hire in Ireland and enjoy the scenery on the way without the pressure of covering distance. Rental cars in Ireland are truly the best way to enjoy this unique, breath-taking landscape. The Boyne Valley drive is great for history fanatics as you can see sites and ruins that go back thousands of years.
