By Car: Driving in Ireland is by far the best option to explore the Island, with all those amazing landscapes and the flexibility that a car can offer. All the major rental companies can be found in Ireland, in addition to some local / cheaper companies like Dan Dooley, Irish Car Rentals and CARHIRE.ie.
