Car rental in Dublin

Dublin is not only steeped in fascinating history and stunning architecture, but is rightly world-famous for its energy, culture and nightlife.

Before using your car rental to explore Ireland's outstanding countryside, we suggest visiting some of Dublin's many attractions on foot. This is easily done, since Ireland's National Museum, National Gallery, Dublin Castle and Trinity College Library are all within easy walking distance of each other.

Car rental comes into its own when you want to see the countryside and coastline outside Dublin. Just nine miles away is Howth Peninsula, with stunning sea views and a fantastic cliff-top walk which, in August and September, is covered in red heather.

Car rental is also needed to visit Bull Island, an enormous municipal park and nature reserve in Dublin Bay that is home to many different species of bird and mammal.

Alternatively, take a car rental trip north, to the banks of the River Boyne, and explore Ireland's most important archaeological site. The Bru na Boinne is a complex of Neolithic chamber tombs, and is now designated a UNESCO World Heritage site.

To the south, County Wicklow is known as 'the Garden of Ireland' and car rental travellers can appreciate the spectacular gardens at Powerscourt, the Japanese Gardens at Kildare and even the tension and drama of horse-racing at Curragh.

Finally, use car rental to travel even further: Belfast is another thriving city just a few hours to the north, full of history and perfect for an overnight visit. Please advise at time of booking if you are planning on driving your car rental over the border into Northern Ireland.
