Have a safe car rental experience

The pleasure of driving in Ireland is that there are traffic-free roads and an easy driving style, this is due to the fact that in Ireland we abide by the rules of the road. In both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland seatbelts must be worn in both the front and rear of the car. Driving is on the left and drinking and driving laws are severe. The best advice is not to drink and drive under any circumstances. The rules of the road are strictly adhered to in both the Republic and Northern Ireland and there are no exceptions.
