Why rent a car in Dublin?

Dublin is a great city to explore by car. Large and diverse, yet cozy at the same time, it offers everything from traditional Irish culture to many attractions that characterize a modern metropolis. The distances in Ireland are small and the roads are in good shape, so the capital city also serves as a great base for the exploration of the rest of the country.

Top ways to enter Dublin

  • Dublin Airport. By far the largest airport in Ireland and one of the fastest-growing in Europe, Dublin Airport serves more than 30 million travelers every year. The airport is located north of the city center.
  • Knock Airport. Located in County Mayo and also known as Ireland West Airport, the small Knock Airport is only served by four airlines. However, it offers a number of flights to the United Kingdom, Spain, Portugal, Germany, and Italy. The airport is about a two and a half hours drive northwest of Dublin.
  • Cork Airport. Serving Ireland’s second city, Cork Airport is also the second-busiest in the country. It serves not only Cork, but the rest of Southern Ireland and is about three hours drive from Dublin.
  • Belfast International Airport. Although located in the neighboring Northern Ireland and therefore a part of the United Kingdom, Belfast Airport is just a two hours drive north along the coast. This airport serves more than six million travelers every year.
  • Belfast City Airport. Another smaller airport serving the capital of Northern Ireland, Belfast City George Best Airport (named so after the famous football player) is served by five different airlines.

City facts

Dublin has a maritime climate with cool summers and mild winters. The average daily temperature in July, the warmest month, is around 16 °C  (60 °F),  while the average temperature in January and February is 5  °C  (40 °F). The sunniest months of the year in Dublin are May, June, and July.

Although only 555,000 people live within the city proper, more than 1.9 million people call the Greater Dublin region their home, meaning that nearly every second inhabitant of the Republic of Ireland lives in or around its capital city. 

Top destinations and activities

  • Phoenix Park. One of the largest urban parks in Europe and home to the Dublin Zoo, Phoenix Park is a great place for a day outdoors. A herd of wild fallow deer inhabit the park. If you’re not lucky enough to see any, you might catch a glimpse of the U.S. ambassador or the president of Ireland, both of whom have their residences inside the park.
  • Dublinia & The Viking World Museum. A heritage center, Dublinia is dedicated to the times when Scandinavian Vikings ruled Ireland. There are many interesting artifacts to observe, such as old weapons and national costumes, but the number one attraction of the place are the scenes of the Viking times reenacted by actors. You can even join one if you would like!
  • The National Museum of Ireland - Archaeology. The history of the human habitation of Ireland is older than the Vikings and the Celts. In this unique museum, you can learn about the hunter-gatherer tribes who settled the island just after the last Ice Age, see the golden collars and ritual objects of the Bronze Age, and learn about the very first Irish kings who ruled more than 2000 years ago. And yes, there are exhibitions about Vikings, too.
  • Christ Church Cathedral. Located in the western part of the city, the Christ Church Cathedral is, according to some sources, the oldest surviving building in Dublin. Built by the Viking king Sigtryg Silkbeard who ruled the area at the time, it was significantly renovated a number of times before achieving its present Gothic/Romanesque look. Of all the churches in Dublin, this one is perhaps the most impressive and certainly the most historic.

Traffic and parking

  • Driving takes place on the left side of the road in the Republic of Ireland.
  • Unless specifically indicated otherwise, the speed limits are 120 km/h (75 mph) for motorways, 100 km/h (62 mph) for national roads without motorway status, 80 km/h (50 mph) for local and regional roads, and 50 km/h (31 mph) for urban zones and built-up areas. Unlike in the neighboring Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom, the speed limits are indicated in kilometers, not miles, per hour.
  • Finding a parking spot in downtown Dublin can be quite difficult. Short-term paid parking is available, but be careful not to keep your car parked longer than allowed - your vehicle can be “clamped” by the companies in charge of the parking areas and “unclamping” it can be quite expensive. A better idea, perhaps, is to park for a longer term at one of the multi-level car parks. 
  • On the other hand, there are plenty of available parking spaces outside the center of Dublin. Dublin is not too large, so parking near downtown and walking the rest of the way can be a good idea.
  • Most road signs are displayed in both English and Irish. However, in some Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking) areas, the roads signs are only in Irish. This is important to keep in mind because some Irish city names are different than their English names - for example, the Irish name of Dublin is Baile Atha Cliath. 
  • The legal alcohol limit is 0.05% for experienced  drivers and 0.02% for novice drivers. Exceeding the limit can lead to large fines, an EU-wide licence ban, or imprisonment.
  • The proof of insurance and car registration needs to be in the car whenever you’re driving.
  • If you’re the driver, you need to have your passport or ID card with you at all times.
  • The emergency number, like elsewhere in the EU, is 112.

