Knock Airport Guide

Car Hire

Knock Airport, now known as Ireland West Airport Knock, is located a mere three miles southwest of Charlestown, in County Mayo. Also known as Aerfort Larthar Éireann in Irish, the airport is situated near to the popular tourist village of Knock. The close proximity of the airport to a main road means it is easy to self-drive to surrounding areas. Hiring a vehicle allows customers to reach their destination with ease and take in the stunning countryside that Ireland is famous for.

Who to Book With
There are four car rental companies located in Knock Airport. International companies Hertz, Europcar, Avis and Budget all offer a wide variety of vehicles. It is possible to book in advance, but cars can also be rented on the day. Vehicles can be picked up directly outside of the terminal.

Need to Know Essentials
For those who have pre-booked a vehicle, the following documentation will need to be presented on pick up:

- A valid driver’s licence (both parts)
- A valid passport
- The credit card used to book the vehicle
- A booking confirmation email or reference number
- Proof of address, such as a phone bill

For more info read our FAQ's.

Driving
Driving in Ireland is not that different to driving in England. The same road rules apply, although speed and distance signs are in kilometres. There are strict on-the-spot fines for anyone caught driving over the speed limit. The drink-driving limit is the same as in England (0.08 per cent) and the penalties for those caught over the limit are severe. All passengers must wear a seatbelt at all times. Motorways are well maintained, although some country roads are worn. It is advisable to use either sat nav or a road map as not all of the roads are signposted adequately.

See our guide to the Republic of Ireland for more information on driving here.

Transport

As there is no train station at the airport―with the nearest one at Claremorris, around 15 miles away―passengers who opt not to self-drive have a choice of buses or taxis. Buses run to the surrounding areas until around 23:00. After this time, taxis are the only option.

Taxis
There are taxis which are specifically licensed by Knock Airport, including Ireland West Cabs and John Henry Cabs. They can be found outside the main entrance or they can be pre-booked via the airport website. There is also the option of a limousine service for those wanting to arrive at their destination in style.

Taxi prices:
Knock Airport to Charlestown is about £10
Knock Airport to Ballina is about £30
Knock Airport to Galway is about £80
Knock Airport to Dublin is about £200

Buses
The national bus company Bus Eireann has daily coach services from the airport to surrounding areas such as Galway, Sligo, Donegal and Mayo. Services run frequently six days a week (no Sunday service). Prices vary according to destination and tickets can be purchased onboard.

Facilities

Terminals
Knock Airport’s location means it has become the main gateway for passengers heading to the west, northwest and midland regions of the country. This has lead to rapid development and an increase in flights throughout the year. It has now become the country’s fourth busiest international airport. EasyJet and Thomas Cook both have regular scheduled flights to Knock Airport.

Parking
There is a huge amount of parking available for passengers wishing to leave their vehicle at the airport. Recently, paying for parking at the airport barrier using a credit card has been made possible: this has reduced queues at the pay station. Parking for 15 minutes is free, with prices ranging from £1.50 for one hour to £400 for one year thereafter. All car parks close at 18:30.

Wi-Fi
There is Wi-Fi available free of charge. There are also a number of coin-operated computers with internet.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver.

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).
