Airport Car Rental
Knock might be one of the smallest places in the world to have an international airport named after it — according to the latest census, the village in County Mayo has 972 inhabitants. While it doesn’t take long to see everything that this cozy little place has to offer, it can also serve as a starting point from which you can explore the rest of western Ireland. Scenic and culturally unique, these are three of the region’s most interesting attractions:
- County Mayo. If you’re arriving in Ireland via Knock Airport, you can’t do much better than explore the region in which you’ve landed. From the Museum of Country Life in Castlebar to the hauntingly beautiful Achill Island, Celtic heritage to a good stretch of the Wild Atlantic Drive (often called one of the most scenic drives in Europe), it has plenty to keep you entertained.
- Galway. A port city, Galway is known for its active student life, busy cultural scene, colorful architecture, and long, proud history. Galway is also one of the hubs of Irish Gaelic culture (even Galway Cathedral holds mass in both English and Irish). From old castles to great museums and a scenic promenade, the city is a joy to explore.
- Strandhill. It comes as a surprise to many travelers that Ireland is also a surfing destination! One of the country’s hubs is the coastal village of Strandhill in County Sligo, less than an hour’s drive from Knock Airport. Yes, the water can be cold and the waves powerful, but the magnificent, austere landscapes make this an experience of a lifetime.

Knock is a good airport, it’s easy to navigate and usually fast to get through. The car hire options are usually good, but the cost is more expensive than other airports. The €10 fee to leave the airport is annoying. It’s a ‘suggested’ fee which is actually compulsory.