Toll roads

There are 11 toll roads in the Republic of Ireland. There are also two toll tunnels and two toll bridges. Some of the toll roads are near Dublin.

The payment for using any of the toll roads, bridges, or tunnels can be made with cash at the toll gate. The toll fees for some roads are payable with a credit card. Some rental cars are also equipped with an electronic toll tag that will make the toll payment automatically. Some car rental providers might charge an additional fee for this service. Ask your car rental provider about it in advance. 

For driving on the M50 road that is close to Dublin, you can only pay online. Your vehicle’s registration plate will be photographed when passing through the toll gate. The toll must be paid by 20:00 the following day.

For more information about the toll roads in the Republic of Ireland and for the toll road map, visit the Republic of Ireland’s official toll road website.  

Ideas for day trips

  • Dublin Falconry. Home to hawks, owls, falcons, and buzzards, Dublin Falconry is a conservation project for birds of prey native to the island. You have to book your visit in advance, but the experience is well worth the effort. The falconry is located in Luttrellstown, a small settlement that’s just 14 km (9 mi) from Dublin.
  • Howth. A small coastal town just northeast of Dublin, Howth is a great place for observing ships and fishermen, as well as for sampling the local seafood in one of its many restaurants. If you’re up for something more active, go on a walk along its impressive cliffs or drive to the nearby mountains that can be seen from almost anywhere in town. 
  • Ireland's Eye. Located near Howth where you can park your rental car, Ireland’s Eye is an uninhabited island that can be reached by tour boat. It is home to many unique bird species, including cormorants and a small number of puffins. If you’re lucky, you’ll also get to spot one of the grey seals that often come to rest on the coast. If you ever grow tired of the high tempo of Dublin, this island truly is the best place to unwind.
  • Swords. A northern suburb of Dublin, Swords is also a historic town with plenty to explore. Landmarks include the 13th-century Swords Castle; St. Colmcille’s Well that, according to legend, gave the town its name (‘sord’, which means ‘clear’ in Irish, is said to have referred to the waters of the well); and St. Columba’s Church. Swords is also home to two large parks, the Ward River Valley, and Newbridge Demesne. The trip from central Dublin takes only about 20 minutes.

Most popular cars

The most popular rental car in Dublin is the Ford Ka, although travelers also like the VW Up and the Renault Clio. The most popular rental car types are mini, economy, and compact.

Further destinations

  • Cork. The second-largest city of Ireland is a cozy place that can feel more authentic than Dublin. Known for its impressive fort and many churches, as well as for keeping many Irish traditions alive, it also serves as a great base for exploring the rest of Southern Ireland. Cork is about a three-hour drive south of Dublin.
  • Galway. As famous for its history and culture as it is for its friendly locals and fun nightlife, Galway leaves noone disappointed. 2020 is an especially great time for planning your trip there, as Galway will be the European Capital of Culture for the year. The city is about a two-and-a-half hours drive from Dublin with 210 km (130 mi) to cover.
  • Belfast. Located in the neighboring Northern Ireland, Belfast is quickly regaining its good name and becoming one of the most interesting cities in Europe. There’s already plenty of history, culture, and cuisine to enjoy there, and it is just a two hours drive north of Dublin. Do keep in mind, though, that you’ll be crossing a national border between the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom (of which Northern Ireland is a part), so make sure in advance that your rental car provider permits it.
  • Wicklow Mountains. A number of low, but very scenic mountains and a national park, Wicklow is the largest nature refuge near the capital. Inhabited since the Stone Age, the area is home to a number of ancient sites, the highlight of which is the 1,500-year-old Monastery of Glendalough. The national park, meanwhile, has a long network of hiking trails that take you over hills, along valleys, and past waterfalls and lakes. The mountains are about an hour’s drive south of Dublin.

