By Heather Reid
Ireland is a small country that is perfect for discovering in one of our cheap car rentals. There are so many great routes that take you through some breathtaking Irish scenery, so get yourself a good map and away you go. Most overseas visitors will arrive in Dublin, the capital city on Ireland’s west coast. You don’t really need a car in Dublin itself, but it is a great base for exploring other areas, and you can collect your car on arrival at Dublin Airport (DUB) or from locations across the city. Dublin is a fine city to visit, and highlights include the Guinness Storehouse, Dublin Castle and The National Gallery of Ireland, whilst evenings should be spent enjoying live music and a pint of Guinness in the pubs of Temple Bar.
You may choose to visit Belfast in Northern Ireland, a 170km drive north off Dublin. If you begin your trip in Belfast, you can pick up one of our economy rentals from Belfast International Airport (BFS), George Best Belfast City Airport (BHD) or various locations within Belfast City Centre. Exploring the counties of Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Londonderry and Tyrone is easiest done by car, giving you access to the wonderful heather-covered Sperrin Mountains, the hexagonal rock formations of the Giants Causeway and Londonderry, the ancient city of Ulster.
Back in Ireland, having access to a low-priced rental car you the freedom to get off the beaten track and explore. In the East of Ireland you will find the prehistoric monument of Newgrange in County Meath, the monastery of Clonmacnoise in County Offaly and plenty of opportunities for golfing and horse racing in County Kildare. Take a drive along Braveheart Drive in County Wicklow to enjoy beautiful golden sandy beaches, rolling mountains, wooded glens and lakes and if you are not used to small winding country roads and traffic jams caused by flocks of sheep, you will find driving in Ireland to be an experience in itself.
In Western Ireland, on the Atlantic Coast are rugged coastlines and a wilder landscape. As you drive through the counties of Donegal, Galway, Limerick and Mayo, you will discover the West of Ireland’s incredible charms. Enjoy driving along the dramatic coastal highlands of southwest Donegal or the curving and undulating Glengesh Pass. Discover the captivating Glenveagh National Park and Castle and the picturesque town of Adare. If you are feeling adventurous, you can take a hike to the top of Ben Bulben in County Sligo or wonder over the dramatic cliffs of Moher in County Clare.
Hire a cheap car in the South of Ireland, an area known for its laid-back life and fine food. You’ll discover farmers markets and excellent restaurants in the city of Cork, luxurious spas in Kerry and beautiful beaches in Wexford and Waterford. Drive through the counties of Tipperary, Kilkenny and Carlow, and make sure you take a trip to the Blarney Stone, just north of Cork. Kissing the stone will grant you ‘the gift of the gab’, but if kissing a stone that many busloads of tourists have kissed before you doesn’t appeal, you can enjoy exploring the beautiful gardens of Blarney Castle.
Ireland is a fantastic place to visit, but whilst you are bound to find the locals warm and welcoming, you can’t always expect the same from the weather.

Rent an Economy Compact Car in Ireland
A compact car, supermini or small city car… whatever name you give it, this is the most economical car you can rent in Ireland. Ideal for couples, small families or city driving, not only are compact city cars the cheapest rental category, you will also find that these simple little run around cars keep fuel costs to a minimum. Look out for cars that deliver a good fuel economy (65 mpg being a good return, 80mpg is excellent), such as the manual transmission Volkswagen Polo with a diesel engine that delivers 74.3mpg or the Peugeot 308 Hdi, a great little small family car that delivers an impressive 79mpg. The Peugeot 107 and the Toyota Aygo are also reliable low price small cars, so choose a supermini with excellent fuel efficiency and find out for yourself how much money you can save.
Family Car Hire at Cheaper Rental Rates
If you are travelling with a family and luggage, or are planning to travel long distances, a mid-size or full-size car is what you need. You can find cheap mid-size cars to hire in Ireland, including the Toyota Auris Hybrid and the sporty Hyundai i30 automatic tdi. The larger Toyota Prius Hybrid is also a good option, delivering an impressive fuel economy of 83.1mpg, saving you money on your gas. Other cheaper full-size cars include the Volkswagen Passat and the Mercedes C Class, giving you the space and comfort you need for a long journey whilst you reduce rental costs and petrol consumption.
Low Price 7 seater Car Hire
For travels with a large group, hiring a 7 seater minivan is probably the cheapest option. 7 seater cars come in a range of shapes and sizes, from the most economical 5+2 estate car up to a larger 7 seater MPV or minivan. If you are travelling with children, a 5+2 stationwagon is probably your cheapest option, such as the Peugeot 307 Wagon (with Sat Nav). The additional seats are ideal for kids, but not always suitable for adults and long distances, and you may need to consider a larger MPV or minivan. A compact MPV will be the lowest price 7 seater rental and recommended models include the Peugeot 508 5+2 TDI and the Volkswagen Touran 5+2.
Renting Cheap Minivans, 8 Seater Vehicles and Vans in Ireland
Renting a Minivan or People Carrier in Ireland is the cheapest way to transport 8 or more people, and you can take advantage of the great deals that Bingo Car Rental can offer online. The Chevrolet Spin is a simple yet stylish and comfortable 8 passenger MPV, the 9 seater diesel Fiat Scudo is an economical minivan, whilst for larger groups, the 12 seater Hyundai H1 delivers a great performance and excellent fuel economy. If you are planning a long road trip or a weekend in the country, a Toyota Previa Campervan rental might be the cheapest option for you, providing you with the freedom to travel in comfort and style, as well as an affordable, comfortable and safe place to sleep.
SUV and 4x4 Car Rental at Budget Prices
If it is an off-road vehicle you are looking for, or an impressive sporty looking SUV, then find out what cheap deals are available on SUV and 4x4 hire. If you want to save money on fuel costs, an SUV won’t be as fuel efficient as a subcompact car, but there are some SUV’s that will deliver more than 50mpg, including the manual Volkswagen Tiguan Diesel and the crossover SUV Nissan Qashqai Diesel. For a larger 4x4, the Range Rover Evoque or the BMW X3 also deliver a good fuel economy and are both reliable, safe and practical 4x4’s, ideal for family vacations and off road adventures.
