Are you planning a trip to Ireland? You will absolutely love it! It is one of the most beautiful countries. Its luscious green hills and beautiful countryside are straight out of fairy tales. When I was considering renting a car in Ireland, I had many questions about safety and logistics: 1. Is driving in Ireland safe? 2. How do I navigate? 3. Shou...
Rent an automatic well ahead of time.Even if you are comfortable driving a manual, spend that extra money! Dodging sheep and trucks while navigating on huge hills without shoulders is too much to d...Rent from a reputable company (also called "car hire").I rented from Europcar at Dublin airport (Terminal 2). They were great!Purchase the expensive most comprehensive insurance.You will see many cars with scrapes across the side. Don't chance it and spend that extra money.Rent a GPS device.This is a must! Also be sure to activate the GPS voice instructions. I used a TomTom GPS system when I was traveling.I could not recommend this any more strongly: rent an automatic, spend the extra money, and do this months in advance. No matter how comfortable you are driving stick, you will thank me later. There is just too much new stuff to manage to go with a stick (hills, huge buses, no shoulders, roundabouts, livestock, navigation, passing).
Find your destination in Google maps.Right-click the red marker.Select "What's here."GPS coordinates post at the bottom off the page.Paying tolls can seem intimidating, but it's really not. You have probably already heard of the M50 and all that crazy stuff. It's really not that complicated. Here's what I recommend. I arrived in Dublin with some emergency money. I had exchanged US dollars for 40 euros (dealt in 10s) just to keep on me in case I needed it—I got change at the airp...
This was actually super easy for me. I believe you have something like 24 hours to pay the M50 toll. It simply takes a picture of your plates. I read about there being booths at gas stations, but I simply went online to eflow.ie and clicked "pay a toll." You enter your car's ID (plates or rental ID on the car keychain) and add your credit card. Ent...
I definitely wanted to check out Belfast in Northern Ireland. You may have heard about the history of Northern Ireland, and it would certainly be wise to do some research and reading about the history of the conflict so that you can be educated and understand not only the people, but the intense emotions surrounding the topic. Primarily, this ongoi...
Most importantly, you should verify that your car takes gas "petrol" and remember that at every gas station this is indicated by green. Diesel is in black! Do not mix this up! Also, you fill up before you pay. So simply fill up your tank, walk to the register, and tell them which pump you were on.
No joke, when I picked up my car (you will be driving on the passenger's side AND driving on the left side of the road), I freaked. I had watched several videos beforehand, and one help tip was to adjust the mirrors. I adjust my left mirror to angle downwards so I could see how close I was so the left wall/barriers. IT WILL FEEL WEIRD! There's no w...
Roundabouts
There aren't stop signs but there are roundabouts. I actually much prefer roundabouts over stop signs now! Here's what I learned about roundabouts. 1. If you need to exit immediately, stay left (think of it as staying in the lane closest to the exit). Use your blinker, too. 2. If you need to exit the 2nd or 3rd exit in the roundabout, sometimes it's no problem because it's a double lane, stay right. Use your blinker and check over your left shoulder when exiting. 3. If you are lost, go around...
The Center Divide Is Not Yellow
The center divid is a white checked line. This can be confusing, but most roads have one lane of traffic either way, so pretty obvious.
Traffic Lights
Instead of traffic lights going from green to yellow to red, the lights go from red, to yellow, too green. So you will see the yellow light right before you hit green again.

Yes, you can take a car into Northern Ireland but you'd need to check with the car hire company. Some companies have an additional charge. Further to your previous post about Carrickarede Rope Bridge, I don't think its open in March, it closes for the winter and reopens in May.
