When you are traveling to the Republic of Ireland from another country, you will probably be coming in by air, which is really the best choice.  However, that leaves you without a way to get around, so what do you do?  Do you take the bus, use a taxi, or get around by train?  Well really, the best way is to book a car rental with a sat nav kit so that you can do your own thing and explore the country.

So, where can you hire a car, you ask?  Well, this is really simple, because as soon as you get off your plane and claim your bags, you can head on over to a car hire desk to rent a car, or you could also book your car rental ahead of time.  However, in order to do this you have to make sure that you are flying into one of the major airports, because some of the regional ones don’t have counters for this kind of thing.

When you rent your vehicle, also make sure that you ask them for a car with a sat nav kit, because that is what is going to navigate you around.  This piece of equipment is going to tell you how far you need to go before your next turn by talking to you.  Also, sat nav systems keep their software up-to-date so that if there are any new roads constructed, you won’t get lost.

There are a few other things that you that you will need to remember as well.  If you are going to drive in the Republic of Ireland, you have to have a full license from your home country, as well as had a minimum of 2 years experience driving.  Also, it is advised that you tell the car hire company where you rent your vehicle if you will be driving in Northern Ireland.
