Airport Car Rental

The capital of the Republic of Ireland, Dublin is both the most international place in the country and the epitome of Irishness. Whether you’re looking for museums, history, nightlife, or easy access to Ireland’s beautiful nature, Dublin has it all. These are three of the most interesting attractions in and around it:

  • EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum. A modern and popular institution that was recognized by the World Travel Awards as recently as 2020, the interactive Emigration Museum covers everything from groups that arrived in Ireland 1,500 years ago to the Irish Famine and subsequent exodus to North America of a large percentage of the population. Visit the museum’s official website to learn more about different exhibitions and admission. 
  • National Maritime Museum. Appropriately located in the former Mariners’ Church which was built for Irish seafarers in 1837, this one is another of the Irish capital's really fascinating museums. There are a number of interesting artifacts and exhibits on display, as well as models of famous Irish ships like the RMS Leinster. The museum is in the suburb town of Dún Laoghaire and can be reached by car from the city center in about 35 minutes.
  • Wicklow Mountains National Park. One of the six national parks of the Republic of Ireland, this popular day trip is about an hour’s drive south of Dublin. Attractions include both the network of hiking trails that snake through an impressive landscape of highlands, forests, valleys, and wetlands and the valley of Glendalough which is home to a 6th-century monastic complex.
  • The Guinness Storehouse. Located at St. James Gate Brewery, this popular tourist attraction celebrates the history of the famous beer company, Guinness. Since its opening in the year 2000, it has received over 20 million visitors. Travel through seven floors to learn about beer production and its famous advertising through the ages and enjoy a pint of Guinness when you reach the top floor. The bar offers 360-degree panoramic views of Dublin, and it’s the perfect place to savor a pint.

Wild Atlantic Way is an amazing drive. If going to the the cliffs of Moher in county Clare don't go in the main entrance walk from Doolin to liscannor about 18K walk along the epic cliff walk coast and you don't have to pay to get into cliffs of Moher because you will be walking past it.

Ireland was wonderful. It was a lot of fun to drive around the island and visit different places. I recommend spending at least a few days in Killarney. The Bru na Boinne region near Drogheda with the Neolithic tombs of Knowth, Dowth and Newgrange is a must-see. Make a stop at the Rock of Cashel between Dublin and Killarney.

Choose a rental company who has a desk at the airport terminal in order to avoid delays collecting your car. You don't want to be left wandering around the bus terminal in Dublin on a cold and windy morning as had happened to us.

Just be careful if you have to re-fuel, especially if you're not familiar with the local Dublin Airport road network area, as the nearest petrol station is not easy to find and then to get back to the car hire location when returning your vehicle.

I thought that Dublin was going to be just a nightmare to navigate around. At first, it was unnerving, as the streets in Dublin are usually bumper-to-bumper traffic. Also, another thing to note is that the street signs are right at the intersection. Also, the highways are all narrower; there's only room for exactly one car per lane, with no room for error. it's a different highway system than it is in the U.S. That isn't to say that the streets are impossible to master as a foreigner. Once you get used to it, driving around Ireland can be both challenging and fun. But it is not recommended for beginner drivers, as the native drivers aren't always considerate of inexperienced drivers (particularly within Dublin).

I live local to Dublin Airport and wanted the car for a trip to Galway. Budget in Dublin North is adjacent to the Airport, so for visitors there is a free Airport DAA bus to the Car rental pickup location. Budget in Galway - guys nice, office on Eyre Square (central) and Car pickup location about 300 yards away. Good experiences both times I have used them in Ireland
