Car Hire in Knock - Getting to Knock

Knock International Airport, eight miles from Knock, has limited flights from Dublin, London and Manchester. This is by far the most convenient option, though it would be advisable to book well in advance during peak holiday seasons. The other options are Dublin International Airport, a four-hour drive, or Shannon International Airport, a three-hour drive away.

There is an Iaranrod Eireann train service from Dublin to Claremorris, about six miles from Knock. Trains are infrequent though, and quite expensive.

Bus Eireann offers buses to and from Knock from all major towns and cities with numerous services every day from Galway. There are also private bus companies offering (sometimes cheaper) similar services.

Knock is located on the N17 road, midway between Galway and Sligo. It is about 45 miles from Galway and 140 miles from Dublin. Road distances in the west of Ireland can often be deceptive due to the winding nature of the roads but this is part of the unspoilt charm of the region!
