Travel Note

Car Rentals

If you are interested in renting a car for your stay in Ireland, I highly recommend reading the attached article beforehand. Please note that in Ireland they do drive on the opposite side of the car AND on the opposite side of the road than we are used to. Most cars in Ireland are operated by a manual gear shift. All car hire companies will have a limited range of automatics available for hire in all car sizes. If you are interested in hiring an automatic car, the best advice is to book early to ensure availability and call ahead to make sure your booking is filled. There have been occasions when tourists book an Automatic and find a manual version at the curb (due to the scarcity of same). Automatics are significantly more expensive to rent than manual cars. If you are not comfortable driving under these conditions, please make other transportation arrangements for your stay.
