Irish Car Rentals
Car hire locations at Dublin, Shannon, Knock (Ireland West), Kerry (Farranfore) and Cork Airports. Irish Car Rentals also have car rental desks in Dublin City Centre, Dublin City North and in Limerick.
If you plan on touring around Ireland then car hire is a practical and cost effective option. Hiring a car gives your holiday independence and allows you to enjoy the sights, activities and beautiful landscapes that Ireland has to offer at your own pace and in your own leisure time.
Below are a few guidelines to follow if you are intending to hire a car:
- You must hold a valid driving licence
- Driving in Ireland is on the left and seat belts must be worn at all times in the front and the back of the vehicle
- Car seats must be used and babies should remain rear-facing until age 2 and their older siblings should use a booster seat until they’re at least 8.
- There are very strict laws on drinking and driving and those found to be contravening these laws will be heavily penalised
- In the Republic of Ireland, speed limits are 50kph/30mph in built-up urban areas; 80kph/50mph on single non-national open roads; 100kph/60mph on national roads; and 120kph on the motorway.
- In Northern Ireland, speed limits are 30mph/50kph in built-up urban areas; 60mph/96kph on single carriageways; 70mph/112kph on dual carriageways and motorways