What travel writers say

One thing that the Irish are known for is their beer, specifically Irish Stout. There’s no better place to learn about the history of beer than at the legendary Guinness Storehouse. The Guinness Storehouse is located in St. James Gate in Dublin. The storehouse is a museum that traces back the 250-year art of brewing the world-famous Guinness beer. The museum spans over seven floors of the Guinness brewery. The brewery and museum offer what is known as the Guinness Experience. It is a tour that explores the ingredients, history, and culture that make up Guinness’s story.

Start and end your trip in Dublin as flights are the cheapest and usually most convenient. Make sure to save time to see the city itself before you hit the road.

I’m a Polish-born citizen of the world. At 20, I embarked on a mission to see the world while building my career through studying and working abroad.
Dublin is a fun and friendly place to explore, even if you don’t drink, although it helps. That’s because many of the most iconic attractions in this capital for the Republic of Ireland relate to drinking in some way. There’s the Guinness Storehouse Factory where you can learn about the famous beer and The Temple Bar, an incredibly popular Irish pub. But there are other non-alcoholic things to see, from the stunning Trinity College Library to the impressive Dublin Castle and the sombre Kilmainham Gaol.

Ireland is beautiful country. The scenery is amazing whenever you go, thought we went down to South-East. We stopped in Kilkenny to visit Truffles restaurant where we had a fantastic experience. The food was delicious and the hospitality overall was excellent. Another gem that we discovered in Kilkenny was Petronella restaurant which also serves tasty food. We hiked in Comeragh mountains every day and would recommend spending time in Dungarvan or Clonmel as the nature around is beautiful.

We did a family trip to Ireland. Amazing to see the history as well as meet the people. They are very nice and had great conversations everywhere. We saw everything from Hill of Tara and Newgrange to Trim Castle and Temple Bar. We highly recommend Kylemore Abbey. Best gardens in our opinion. We stayed in various locations for about 2 nights each. We attempted to see too much. Limit the moving around and stay in fewer places for longer was the lesson we learned.

Most of the cars in Ireland are manual transmissions, and they drive on the left. I would advise Americans (even if you're sufficient with manual transmissions) to rent an automatic transmission. It takes more focus than you'd think to drive on the other side of the road (at least at first, you get used to it fairly quickly) and adding shifting gears with your left hand plus narrow roads (on smaller streets, the highways are great) is a bit stressful. Just my two cents and feedback to my fellow right-side drivers.

The roads (especially back roads) are narrow and windy. It was very stressful to drive a large car and I was not the one driving. That said, we saw amazing things that we would not have if we had not driven and with four of us plus luggage, the car we had was very comfortable. I would not recommend driving in Ireland unless your driver is very confident and experienced.

Dublin is not car friendly, and even parking outside your accommodation can be difficult/expensive. But, for a family or group intending to also visit the surrounding area a hire car is economically attractive and provides enormous flexibility.

As public transport in Dublin is very lame - very often commuting via car is the only option unless somebody has half a day to spare trying to get somewhere on a public transport.

Would recommend hiring a car if you wish to visit various locations outside the city & in the countryside. If you have free parking included, it is definitely worth while. Would recommend Powercourt Gardens, a beautiful place outside Dublin. Drive around the coast even when cold but dry. It is beautiful. All worth a visit.

Dublin is a great place with great people! Love it and will definitely enjoy to come back again! Renting a car from Terminal 1, however is not the best. Certainly there is a room for improvement. For the car rental we were picked from the terminal with a bus to the car pickup location and there we waited for more than an hour to reach the agent at the desk to go through paper formalities. Overall it took us about 2 hours until we got the car key.

Loved having a car! We staying an in awesome hotel (carton house) about 30 mins from the city. Drove to Dublin and saw Guinness factory, st Stephens green, shopping and pubs. There are plenty of parking garages throughout the city. The next day we drove through the country to the cliffs of Moher and had a great time seeing the county!

Traffic can be bad in the city centre so try and avoid peak times between 5 & 6PM Jervis Street car park is excellent and so central for the North & South side of the inner city & is only Euro3/hour with a maximum daily rate of euro 13 which is excellent value

Check everything on the car before setting off....including the refuelling mechanism and that the satnav works if using one (previously had a dead power socket for satnav and had to change cars).

Only issue I had was the deposit asked for in the beginning and the choice of paying up front for gas. I saved 30 e not opting for that choice.
