Why hire a car at Dublin airport?
There's never a dull moment in Dublin. With so much to see and do in a city that boasts some of Ireland's most famous landmarks - St Stephen's Green, Trinity College and the Guinness Storehouse, to name just three - you'll want to make sure you don't miss a thing. Car hire at Dublin airport is a cost-effective and convenient way to get about the vibrant city, and it's also handy if you feel like enjoying the natural splendour of the nearby Wicklow Mountains.
That all-important first mile:
driving out of Dublin airport?
Dublin airport is conveniently situated eight miles north of Dublin city centre. If you're heading for the bustling capital, take the M1 and follow signs for the city centre. Make sure you've got some change with you when driving in the city for the parking meters, and if you're using the M50 ring road there are tolls payable.
Dublin airport Q&A
Where are the car hire desks?
You'll find car hire desks in the arrivals hall of the main terminal. They're open between 6am and 11pm, so there's plenty of time to pick up your keys.
What should I buy at duty free?
If you've become accustomed to washing your dinner down with a pint of Dublin's famous black stuff, why not take a bottle (or two) home with you? You won't have to look too hard to find a shop selling Guinness at the airport.
Are there any cashpoints?
Yes, there are cashpoints before and after security. If you need to convert sterling into euro, there are several bureaux de change - located in the arrivals hall, departures lounge and at baggage reclaim.
Where's the best place to eat?
Whether you want a coffee or a juice, a Big Mac or a healthy salad, there's plenty of choice on offer at Dublin airport. For something a little more substantial, tickle your taste buds at the Brasserie with Dublin Bay seafood chowder, or dine at the Caviar House & Prunier Seafood Bar to really spoil yourself.
The secret tip
Head to the airport in time to do some last-minute shopping. Once you get through check-in and security, The Loop's stores and cafés are bound to keep you busy until it's time to board your flight.

Belfast

Just under two hours from Dublin airport is the up-and-coming hub that is Belfast. The legendary ship Titanic was built in Northern Ireland's capital, but it's not just history buffs that will find the city alluring. With luxury waterside developments, city-centre shopping malls and modern art galleries, Belfast ranks among the most chic cities in the UK.
Wicklow Mountains National Park

If you need a break from the hustle and bustle of city life, take a short journey south of Dublin to the stunning mountainous terrain of Wicklow.

If you fancy a flutter, or just feel like soaking up the lively atmosphere of a day at the races, make for Kildare. The county is home to three racecourses - Curragh, Punchestown and Naas - and its stud farms are famous for breeding some of the finest horses in the world.
