We at SIXT would like to help you explore, with the help of the vehicle most suited to your needs. We have a vast fleet of new, up to date vehicles of varying sizes and classes that answer any budget. If you are staying in town, an economy

might be the ideal choice, but if you want to venture out of Dublin with the family you could choose a premium SUV.

Our well-situated pick-up and drop-off points mean you have options as to where to start and finish your trip. You could collect your car from

, for instance, and return it to
Dublin St Stephen’s Green
in the centre of the city.

Where To Find Us in Dublin: Our Locations

Our customers arrive in a variety of ways – and from a variety of places. To make your Dublin car hire as smooth as possible, we operate several spots around the city. That way, you can pick up and drop off your Dublin car hire wherever suits your itinerary – whether you’re heading west to see the Cliffs of Moher and spend a night or two in

or south to fascinating
Cork
and it's beautiful surrounds.

Flying in? Book your pick up at

. But, if you’re staying downtown, come see us at
Dublin City Centre
in Q Park on Marlborough Street.

We’re also at Dublin St Stephens Green/Conrad, just south of the River Liffey, and

, which is the gateway to Ireland’s pretty east coast.

What To Do While in Dublin

Having picked up your Dublin car hire, take time to explore some of the city’s attractions, such as St Patrick’s Cathedral and Christ Church, before heading outside to take in the natural beauty around Dublin.

We recommend a trip to the Wicklow Mountains National Park, just under an hour’s drive from Dublin, where you can go hill walking, while taking in the striking scenery of lakes and hills.

Summer 2024 in Dublin

Although the weather is unpredictable, summer in Dublin can be beautiful when the sun shines and your car hire will be very useful, especially if you are a keen golfer.

Use your Dublin car hire to take you to any number of golf courses within an hour of Dublin, such as Deer Park or Howth Golf Club.

We recommend taking a trip to the beach, too – drive out to Loughshinney Beach, just under half an hour away from the city or drive to the Howth Peninsula for some spectacular walks along the cliffs.

Day Trips From Dublin

From lush green countryside to villages that make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time, Dublin is surrounded by spots that make for great day trips. With your Dublin car rental, you can see them all, while travelling in comfort.

If you’re a music lover, then take your Dublin car rental to Ireland’s music capital: Galway on the west coast. Here, you’ll find live music everywhere – from buskers in the streets to rowdy pubs hosting Irish sessions. Got a spare night or two? Consider heading to the Aran Islands.

To discover Ireland’s mediaeval history, make tracks for Kilkenny. This magical town, known as the ‘Marble City’, is home to a 12th century castle, cobbled lanes where you can wander for hours and a colourful arts scene.

Shimmering lakes and beautiful walks are on the itinerary at Wicklow, the ‘Garden of Island’. It’s just a 55-minute spin from the city in your Dublin car rental, leaving you loads of time to explore.

Another spot with incredible scenery is The Mournes in County Down. Spend your day exploring the enchanting Tollymore Forest Park, or commit to a longer walk, such as the 11-kilometre loop that takes in the summit of Slieve Binnian, as well as views of Silent Valley and Ben Crom Reservoirs.

For one of the most magnificent gardens in Ireland, go to Powerscourt Estate. On this 47-acre property, you can also visit the country’s highest waterfall and visit a Palladian mansion.

Road Tripping Around Ireland

Many of Ireland’s most special spots are hard to reach without a vehicle. But, with a Dublin car rental, you can get to them easily – whether you want to visit tucked-away villages or explore incredible natural beauty (or do a bit of both).

If you’ve three or four days on your hands, make tracks to Killarney in the southwest. From here, you can complete one of Ireland’s most famous road trips: the Ring of Kerry. The 179-kilometre loop travels through mountains and along the coast, taking in views of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Michael Island and the sparkling lakes of Killarney National Park.

Planning a much longer trip? Three weeks or so gives you time to drive the Wild Atlantic Way. It follows Ireland’s west coast for around 2,500 kilometres – from Kinsale in County Cork in the south to the Inishowen Peninsula in the north. The drive is a feast of natural wonders, gorgeous beaches, stunning countryside, castles, mansions and lighthouses.

Another unforgettable road trip by the sea is the Causeway Coastal Route, which runs along the northeast coast between Derry and

in
Northern Ireland
. Highlights of this 209-kilometre journey include the Old Bushmills Distillery, the Giants Causeway and Glenarm Castle, built in the 14th century.

Can You Drive From Dublin to Continental Europe?

If you want to see Europe, but don’t want the hassle of travelling by air, take your Dublin car rental with you. There’s a variety of ways to get from Ireland to Continental Europe.

Heading to

? Catch the car ferry from Dublin to Cherbourg – or, to see some of the UK on the way, take the car ferry to Holyhead in Wales, then drive all the way to
Paris
, via the Eurotunnel. Meanwhile, for those with
Spain
on the itinerary, there are car ferries from Rosslare (in Ireland’s south) to Bilbao and Santander.

Once you’re in Europe, you’ll be spoilt for choice, as far as road trips go. In Spain, you might travel along the northwest coast, stopping by fishing villages and empty beaches. In France, consider driving south to

, staying in Laval,
Nantes
and Puy du Fou on the way.

Wherever you go, you can count on your SIXT Dublin car hire to get you there. We have centres all over Europe, to make your journey as convenient as possible.
