Driving around Ireland is probably the most enjoyable and rewarding way to see the entire country no matter how long you intend to stay. You can drive east to west in about 4 hours and North -South in about 5 hours, as the country is just 170 miles wide and 350 miles long.

The standard of our roads is generally good though there are very few motorways. Many National or "N" roads have been improved in recent years and this work continues as Ireland grows. Rural or "R' roads are also good, though out in the country they may not be as well maintaind. And they may be winding with blind curves. Other roads may often be little more than narrow laneways and of uneven surface.

All traffic in Ireland drives on the left and roundabouts go clockwise. If you have never driven on the left and are generally not a confident driver it will take you a few days to "acclimatize" to driving here. Please see our Driving in Ireland section for further information

There are a number of excellent car hire companies to choose from at all the major airports and cities. During the peak season all are very busy so it is wise to book well in advance, especially if you have a special need (Eg: Large vehicle, 4 Wheel Drive, Open top). To rent a car in Ireland, you will need a current, valid EU or American drivers license in addition to a Credit Card and usually your Passport for Identification.
