Dubliners drive on the left-hand side of the road, just like in the UK, so you've already got advantage there no driving rule changes to get used to! However, be aware that distances and speed limits are given in kilometres per hour, not miles per hour as you might be accustomed to. The standard speed limits are 80 km/h on regional roads and 120 km/h on motorways. City speed limit is generally 50 km/h unless otherwise indicated.

Choosing the Right Car for Dublin

If you're going to stick to city driving, a compact car is your best bet. It will be easier to handle and park in the city. For explorations beyond the city, consider an SUV to handle the country's rural roads comfortably.

Parking in Dublin

Parking in Dublin city centre can be difficult during peak times, but several multi-storey car parks and street parking are available. Note that free parking in Dublin is scarce and most require payment from Monday to Saturday, with free parking on Sundays and bank holidays.

Key Attractions and Neighbourhoods

  • Temple Bar: Known for its lively nightlife, it's a must-visit.
  • Trinity College: The ornate library is a bibliophile’s dream.
  • The Guinness Storehouse: Learn about Dublin's most famous export.
  • Phoenix Park: A large urban park and home to Dublin Zoo.

Exploring Surroundings

Once you've explored everything Dublin has to offer, why not venture out to cities like Limerick or Galway, or the beautiful landscapes of Wicklow Mountains. With a rental car, the possibilities are endless!

The People, Culture and Events

Irish people are renowned for their friendliness and Dublin is no different. With an array of seasonal festivals such as St. Patrick's Day Parade in March, Dublin Fringe Festival in September, there's always something happening to immerse in local culture. Don’t forget to enjoy a pint of Guinness!

Airport and Transportation

Dublin International Airport is your most likely point of entry into the city. Car rental services are available here making it easy for you to start your journey.

Climate Considerations

Just like the UK, Dublin has a temperate maritime climate with mild winters and cool summers. Always pack a jumper and don’t forget an umbrella!

Currency

Unlike the UK, Ireland uses the Euro as its currency. Most shops and restaurants accept credit and debit cards, but it's worth having some cash on hand, especially for smaller purchases.
